  1. Some ancient Pogues song - maybe Navigator. Or N17 by the Saw Doctors - that one never wears thin
  2. I'd like to be able to get some sense out of politicians. (I work with some of them.) But suspect that's asking too much.
  3. walk over the hill and come to seymours tea rooms at the bottom of Grove Lane. OK not a park but nice little back garden with grape vines for shade, very child friendly, wireless internet access. I was there for lunch with a friend the other day and his salad took a while to come - cos the manager ran out to get more parmesan. Now that's what we like!
  4. oh typical - set up the visitor from camberwell to say the f word
  5. Ooooh I now have both. 3 yr old retro blackberry from work so my boss can't find out where I am. And N95 for personal use - looked into the point about faults and Orange seem to have the worst record, so I went with TMobile's web'n'walk service and seems fine. Very cool device..... The bberry failed last week when the corporate contract migrated and the IT guys reckoned it wouldn't cope with the new firmware but one of them came and played with it and all good again.
  6. I have a bright and sporty girl and a less bright and incredibly non-sporty girl. She was asthmatic when little and gets breathless v quickly. So I'm very sympathetic with the "something for everyone" approach. There are a lot of chances for sporting excellence in and around school, and they are very hsppy to celebrate success at assemblies and through the newsletter, so sports day isn't the sole focal point.
  7. They said they'd have had to lose much-needed space if they redesigned to retain the onions.
  8. Don't get philosophical. I want cowbear apologising. He can stand outside parliament if Liverpool's too far. Short hop on the 12 - no hassle, and no tax breaks for marrieds.
  9. So David Cameron says society is broken. I think he's right and that cowbear did it with his attacks on decent breastfeeding mothers, not to mention his daughter's campaign to abolish the fine old sarf london tradition of rabbit rustling. Is he prepared to cycle to Liverpool and apologise?
  10. I b/fed my babies here, there and everywhere but chickened out on the terrace of the House of Commons, where I made my loud and grabby 9 month old suffer the indignities of a bottle. She was not impressed and kept hauling my shirt up, outraging the crusty MPs around us. She's 9 now and I'm sure she'd be happy to enlighten Cowbear's littl'un. After snatching her mobile of course, since we're SE5 rednecks.
  11. I am. I'm worried about the subsidence. Don't want you lot sliding up Dog Kennel Hill and down the other side to Camberwell.
  12. ditto
  13. I have worked for both MP and council and it does make a difference. Clearly not much where there are statutory limits on the issue, but officers pay attention to MPs' letters
  14. we have guinea pigs. Would you be prepared to advise on their care?
  15. I'm in Camberwell now. East Dulwich has clearly gone downhill since we left.
  16. I get really good work/life balance with my blackberry. Mine's quite old as my employer were early adopters and it's not great for web. But I've been sitting in the park catching up on work mail while the kids play for 3 years now so can swear by it as a stress reducer!
  17. So you're sending your 7 yr old to school at 8am with mobile but the woman breastfeeding in Nero is the bad guy? LOL surely there aren't hoaxers on this board
