LM - try baking soda and leave it to soak for ages.

Well, that makes two of us NN as I don't understand any of the claims (points?) made in your posts I'm afraid. Seems like lots of quotations and odd 'facts' and figures plucked from who knows where... And your posts remind me of somebody else on here, that's all. Biscuit? I have just made some yummy chocolate and macadamia ones.

Do you have an undisputed relative on here by any chance?

Fuck me this thread gets weirder by the minute...honestly, I think i'd encounter more sense and credibility from a Fortean Times Convention. Is there a fucking sign up in the Lounge, lop-sided and precariously swinging from one nail saying 'You don't have to be mad to post here. But it helps...'? Mind you, nutters on local forum shocker. Green ink supplies dry out in leafy east dulwich shocker. *looks in mirror*

And you're differentiating them from the nutters? I see. Anyway, please don't deliberately misunderstand what I wrote, that's annoying in any serious discussion (not so in the lounge).

Anyone been following the events in India over the protests on anti-corruption? Thousands of protesters flocked to India Gate, Dehli the other day - and across every state in the country - over the current government not passing the Lokpal Bill against corruption. Biggest protests in India since independence and I don't know how many times this bill has not made it through Parliament since then. I hope that the actions of Anna Hazare achieve something. India is an amazing country, think what it will achieve without the levels of corruption as they stand...

Yeah, I ws going to comment on that earlier but as I don't read the Torygraph regularly (and never the opinion pieces anyway as I hate those in whatever paper) but...my understanding is that anyone who thinks the paper (certainly over the last 5years if not more) is very right-wing is mistaken. Its as bland as the Independent. So wholly surprised to see that bit about comments not being allowed but there you go...

Strafer, you've got to be joking. No-one could construe it as so, the remark about bunnies as being less offensive as using the word animals was even more galling in itself. Did he think anyone would believe that for a second? So no, I don't think anyone will see it as him being a victim of pc-gone-mad (by people with a brain, that is) PS - going back a page, did you spot that comment from SeanMac (RIP) "mum doing kitcheny things in the kitchen" !! Glad HE'S gone...harrumph.

The single tomato I have managed to grow this year. All other plants are bountiful but sadly, not this plum variety. I have become a little obsessive about the solitary piece of fruit and check it's progress with an unhealthy frequency. But it makes me smile every time I see it :)

Namaste, oh Radiant One of the Bhuna, If this is still happening next week, could you count me in please? Feels like aaaaaages since I last joined you curry clubbers. PS I am now party to Important Information regarding Curry, Customer Service and the perils of Complacency. Can divulge if bribed with chilli pakoras.

Yoo hoo! Ms Curtain - they're back! KATIE B) :-S

LOL but key difference being the decline in UK oil production is down to the fact we've maximised those resources already hence natural decline. We have encouraged investment in what's left of the North Sea and West of Shetlands etc. In Venezuela they still have massive proven reserves but Chavez, Ramirez, have not encouraged investment or talent into making the most of it. Dogged by strikes and financial mismanagement, companies unwilling to do business in their regulatory environment. Sad to see this in beautiful Venezuela; shame they cannot follow Brazil, who out of that whole region, seem to be getting it right.

LadyD - interesting thread, as ever :) However, I don't hold out much hope for his aspirations for a state-owned gold mining industry, stamping out illegal mining and corruption. He's already well and truly fucked up the running of its natural resources; their oil industry astonishingly owes huge sums of money to companies such as Exxon. Lots of workers in the energy sector are still waiting on their pay after months and the state-run company has lost much of its knowledge and talent over the years, is in steep decline, whilst shamefully many of the country (poor) sit in darkness. Let's see if he spends wisely on this...

Large Blossom Hill for karter coming up. Its white and slightly warm. Hasn't yet discovered the scotch eggs at the bottom of the picnic hamper. There's no chorizo though.

It just sounds worse than it really is. Harder coming back down the sloping carpark ramps in very high heels though... > Oh, it's only open Thurs - Sun, lunchtime til > about 10-ish.

When I went on a Saturday, it was packed by 7.30 with long queues for drinks. I also did the same as PGC one Monday eve and we ended up at Bar Story too. Never felt uneasy on Rye Lane either but agree with Jeremy, there's a scary, badly lit corridor to navigate near the side of the car park and I wouldn't fancy walking there on my own late at night. Didn't realise that people would drive there!!

Well, I saw Jamie Oliver in Sainsbury's too. But he was definitely on his way to Londis. Via Woodvale.

Bet you CC doesn't even see this. Mine's a mojito, ta.

No, we had enough of banging on about families and faith by Tony Blair and New Labour. I have moved away from my family, left home at 17, am not religious, was brought up fairly but strictly by my mum on her own. But the facts are that some of us could do with nannying from the government and some don't need it at all.

No, we're all 'locavores' here in ED. The Waitrose/Ocado thing is oh so ironic. Edited: to add ironic font and smiley face, lest anyone take me seriously. (I do think the Waitrose thing is mostly a running joke around these parts though)

gang activity

Little Greene French Grey. Has to be. 12 members now and the Admin posting in the Lounge already. Wonder if anyone's mentioned the dreaded 'W' word yet.
