As I said, the 18th was a tentative suggestion and we can always move it OR have multiple nights of Karting Open to suggestions

Keef, I would suggest you borrow it as soon as you can as you will need to practice first... When I did my first internet race I had my backside whipped by some spotty japanese kid* who choose the most difficult course available... (* yeah I know some people pay good money for treatments like that but not my cup of tea !!(6))

Okay let us get this party started Auntie Bob's Driving Licence number is 0731-4909-7027 B) add that code to your mario kart friends list and it should send me an invite to link up... if it doesn't PM me and let me know your code... I suspect that a week is needed to get peoples codes up and then we can race (not the rainbow raceway as it makes my eyes hurt !!!) Let me tentatively suggest Monday 18th August at 8pm for race night!!!

Chav - that brought all sorts of wrong connertations to mind there.... Seamusmac - Personally I think you should do what I did once when my cousin abused boundries like that... I removed all food, drink, toilet rolls and so on and refused to replace them... It did result in a stand off for a few days until we both met in the Upland Cafe for breakfast without realising that we were both eating 3 meals a day there (and using their loo) ... made us laugh and allowed us to talk... OR you need to say to these people that they need to move on as it is causing problems in the house and you are sorry they are lazy greedy and freeloading feckers but that isn't your problem to cope with...(change the locks when they go out for the day !!!) as a former boss of mine said years ago, "The things you have to put up with when you don't own a gun" not sure what he meant but....

Damn you Lord Lucan... You and Shergard are on to me again ....

There is a post on the 'wanted' section talking about Nintendo Wii and setting it up on line. Part of the post goes off at a tangent and talks about a East Dulwich Mario Kart race... which got me thinking How many people have a Wii on here, how many have Mario Kart (don't get me started on Wii Fit... Wii Blumming Heart Attack more like) and is there enough people who want a race In Mario Kart ? if so then post your Mario Kart Driving Licence code here and suggest a date for a race night plus which cup we are racing for (how sad being in on a summers evening but ...) I will post my code here later on when I get a chance to get on the Wii Oh yes, and strangely enough I race under the name of 'Auntie Bob' not LuvPeckham... :-S

Meoooww Get that man a saucer of Milk to wash down his Petrol with !!! We know where you live Snorky and we are coming to get you for that - Signed MG Owners Club - Sorry meant to say "Anon"

Who says old MG's don't have alarms... mine does (and bizarely Central locking too... not bad for a 72 car...) It is more likely they are stealing from old cars because the fuel lines are easier to get to then modern ones... that said I am sorry to hear that you had your car vandalised and your petrol stolen like that... could be quite dangerous if you were just about to pull out in a tight space on a busy road... Thank you for bringing this to peoples attention, I hope you reported it to the police and that someone catches the idiots who are doing this (thinks good firm kicking would be too light a punishement for anyone who damaged my old girl) Glad Kevin was able to assist and hopefully it won't happen again.

The Swedish people are a clever race, they can get out of a lot of things... World War 2 for example, Ikea without buying something they didn't want and by the looks of it in this case Gas, Electricity and other bills... But don't worry, the Scandinavian Countries have the highest suicide rates, something to do with long winters nights ... therefore I would suggest turning off all the lights, shutting the blackout curtains at 3pm and waiting for the inevitable to happen...

They did an excellent report on 'The Gadget Show' last year about what items survive a good dunking and what doesn't, how to maximise your chance of recovering a dunked electrical item and what not to do in case of an accident... It was informative, interesting, useful but sadly I have the memory of a goldfish.... which reminds me they did an excellent report on 'The Gadget Show' last year.... I had a friend who dropped her phone down the portaloo in a stables once, it hadn't been emptied for a fortnight and she managed to retrieve the phone, let it dry out and apart from the display not working again the phone was still capable of making and receiving calls... mind you she never answered it as it smelled so foul... As for the top pocket syndrome, ladies it is a common problem for men, who bend over the toilet to pick the seat up and their phone drops out into the water below from their to pocket... biggest cause of mobile phone failure apparently and without sounding like a chauvinistic pig ? if the toilet seat was left up like it was designed to be, then men wouldn?t have to bend over to open it thus loosing their phones in the process?a simple but effective argument for not putting the seat down I think gentlemen?. ;-) So Kel - does it work yet or have you given up and thrown it away... it's like loosing a best friend (with a memory for numbers) when your phone dies...

It seems to have gone from appreciation of the personality towards looks and great bums.... Always reminds me of the joke about employing barmaids where a manager of the local pub was talking to his friend and said "the other day I interviewed three women for the role of a barmaid, and I used an unsual test of asking each of them what they would do if they found a ?10 note on the floor near the bar. The first said she would put a note up to say that she had found it, and after 24 hours place it in the tip jar. The second said that she would yell out across the bar that she had found it, put a notice up and then after 48 hours put it in the tip Jar The third said she would yell out, then go from person to person to check if they had lost anything before putting a notice up and then after 7 days putting it in the Tip Jar" His friend was suitably impressed and asked which one he employed "oh that is easy" said the manager "the one with the biggest melons of course" (it's the way I tell 'em apparently)

Oaky - a weird title for a discussion I grant you, however before you dismiss it allow me to provide a bit of history to the title. Years ago I used to work in Glasgow where there were 2 drum and monkey pubs, my work colleage in Glasgow (Big Dave as they all seem to be) used to drag me to one on a Tuesday night and the other on a Thursday night because (and in his own words) "There is a particularly rutty looking barmaid in one on Tuesday and a different (but equally rutty) one in the other on Thursday" Before anyone asks, I have no idea what on earth he was talking about... I just went for a pint of Scotch (the local beer) so in honour of our local barmaids (and barmen) I now ask you to nominate your favourite one (pub and name if known plus reason for nominating) so that we can do a roll call of the most friendly / attractive or whatever To start the ball rolling Eva and Gemma at the Rye in Peckham - two of the friendliest people I know

See another useful thing about trees is that they help to absorb the sound of car alarms going off in the middle of the night Mr JRussel, just imagine how loud and echoie* they would be with no trees to deflect and absorb the sound... Can I suggest planting more trees along our roads to help curb the menace of car alarms at night... *is this a real word ??

I agree, 15 minutes of toasting bread normally (from past experience) results in the fire brigade visiting, scortched work tops and a new paint scheme for the Kitchen I don't agree with adding tomato Ketchup or Dijon Mustard to the beans... after all they come in a tomato sauce already, and a dribble of worcestheshir sauce... what a heathen you are, half a bottle or nothing (although tabasco makes an interesting alternative, but never a half a bottles worth or a little 'Shito' chilli paste is also 'mind blowingly good') then cheese on the toast, either raw or lightly grilled with warmed beans (5 minutes cooking required if no Tomato sauce has been added ;-) ) poured on top.... Simple, blissful, satisfing and can be made whilst doing other things for those five minutes.... :)

I am confused I spend a lot of the time in the Kitchen, everything is cooked fresh, no ready meals here (unless you count the odd Frezza Pizza) and have been that way since a young boy... (damn that sex change worked wonders) However, the concept of 4 minutes vs 15 minutes a day washing clothes scares me... I (lik,e most blokes living alone) do 2 washes a week, dark and lights ... so do women do 7 washes a week (in a really fast machine obviously) ??? as for how long I spend in the kitchen,. depends on what i am cooking, Squid and Potatoes Genonoa style occupies me for 3 hours, pasta sauce for 2 hours, home made pasta about an hour, bread about 45 minutes and beans on tost about 5 minutes... I guess, like most things it lasts as long as it does, and somethimes it takes hours, other times it is over in a flash.... depending on how excited I get (about cooking I hasten to add for all you smutty people out there !!!)

Happydent Stunning

lorenika, apparently you need to watch out for the trees in East Dulwich, or at least the strange people who think there are too many (mutters under breath about care in the community and how it may not be working when thinks about 'too many trees in East Dulwich' thread) I have been her nearly 15 years (the villagers almost accept me now, but I am still a bit of an outsider) and all I can say is if you are coming here then welcome to one of the nicest areas I have ever lived in

This is one of those genuine "WTF" moments in my life I put up a video of a song that I like, and next thing I know there is a debate about Girl on girl, the use of lesbianism in videos to sell a song, group participation and so on.... like I said WTF.... thank god that Freddie Mercury didn't resort to pretending to be gay to sell his videos ("I want to break free" rests my case M'lord) Yours in disbelief of Peckham borders !!!

Meooow Waiter can I have a Saucer of Milk for KalamityKitty ;-) However if Katy Perry did live in ED, just imagine the next ED Drinks ....

I kissed a girl and I liked it The taste of her cherry chap stick I kissed a girl just to try it I hope my boyfriend don't mind it It felt so wrong It felt so right Don't mean I'm in love tonight I kissed a girl and I liked it I liked it absolutly no reason at all for this post except to ask why Katy Perry doesn't live in East Dulwich ?

I think the one that I found most disturbing today was "Too many Trees in East Dulwich" (6)

Jrussel Ypu are correct in your assumption, sadly the word I really wanted to put in wouldn't be acceptable to a lot of people, even though they were thinking it.... so "T-Wat" was the most 'appropriate' in this situation....but I am sure, now that I have had beer that I could come up with a different word, however I can't be bothered (does this tree look bothered?)

I don't know if anyone else feels this way but I do think there is an excess of t-wats in East Dulwich and I think this can mainly be attributed to the laziness of the council. This is not the countryside, it is a capital city. Therefore it seems quite unacceptable to allow the t-wats to get out of control in the way that they do. They stir up arguements with their stupid concepts which can cause people with thinking difficulties many problems, and dead conversations can fall off and injure people?s intellegence. Discussions blocked by rotting concepts can cause serious harm to your mental health. They also encourage stupid postings and other pests. I am not anti-t-wat per se but I think they should be kept to appropriate areas. I would like to hear other peoples' views on this matter as I am currently drafting a letter to local councillors as well as Boris Johnston. understand more about this post here

Hmmm Interesting post Jrussel Personaly I enjoy having trees around me rather then staring blankly at concrete buildings as you would if you had your way and made this a concrete jungle without any trees in it I am rather confused how "leaves can fall off and injure people" (okay I am taking it out of context here) and sure there are occasional problems with some of the more mature and well established trees lifting the paving stones with their roots, but that is nature for you and I for one wouldn't want to see a tree cut down jsut because it has grown taller over the years ... that is akin to saying that anyone with feet over a certain size damages the pavement when they walk so we have to cull them all... (yes I know not the same way as a tree root does but you see what I am driving at as a concept) So what is an appropriate area in your mind, lets look at the tree lined streets of Paris for example (another major city and so much better for the trees growing in it) or Washington DC with the main mall (full of trees) and the Cherry trees near the Capitol building that look splended in the spring. Why shouldn't we be proud of trees that make the roads look more natural and less , well boring to be honest... and if we didn't have trees then where would the sparrows sing their dawn songs from, and sure the Pigeons use them as well but so do the magpies, crows, sparrow hawks, thrushes, robins, tits and a variety of other wonderful wildlife (actually it would stop those pesky squirels thought) Still I guess if we didn't have trees in the streets then the local dogs wouldn't go to the toilet (poor puppies) no one would collect conkers, there would be a poor air quality as the trees help with that, sound from passing cars would be louder as the trees help to baffle that as well, Autumn would be grey (and concrete) and most of all spring would be so much less joyful when the local trees (that weren't here) fail to bud, produce blossm and then get covered in leaves. I guess one thing to consider is who do the trees belong to, are they council property or public property, if they have been here for longer then the road then obviously they don't belong to anyone and they have the right to grow freely, but equally they are something that the majority of people actually enjoy (straw poll of 1 in my household and everyone voted for the trees). I am not one to normally say things like this, and I believe everyone has the right to an opinion, but I feel driven by the concept of your post so much that I really have to respond with "Get a life Jrussel"
