The new booking system was launched today. I rang up and made an appointment for my daughter in a week 's time. No problems. Fingers crossed that they've cracked it now and will keep it up in future.

I had high hopes that things had improved, but I have just waited over 15 minutes for my call to be answered only to be told that the next available appointment is on 29th February -- not with a specific doctor or anything tricky like that. I really need to move surgeries. Is there ANYwhere fairly locally that might be an improvement?

Highly recommended. http://www.sitters.co.uk/?gclid=CO_qoZX_n8oCFRThGwodZ-gDKA

Telegraph Hill Park. Google it for exact whereabouts. One Tree Hill is very muddy at the moment.

Hills and Parkes deli in Honor Oak has reopened as Honor Oak Potager, and judging by the signage is the same company as the one scheduled to open on FHR.

Maybe things are about to get better. I called this afternoon, got put straight through and got an appointment at a time and date that suited me. This has not been my experience recently so it was a pleasant surprise. Also, after every single repeat prescription being messed up in some way for the past several months, my most recent one went through smoothly in the timescale promised. I see they have employed a practice pharmacist, which might help free up the doctors a bit.

What is a goof?

I trust Renata Hamvas. But you don't know me from a bar of soap so I can't see that my opinion is worth very much to you.

I have Australian friends who have used this place which seems okay. http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Hotel_Review-g186338-d2101572-Reviews-Glenthurston_Self_Catering_Apartments-London_England.html

St Francesca Cabrini School have put in an application to the Council to chop down a number of trees, including a huge, healthy sycamore and a giant horse chestnut. I hate the idea of trees being felled and would like to object, but don't know what are considered reasonable grounds for objection. I'm guessing that "I really like looking at those wonderful trees," isn't going to cut it. Anyone know what I could say that might stop them being chopped down?

I have to pick up someone from Victoria coach station at about 9.30 pm one night next week. Does anyone know of a good spot where I could pull up in a car nearby and wait? I'd prefer not to have to go into a parking garage or anything like that.

I went to the loo during the crucial reveal moment in The Crying Game and when I got back and asked my husband if anything important had happened I didn't believe his answer.

The councillor has lived in the lodge for much longer than she has been a councillor. There is absolutely no connection between her role and her residence.

There's a thread about a "strange Polo" that seems to provide an answer to your question.

Cirio and Napolina

Could someone have been trying to make a cast of the inside of the keyhole? A bit far fetched, I know, but one would use Vaseline to stop the casting medium getting stuck.
