Hey Kathryn, If you are in a serious mood go for "The Flowers of Evil" by Baudelaire ( that will sort your mind out ) If you are in a relaxed mood go for "The Alchemist" by Coelho If you are in a rubbish mood go for the "Da Vinci Code" by Brown If you are in a top mood go for "The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar and Six More" by Roald Dahl GREAT READ !!! (tu)

Why ?? What's so good about carluccio ( apart from his huge bank account ) ?

Yeah, Iceland is good they often have specials on minced beef and other meats (That I obviously use as a dog's food ) Long live iceland (tu)

Keef, That's certainly NOT the machine gun "type" I mean... however and because you like Metallica, we have a point of agreement indeed...!!! (tu)

mockney piers, What exactly is a "librarian's stare" ? The stares you get at the Dulwich library are straight out of a Stephen King's movie ( stares and starers )... SPOOKY...(6)

D-Mum ....... :))

Hi D-Mum, I like trophy wives, especially when they're upset with their husbands.... Next time he goes for rugby, you can come around and play some...ping..pong.. with me >:D<

Keef, Can call it the batdogs ONLY if some one plays a machine gun!!! ha..ha..

Your au pair is way too relaxed and eased down... more discipline please !!!(tu)

Hey D-Mum, You keepin' sweet 'n easy ? Just make sure that the bowl is Swarovski and the water NOT Aqua di Parma BUT pure Borsec >:D<

(tu)

Ha-ha, I am NOT that beautiful and clever...!!!

Dear D-Mum, My location is for now classified, might disclose it when back in the UK. My dogs have plenty of private space to run and walk however there is a trained dog-sitter to look after them in my absence,I've also informed the dog-sitter in case of an "emergency" to contact your slovakian nanny...!!! I presume she has a statuesque eastern european look, some one of such a good taste like you, wouldn't scare off her own children by employing a halloween witch... HA..HA... My 2 rottweilers have been properly trained not only for extreme defence / attack in case of danger, but also to be family friendly and they get on very well with children...of any age. (tu) I've been adviced by lawyers to keep low profile on any public platforms for the moment, it is all due to national security reasons. (when I am not around) My dog-sitter is often in your part of town, so if you see 2 gorgeous rottweilers with a good looking sitter, you know that those are batdog's dogs Will certainly think of all of you when roasting my body on a white Caribbean sunny and warm beach.... >:D<

I am actually organising one this weekend... in the Caribbean... B) ( flying out thursday ) So some one else should do the one in East Dulwich...

Yeah, the picture gallery coffee is not bad at all !! But I do not know of any places in SE22 that serves an espresso the "italian way" and if such a place exists, PLEASE let me know. There must be some Italians on this forum ?

Mockney piers, I like quotes and I am not suggesting that the forum night out doesn't exists. And especially after D-Mum last post I am now obliged to appear at the next reunion. Re: photoshop, I believe you're the wizard not andrew... (tu)

Leto, the only italian thing about the restaurant which used to be next to green & blue was it's name, absolutely nothing else and the food was of a very poor taste indeed.... If it was good it would have still been there (td) also there are still no places in se22 serving a decent pizza... unfortunately..!!

Spymum WELL SAID, clean up your dogs cakes you all !!! (tu)

Townleygreen, Carol Cars was sold off 4 years ago and is no longer operating, however their old place at the beginning of Barry rd opposite the clock house, just re-opened a new mini cab business, will try them and let you know. Carolcars used to be one of the best and most reliable mini cabs company in town.... Carol cars at the end of the nineties was the largest "privately" owned Mini Cab company in London with a total of 130 drivers and Carol cars used to own most of the cars ( Peugeouts ) .... Shame they have gone....

There was a smear campaign against caffe nero in winter 2005-2006 on a national forum ( nothing wrong with that). No need to say that some of the hypocrites "smearing" cafe nero were sitting in there ( and still are) the day the door opened for the first time. Unfortunately I can't name and shame them in here. Blue Mountain Cafe NEVER knew how to do a good coffee and espresso ( they have been told several time since they opened ), but suddenly after cafe nero opened, their coffee is very much improved... Miracle on North Cross Rd or.... Amazing what "competition" can do...!!! (tu)

D-Mum Think it twice, if you go to the next "forum night out", I am automatically obliged to be there too, therefore have to disclose my ID.... B)

Keef, All is sorted then.... (tu)

Domitianus, Re: the first part of you story, a police officer on duty dealing with a member of public has a legal obligation to identify him/herself ( unless number ID is displayed on the shoulders or elsewhere), even if it is a civilian support worker on duty ( the moment you enter their territory whoever is addressing you is "on duty" ), he/she has the legal obligation of giving the ID to a member of public. If they refuse to do so they are committing an offence and they can be legally prosecuted. 3 years ago a female staff in plain clothes and without any visible ID/Name started to take my details when i went there to report something and refused to give any details at all when I asked her to identify herself, she also said that she was alone and I couldn't see/speak to her supervisor. So it was a "no exit" situation. I decided to call 999 and reported to the operator that there was a female pretending to be a police staff/support worker trying to steal my personal details, all within the police station. As I insisted that it could have been a police station "heist" possibly by a professional gang, they eventually "believed" me and few minutes later a Peckham Patrol turned up ( 4 fully uniformed Officer ) and I explained what happened and asked them to remove the "suspicious" female from behind the counter. They all laughed and one of them actually knew her and told me that she was a support worker and she still must identify herself, ...suddenly a senior officer appeared from behind the office door and identifyied himself and the support female worker. This is only one of the several reason why I campaign for the full closedown of the useless ED police station. >:D<

Keef, You said it... it's a wine bar/shop.... >:D<

Hi D-Mum, I have been keeping low profile due to reasons of national security. I also would have loved to go to the EDT yesterday but I have been strongly adviced against revealing my handsome face and disclosing my ID. I guess the same is valid for you... >:D< However I'll be in "incognito" at the Green & Blue wine tasting evening on wednesday ( I am not part of the list, so I'll be mixing with the regular crowd )...
