Shaggy

Slightly off the point -- but Kidkruger, are you saying you secretly record court proceedings, or was that an unfortunate turn of phrase. Recording court proceedings is a clear contempt. A judge WILL jail anybody he catches doing it. That's why court reporters have good shorthand. Anybody who takes a recording device into a courtroom, or tribunal hearing, should also bring a toothbrush.

That was brilliant!

Actually, nobody has answered Dully's question. Did anybody else see the dolls for sale?

*Yawn* Christ, you are all so fking boring. Get lives. Anyway, you have all convinced me that the state sector is a non-starter. Have fewer kids and send them private. If you can't afford it, get better jobs. Simple. Btw I know many journalists on the Mail. They are all extremely nice people.

Gordon Brown wants to run the IMF.

Apologies if it has already been mentioned, but anybody got any guesses about where the 240k ED three bed bargain mentioned in this article might be? http://www.telegraph.co.uk/property/propertynews/8425711/Historic-houses-for-sale-at-bargain-prices-by-desperate-town-halls.html

I've an idea. Why not get cyclists to wear bells around their necks, like cats, that jingle-jangle as they pedal? That way pedestrians won't be startled by them, and cyclists won't have to rudely ring their bells at people to get them to move out of the way.

I think he said something along the lines of: ``if the council says you have missed the deadline, give them an extra push because the deadline that councils set isn't legally binding, it is just their policy, so can be altered. If you can't have a street party, nobody can stop you having a party in your garden.'' James' post seems to be exactly in the spirit of the PM's diktat: he's waiving the official deadline (which, no doubt was set because of the difficulties inherent in closing a street in a busy London borough,) and encouraging everybody who wants to have a party to remove their fingers ASAP and get organizing. It's not as if he hasn't been encouraging people from the start, though.

Just Williams also has them.

Just WIlliams, on LL.

It probably is chicken and egg, I think it's worth a shot though on maybe one night a week. But the shops would have to co-ordinate and make an event out of it. Though if they did it in the middle of winter I doubt it would work. I think a couple of late night shopping festivals once the clocks change would be a worthwhile experiment.

I vote yes. If there was an M&S or a Waitrose nearby I'd still use the local non-chain stores, but wouldn't use Ocado and Lordship Lane Co-op. It's such a shame the Co-ops are so badly run. They could be great stores. And if some of the food stores could stay open later some nights I'd use them for sure. I'd love to come home on a week night with a loaf from the EDD.

Asquith peckham rye could have some spaces.

To be honest, I doubt they will but think they should. They aren't a charity, they are premium-priced private nursery, and part of a large company. The weather is unfortunate, but I see no reason why they should pass their costs on to their customers when they are unable to provide the service we pay for.

It is a brilliant technique. It works perfectly. I read it a while back (thanks Nappy Lady) and it really worked.

Out n About have a couple of good ones. You can get the catalogue from soup dragon. We have the standard all terrain 3 wheeler and that shold be fine. They do make a special running one though with wheels like a racing bike.

Has anyone found a monkey toy on Northcross Road? I think Baby Shaggy must have thrown it from her pram near the pharmacy late this afternoon (Saturday.)

No idea whatsoever. How much?

Something very similar happened to me once and I later discovered what the problem was, although it was very specific to me. I used to ride a Vesper which I kept in the garden in front of the house. I didn't use it that often. One morning I smelled petrol in the house and couldn't work out what it was. Smell lingered a day or so. When I next used the bike it wouldn't start. When I took it in for repair I was told that somebody had tampered with it to nick the petrol. Maybe you have a bike and the same thing has happened, or maybe somebody has tampered with a car in front of your house and spilled it near your front garden. I bet that would cause quite a stink.

*Bob*, the way *you* think the BBC should spend its budget is not the point. *You* said that Ross' salary was meaningless. Ross himself said, albeit in jest, that his salary equated to 1000 positions in the BBC's news service. The BBC is a public service broadcaster and clearly news and current affairs fits more into the public service agenda than light entertainment. There is a balance to be struck but the suggestion that the very high salaries that some BBC staff get has no impact on other programme making doesn't withstand scrutiny. They are still large sums and money doesn't grow on trees even at the Beeb.

*Bob* - I think Wossy himself put his own salary into context at the British Comedy Awards in 2007 when news of his ?18 million pay package came out close to the time that the BBC said it was cutting hundreds of jobs in its newsroom. Wossy said he was ``worth a thousand BBC journalists.'' *Bob* Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Steve, > You need to put the likes JR's salary (6 million / > year) in the context of the BBCs annual budget (in > excess of 4+ Billions / year).

A gun shop.

Our beautiful tiny little daughter grunts and chunters and snots and farts like a Guiness-filled rugby player throughout the whole night. Now I wake up when I don't hear chuntering.
