Louisa, of all the places in all of SE22, why on earth did YOU (of all people, ha ha) decide that The Herne was a good idea for a spot of luncheon?! Do you have deep-seated masochistic tendencies? Or what?!!

Kilt = skirt (as in) aftershave = perfume (as in) spade = spade

HA HA I had an unexpected phone call from her once - which is took whilst I was sitting in the bath. My flatmate at the time was out having a few drinks and she was in the bar, so he asked her to give me a call. "Pracataaaaaan...!" For a minute or two I was very confused.

There's only one way to get this thread going: Lay-deez - post your pictures up, and let us gentlemen be the judge! Two categories: 'tops on', and 'tops off'

It kinda reminds me of my secondary school.

Hee hee.. Not offended... But Jah, you do wear perfume - sorry - aftershave. You said so. It's up there in black and white. It seems that, whilst gruffly denouncing those that have fallen prey to the current metrosexual marketing push, you've conveniently ignored how you yourself were suckered by the previous one: when 'Enry said it woz ok to 'splash it on all over'. (Despite the fact that you ended-up smelling like a tart's underwear drawer and that people standing near to you in the pub found it difficult to breathe.)

Yes, Jah.. I am confused too. I have been known to occasionally apply moisturiser so my FACE DOESN'T HURT but it seems you're happy to occasionally wear PERFUME so that you SMELL NICER. Mmmm... where lies the vanity here?!

eh voila! http://www.londonslang.com/db/d/

James - just had a look on Wikipedia, which has plenty on 'traditional dutch ovens' - but not kind I'm talking about. There's also a section called 'Dutch ovens and the Boy Scouts' - I can't stop laughing.

Polly, you wait 'till he gets that ring on your finger. From then on it'll be wee on the bathroom floor and 'dutch ovens' for you.

Is there anyone from the BRG reading? COME FORTH!

Must be the Oglander. The story is a lesson to us all. We should all go to the pub immediately and do our bit for the community

If only.. sniff..

A bottle of Aveda skin tonic fell out of their man-bag.

I wouldn't say I was a fully-fledged ogler - more of an 'enthusiastic amateur'.

Dark shades and a cushion on the lap, no doubt.

Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Till it's gone They paved paradise And they put up a parking lot (or something)

ha ha If we clamped-down on riff-raff vehicles, this might not be necessary. We could form an 'exclusion zone' around SE22 to keep-out vehicles over a certain age. Any offending car found within the zone to be destroyed: Belgrano-stylee.

Ignoring my first attendance (over 15 years ago - shriek!) where, like all the other teens, we foolishly set-up shop as near to the pyramid as possible (dur): Top spot was always in the Green Fields bit in between the stone circle and where Lost Vagueness is now. But as we don't usually get there until Thursday afternoon, it's impossible to get on that bit - especially with more than one tent. Last couple of fests we were at the same end, but on the other side - the bit behind the Glade / green futures (whatever this field is called)

James.. are you suggesting that straight men are worse than gay men in this respect? The the worst culprits in my sphere of friends are a couple called - well let's just call the 'Bill' and 'Ben'. And have you seen the bogs in 'Fire' after a busy night?!

Ps - nice one, Sean. Just goes to show.. there's always hope (sorry, Tillie)

I'm going all.. in a group of 10 or so. I can't wait.. hahahahahaha! You're never too old!
