Strawbs

I have to say I have had a pretty good time with them to be honest, Ive only been I think 3 times and 2 of those times I was offered an emergency appt that day - 1 of which i was at first refused as there were 'none left' but when I pushed and told them I was asthmatic and needed to see a GP and I would not accept being seen they fit me in that day around 4.30 and today was my 3rd appt which i went for a flu shot, I called up on Tuesday and was seen by Thursday.. When I arrived at 10.15 it wasnt all that full, lots of people seemed to be seeing the nurses like me rather than the GPs..

Traveling in a fried-out combie On a hippie trail, head full of zombie I met a strange lady, she made me nervous She took me in and gave me breakfast And she said, "Do you come from a land down under? Where women glow and men plunder? Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover." Buying bread from a man in Brussels He was six foot four and full of muscles I said, "Do you speak-a my language?" He just smiled and gave me a vegemite sandwich And he said, "I come from a land down under Where beer does flow and men chunder Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover." Lying in a den in Bombay With a slack jaw, and not much to say I said to the man, "Are you trying to tempt me Because I come from the land of plenty?" And he said, "Oh! Do you come from a land down under? (oh yeah yeah) Where women glow and men plunder? Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder? You better run, you better take cover."

DC - sheer brilliance! I loved that song when I was a kid and secretly still do.. AFter a few sherbets if that song came on who knows, you might have to hold me back!! ;-)

Jaws and I will be there for sure!! There wont be any singing on my part I can assure you for all of your sakes!! x

Once we have gone somewhere that month, when the next month is put up then that particular pub just doesnt go in to the poll so we only choose from what is left.. Maybe it then gets refreshed i.e. all the pubs go back in say every 6 months..

if we are after suggestions then my two pence worth is the rye.. I organise a separate meet up there once a month and they give us the back section with heaters etc and are great at catering for large numbers!! You never know they may even decorate for us given our numbers!! Otherwise Georgia Im happy just to go wherever you tell me to! x

work ladyflu credit crunch people who cant get their fecking tickets out prior to getting to the ticket turnstiles at a train station - get with the programme, youve only had all morning to get it out - why wait til the last second and hold us all up!! *breath*

He he *cough cough* yes quite right MP - phew nice save there, I luurrrvvveeee that particular lady!! ;-)

*cough cough* ladyflu chest infection *wheeze* *cough cough* going to get flu jab tomorrow... luvpeckham - bravo btw your post had me in stitches in between blowing my nose and feeling like I was about to cough up my stomach.. I have thought about what you said and whilst it can be taken as a given I is no ladyboi I do happen to like the ladies so maybe Im getting some honorary bout of manflu!?!

Maybe I am a lady who has somehow caught manflu!! I was proper poorly with nongenderspecificflu yesterday - was even running a fever and it stopped me from having a sherbet or two!! *gasp*.. Its ok boys I will always remember that your suffering and pain is always above and beyond what any of us ladies could feel ;-) @Luvpeckham - your post made me laugh out loud in between cougs even through the haze of my ladyflu.. Signing off Never as sick as boys with manflu strawbs ;-)

Morning all Sorry we didnt make it last night, my lady flu got worse as the day progressed and by 830 I was in a feverish coma on the sofa so in no shape to go be going anywhere.. roll on curry club..

I think unfortunately manflu may be mutating in to ladyflu as Ive woken up this morning oh so poorly.. I wish you manfluers could keep your germs to yourselves!! ;-) *whispers* its an epidemic.. *runs out before the boys start throwing stones cause she is a lady*

Im listening to the Foo Fighters at the moment (their most recent album).. I didnt think I would love it as much as I do but its the perfect balance between heavy and balled..

Thanks Paps for the number, have made the call!! (tu)

With my hair tied back apparently my face takes the shape of a strawberry so my DW calls me strawbs and there you have it really.. Oh and apparently for authenticity my freckles are the little pips..

I am in Ferris Road and post of ours seems to be going missing lately.. That we know so far of a wedding invite and 2 letters from Kings hospital so fairly important stuff in my life... I would hope its not due to people just not delivering my stuff! guess I'll be calling the post office..

Not quite the theatre but went and saw Michael McIntyre at hammersmith apollo the other night and it was seat wetting funny - totally get along to see one of his gigs if you can!

I like the sound of both!! I love a xmas drink so its an excuse to have two so Im there! x

Jaws and I will be popping in for an hour for a drink or two.. x

Wallbies vs the All Blacks - Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi!! Will be donning my wallbies scarf for this one!

I think you've answered your own question and possibly ED just isnt the place for you so good luck and go forth and find the right place to live, hopefully its just not near Barry Road!!

Telemsgram - if you find somewhere that's showing the game please let me know!!

CA I moved in to the area in June and I absolutely love it.. Great transport, great forum (where I have met lots of peeps), lots of good pubs, bars and restaurants - hopefully you will love it too! When you get in then come along to one of the forum drinks.. Welcome!

peckham rye peckham rye peckham rye peckham rye.. You will still see us! I saw you last night and it was me getting off at Peckham rye.. Now back to more important things - NYE at the Rye!!! :)-D

the credit crunch / recession - now that we only have one income coming in that is starting to p*ss me off.. People with luggage when commuting, I know I has to be done but its the inconsiderate ones that always seem to be in your way, let their bag drag 2 miles behind them and then have a go at you when you accidently know their bag when trying to get around them..
