  1. I used them to get a quote for a boiler repair...only one tradesman called me...in fact he called me every day for a week sometimes in the small hours to try and convince me he was the man for the job. I didn't use him because of his desperation and the next week he was on Rogue Traders.
  2. I did exactly that but just bought some from B&Q as my units were standard sizes. Had them delivered and I then fitted them in about 2 hours, kitchen looks pretty good now.
  3. I was looking to buy around South Norwood for exactly the same reasons as you - could get a large house for relatively little money and get to work in 15 minutes. On the way to meet the estate agent I happened to walk past the Weatherspoons pub on the high street at which point a tattooed freak ran out shouted "C*NT!" right in my face before running back in just as quickly. Now whether I am or am not is debatable but it's not what you expect to happen at 11am on a Tuesday....
  4. South Norwood is horrible, it's had great transport links for years and the property boom passed it by so I can't see it being anywhere close to nice anytime soon, some places are just too far gone.
  5. well done reeko! You managed to turn a post about a troubled individual roaming East Dulwich into an "All Coppers Are Murdering Bastards" rant...I'm surprised you didn't mention Nazis too.

    ereader

    Lots of publishers will sell you books in the kindle format but you have to go through a few extra steps to get them on your device, if you don't mind that then it's no problem, they will also handle pdfs but I'm not sure how well. Or you could just get a tablet (Nexus 7 is a comparable size) then use any number of ebook reading apps plus check emails, facebook, etc

    Scary pubs

    The Brockwell Park Tavern (now the Florence) used to be fun especially when the fair was on the park...had to hide in the ladies once as 4 gypsies went at each other with pool cues, another time some nice person decided to open a tear gas canister in there. Always guaranteed a lock in though, 4am was quite a common occurrence

  9. selling prostitutes?
  10. Interesting article on the Snowman ad: http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/business/john-lewis-boxing-day-ad-to-show-snow-wife-taking-scarf-and-hat-back-2012111949493
  11. - that's a honey fly...see, you grab it there and squeeze and get a little drink out of it...go on give it a go! (in an Australian accent) - grab it there and squeeze?.....euurgh! thats's f****ng disgusting! - oh sorry mate, my mistake...that's a shit fly
  12. I used to have a problem with foxes using my garden for a ginger scat orgy but have had no problems since installing a FoxWatch, about ?40 from Amazon (probably cheaper elsewhere). Haven't seen a single one in my garden for over 3 years now...saying that they seem to be wreaking revenge by laying eggs in the front garden instead.
  13. Singapore, Maldives, then KL
  14. I must say it always surprises me when people leave stuff in their front gardens and expect it to remain there, this is South London after all! You wouldn't leave your front door unlocked, your keys in your car, or your handbag on a table while you went to the toilet..
  15. Maybe someone should define "the area"? Clapham is well within mine....especially if I want a burger
  16. My all time favourite so far is Hache, there's one in Clapham High Street. I think they are French so you can wash it down with some Normandy cider...pisses all over GBK!
  17. Depends on what you will be cooking - if you just want to cook oven chips and Iceland pizzas then go for something cheap and shiny, on the other hand if you are the sort of person who thinks nothing of knocking up a hollandaise for your poached quail egg breakfast before work then you probably want something a bit better: I would go for one of these (in stainless steel obviously) http://www.rangecookers.co.uk/falcon-900-deluxe-product,354.aspx

    Petrol

    All the idiots were arguing and fighting in the Sainsburys petrol station in Sydenham yesterday, the irony being a big fuel tanker was stuck in the resulting queue so was prevented from delivering the fuel....f**kwits!
  19. TubeRefundPro - pays for itself if you use the tube regularly (especially the Jubilee Line), allows you to make a claim before you have finished cursing the undergound.
  20. Try Villagers in Beckenham, they are easily as good as or better than Simply Sausages (who now make just Sainsbury's Taste The Difference range) http://www.englishsausages.com/ I remember the days when Simply Sausages used to sell an Indonesian suckling pig sausage (Babi Guling I think it was called).....hmmmm, sausages...
  21. You can buy London Bars, Birmingham Bars, and all sorts of other door protection at http://www.londonbar.co.uk/contents/en-uk/d76_Door_Security.html. They don't take long to fit.
  22. fill the return envelope with any old crap you can find and post it to them, old newspapers, leaflets dropped through the door, that sort of thing, see how they like it
  23. I fail to see how making all pasengers throw away anything containing liquid over 100ml and making them buy replacements in Boots the other side of security at twice the price is preventing the plane being blown up. I'm not an expert but 100ml of an explosive liquid in a confined place like a plane is probably going to bring it down in a ball of twisted flaming metal. Of course I totally agree that we should have our shoes scanned, after all it worked out really well for the shoe-bomber.
  24. Isn?t it great to see those Chilean Miners being released Juan by Juan but to be honest I?ve gone off them. They?re too mainstream for me now, I preferred them when they were underground
  25. I have just finished bricking up all my doors and windows, better safe than sorry!
