peckhamrose: it's one of those thingamas that goes around yr neck and holds an ID or backstage pass Thanks ???? that's the sort of answer I was hoping to hear

hope that's not meant seriously, i'm not trying to fear monger or anything here, just concerned and probably letting my imagination get ahead of me. there was a twarted theft burglary attemp on my road (near the Ivy House in Nunhead) just the other week and i'm a bit paranoid at the moment as a result besides, all those bad kids will be down by the posh houses near goose green what would they want with nunhead?

why does this always happen to me? maybe i should hire James Bond to hang out in rose bushes and keep watch for the various criminal masterminds of SE London

Yesterday evening around 6:45 a young man in a suit with a SkyTV lanyard round his neck knocked on my door and said he was doing a survey for the council to check and make sure that everyone was hooked up with digital access etc etc, he mentioned he'd been by a couple times earlier in the day but no one was home which i thought was a bit fishy but mostly stuck to the questions on his sheet and then tried sort of half heartedly to sell me Sky Broadband. Just wondering if anyone else has had similar visits as i am now feeling paranoid and certain that my house has been cased by a mastermind criminal who used the council as his cover (that lanyard does lend an air of respectability after all, Sky wouldn't hire anyone shady!) Help reassure me so i'm not spazzing out all day while I imagine my poor house in a burgled state all day from work.

i just saw this flying under the bridge the other day and had no idea what it was, it was so beautiful it stopped me midsentence, good to put a name to the colour

hooray! i've been having cravings for the bun noodles with chili beef and now they will be much much easier to fulfill. can't wait to hear that you've opened up Kat

as an expat american i can verify tha we do actually think we are superior to evereyone else. It's true, why bother lying about it anymore. we actually have secret meetings with special handshakes and everything! all you non-americans are totally missing out. we also completely support everything george w bush does and says, that's why he got 100% of the vote in both the last elections and we wait eagerly for starbucks to complete their world domination and bring their special blends of coffee and coffee related beverages to every corner of the world! it's all part of our evil plan. really, no joke. all that said, i would LOVE to see another independent shop that does proper coffee around here, you can never have too much. especially if they have tasty cakes and pastries as well (to help me keep my american girth)
