Ive got the Glastonbury blues. Couldn't get tickets this year, boo!

Probably wouldn't have addressed her as big sandy though! It's just her best mates called sandy too!

Pretty sure I just saw big Sandy from Brixton say on a bench on croydon high street. She's my favourite. Damn my shyness, I wanted a chat and a selfie!

I'm drinking Porto dry white with tonic, lime and fresh mint courtesy of a very nice lady that gave my girlfriend a bottle as a gift as she left the project they were working on. Never had it before but it is tasty gorgeous! She's Portuguese, apparently its very popular drink in Portugal.

Yeah it doesn't make sense.

The owner of a car thing is plausible. About the council saying it wasn't them though... I have a mate who was getting an extension to the back / side of his house and a week before the work was due to start the neighbours had a load of scaffolding put up, which was a problem for his builders. He asked his neighbours and they said it was put there and arranged by the council because their house (the neighbours) was council owned and needed repointing. Problem was when he phoned the council to find out how long it would be there they said they had no record of the job. The point of this story is although the council arranged a job, they couldn't confirm it because at the time of contacting them this information was lost in the system. So even if the council deny it, it may possibly still be them, although looking at the photos probably not as they would surely not just left all the branches on the roadside.

Not to mention the temptation to eat kebabs or fried chicken every day!

Cheers Jeremy, I was definitely not critisizing others, just saying what I remember happening, whilst giving myself a little pat on the back!

Sorry Fatherjack and any others who helped out, I'm not trying to sound like a hero here, just glad I could help. I didn't know about gas supply, so now I know more detail it looks like whoever cut the gas is the real hero. I was very impressed by the fire brigade. Very quick to attend. Glad everyone is OK.

Thanks PeckhamRose! I think they would have been fine given the speedy response from the fire brigade. Other people were helping out, checking the fire escape etc and staff around the back of the chicken shop to making sure everyone got out safely, then I suddenly thought about the people upstairs. They had no idea that directly below their flat was a fire getting bigger by the minute! Felt like a good deed done. Edit - just to say it all happened so quickly and I'm sure someone else would have warned the family upstairs if I hadn't! Everyone that helped did a good thing, especially the guy that cut off the gas supply! I think he or she was the real hero.

We were just walking past and saw a fairly small chip pan fire and the bloke inside attempting to put it out with a fire extinguisher. After no time at all flames high enough to touch the ceiling! My girlfriend called the fire brigade, while I warned the family living upstairs and made sure they got out safely. Whilst this was going on some people were helping to evacuate the staff and cut off the gas supply. I can't believe how quickly it all happened. Family looked a bit shocked but thanks to a speedy response from fire brigade I think all is ok now!

Maxim chicken opposite cherry tree - fire brigade just turned up

Ha ha! Yeah they rang all night!!

Sorry to gate crash but I'm on a night bus back from seeing Leftfield and they were AMAZING!!

Oh yeah my mistake its third person.

I saw the thread about kitchen knives and it reminded me... Does anyone know how to dispose of those blue camping butane cannisters? I've got one that still has some gas in it but I think the connector at the top is bent as it doesn't fit onto the stove bit anymore... Cheers

Last Of Us is a first person survival game. The story is a bit like 28 days later in some ways. You are trying to transport a girl across the city to a group of people called the Fireflies. Basically read this article and it pretty much tells you what it's all about. http://www.esquire.co.uk/gear/gadgets/4136/the-last-of-us-the-only-video-game-you-need-to-buy-in-2013/ The best thing about this game is the story and the emotional content. It's really well written. Naughty Dog have always been good at these types of games, but The Last Of Us is their masterpiece. (In my opinion) Enjoy!

Depends what style of game you're into, I also liked Max Payme 3, there's a really good level where you fight your way through the favela's in Brazil.

Admin why don't you ask Louisa if she's ready to come off the naughty step? Do you know why you put in the lounge? Are you going to behave?

The Last Of Us. I love that game.

Just looked at YouTube video for one of those chimney starters and they look amazing, I'm getting one. Why have I never heard of this before?

Very moving, thanks for sharing.

We had mice problems once and it sucked. Every night they would scratch the ceiling above our bed. I think they were making a nest in the loft insulation. I haven't read through all the posts so apologies if it's already been said, but if you can find areas where they get in you can try to block it withs wire wool. Apparently they can't scratch through wire wool. Problem is though they can fit through a hole the size of the thickness of a pencil! Good luck

?5.40? For Peroni? That's ridiculous... I occasionally pop in there to catch the last bit of sun on the way home from work. I think Estrella might be cheaper. Edit - popped in today, don't do Estrella, got Pilsner urquel, ?5...
