Touching, needy and at the same time sinister. Fine work from MP.

Some fine work from RosieH. I'll be expecting a cheque for the cleaning of my T-shirt, which now has a fine mist of red wine spilt on it.


really, you mean it wasn't real?


man, do I feel stoopid - taken for a ride or what - that pound was not merited, I was robbed!


eater81, any chance you work for a university researching "does headbanging give you a headache" or "men with tiny penises drive flash cars"?

Innocent mistakes are easily made.


I went to one of the Chinese takeaways here in SE22 not long back. I didn't have my contact lenses in, so (in order to read the menu on the wall) I pulled the 'emergency short-sighted manouver' where you pull your eyes back at the corners into a squint so you can gain a bit of extra vision.


Oh how we laughed.



Can just imagine this in some old sketch show like Benny Hill or something.

From the topic of roadworks on LL......

Can someone tell me what a 'decent' person is? As opposed to, say, an indecent person?


Posted by: Pierre 28 August, 2008 10:47

A "decent" person is "us".

An "indecent" person is "them".

Here's 'an indecent person'...

Anything to declare, Sir?

giggirl (who I'm developing a bit of a girlie crush on today) on the subject of shopping...


Shopping - I need a pair of jeans. Make an appointment with the jeans specialist shopper at Selfridges. Spend a week fretting about the size of my thighs. Cancel appointment. Spend a week fretting about how silly I'm being. Make a new appointment. Cancel it again. Spend a week considering liposuction. Wear my old jeans with a long cardigan and a high boots and congratulate myself on my pragmatism. Have a glass of Sauvignon blanc.

Mr Wolf, I discussed you with my neighbour last night, a psychiatrist. He informs me that I was wrong to say that you should get out more, and I apologise.


Apparently you should seek medication and a referral from your GP, and stay home, it really is for the best...



Lovin' your work darling. Sorry, I mean sis ;-)

Brendan really made me laugh today with these:



They?re dangerous I tell you. Just the other day I was in a rush to get out the house and put my hoodie on backwards. Being inexplicably blinded I tripped down the stairs and accidentally mugged 2 pensioners.In fact removing certain items of clothing [sic] normally gets you thrown out of places in my experience.


I blame yuppies trying to organic everything with their global warming.

The First Day


On the first day a wonder came upon the people of East Dulwich, because the weather forecast was correct. And snow did fall from the sky, and covered the ground more thickly than any could remember. And it did cover the roads and the railways, it covered the houses and the gardens and it covered the parks and the open spaces. And there were no trains and no buses, for all the land was full of snow. And the people of East Dulwich rejoiced saying Yay! Let?s go and play in the snow, for we cannot get to work and our children cannot go to school. And the Wise Woman did rebuke the people saying Alas, we shall all lose billions for lo the economy is in great tribulation. And the people did lob snowballs at her for they did not care. And the people did play in the parks and in the gardens with their children and their dogs and there was much gladness in their hearts. And a woman like a fair red fruit did say Come! Rejoice and be merry for tomorrow you may work but today you must live. And the people did flock to the Bishop and there they recognised one another with the Signs of the Forum and did consume much of the wine that is red and did fall down in drunkenness. And the shopkeepers and the publicans of East Dulwich did rub together their hands and say I?m making a mint here. And the people did come together in joy and did address themselves to strangers even as brothers and they did build great monuments in the ice and the snow. The evening came and the stars arose into the cold sky, and the people slept.


The Second Day


The second day came, and lo a great change came over the people, for they remembered how much work they had to do and wished only to surrender their souls even unto the Man. But the children of East Dulwich cried out and wished only to play in the snow again. But the mothers and the fathers did say Nay, ye must to school and be lifted out of the darkness of your ignorance, what am I paying my taxes for. And the schools did say only Ye have reached The Great School of East Dulwich. We value your custom. Unfortunately there is no-one here to take your call. Please leave a message and we will ring you back. And the mothers and the fathers did grind their teeth and somehow work something out. And still there were no trains for the Chief Elder of the Transport did say only ?We did our best?. But the people did pile onto the buses and were transported even unto their offices and places of business and all did grumble loudly, saying Yesterday was understandable, but pull your bloody finger out. And the bus drivers did say Ye are the ungrateful sons and graceless daughters of swine, we drove the buses through the ice and did not fail. And the people did say grudgingly Yes, that?s true, nice one. And the Meeja did beat their breasts and they cried Alack! for the economy is sore ailing and we are all doomed. But the people heeded the Meeja not and they said Today we have returned to the service of the Man but ever we will remember the joy of yesterday and we regret it not.


The evening came, and the stars wheeled in the sky and the people were angered for still were there no trains and did say This is the outside of enough.


The Third Day


The third day came, and the people boarded their trains as usual and among them the sons of the Palaeologi. And at the station was a lone man of the Counsellors scraping away the ice with a spoon and the sons of the Palaeologi did shake their heads and say Wherefore could they not give him some decent equipment. But the people went to the Counsellors and did lift up their hands crying Why are there no gritters on the roads and pavements? For I have fallen on my arse and am sorely tried. And the learned sons and daughters of the hospitals did say It?s not funny, we?ve been treating people for falls all day. And the Counsellors did say, We?re getting to it, but the wrath of the people was not appeased and they did say Tch under their breaths.


The Fourth Day


And on the fourth day yet more snow was forecast...


Very funny post from Moos here, the 'We're getting to it, but the wrath of the people was not appeased and they did say Tch under their breaths' line is a good 'un amongst many other good 'uns.

Well at least 6 days... on the 7th day, even God rested!


It was an amazing post, Moos. I haven't laughed that loud for that long in ages - brilliant!

Am duly swanking extensively, smirking, pirouetting, swaggering* and generally looking down on all mortals.


*unfortunately doing all these simultaneously seems to have led to left foot getting tangled with right ear, and arriving upon ground unexpectedly with a large thump. Thus the gods punish hubris.

    • There is a large amount fresh veg available in the green book cage outside the copleston church,sprouts,spring onions,potatoes,parsnips and bread rolls,pop down shame to see it get wasted          
    • On the original topic - there was more of this on Whateley Road today. Same place but the other side of the road. Could be the same dogwalker as for the other nearby roads?   I don't have a dog - but would have thought it's hard for owners not to notice when a dog is doing it in the middle of a pavement? 
    • Thought I’d take a trip down to Rye Lane this morning to visit the charity shops etc. I usually park in the Morrisons car park and buy stuff there and then the nearby shops. I know there are a few shops near the Aylesham centre that are having to close (Boots the chemist was a shoplifters favourite over the years) but I was shocked to see the extent of shop closures, graffiti, overall decline in the area.  Sometimes I get the bus and wanted to visit the Crises charity shop but it didn’t open until 10.30am and it had a coffee place inside. They have a shop in Rye Lane but are missing out on early rising customers. Walking down towards Santendar and the Primark store was very empty.Just hope that isn’t due for closure. The security guards are very nonchalant. The Scope charity shop has a prime position but doesn’t promote the shop Greggs have done away with their self service due to the number of thefts of food items.  The Poundland was quite empty too but I visit this one as they have stock since the Camberwell one closed down.         
    • Maybe I'm behind the times, but in the old days if you went to a pub for charity fundraiser you'd have a quiz or karaoke and you'd be chipping in for a new scanner at your local hospital or maybe sending some poor kiddie for some cancer treatment abroad. Nowadays you can roll down to the Old Nun's head in Nunhead and tip your money into a bucket for some sad young woman to go a private surgeon and have her breasts sliced off -  as if that was going to be some kind of life-saving treatment!  Not only that, she's publicising her Valentine's crowdfunder with a funny ha ha (not) cartoon of a girl (see pic) with a hypodermic in her bum and calling it 'Valen-Tits-off'. Jesus wept. Whatever happened to hearts and flowers? It's so unbelievably sick. I'm a woman, I've pretty much still got all the woman-bits intact. Periods and puberty weren't much fun, I was bullied at school, wondered about my sexuality and boys and spots and the rest of it, got called a lezzer by the class cow, but I got through it. And I would no more think that cutting bits off a girl was the solution to her misery than I would put my teenage daughter on a diet if she was diagnosed with anorexia. I can't be the only person who finds the pub - and its publicity material - very VERY offensive?
