Thnks for that EDOldie.

However I'm going to have have to balk at Joseph Heller's diagnosis on the grounds that the book was good, the film was shit and I hated Good As Gold.

I demand a second opinion from John Kennedy Toole.


Oh. Yes, all right then, his estate.

When I get my hands on the germ spreader I WILL strangle 'em. After I've fully recovered from this man type flu thing. AND if old ppl or pregnant women think I'm going to give up my seat for them on the bus this morn just try it! My pain is too much I tell ya! :-(

Well I rather not give the name, but it was a good one. Approved it was.

Best of luck cdonline, I have been feeling the effects of my smoking recently, usually after heavy weekends. I know I should stop, I know it's a stupid habit, but I just don't really want to :-S


Today I just feel very Fridayish, meaning I'm sat at work, watching the clock...

It will be hard to say goodbye to the glamour of lighting up. The kids need role models like us, counteracting the prissy overbearing non smokers.


If I do give up and have any cigarettes left, I will, of course, be charitable and hand them out to the kiddies in the park. Pay it forward.

    • As I may have said before those that knew him  at DC who I have met sat similar, but not sure if they are quoting the above contacts or first hand experience.  And of course that he has changed the pronunciation of his surname
    • A detailed account of Nigel Farage's alleged racist and neofascist behaviour while he attended Dulwich College appears in the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/politics/ng-interactive/2025/nov/18/deeply-shocking-nigel-farage-faces-fresh-claims-of-racism-and-antisemitism-at-school Obviously for most the relevant question is if these allegations are true, then is Farage a suitable person for public office? But for Dulwich local yokels (and tbh anyone that's already formed a firm opinion about Farage), the more interesting question might be whether Dulwich College incubated and tolerated pupils' racist and bigoted behaviour at the time? After all, the allegations include that NF and a number of other boys sang songs about gassing Jews and engaged in other bigoted behaviour, that teachers were either present or aware of that behaviour, and that nothing was done. It's remarkable that pieces of the reporting abour 40 years ago mirror some of the allegations about Dulwich College's reaction to some pupils' alleged sexist and predatory behaviour 4 years ago. Minimisation, dismissal, wilful blindness... https://www.thetimes.com/uk/crime/article/i-warned-head-of-dulwich-college-about-abusive-boys-five-years-ago-xkxgjftk8 https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/mar/26/dulwich-college-head-warns-pupils-over-culture-protest
    • Hi, we've got a random cat at tonight's game. Anyone own it? 
    • Saied (Dulwich Eco Gardening) said he’d give us our garden back and he did. He cleared the overgrown front and back. It was bigger than we remember.    He doesn’t do hard landscaping on the scale we needed but recommended someone (Kris 07938 204480). He flagged and fenced it.    Once we decide what plants/pots we want we’ll have Saied back to do that. Can’t wait for next spring to use the garden.
