It may not be intentional. It was a common schoolboy prank of ours to dye the water in the school fountain various colours. Gentian violet was good for purple.

Why Oh Why in any petrol station can I not find a cold drink which is actually COLD ?

The drinks are installed in a 'fridge' labelled 'cold drinks' but they are positively UNcold to my touch.

If I question the 'coldness' of drinks, however politely, it's taken as some kind of insult or the staff act like the drinks really are cold but it's only me that doesn't realise.

Emperor's new clothes or something like that...

When your pudding doesn't come, even though you've asked twice. So you leave, wondering what that cheesecake would have tasted like. The wife doesn't understand, but then, her pudding came, so why would she?

Ah, but when your pudding doesn't come but they still try to charge you for it...grrrrrrr!!


And, of course, the only place for electric blue water is the toilet, courtesy of that nice Mr Duck or Mr Harpic.

I was actually hoping they would, so I'd have the excuse to have a hissy fit, but alas they just claimed I'd never ordered it.

I think ring pulls are outside of Christ?s remit. He?s more for water-into wine, fish sandwiches and leprosy that sort of stuff.

not noticing any aircraft noise (after 6 months of living in ED).


reading all about it on here.


then noticing LOTS of aircraft noise in ED.


wondering if they have recently changed their flight path to specially fly over my bedroom window at 5am (6)


aren't they supposed to fly in a certain way that minimises noise? i read that somewhere so it must be true.


bring back the lovely noisy garden birds please.....

Agreed Jeremy, but I think that day there was some big exhibition going on at Excel, so more people heading towards Canning Town for the DLR.


I may try staying on the overground til Shadwell and getting DLR from there, although I think it'll take a bit longer.

That this is even a topic for discussion: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/8730106.stm



A man should always offer a lady his seat regardless of whether she is pregnant or not. Likewise men should stand aside for women to get onto the bus or train.


Where I grew up this was just normal practice but after moving to London 9 years ago I soon learned that the much touted term, English Gentleman is one of this world?s biggest misnomers.


As if there isn?t enough in this fucking world to make me fucking angry.


Arseholes.

People getting off the front of the bus pisses me off. We have a system that has worked well for scores of years, but some people just want to be different. If you have a very bulky item with you and it makes sense to hang around the front to keep it safe, then fair enough, getting off at the front is reasonable, but otherwise....Grrrr!

Yeah, and then be accused of being a patronising Chauvinist pig.

      Such a shame the Odeon and bowling at Surrey Quays has gone

      By Rockets · Posted

      Went to book a film to find Surrey Quays Odeon is no more. Such a shame, I didn't realise everything was being  shut there. Used to love a bit of bowling at the Hollywood Bowl too. https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/rotherhithe/surrey-quays-odeon-cinema-confirms-august-closure-date/

      Nunhead Art Trail information

      By Sue · Posted

      Thanks for the link! I should have thought to add that. If you click on "artists" in the menu, there is information about the artists, but it's very difficult to relate it to the map when you can't print off the map (at least I haven't been able to, but I've only tried from my phone so far).

      Do you mean the small charity shop on Lordship Lane just before you get to the roundabout? Near the pharmacist? Can't remember what it's called. The Mind Shop is the one on the corner after  you have crossed  the road to go to the station, and I'm pretty sure the jeweller/watch repairer wasn't there - it was actually on Lordship Lane, at the roundabout end though. Crikey, I had forgotten about the video shop. The stationers was a strange place, but they sold art stuff as well which was sometimes useful. Then some time later there was that large place - ED Deli? - next to the EDT, which had very yummy Florentines, but seemed to go into a gradual decline until it eventually closed. If it had opened a bit later it might have survived, but probably gentrification wasn't sufficiently advanced at that point. Platform 1 was for a series of pop up restaurants, wasn't it? Or at least, a restaurant with a series of pop up chefs. I don't recall it ever being a cocktail bar? And they were originally going to call it a very rude name ( which sadly I can't remember,  but I think it may have been Pussy Liquor  - I don't think they were cat owners) and there was a whole thread on here where various people pointed out that it wasn't a very appropriate name, so they changed it 🤣🤣🤣 I think someone must have thought it was hilarious because I think Meat Liquor had just opened down the road ...  For a short time there was a very good South Indian vegetarian restaurant, but hardly anybody went to it, and sadly it closed. Again, it might have survived now, it was probably a bit too early in the gentrification process.
