Daizie, please take note...

My front bush/hedge is neat and tidy thanks to the hedge trimmer i bought last year and is not interfering with passers by

( at the moment)

[Jah Lush]

But does it match the curtains Daizie?

There is a 'waxing' thread in the family section that addresses this problem.

Posters who announce that they think a thread should stop..........just because they do.

Things marked as 'free' in the title of the for sale section but then ask for a bottle of wine or something else. No idea why it bothers me so much because it really isn't important.

someone hacked down the bush on CP road. Half a job but you only have to swerve slightly to get round.

Pretty confident it was the power of the EDF

[KidKruger]

whereabouts is the bush on CP road sticking out ?

[paragon]

just before the building works going on near the East Dulwich road end

[OliviaDee]

yip. we have affected the outside world - the bush is chopped - couldn't believe it. So, now for a new moan.

tissues in the dark wash.

can the EDF fix that mess for me too?

[OliviaDee]

whoever's pocket i find it in is spending the night on my naughty chair.

Your favourite pub, a proper drinker (i.e. no food) closing for 3 months. Then reopening, painted white and describing itself as a ?local beer house?. What a pub??! To top it all off it now sells food including overpriced pretentious burgers served on a bloody wooden chopping board. Tossers!

[Keef]

Which pub was this?

Agree, that would suck!

[Keef]

PS. You'll probably get some responses along the lines of "so what exactly is a pretentious burger then?".

I hate when pubs suddenly become all bright, so you can actually see everyone clearly. Not what I go to the pub for!

And how many customers did the old boozer have compared to the new one?

Not that numbers alone make it any better, but it probably points to the old boozer going out of business anyway. And better a ?new? boozer than some more dodgily converted flats

The Dean Swift off Tower Bridge Road. It was great how it was, always busy and the reason everyone piled in there was because they didn?t do food. You could guarantee getting served quickly as no one was fannying around with menus and paying by card. It had great big tables you could get two or three groups around chatting now replaced with smaller ones so they can do more ?covers? I suppose. Anything served on a chopping board is going to be pretentious in my book! Oh it?s a lot quieter nowadays?food won?t last long they were hoping to get passing tourist trade?..they won?t and so far don?t.

Sales callers that hang up on you before you have finished explaining why they are wasting their time in calling... ;-)

[Jah Lush]

Err.... sales callers.

[ruffers]

When a poster starts a genuine thread to recommend someone in the ED Business Restaurants & Trades area, and a competitor jumps in and says "ooh, call me!", or alternatively another poster recommends someone else. If you like them that much start your own thread rather than ambushing someone else's.

Petty I know but hey, that's what this thread is for.

Male authors who get their female characters to describe 'panties'. No woman ever says that.
