duh, of course I get why rimworld is funny, but I'm not about to give an explicit explanation to prove it. I found african prices funny for other reasons - seems pretty outrageous as a name for a shop, no?

A couple of years ago an African bar/restaurant opened on Peckham High Road called "The Golden Stool", although not for long as the name was soon changed.


The name was actually a translation of the Asante Sika 'dwa, the sacred Royal Throne of the legendary King Osei Tutu of the Gold Coast Empire of Ashanti.

It wasn't a pill, it was a toffee.


Came in boxes at vast expense.


Very very sweet. Supposed to chew one before a meal and it stopped you wanting to eat.


Early seventies. Ish.

    • This happened to my car one Sunday morning, some years ago'; it was a gang of kids going around having fun, They've probably grown up now and been working out! 
    • I think probably the OP is still on the old non metered system if they haven't actually signed up to the meter which was installed? If so,  the amount of water used won't affect their bill. As posted above, water bills in this area have gone up/will go up (not sure which) by more than 30%, so that would be a big increase regardless of a meter, if I've understood it correctly. I think we are paying for the privatisation of Thames Water and their greed and inefficiency, basically, but what would I know? 
    • Please could people look out for Bubble, our mainly black, and white, cat, who is a total homebody but hasn’t been seen all day. We’re on the mini roundabout of Rosendale/Turney and Dalkeith roads, if you could please check any sheds etc we’d be really grateful. He’s 12 now and a bit deaf so may have got injured or disorientated. Any news please call Claudia on 07776 303 418, thank you.
    • There are 2 of us in our house. A few weeks after we had a water meter installed and before we received our first bill, TW told us that we should be paying £70 per month to ensure we did not go into arrears. We refused to change our DD and carried on paying £40 per month.  When we eventually received our first metered bill, our usage was only about £25 per month and we were, in fact well in credit!  Also, only receiving a bill every 6 months is not very helpful, as we find it very difficult to keep tabs on what we are spending.
