He was a tall chap Sally. Full head of grey hair, slim and was camped at the bar. We just struck up a conversation whilst I was waiting to be served and he mentioned how great the night before was (No tittering at the back thank you :wink: ). According to this chap Errol Linton had been at a club on...

As a white-male I'd like to state that I find the liberal, almost flagrant, use of the term honky-tonk deeply offensive and incredibly hurtful. I notice the casual acceptance of this slur proliferates most widely in what may be termed as 'musical circles'. Should I hear this term used once more on t...

Another cinema plan with parking under the skin of a faux Crystal Palace. I'd imagine Paxton will be turning in his grave. For a start someone should advise Ray Hall (does he own nightclubs on the side?) that the Crystal Palace was at Sydenham. Crystal Palace as a place does not exist (save for an i...

Bromley could give us one of their two especially as they're only 0.41 miles apart! Greedy lot Not quite sure where you get that from - the two Bromley stores are about 1 mile as the crow flies, 1.8 by road, or about an hour by car... Paws off! ;) I got it from the Waitrose site. Plumbing in SE26 g...

Loved Lambchops mock-up photo of Greg! I think the question we should be asking is whether Lambchops is a genius or a madman?! For the very reason he gave me a generous 9.3 I'm answering genius! I'm meeting him tomorrow night so I'll let you know if my opinion changes after the event Thomas. :wink:

I bet you just have to get the last word in in real life also natbeuk? Well so do I. :D This thread could go on for ever so you can (if you like) ping something back and you'll have had the last word. Or not, if I've gotten you wrong :wink: I concede and do honestly respect your request. It's just a...

I disgaree. Whilst I agree that there are some oddballs out there there seems to be this irriational fear of the 'big bad internet'. People seem to be petrified when confronted with an internet forum and think that they need to be as covert as possible to protect themselves. At the same time they th...

Home to many a z-lister you mean. I know Camden Market is quite popular as it's 'raw'. Isn't it just the greatest fun stepping over the hordes of crackheads strewn carelessly about the gutter on one's way to the bar? This is real London guys! "Mind that needle Lottie" "No really my go...

Re: Sainsburys still not up to scratch

Does anyone feel that despite the extensive refurbishment of our Sainsburys, it is still not up to scratch? We are in there regularly, and I don;t think I have ever been in at a time when the shelves are properly stocked, it always looks like it has just been ransacked! Has anyone ever seen anyone ...

Given that they're plonked one in the godforsaken part of town known as the Holloway Road in Norf' Laaandddan I doubt that very much. Perhaps the Camden and Hackney gangs are par...

One year I even had a yoof come round about 3 days early - he said he couldn't make the 31st! :roll: In years gone by (not here in Sydders) the little darlings used to get driven about by their caring parents.

Aye, the queue is long but distinguished.

Perhaps the moniker ought to be Gorgeous Gregory?

Mind, the thrust of the post was why someone would call themselves YummyMummy? Is it self-depreciating or is it valid.

Long time no hear stone-penge?

YummyMummy

Now, whilst this thread may be the most mysoginist post of all time, one got to thinking how yummy is yummymummy? Does one mean Christa D'Souza 1661 from The Sunday Times type yummymummy or south London's Barnes/Greeenwich/Blackheath/Richmond/Kew/Dulwich/Clapham's best version? More importantly Yumm...
