  • You perhaps have forgotten. Reread your postings, in particular those posted in the early hours. If they were not drunken rantings, then I apologise for having misread them. They were, for whatever reason, unpleasant.

  • I know, but this is worth keeping, and people will desert it if it descends into a puerile slanging match. It's a shame if it is destroyed, I wouldn't want to see that. Doug

  • JulieShrive Can I suggest that you reread your message, and perhaps make it clearer? I'm quite sure you have a good point; but you didn't really make it. All the best.
  • Grately? I used to have the facility to have an open fire; but no more. Is that what you meant?

  • 9th October is good. Can we make it 7.00 rather than 8.00?
  • Being awakened by bagpipes must be unpleasant. I am usually awakened by the irritating Nokia wake up call. I think all these reveille calls are meant to be irritating, it's the nature of the beast. Happy Birthday anyhow Miss Annie

  • I was just wondering Taff, why you identified your scamster as Romanian or Turkish? It made it no easier to identify the scamster, and unless you heard them speaking an identifiable language, there would be no reason to pick those particular nationa…
  • Well maybe it is, and I can see that, hence the comment. I still need someone to tell me the further point of it all though. Should have turned up at The Old Dairy.
  • I put in the homework and read the damn thing but unfortunately I missed the meet this evening. I was hoping to come as I would like someone to explain the point of the book to me. It could be that I am missing some subtext, but having read this and…
  • Skewering the Gallic( French in this case) dragon in fact. The Welsh one would have been much tinier. The other badge we viewed at the V & A, which was similar in some respects, had been produced by the Anti-Gallicean League, a contemporary, …
  • Yes, we spotted this when viewing it, and indeed the V & A lady tried to give it a twist - not too hard obviously. Another mystery to be debated.
  • Glad to have come up to 95% of your expectations. That's more than I usually manage. 100% to you
  • Hi, i live nearby and wanted to know who i should contact about setting up a stall. any ideas? Thanks
  • What channel number on Freeview?

  • £40/50 an hour sounds a bit steep. I'm sure Neil on 02076864552 could fit you a very nice lttle catflap, and I suspect the price would be more to your liking too.
  • Arsenal will be playing Burnley in the FA Cup at that time and should be on the big screens in the Larrik. This may make quiet discussion about matters of local import (football aside) a little difficult. Good luck though! I will be rooting for B…
  • Can we get back to the original point? Which was that Virgin Media, delivering through cable, not ADSL; are claiming that subscribers in this area are receiving 10mb, while in fact most of us are getting only 4mb. So let's get on the phone lines and…
  • Ali, I'm not sure that explains it, as asynchronous means at different times. Also, as I understand it ADSL is what come out of your phone line and Virgin Media is cable. My original point was that Virgin are claiming that all those in this area …
  • If you look at the (rather handy for once) Google ads on the left, the first one works well, and is fast and free, no software to download either
  • £11.40 for pizza on delivery menu, includes free delivery £7.00 for take away. Billed as Crouch End branch yet is in N4 Trading Standards?

  • And a capital 'L' would have been nice, but otherwise I'm warming to it and it now adorns my mobile phone. I've gone for the blue version, being a boy; but others might prefer the other colour combos available. Athens 2004 was shite anyway.

  • All Threshers wines and champagnes are currently on Buy Two, Get One Free, which amounts to 33% discount already and is excluded in the voucher, but a further 7% is still worth the ink.
  • I followed up your query; thus: 'Born to Samuel Smith and Elizabeth Davis on 6th July 1962, in the Gorbals, Glasgow, Gordon is the proverbial seventh son of a seventh son, he has 3 sisters (one of whom died before he was born) and 3 brothers. Gor…
  • I could have done that for stroudgreen.net - if asked. Too late now.
  • That's nice of you to say so.
  • I can pick (some) stuff up with my feet. Which are attached to my legs!! QED
  • An arm will end in a hand, which in turn may contain a spoon. Feet rarely do this. I think this lets bears in. Chimps and other primates obviously prequalify. Pretty clear, I would have thought.
  • 'Nightmare' Er - I meant us. Joke, d'you see?

  • Former Stroud Green Station, now the railway bridge carrying the Parkland Walk, that's got to be the centre of SG. On the Camden Road is the road going to Camden argument, where do we stand on Florence Road? Or Lancaster Road for that matter? The…
  • If you compare me to the traitor Sol again, I'll be off to the south coast.
