3 out of 4 tubes of industrial silicone sealant went overnight. No idea why him indoors had 4 tubes of the stuff in the first place, and a bit baffled and somewhat disappointed that whoever took them only wanted 3 not all 4.
Nobody seems to be i…
Ringos! How could I have forgotten about Ringos??
It has never occurred to me to shove the whole bag of wotsists in at once. What lovely, piggy idea. That's my tea sorted then.
Back to the point.
Woody's scraggy sheep could sit in the ironic corner.
You could also have a gallery of us lot, guessing what we look like (those you've not met) based on random comments here.
Or if not a gallery, then just faces and …
Oh no! I have to work tonight, otherwise I'd have been the first inthe queue.
If anyone goes and it's any good, perhaps we could consider persuading John Hinshelwood to do another exclusively for SG.orgers?
Really? We had about 8 different groups knocking at ours. Not that I anwered, I was nursing a terrible hang over. Plus, him indoors did not approve of me handing out satsumas last year. He reckons that's asking for a poo to be posted through the…
Be careful Sincers if you do decide to go back and strip off in Dans le Noir. Someone in our party shoved thier dessert covered finger up the bum of one of the fellas who had whipped his clothes off.
We worked out afterwards that they must have …
The food at Dans le Noir is terrible! You pay for the 'experience'.
I went to the one in Berlin first, about 3 years ago. There was lots of misbehaviour. Think nakedness and food flinging. Very juvenile.
The food was slightly better 'thoug…
I was just about the recommend the Master Cobbler on Highbury Barn too!
I used to work 2 minutes away and was in there every other week during the winter. Jimmy would often do minor repairs for me for nowt and every third reheeling or so they wo…
@ Andy - really? Even if the details are for real, rather than libellous scandal?
My friend djs at the fetish club in question. I trust her (and Miss Annie's) word!
@ Miss Annie - I am most curious how a (presumably) wholesome face-painter, …
Oh dear. This is getting unnecessarily complicated! Sorry Val/Misscara.
So, I can collect this Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday eveinging this week. Or pretty much anytime from next Monday. That is if you are still willing to surrender them Val? I…
Me too! But alas I shall be away on 25th too. Could you be pewrsuaded to open tomorrow? (I know, an ambitious request given that it's 2.45pm on Friday)...
I've got a team of builders/plasterers/plumbers/tilers etc in at the moment. I'd recommend them, if you are interested? They should be finished our place next week.
Hi Temeraire,
My sister-in-law works at Coldfall in Muswell Hill. Shall I ask her if they'd be willing to offer you a bit of work experience?
When I did my (secondary) teacher training we were obliged to find a 2 week placement at a primary s…
Nigel Slater is always sniffing around Godfreys and the Fromagerie across the road (he lives a spit awya). Mr Oliver has been known to dribble around there too. Once saw Lofty from Eastenders there too.
Sounding like the top celebrity spot thre…
Oh, am I too late? I've been out of the loop for a week or so.
Val, I could collect Saturday or Sunday please?
However, if Misscara has claimed them, that's fine. My fault for asking a favour then not checking on responses!
I'm sure there is one just past the Old Dairy, and just before Mare e Monti. Or there used to be at least (when I lived on Shaftesbury Road 6 years ago, it was the closest).
Oh God. Have I really become an obvious recruit for the WI?
If I told them that I got kicked out of the Guides for smoking Rothmans and drinking Strongbow in the toilets, would they regect or embrace me?
@ Ali - I've never found (but haven't really looked for) wax discs, I just use a piece of grease proof paper and hope for the best!
@ Misscara, after all that I'll certainly pass on any spare jars. I'm not feeling hopeful 'though.
Italian fig jam. Good with brioche or toast or with cheese and crusty bread. (according to Waitrose)
1.5kg Figs
750g Jam sugar (with pectin)
Look over the figs and discard any that look at all mouldy.
Cut off the stems and place them in…
Thanks Miss Annie.
Wee Jimmy Krankie was neither normal nor a clown and s/he didn't scare off too many kiddies. Mind you, it was the very early eighties. (And I'm still facinated by the totally wrong incarnation of a school boy. What possessed…
