I haven't been on here in yonks because those complete SLICES at Orange Broadband have not been able to connect me for nearly a month. I'll be leaving them on Saturday, when they will be in BREACH of contract and I can get my MAC code I'm not an especially heavy user, and I've got my own...

Chuggers? I say to them either: "Yeah sure, I'll sign up -- as long as you sign something to say you'll waive your commission" or "Sorry mate, I'm a bit too much of a cun t"

I can't BELIEVE that any MAN pays £35 for a haircut. Mine's a tenner, from the redoubtable Spurs-supporting Turkish geezer who runs Classix, Churchfield Road, London W3.

I had a brie and goosberry sandwich at work last night: a new experience. It was yum. My favourite sandwich place used to do doughnuts as well: It was called Eat @ Doughnuts and was in Carlisle with a few other branches around the north. From their website, it looks like they've changed their...

Wembley Central will get you a train to Euston that takes about half an hour. Change at Willesden Junction for Clapham Junction.

No -- it really does mean "FENCE". The jury, or the coroner on his/her own, are perfectly entitled to say that they haven't a clue how the deceased died, or that it's not very clear. Sympathetic coroners also often record open verdicts in cases of apparent suicide where life insurance, wills...

Bit of a swot, really. And I was deputy head boy of Varndean. Had a rubbish first few years (not many friends etc) but things got better in years 10 and 11. Was good at music and languages, pretty average at most other things, rubbish at art.

IVA Richards c & b K Greenfield 22 is still one of my favourite wickets of all time. Anyone else remember the occasion? And he played for St Peter's CC as a boy (like me, and Chapmans the Saviour) to boot.

I occasionally flirt with moving back to Sussex and commuting to London. Could change at Clapham Junction for Shepherd's Bush when the station opens next month. I think it'd just make me cry, though.

I've still got Keith Greenfield's! I bought it for about three pounds at a charity auction of some kind.

Against Surrey in the championship in 1993, I think. And the first-ever Sunday game in coloured clothing the following day. In which Franklyn Stephenson became the first player to score a ton in England wearing pyjamas.

It's only morally WRONG cos I never got one and I was WELL well behaved at school. You see, if he wasn't acting up in the first place, you wouldn't be THINKING about bunging him good-behaviour cash, WOULDJA? :couldhavemadeamint:

L9ierCQaJOY Only joking of course, and it's a bit of a cheap shot at our Irish chum, sorry! but I haven't laughed at anything so much in yonks... :D

I'm a journalist (not a web kind, an old-fashioned kind), and I've been interviewed for SEVERAL jobs I haven't had a chance of getting. But always bear in mind that they might consider you for the next job, or the one after. So follow all the tips offered by Gwylan above, and think long-term.

I met Alex Lester at a wedding once. We have a few friends, and an employer, in common so we sometimes converse by email. He's more or less the funniest man I've ever met. Also, he lives in Hastings. Interesting fact.

See, I TOLD you that I didn't know the first thing about south London.

It's all bollocks, though. If you're a couple and you've got a half decent solicitor, you'll buy the house as "tenants in common", so you in effect have half a house each rather than one house between you. (There's more here...

Carlton Palmer? What?

The current Mrs Of Pevensey Bay is a primary school teacher (year 2) in west London and what Dave says rings pretty much true. Based on what she says (and what my dad says; he's been a teacher for 30ish years) the best advice I can offer you is ALWAYS back up what the teacher says*. That's the...

As someone who lives in North London, I've never actually heard of a place called South London. Seriously, though, I reckon you could get a flatshare in Clapham itself for 500pcm. Problem is, it's full of wankers. A good tip if you want to save on council tax is to move to the London Borough of...
