Well you deserved to. Editor needs to get his act together

I'm off to the pub to see if I can annoy some grannies

This thread is like some weird alternative universe. I'm off to the pub.

You're supposed to buy grannies a sweet sherry. Maybe that's where you went wrong.

You are also supposed to tell them that they look far too young to have grandchildren.

It's so warm tonight it looks like half of Brixton is out on the streets!

Try going in the Windmill and having the sodding aircon down your neck. Freezing

Resuscitated Living Bar on CHL looks like it's nearly ready for action

What did it look like before?

 

[editor]

What did it look like before?

You mean when it was the Living Bar or the IsoBar or the Coach and Horses? Or the butchers shop?

I only know what it looked like as the Coach and Horses

You buy this granny a sherry & she'll pour it all over you! Single malt whisky for me, please, dear, if you're offering.....

Have you actually ventured out of the Brixton Hill area since the 19th century?

Of course. I was in Ireland last week.

Week before that, I had breakfast in Purple in Streatham.

I regularly go to Camberwell

I may go up to Morrisons in Streatham today as well

Oh, and I went to that newish Thai cafe near to Decorator's Mate the other week

I'm well travelled you know

Just walked the whole perimeter of Brockwell Park as the sun was starting to go down.
It was glorious!

Saw a heron in the pond too. Standing very still but we didn't see him catch anything.

Maybe if he moved, he'd actually catch something. Lazy bastard

He kept slightly lowering his head like he had seen something but then it obviously went.
He was good but not as good as the very lively ducks and Canada geese

Maybe his mother died when he was young and he's not learnt how to catch fish. Maybe you could give him some lessons?

 

[Orang Utan]

They have to keep still so as not to scare the fish away. Then they move very very fast!

Maybe he's not learnt the "move very very fast" bit yet

 

[Orang Utan]

oh he/she has. they move so fast you can't see it. it probably caught dozens of fish while kitty was watching. herons are even faster than limpets and barnacles.

 

[kittyP]

I think he was waiting and watching.
More that there wasn't enough fish action than him not being very good at it I think

Could be it. Kitty's obviously too slow to notice

There were many birds
