Did you inadvertently provide someone with a sexual service?

I would be rich if that was the case

That picture makes me feel a bit sad I hope they let the ice cream man take his Mr Whippy machine before they crushed it

Has the tube station hot-dog vendor been about of late?

 

[colacubes]

I saw him last weekend. It made me hungry.

Lambeth's crushing victory against illegal ice cream sellers

This van was being parked in Westminster Bridge blocking cycle lanes, and those trying to travel safely by bike along the busy route have already told me they welcome this move.

That would also happen if they had a licence.

Wouldn't seizing and selling the vehicle be a better course of action? No need to crush it, it obviously worked.

He was there this evening; the smell of fried onions hit me when I got off the train. *dribbles*

 

[twistedAM]

He wasn't there about 12:30.
Last week he must have burnt the onions - the smell was not good.

FFS, went to bed it was raining and just woke up now, it's raining. My boy is going to get bored of the soft play zone in the Brixton Rec at this rate.

Did there not used to be some sort of metal workers designery people under a railway somewhere down coldharbour lane loughborough junction area?

I'd like to get something priced up.

God damn hipsters everywhere tonight *shakes fist*. They always have this sort of hesitancy on their faces like "This isn't what I read about at all, where is the thai restaurant, I'm going to have a panic attack"

Then again I don't seem to get along with my age bracket so maybe that's just the new look

[Orang Utan]

i hope it's a stunt. People seem to be laughing at her

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Are those pictures in the right order?

She seems to be back at the top of the steps after doing a little jog?

She went up and down the stairs several times and had a little jog or two inbetween.

Some people I know making a short film.
The lucky girl's reception (with her biker groom) is in the Windmill.

They were. Federation was too full of tourists so we tried the Nero in Morleys for the first time. The cafe's got a lot bigger now and it's a hell of a lot nicer than Costas. Great view too.

What kind of bicycles do they ride?

That's good that they're "married". Wouldn't want the landlord beating them up for living in sin or anything

Whilst looking for a newspaper today, I stumbled upon the Hop Poles. Not a pub I've been to for over 15 years, but sorry to see it looking like this. Never my type of pub but I remember going there for inter-pub pool competitions years ago.



Opposite a church that seems to have problems with spelling

Did you notice the "Sold" sign... been for sale FOREVER.... wonder what's going up there? "luxuryshitholeflatalert"?

I didn't, as I was in a rush to find newspaper, but then met friend and they told me it had been sold. Yeah, probably more luxuryshitholeflats
