Actually there is one excuse.... but it doesn't apply to you.

Can anyone suggest an osteo or sports masseuse type person. I appear to have hurt my back during one of my many sporting endeavours.

I noticed a card advertising a masseuse tucked into the cash machine outisde Vera Cruz cafe. I'll get the deets to you when I'm next taking out cash.

 

[shifting gears]

Or just pay your fare.

When the railways are renationalised, I shall.

And once you've checked it out for quality of service you'll pass them to me?

Mardi at Brixton Therapy Centre is very good (above Foxtons on the high street). I can't recommend Chris as I just wasn't comfortable taking my clothes off in front of someone that young and good looking.

Mardi is good, but boy can she talk. I'd recommend Bruggameyers in HH as well, they are great.

It's doing a bit better now I've got up and moved around a bit. I kept getting stuck half way from sitting to standing. I'm going to go for a swim (and shower as too scared to get in my bath in case I can't get out! ) and reassess the situation. I've got Thursday off too so can make an appointment for then. Thanks for all recommendations.

To be honest I find that whichever you choose they almost always conclude in a happy ending.

Don't give up the day job.

 

[Rushy]

Don't give up the day job.

I have no time to fit a day job in between all my massages.

It's not as fun as it sounds. It's tough keeping it up all day.

"Omelette of potatoes"... Google couldn't get their shit right even on their own promotional material...

So what's the point of the glasses, and indeed Google software and search engine, if they can't do simple translations like that in a practical environment?

Watch the glasses being yanked from people's heads all over the country the moment some fools start wearing them.

One for editor, overheard in Honest burgers today: 'Come on, walk and talk, the Range Rover has just been dropped off. We can take the Jag for a spin.'

I wish I could unsee that post.

Not sure I'm going to make the Effra. Too busy, too tired, too many children yada yada.

I've used the glasses and to be honest, they are a bit shit....

I am here in London, staying in Clapham north until Saturday morning. It is not far from Brixton apparently so if there's anywhere or anything going on locally (I am a fairly open-minded easy going sort ha ha) please let me know either on this thread or by pm

Drinks this evening at Effra Social - people will be in the front room

 

[editor]

Ah, some cooling rain at last.

 

[Badgers]

Sweet summer rain

 

[Greebo]

Sweet summer rain

Word. I caught the best of it on my way home after Polish, now half drunk on the relief of cooler clearer better smelling air.

 

[Onket]

Great to see people tonight. I fucking love you. X

 

[boohoo]

Sorry I missed you Onket. I did go but couldn't get there any earlier than I did.

 

[boohoo]

That was a good evening everyone - when's the next one?
