    Are golf buggies for lazy people? Is it that hard to walk round a golf course?

    The latest Santander advert...some bloke it pedalling around on an 80's Raleigh Panasonic Replica...my guess? It's a Team Cadet.

    Our neighbours have just been shopping. Mrs wheels the baby in its buggy into the house & returns to help hubby carry some stuff in and the door blows shut behind her. The keys must be inside as they are clearly trying not to panic. Does the door come of or can they get in contact with a family member with a spare?

    I just wanted a new mobile phone, I just wanted a phone that I could get out the box, stick a battery and sim card in, switch it on and away we go. Not a phone that after an hour still doesn't let me make or receive calls. :twisted:

    Am I getting old? Is that what the problem is?

    I'm eating a mango, which happens to be my favourite fruit.

    75p for a Bueno bar! It's mostly bloody air! :(

    I had one of them red bikes but I don't any more. Sad face.

    The fridge is making strange noises. I fear it's about to die. It sounds like the distant hum of vuvuzelas. Perhaps if I watched the World Cup final in the kitchen, it might add to the authenticity of the occasion. :D

    Hmmm, the distant hum of vuvuzelas... It's probably just bees that have taken up residence in the warm bits behind the fridge. Just think, your own private honey source!

    I always assumed it was pronounced 'deptfordmarmoset'. How is afx237v1 pronounced?

    I always pronounce it AFX 237 V1, although I found the v2 version was much improved.

    ah, you're another one!
    I look at the 'dept' bit and to me, that's an abbreviation of 'department'. Also, at the end, is the -et bit pronounced with a hard 't' (as in tablet), or is it like chalet ?

    Ah, the local pronunciation varies between Debtford and Det'ford (where the ' represents a glottal stop). I was watching the footy at the time, but my 78-year old mother just instant messaged me to say that there was a programme on Radio 4 called ''The London Nobody Knows'' that started tonight and they chose Deptford to kick the series off. I'll have to wait to see whether it appears on iPlayer to hear how posh people pronounce it.

    You certainly messed up with the patent then. I'd pine if I'd missed a deal like that....
