I know I work for them, but they actually have good stuff. for free. Worth checking (We're going to the "why bread matter" event, sounds good!)
It's only a few metres down the road from the Forest.

THE MAD MANIFESTO by Cynthia Kitchen we will not go mad! we will not eat cows! we will not support the golden arches! we will not ordain ourselves burgher kings! we will not excrete the brainwashed masses! we will not stake our future on beefed up charges! we will not kow-tow to the meat industry! i...

Came accross that one while visiting the Library's graphic novel exhibition: Eddie Campbell's (Revised) Graphic Novel Manifesto There is so much disagreement (among ourselves) and misunderstanding (on the part of the public) around the subject of the graphic novel that it's high time a set of princi...

Newington Bandit

have you tried freecycle?

Newington Bandit

Maybe I'm lying, though... who knows?

Newington Bandit

I'm being a Ghost for the National Library, thought it'd be a nice touch to carry a severed head around...

Newington Bandit

Would it be okay if I borrowed a head for a few hours next Wednesday evening (from say 7 till 10.30 PM)?
Bring it right back afterwards, Forest on my way back home....

Newington Bandit

Happy to help with the spreadsheet: never done anything like that, though, so not sure what is needed to be done, how to do it and if some special skills are required.

Newington Bandit

About the cleaning rota... there is a laundry and a window cleaning rota at the back of the cupboard in the kitchen, I've signed those (only just discovered the laundry rota actually, have been doing laundry for ages without signing anything up....) maybe they should be included in the cleaning rota...

Newington Bandit

Agree with Dai on the double bill issue. Seems quite a lot to put on the one night. it might make it more difficult to start the film on time, and if you want to show a longer film, it's going to be a very long night for volunteers and NM...

Newington Bandit

I haven't said my last word about working in the Kitchen by the way, I'll be back (especially like working there during the festival)! Evenings are just a little too much for me at the moment, but I'll pop in some Sunday mornings for window cleaning/humus making/general tidying ...

Newington Bandit

Okay, how often are we talking? Weekly? every other week? I'm happy to do it whenever I'm around on a Sunday morning, but can't guarantee I'll be there every week though... I understand Danny did them very recently, do we want them done again this Sunday? Happy to do it if we do... better do them be...

Newington Bandit

What about Philippa Hole? Do we still have her? She would float...

Newington Bandit

Might want to do it in a way that allows the water to be replaced regularly though... stagnant water smells terrible (especially if you get warm weather and it evaporates and it all gets mouldy)

chris wrote:clean it.

fill it with water and things that float rubber ducks etc.

put wheels on it.

get a large piece of glass (with ground/non sharp edges) and silicon seal it to the top of the bath.

viola~! ········· a crazy weird coffee table.

I love this idea!!!

Newington Bandit

we don't want something hard to move in the windows, I'm not moving a bath everytime we want to give the windows a clean! Also it might just attract drunk people who want to take a nap... a bath full of cushions is even better than a sofa...

Newington Bandit

So... if we say roughly 3 weeks, I can be there on Sunday 13th April to give them another go.

Newington Bandit

happy birthday Blue, all the best!!!

Newington Bandit

Would the window cleaning be a regular thing to do? Maybe every 3 weeks or so on Sunday morning? I'd be happy to help with that...

Do we know if it's got two steamers for milk (i.e soja and cow)?

Newington Bandit

Any chance of doing stuff in the garden on Saturday? Swithun and I need to show off our matching overall....

Newington Bandit

I like the subtitle always on too, great when English is not your native language, makes it much easier

Newington Bandit

I'm not carrying your shit, if that's what you've got in mind....

Newington Bandit

Can I tag along even if I don't do pictures?

Newington Bandit

the rubbish that ends up in the laundry bin pisses me off too. Couldn't go to the meeting on Tuesday but Swithun was in charge of ranting on my behalf. Not nice to have to fish out onion peels, rotten carrots, crumpled papers and stuff like that before it's safe to put in the washing machine (especi...

Amazing lentil soup (really!) We've been doing this one at home on a regular basis ever since we discovered it, it's vegan and I love it anyway, so there! You need: 2 onions 400g. red lentils 2 teaspoons cumin 2 teaspoons cinamon 2 litres water 2 cans of tomatoes (the peeled ones). Oh, and I mean no...

Don't use my scrabble skills as an excuse to stay on facebook Swith, you're not going to trash me. Ever.

If I can find a copy with English subtitles, that is.....

Newington Bandit

Just in case people wonder, it is until the 28th (the Sunday), not the 27th. They need help most on the Wednesday during the day to set things up, and the Sunday after 5pm to clear the space. Elaine's lovely, and she's my friend! Come and help her (Swithun and I are) If you can't make the fair, ther...

Newington Bandit

Might be good to mention the facebook group for forest, I reckon a lot of people already have a facebook account, so might be more likely to sign up to it, no?

Newington Bandit

just a wee thing, is that Swithun and I won't be able to do the laundry for a couple of weeks or so... we don't have a washing machine yet! haven't even ordered it, actually....

Newington Bandit

I can do the 7-8 with Swithun. I'm at work rest of the day, I'm afraid....

Newington Bandit

Dai, there is a couple of ugly wardrobes for grab in our new flat if you want one/both for your project

Got your camel food bag, by the way....

I had a wee look, manifestos fall under the same copyright law as other material (it's life +70 years, not 30 years). However, it is possible to use material, either by buying the copyright, or getting a license. Licenses do not (and usually are not) have to be in writing form, they can be just impl...

Don't know about Metropolis, but Spirited Away was shown in August at the Filmhouse.

swithun and I were thinking about grabbing a whole lot of garlic to do some lazy garlic off site (i.e at home) would that be OK?

I'm already Newington bandit, but if we move flat I might have to go back to Demented Gerbil (Swithun's idea, not mine...)

Newington Bandit

I read but I don't write (much), is that bad?
I usually let Swithun do the talking for me if I've got something to say
