Bye, bye Beagleskin leaving beverages

Posted by Beagleskin 12 months ago
Last active 6 months ago 115 responses

Yes it appears the Beagle is leaving you all (at last) to start a new garlic-scented, wine-soaked, brie-eating life in the South of France. So I am inviting all you lovely Friday Cities folks, who have kept me in hangovers, bad coffee, and virtual filth for far too long, out for a couple of glasses of something B...

30th birthday Beagleskin: Why should I be happy to be 30?

Posted by Beagleskin about 1 year ago
Last active about 1 year ago 13 responses

On sunday the 3rd of June I will be 30 years of age. Yes the big three oh. Three decades of moi. To be perfectly honest rather than feeling mopey and ancient I am abso-frickin-lutely overjoyed to be 30. This time last year I was fresh out of hospital and didn’t even have enough energy to eat my birthday cak...

Not Alan. Harry. Come on – who’s preordered it? Who’s going to be queueing up on Friday?

Does anyone know a good, reliable and reasonable Tiler to do a small kitchen job in Bayswater? Basically someone came in to do it, messed me around, made a mess of the tiling so I sacked them. I need a splashback tiling with the white deco style tiles (brick layout) from the worktop to about 6 tiles high aroun...

The title says it all really. Slightly bored at work and very nosey – so what you up to? : ) x

Cold calling: phone a bit of melty ice

I saw this in the Metro one morning last week, so there is my tenuous London link… Apparently some arty chick called Katie Paterson decided it was art to drop her mobile phone by a melty glacier and let you phone it. This morning I did. Now I can say I have phoned a glacier. It wasn’t the bes...

Does the thought of summertime make you shudder or leave you skipping for joy?

Momentarily struck dumb about what this summer may have in store after recently reading this I then thought it best to share with you and do a bit of a KCL round-up. In a nutshell, summer’s heat and relentless stickiness without a breeze brings out my tetchiness. I twitch and incessantly moan about the cre...

Not for me, obviously, but for my betrothed. It will be a group of 30something women. Criteria are: Not chavvy Not too young a crowd Dinner followed by dancing (all in the same venue) Fun music Relatively central I await your combined wisdom.

Ah Londinium in the summer. Streets swarming with herds of pasty flesh, last year’s too-huge hastily-found sunglasses, and occasional prairie dog-like tourists who will still get the tube even though it is only stumbling distance from Leicester Square (pronounce Lie-sest-er square) to Covent Garden. Last ye...

I need a cheap-ish man and a small van to get me from Holloway Road to North Finchley’s Big Yellow Storage place. It is only 4 miles yet I’m being quoted “£56 per hour” or “£70” I’m convinced they are having me on because I sound about 12 on the phone so if anyone could reco...

Hello there. I’m a freelance advertising copywriter and up until now I’ve carted my work around in a photographer’s case that acts as my portfolio. It has served me well for years, but the time has come to move into the 21st century and put my work online. I have a freebie website here but ,appa...

How do you forget someone?

Asked by kudocities 6 months ago for 100 kudos
Last active 6 months ago 16 responses

How do you wipe someone from your mind and stop caring what they get up to? I don’t feel lonely, I have friends around me… but the past year has revolved entirely around another person and that relationship just ended. I am incredibly bitter and twisted over the whole thing and feel like I now have nothing left (...

Ring any bells? This is the pub where Beagleskin had her leaving drinks back in whenever it was. Apparently she is coming back to the UK from exile in France so I thought it would be a good idea to use that as an excuse to revisit the pub and drink some more. If you haven’t visited The King’s Arms bef...

....Can we all agree to keep the hallowed halls of Kudocities free from…dare I say it…talk of Big Brother? But I suppose, in mentioning it, I’ve already knackered that. But seeing as it’s all the papers will be full of for the next three months or something, let’s keep posts up to their...

Love is a four letter word

I have a habit of falling head over heels in love with women who don’t love me. I’ve been doing this for years. I left the country partly because of heartache, then promptly slid into years of unrequited love in Dubai. How can I stop this from happening? I’m really quite bored of it now. When sh...

Yes, that’s right, 1000 kudos. It’s time people. Time your witty and insightful musings graced the virtual shelves of Amazon.com once again. I’ve been hard at work compiling the best offerings of the past year. There have been laughs, there have been tears, there have been flounces, but we...

Platform 9 and 3/4 To Be Disapparated

Posted 4 months ago 4 responses

Harry Potter may have completed his seven years at school, but younger wizardlings are in for several years of service disruption on the Hogwart’s Express. Platform 9 and 3/4 will be shifted later this year to allow construction work on the West side of King’s Cross, according to Jon Burden the former Duty Station Manager at King’s Cross, who led a tour of the area yesterday. The enchanted platform will be relocated to the front of the station, close to the ticket office, in September. Read More

Evil Pub Prejudice: The Corner Store in Covent Garden

Last night I went to the Corner Store pub at 33 Wellington Street, London near Covent Garden. I left this pub with rage. I have to share. So here is my sharing: I went there with a group of 40 people (we had booked an area and arranged it with the pub beforehand). The group consisted of a range of ages from 20...
