For a moment there I thought you were using 'laying bricks' euphemistically. Eeewwwwww!!

She always claimed she was stitched up and ... "In 2007, Dr Patrick Barnes, the prosecution's star medical witness, reversed his opinion. He concluded that death could have been caused by an old injury, as argued by the defence. In a scientific paper he states: "The science we have today could, in fact, have exonerated Louise. There is certainly, in retrospect, reasonable doubt."" She's just lucky she's not still rotting in some American jail. Aaaaanyway...eggs, corridors, prams, nice produce...

I've a feeling that online petitions are often dismissed out of hand and are considered to be less weighty than their paper brethren. particularly the rent a petition sites. If Ant's neighbours can set something up though that might be better. Barring that I've a few megs of webspace from my ISP, I might even manage something myself.

Blimey Cap'n. As if the tabloids don't do enough scare-mongering!! Come on chaps, eggs, narrow corridors, nice produce...

OK, I'm in. Next week, shall we say Tuesday? If we don't want to do a pub I'm happy enough to do it at my place and make cups of tea and stuff.

The SLP seemed to be interested in a 'the good folk of ED campaign to save house' story or something. But who knows, if we can get some momentum it could be useful publicity if they're still interested further down the line. I'd step one is those interested meet up and see if any among us have some sort of organisational ability (mine doesn't stretch much past being able to remember a round). Then maybe we can start following up some avenues as suggested above like FOI and Ant's victorian website advice etc. Sound tempting to anyone? Perhaps Caffe Nero some midweek evening in the next fortnight?

Well, I'll happily argue that Dylan didn't become great until he'd spent a bit of time over here and was immersed in traditional folk and the burgeoning folk rock movement. To which end I'll offer up a slice of the classics Ballad of the sea - Classic English Folk " I walked alone in foggy dew Just me and my memories A voice out seaward beckons thru A whistle of love for me, for me A whistle of love for me. T'was two moons 'go her father stole My love away from me Arranged to wed a soldier red My love's gone 'cross the sea, the sea My love's gone 'cross the sea. For ten days long our love grew strong She swore her "love to thee" Each night up high on mountainside She'd whistle her love for me, for me She'd whistle her love for me. Late one night, my fire alight Awaiting for her to see My wait was long, o' what could be wrong Where could my true love be, love be Where could my true love be A light 'cross waters latern glow Was all mine eyes could see And from below noise drifted slow Like a 'gull come back from sea, from sea Like a 'gull come back from sea. Her song it haunts me still this day Notes of uncertainty If heaven laughs at prayers of mine Then it never was to be, to be Then it never was to be."

Oh, and free wi-fi for people who are into that sort of thing.

Someone from the South London Press has been in touch interested in if the good folk from the forum are actually doing anything about starting some sort of campaign. I'm usually inert to the point of moribund, but anyone fancy getting together to actually start doing something and getting some momentum. I don't want to be the one tutting saying someone should have done something once it's gone. I'm obviously speaking to those who want to save the house, not the detractors.

If she knows anything about business intelligence reporting and prepared to work hard (none of this posting on forums all day!!) then we're on the look out.

HMHB coming out on top. As it goes I posted the video to this in the soundproofed room a few weeks back. Worth hunting down as it's a superb pastiche/use of eraserhead.

I'd have to plump for the fast disappearing dulwich hospital. Ok, it's a bit run down, but just terrific victorian architecture!

Nice. I'm thinking may have to buy the Men at Work album in Fopp for a fiver :)

Get her a new job?

I had a perfectly cooked one of those recently. Who needs Beauberry House when The Forum's own Bumbalina is such a dab hand at crustacean death I must say, not cooking seems a pretty unorthodox way of serving lobster, surely some sort of H&S issue there?

Nope I checked out Hoopers tonight with Huguenot. Nice place. Good ales (Harvey's, Brakspear and guest, porters and Belgians in bottle), it's done the place up with no gastro pretensions, just a lick of paint, a carpet clean and a smile. Those who lament the passing of real pubs in ED might want to check it out as it's a boozer of the old CAMRA school. The main thing it seems to lack is custom, I hope it manages to fix that as it's not got much else wrong.

Que?

I know, rubbish isn't it. We've only had one man actaully rise to the occasion. But Ed Joyce can't carry the team alone!!!

I think it was last played at an exceedingly drunken new years at the old ancestral home. We were in the garden with it playing at full pelt while we played launch ourselves across the frozen pond (yes it was so long ago, water froze in the winter!!)

Lol, I actually have Lingalongamax on vinyl tucked away in the attic somewhere!!
