All You Need Is Love - Beatles

James Barber has been very helpful in various issues I've been involved in. I also wonder why, with an election coming up, the OP feels it necessary to say what political party JB belongs to (which by the way I don't vote for).

John Barleycorn - Knights of the Occasional Table :)-D

I read that as "Mouse Irradiation Day" - mass mouse X-ray maybe :)

Cum On Feel the Noize - Martin Carthy (f-ing brilliant version btw!)

I'm sure you're right, but depends how many pennies you have. Sometimes they have to be spent on, er, things like food :)

Can't do that! Rain / Reign Can you? Opens up a whole new range of possibilities ....

What, Dulwich Park? I like the Rye myself :)

I too think it's a shame to change the name. Why "The Villager", Scott? ED isn't actually a village, though I remember laughing when it was on the cusp (good word!) of change and an estate agent called it "East Dulwich Village". Also, Villager sounds a bit like Cottager, or maybe that's just me :)) Edited to add: Also, it's near Upland Road

Nobody has suggested using money which would be used to repair potholes to install artwork. I don't much like the suggested art project, but get your facts right.

I also think the problem has recently got a lot worse in ED. There is constantly poo in Ulverscroft Road, and people even let their dogs go (and then leave it there) in the middle of the pavement in Lordship Lane. As well as being extremely unpleasant if you tread in it, it is a dangerous health hazard to children, who can go blind I believe due to something which may be in it, whose name I can't remember. I'd be surprised if much of it is due to foxes, though obviously some must be. Thanks for raising the subject, I will also contact the council about it, has anyone raised it on J Barber's thread, I haven't looked at that lately?

Let us know what happens Will Dex Edited to add: Let's hope it is just a drunk or something similarly harmless

My daughter has made it quite clear she does not intend to look after me when I'm old :)) ETA: Older ....

Hey good luck Dan and Lou, sounds good :)-D Glad you're keeping Hankdog :))

Apologies again - as you were :)

Yeh I read this as "polish property", thought maybe it was a cleaner touting for work.

Hey! Joanna Newsom! I actually agree with the critic who said she sounded like a duck, but I'm up for seeing Roy Harper, there's a blast from the past :)) And I'm sure FlapJackDavey will be keen to see JN again. Thanks for the heads up titch. Edited to add: Erm, no, won't be going, just seen the prices - she's upped her game a bit then :-S Edited again to add: We should have got her down to the Goose before, looks like it's too late now, God knows what her fee is if they're charging that much for tix :-S

You're on form tonight Jimmy Two Times :)) What is this Nunhead Forum, I know of the West Dulwich, Camberwell and Forest Hill Forums but not Nunhead? Another place to promote our local gigs perchance (shameless plug for The Goose Is Out! Sorry admin, wash my mouth out).

Whatever it is, I'd rather it didn't sound like it was about to gnaw its way through my floor then burst onto my pillow in the middle of the night in the dark when I'm by myself :)) Thing is, emilydrab, thanks for your positive and supportive post, but I have actually lived in a place with rats, which did indeed gnaw through the floor, and the farmer had to put metal plates down eventually. They also built little stores of food in my kitchen cupboards, eg moving chickpeas into the box of teabags, which in a way was quite endearing but also possibly not something you want to encourage :) Stupid thing is, I did encourage them, they used to swing off the bird peanut feeder (this is absolutely true), I thought they were squirrels until I saw they had rather thin tails for squirrels :-$ I felt like the Pied Piper, I can tell you Edited to correct drunken typos :)

King of the Road - Rufus Wainwright and Teddy Thompson (oh and Roger Miller of course :)) )

OMG this is karma for being rude to Colin. I thought I had mice. Nice quite small harmless things, occasionally running about a bit, occasional squeak. Last night something large clawed beneath my bed (near my pillow, AAARRGGGHH) for ages, and it didn't go away when I banged on the floor. Twice. It sounded like it was scritchy-scratching and gnawing underneath the carpet and it sounded much bigger than a mouse. I had to turn the light on and sleep all night with the light on. It could have course have been the return of the ghost cat. But it sounded more like a RAT :))

All or Nothing - Small Faces

I've just emailed you :)

:)) If only this had been last year ..... I shelled out over ten grand, never mind getting a "cash injection", nothing's finished and much of it has got to be redone. Maybe I will investigate, but everything's in limbo at the moment, not sure I can bear putting myself through it all again :))
