Thin Lizzy I think generally The Maudsley arouses no strong feeling. On the whole it's a very good service which was threatened with closures in the recent past, no? I remember it back in 1994 for having Jonty Rhodes in overnight after he got bonked on the head by a bouncer at the Oval test! My only negative experience is that a shit I knew who beat his wife and applied a hot iron to her body, ripped her hair out, etc, managed to hoodwink the whole mental health team and ended up at The Maudsley instead of prison.

Blame my Grandpa, MP, he was in the Palestinian Police.

Stroll to the indoor market in Peckham. Very good pizzas, at very good prices.

Well I reckon if even Chelsea end up 3-0 down, we didn't do that badly.

Snorky, one doesn't like to crow.

You think you've got problems? I grew up thinking all mice wore clogs and lived in windmills.

I love the fact that if the Co-op pharmacy can't handle the problem, the Co-op funeral parlour can!

Let's bring back Croydon Airport. And while we're at it, restore the racecourse. Or floating planes on Dulwich Lake might be quite charming.

Sounds like you've invented a new season's race, HB. We could call it the Edward II Mulled Wine Stakes.

I fear for the future of English Literature. Three books I have read in the past week make a reference to that august store: Porterhouse Blue, Engleby, The Knife that Killed Me. What will novelists use now?

Do they do pints of bitter for us rough diamonds? Otherwise I'll pass - too rich for my purse.

Must be an election brewing.

Not sure, but it runs and runs

I love JKR but I think she might also have nicked a few ideas from The Wizard of Earthsea trilogy which I loved as a kid.

Are you sure that was hair of the dog you took this morning Jah?

My rhyming slang is a bit rusty, HB. Surely you're not calling anyone a poo?

Happy Birthday Jaws.

Wash your mouth out Cassius. Next you'll be saying David Essex!

Just got home - me plates are killing me. I've walked about 8 miles today and I ain't going another step further. I shall veg in front of the TV. Have fun all.

"You will chase your enemies, and they shall fall by the sword before you. Five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight; your enemies shall fall by the sword before you.? ~Leviticus, Chapter 26, verses 7-9 I argued with my flippant side, but it won out. sorry
