Peckhamgatecrasher

Saunters in wearing spangly leotard. Anyone want to be my catcher?

How do we tackle this you ask? I don't know, but I feel strongly that we should all consider this extract from John Donne's Meditation XVII: No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind ... I think too often we are insular and selfish and only consider our own space and possessions and disregard the worth of other people. [sorry, this is a bit incoherent but I hope you get the drift.]

Not sure Keef is straight either, he's usually listing at 75 degrees.

Blimey Brendan, I'm still getting over Tony Greig.

Damn, I've missed the big fight. Just to throw some light on Talfourd Road re parochial boundaries, the half with the Fire Station belongs to All Saints, Camberwell (confusing - actually in Peckham but in Camberwell Deanery); the other half of the road is attached to St Giles, Camberwell.

I can do Cowes with you Michael - it's all about the clothes darling.

Michael, it's really not nice to scare the natives.

But FoGG, football always has two goals - the wall and the fence in this instance. Also, why do they just have seats down one side? Seems a waste of space.

Keep an eye out for when the horse is in action - lots of coins get thrown to the crowd! Best to take a child with you who doesn't mind scrabbling around.

Interesting Hugenot. I wouldn't have a problem with a blanket 20mph speed limit in all urban places*. When it is broken (as invariably it would be), hopefully it wouldn't be by too much, thus saving lives. *and get rid of the blessed speed bumps.

An historic wall sign I noticed on the coach entrance to the Oglander Arms (or whatever it's called these days). I've walked past hundreds of times and it never registered before: Gentlemen are requested not to commit a nuisance against the wall. [pointing finger sign] urinals

Keef, you are a darling. It wasn't the one I remember, but it will do!

Hear, hear. It was rather heartening to see a good word said for the place and by a parent who cares.

Probably about six months ago. I think it may have been Mamoraman but I did a search with him as author. Can't remember the ads, though one may have been for beer (that could be wishful thinking). Don't waste too much time, not that important!

Could you help me find a thread please - don't want to start a new one. It was about old painted advertisements on street walls but my search returned nothing. Thanks.

I'm very expansive after extending myself over several pints on LL.

Got to level 8 and decided not for me. Too frustrating.

My friend bought me a rather delish sparkling rose from Nicolas last week - perfect for supping on summer evenings in the garden: Cremant de Loire

Doh. Thanks.

Ted Max, you are DrunkMummy and I claim my 25 shillings.

Tis good. How about a link to the Horniman since it's on the same bus route?

Avoid all gold covers (except Charlie Higson); avoid all pastel covers (except Jane Austen); avoid all scantily dressed ladies covers (except Alistair MacLean): everything else should be ok (except if recommended by Metro).

I often have wild hair, am frequently claret-abusive - you see, I should be working there.
