  1. 184 bus. Sorted.
  2. David_carnell that was an excellent reasoned post. Still can't stand her though.
  3. What's wrong with money? Or what's wrong with people exchanging skills off their own back? Why formalise everything? Now, would someone like to come round and make good our small hall walls and ceilings, in exchange for.... Maybe this one's for another thread in Wanteds section!
  4. Hi - from someone the other side of the Park who walks quite a bit including up Barry Road via across the park in the dark. As someone else has said, the murdered people sadly were specific targets. So it makes Barry Road no less safe than any other road. And I don't feel unsafe (hold on, double negatives confuse me) - I feel safe anywhere I walk even north of East Dulwich Road. And at night. And that includes in Peckham. Making an "issue" out of it somehow makes people feel they should be frightened, and so they become frightened, then start telling people how dangerous it all is.
  5. Tarah - where was the building in Chelsea that you first referred to? Thanks!
  6. Er.. cate... sorry but the "duck pond" is actually the LAKE. I know this because Southwark Council spent a lot of money making signs telling us that it is a LAKE. So that's what it must be. "Pond" indeed. Pahhh.. Yes, the adult exercise things are on SE15 side of the park, and by the skateboard area. Likewise I saw lots of little kids on them, yet Southwark Council spent a lot of money on signs telling us it is for over 12s only. And they spent a lot of money on signs saying that dogs should be on leads in certain areas of the park, yet the park keepers were clearing out the water fountain area in the middle of the Sexby Garden once again because dogs jumping in shortcut the electric bits that make the water fountain go whoosh. Apparently. We are signed out, it would appear.
  7. The Friends of Nunhead Cemetery has an open day which is often busy. Sat 16th May. You can google them to contact them. Peckham Rye Fete is September 5th, and the AGM is on 22nd April in the cafe in the park itself so you could go along and ask about it. Hope this helps!
  8. Is TonyLondonSuburbs our bossAdmin?
  9. Grey squirrels.
  10. Entertaining Mr Sloane. FABULOUS. Ends 11th April. And despite what the news said, Matthew Horne was still not well enough to appear tonight. (My luck! Judi did not appear at Madame de Sade, either!) Unlike the understudy for DJudi, however, Mathew Horne's understudy was brilliant. Mind you, the play is actor proof. Imelda Staunton is excellent. There may be a few tickets left. We had 2nd row from back and heard every word!
  11. Was she walking the right way up the aisles? To the right of centre?
  12. I was so pee'd off with the fact that eBike imsurance appeared to be the cheapest insurance for my motorcycle. But getting through to humans to discuss stuff just seemed impossible, and I fear had I had an accident the other party would have found a problem meaning I was not covered. I found a great human being insurance broker who - although I paid a mere ?20 more - got me comp cover instead of TPFT and, AND, business use. So I am happy to say the human, who knows his business and, most importantly, knew which questions to ask me, the human won! Ditto getting train tickets. We found what we thought was a good fare to go to Cumbria. I went to Euston anyway and thought I would ask the Virgin ticket office man. He sold us a better ticket than the one on the web, because he knew his stuff.
  13. Is this professional commission? You a professional photographer? PM for advice though I am sure the other pro photographers will know about it, on here.
  14. A lifeguard of whose life? And where? Peckham Rye Pond? ;)
  15. I am allergic to bee stings. Got stung once by a Killer Kamikaze Kiwi bee on north island of NZ and 2 days later could not get my motorcycle jacket on as arm had swollen and the swelling was moving into my chest. The pharmacist said basically I needed to see a doctor. Now! But it was a Sunday morning and both doctors on the south island of NZ were away. What would this doctor prescribe, I asked? "Steroids. Now." was the reply. I had emergency ones on me for asthma attacks and so took some according to pharmacist's suggestions. Having said that, I await Orlando's honey who is the man who makes Nunhead honey on Ivydale Road. Local honey helps with hayfever. I could do without Staffordshire Bull Terriers when owned by people who really don't understand dogs. I could do without the species of human who doesn't care for other humans too.
  16. You haven't been out to see it then, have you Nero. There were loads of adults on all of the bits of machinery! Good for them! Whether it will attract NEW people to exercise as distinct from people who exercise regularly anyway, we will see. I certainly would not as I said in the first post. But already it has caught on and I think it's fab.
  17. Is that legal below? And can you watch Premiership footie? Meanwhile, no-one's mentioned The Persuaders. So I will. THE PERSUADERS! bigbadwolf Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Don't waste your money on boxsets Huggers. Simply > watch them all for free on this link.

  18. If none of the above helps, please PM. MrRose is a pro photographer. His first suggestion is not to rush out and buy lenses until we know what the problem is. Post an image so we can understand what the problem might be. It's a perfectly good lens that you have. Anyway, seems you have a lot of advice to sift through!
  19. Has this been mentioned in local press? This one near Herne Bay, made BBC news! I think it's a great idea. I need to get fit enough in private though, to feel confident enough to be seen using one in public!
  20. Yes it was me it was me. I remember seeing the van and I thought "Yay! Motorcyclists don't have numberplates on the front and I will turn and face him to make sure he does not see it!!" Prove otherwise!
  21. Which celeb. Jamie? Not Jamie surely. Was he stocking up after doing the dinner for the G20 lot?
  22. So anyway, back to topic, is it true? I ACHE to be the rebel till everyone rebels then I'll go where I need. This is a brilliantly funny topic and thanks for starting it.
  23. I think it's Mr Cornwall. He's a regular. I adore Phil Cornwall. He's not just a great impersonator but he's a comedian himself and a great writer. Doing Bowie singing "Where's my sausages" is part of my comedy life.
  24. I like the Mentalist. A lot of it is - as Derren Brown has said before himself - a life time of just observing people's reactions, working out what they say and learn body language and so on. The Series of course has a glossy American thing going on, but the point still stands, and I like it a lot. Specially like it because it is absolutely not the psychic thing happening. Because that's bollox innit.
