PeckhamRose

Women live alone because they want to? Men live alone because they can't find women to live with them? Discuss. But that is why so many more flats are needed and are being built because in this busy London life we live, we want to come back to some peace quiet and solitary time. If you want a female couple for your female magazine then go find some. And by the way what is a 'nice' womens magazine? As distinct from what? Just asking.

I agree it sounds like there is nothing new in this. You missed out the growing number of childfree couples too, both gay and straight. How is it changing? What IS a "household"? What's so specific about "these days" that's making change from say, ten years back? It just doesn't sound - new enough?

Tough question. The egg? No, the chicken? Ummm. Peckham IS properly linked. It has a TRAIN line. TWO stations (Queens Road and Peckham Rye). And those stations go everywhere. What's the point in knocking down housing and buildings. It would then become just one big transport hub for busses trains and trams. An airport would be nice though. I guess all this is old argument, so sorry for bringing it up again. "Peckham Vision" needs new eye test.

That's Feb 2009...

I'm training to be a humanist celebrant (faith free funeral services). Could you all hold on till about February please? I'll be qualified then.

Not personally. The whole idea of it seemed preposterous, carving up huge areas of quite interesting bits and some very historical bits of Peckham, in order to plot a tram route. But what do you think? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7712002.stm

I don't have a problem with something being artistically scientific or scientifically arty. I'm looking forward to it. Seen a lot of dead bodies and it's about time they were used (with the previous owners' consents of course!) to educate the rest of us. When I went to buy the tickets from the Dome itself it was half term and there were quite a few kids coming out of there looking fine about it. This is good. Anyone seeing the Neil La Bute show at Almeida? Giggirl? I just got tickets for that too.

Judi Dench - Madame de Sade. The tickets for next June have now been placed in a vault in the Bank of England. Oh - and I am seeing BodyWorks at 02 next week.

I am SO proud. I know the person responsible for Obama's election. She is a friend of mine in California. She ran the volunteer's office for 6 weeks, and JUSt before the official announcement was made Obama emailed her * with her name at the top of the email "Dear Lynne" even spelt right, and said he "could not have done it without you". All down to her. Well okay and a few hundred thousand other volunteers. But he spelt her name right. Him. personally. Him. Wow. *and probably EVERY volunteer's office in the country with the names of everyone at the top of the email but don't ruin my pride here, okay?

Remember the nightmare of when people who dealt with feet, or LOOked like paedophiles, were attacked by angry mobs? We elect people who appoint people to punish bad people for us. They often get it wrong. But it's not our job to do it. However, they get it wrong too much. And this worm is beginning to turn...

The situation's driving me nuts. That bloody tart from EastEnders is bending me ear now. "NO chance you minger" I told her agent to tell her. Her agent replied to me, "Oh dear, "minger" is SO last year." I got Kate Hudson who has somehow got my "CELL" number and she's redialling begging for a meeting. I left a message "You'RE TOO YOUNG, LOVE". But no, fifteen bloody calls today. I blocked Keira, she's just pissing me off. So sort it out!

You can 'ave 'er. But quick. Give her me script as a good selling point in case you're not rich and/or artistic. She'll love yo for it. I promise. But hurry up because now bloody Scarlett's joined the queue and she is SUCH a whiner.

Off you go to Peckham Rye Park. The pavements are very very slippery where the kids (sorry, mostly kids) scrape off their muddy boots before climbing aboard the 4x4 to be chaufferred home.... leaving nice muddy pavements for the rest of us to slip on. On a less cynical and growling note though, I do see more mature men playing football there Sundays sometimes, the southern end, and it may be worth going there on a Sunday morning and asking if you can join in?

Actually (Damn, I hate people who start sentences with AKshully), I heard ED was the Lesbian capital of London.

Thou shalt not piss it down when I am out in bad weather on the motorcycle having to go to 15 venues all over London.

I have a filmscript that's actor proof and director proof. She'd be great in the lead. Bloody hurry up, would you? I'm fighting off Uma Thurman 'ere and I don't want Madge to see Uma's scrawny fingerprints over this script. Oi! Keira, get to the back of the queue love!

Hahhahahhahhhahahahahahaha oh that's funny. Most of my furniture is homemade. Does that count? No wait, I don't want camera crews in my flat! Though the Bond film producers did recently pay a hell of a lot of money to someone who let them film in their house and they knocked a chunk out a wall and made a mess. Yeah, come on in!

I just had two delicious big cups of coffee (nice clean coffee machine) and home made bread (ok breadmachine) toast with vegemite. What is all this fuss about paying loads of money in warm OR cold cafes when you can buy machines and have breakfast in the warm comfort of your own home with a cat purring in your ear in bed. Pahhhh

Take it you don't work in emergency services then, jimmy2x.

Could have been dangerous, specially if she was a little drunk. Or tired, or prone to asthma unable to walk that far. Or something. Ultimately the bus driver was out of order.

OK - what's raw chocolate? The beans? Or do you mean flavour-sugar-milk-free chocolate? (Reminds me of a coffee shop in USA I went to - a coffee called "What's the point". Caffeinne-free fat-free-milk coffee!)

Just to remind folks, the reason why Boris allowed motorcycles to ride in TfL bus lanes is because over the last 2 years or so an experiment has been going on, on A13, A23 and A41 to do just that. Whilst the results of the test were not widely publicised, it did show that there was no greater risk to cyclists, and just as importantly, bikers were thus safer and less accidents occurred as a result. Ken saw this result, sh@ himself, and gave in to the Cycling lobby. The report was suppressed, though leaked. Boris, however, has a slightly more analytical mind and is (so far and we hope forever more) refusing to be swerved by lobbyists (such as Green Party Assembly Member Jenny Jones whose in depth analytical argument against this measure was, "Bikes are scary for us"). Hence we are allowed in TfL bus lanes. I did not vote him in. But I disagreed with the idea of the congestion charge running to Ken and Chelsea, and disagreed with bendy busses on our small roads as they are a danger for cyclists and bikers. So I have to concur that so far he's doing all right. But I do believe he has agreed a whole load of financial cut backs though I know not who or what will be affected by that.

It's not another round of bus driver bashing. It's a post against a human being in a responsible job where he could have helped another human being. He didn't. And I hope you post the result / reply to your complaint to the bus company.

Adrian Lester. Marc Warren would be great tho. And yes, Michael Sheen would be a bit like Sylvester McCoy, I think, but he'd be good.

To answer the original question, "Yes, yes, correct, no - Peckham". Which may be even rarer? Ho hum...
