PeckhamRose

A thread on Face book. A salad is to McDonalds what a hug is to a prostitute. Not the funniest line, but a reasonable analogy. I had a couple of burgers in my twenties, not since. Bit bleuuugh or it may have been the Dogbolter.

Yes, sorry about that edcam. I thought about it and remembered there was a thread about the noise over ED from planes, so thought I'd put it there so people can comment accordingly. You're right. I see it's been moved. Fair do's!

Why?

How excellent. I took a similar photo when I was flying over but it was not nearly as clear so well done you! Love how green it looks and you can see the train line and either someone has a blue roof or a swimming pool can't work out which! Also the edge of Brenchley Gardens, and the Reservoir. Thanks so much for posting!

Jeremy thanks for listing the NHS review site. I note The Gardens and Nunhead Surgery has great reviews but very few of them. People are eager to share bad experiences, warning about them, but not so eager to share good ones.

:)

Report them to PCT. Other surgeries do not have this appalling service. If you're in the Nunhead Surgery area definitely go there. We had a patients forum last week and they are very popular because they are empathatic and won't go down the 0870 route, have a human answering phones and do not have these ridiculous long waiting times to see doctors.

And yes, in my experience it is (to answer the OP). But the difference often is that the woman has to wade through the predators in order to find the genuine male companion she seeks. Yes, just like vanilla relationships.

Bondage Discipline Sado-Masochism. Fabulous deep relationships have formed and unformed, just like vanilla (non BDSM) relationships really. the D and S also meaning Dominant and submissive. Go to the London Alternative Market website and go to their monthly meetings and demonstrations.

I think they're all done at Kings now. Someone correct me if I'm wrong!

Great thread. What a mixed and well travelled lot we are. My small contribution: I was living with my Aunt in San Fernando Valley just north of Los Angeles and had been invited out for an evening by the guy that sold me the motorcycle insurance for the bike I had bought for while I was there. (He would later tell me how he had had to build up courage to ask me out for an evening, as he knew nothing about me other than what I had told him on the phone in order he complete the insurance application form! We had no idea of the other, though I had rung a local bike paper he advertised in and they said he was as safe as houses and they knew him.) I rode down to Downtown area to meet him as I insisted I knew the way. But I got a little bit lost in South Central Los Angeles on a Saturday night alone riding a motorcycle. Yet I was curious too. Black families literally living on the streets and gang colours draped over the street signs, and a few streets blocked off, fires glowing here and there, and a very strong sense of doom, something from that Michael Douglas film Falling Down. Gun fire. Sirens. And groups of black youth blocking certain streets and all watching me as I rode past, some clearly holding guns. But what I love about America is that all street signs exist on every junction. I managed to find my way out back to the freeway. When I told my 'friend' of my detour his face blanched! We had a lovely evening, and no we didn't(!)

FWIW the recycling centre off the Old Kent Road (Devon Road) is really good at this sort of thing. You can actually go there and see if there is anything you want as they themselves recycle stuff. You can phone them and ask if them the details. You could also see if LASSCO may be interested in it. http://www.lassco.co.uk/ http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/10070/recycling/1364/reuse_and_recycling_centre/1

ok ta.

FYI Southwark Council In Bloom (and a lot ofcouncils in bloom events) stopped a few yrs ago due to cuts in funding. Thanks for posting tho.

About many years ago.... I remember many ofus campaignedto havethe 343 and 484 bus stop afte that right turn, toprevent people having to stand on that corner and run across the road if ghe 343 was the first one to go up the hill. Again nothing was done. Sorry for bad spelling and nogaps.

Vinyl, it was either Diana Ross Touch Me In The Morning or Osmonds The Plan (I have about 15 yards of vinyl and still play them.) 8-track (bought in USA then brought it home realising I did not have a player) Bohemian Rhapsody Cassette Franki Valli and the 4 Seasons - I think it was called Who Loves You, the album that made a single of every song on the album. CD Patti Smith Horses, to replace the cassette which had been played to death. DVD I think it may have been the film Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead, with Tim Roth and Gary Oldman. Download - first download I think was the film Secretary!

Totally agree with that DJKQ. I also saw a 37 going the wrong way between the two Peckham Ryes on East Dulwich Road. Terrifying. The Council as usual have really not thought this through.

Nice beer though.

Am I to understand there is to be a right hand filter to go up Peckham Rye (from East Dulwich) up towards Forest Hill Road, but NOT one to go up Peckham Rye East side towards Cheltenham Road? I was campaigning for this before those second lot of traffic lights were put in (at junction Peckham Rye East) years ago.

I love this idea also. I have few skills but could be useful but as a household we have loads of skills we could swap! Let's face it, red wine only goes so far as a currency here! We (individually or as a collective?) would have to think of things like liability (should someone walk into someone's house and accidentally damage themselves or someone or something in the house), and so on. Or just agree to be sensible and take responsibility! Should we start a new section on the forum?

Are you surethat is more info?

yes ya do shorty, on every cat walk in every fashion show!

Noel Edmonds and Flynn the Postman. He used to be quite funny then. When we wuz innocent kids!

I remember Loving Magazine when I was a teenager. Also there was a magazine called Pink. For my comics I had Beano, Topper and Beezer, and me and my mates used to swap with Dandy and so on. Loving Magazine used to feature stories of young women leaving home, getting a flat near Kings Road and a job in a Kings Road Boutique, getting pregnant often by the Manager, going to a home for unmarrieds then giving the baby to adoption then coming home to Mum. Every effing week. My Gran used to live at the Worlds End end of Kings Road and I'd stay with her and wonder why anyone would want to work in a boutique! I have seen a couple editions of Loving for sale on eBay and often thought it might be fun to see a copy now.
