PeckhamRose

I would LOVE to see Long Days Journey Into Night with Laurie Metcalfe who I absolutely adore (Mike Figgis' Internal Affairs, Leaving Las Vegas, and Roseanne's sister in Roseanne) as well as David Suchet. But I can't afford it!

I knit. Very very slowly. Been at a nicely designed scarf for my dear mate who's birthday is in October. I was hoping to have it ready for her two Octobers ago... I also Get creative in the kitchen now and again and knit in there too. Haaaaaahahaha

I agree about the pheromone sticky traps. It's fun to see the little buggers stuck on them. I get mine from ebay. And we put them everywhere. About four in the living room floor level, and a few stuck to the ceiling of the wardrobes. One thing I learned from the aforementioned useful website above posted by someone was that the moths like moisture, so they'd like human sweat, so therefore they like worn clothes and shoes where there is human sweat. So clean and thoroughly dry clothes before you put them away, and keep worn clothes somewhere separately and enclosed. Quick!!! There's one!

I have a feeling that was a Tommy Cooper joke, possibly written for him by Peter Vincent.

I came home the other day, someone had broken in, stolen everything. Then they had put it back exactly as they found it, and fixed the lock so that when I came home everything was normal. Bastards.

Sunny Friday. Off to husband's ex-girlfriend's 60th birthday party. Positive post, we're all friends!

Cleanliness definitely has a part to play. We have very clean woollen carpets. They love them so much...

Happy Wedding tomorrow LouLoub!

Well I don't care if the posts were advertising a product, they gave great advice and it was useful, as it has been acknowledged that there were more clothes/carpet moths than there have been for many years, and this year may be just as bad. So thanks for posting. And we hope you'll stay to enjoy the rest of our forum.

Hi, I have found out he worked at Peckham Library. I am meeting with his colleagues soon but if anyone else knows him socially would they please contact me ASAP. Forgive the 'bump'; it won't happen again.

With thanks.

I agree with giggirl, but I do check with Trip Advisor. I like to think I could tell the mean vindictive reports from the genuine ones, and of course if loads of people don't like it then they can't all be wrong. It's a bit like here. I remember someone setting up their nickname and their first post was to praise a local beauty parlour rather too profusely. We all smelled that rat! But then when I think I know where I want to go, I'll book through their own website if they have one, or phone them up and do it in person.

If every single person who offered opinions, all said we did not want more speed humps (and of course that won't happen because some people love them), would the council get rid of them? Course not. Done deal. Call me an old cynic (I'm trying to remain smiling from previous post in Positive News), but really, council have their agenda and probably a big hangar with the year's budget worth of road humps. If they don't use them all this year they won't get more for next year. Every year I ask for more bike parks in useful areas. Every year am ignored, and that's just ONE tiny tiny question in the big scheme of things. I did not 'vote' for the way the Consort Road one way system has been changed and for the way the changes have occurred on Peckham Rye East Side. I voted for other options. And if more people did than not, then fine, they got their way and that is good democracy at work. But we never get to hear the results of the votings. So we/I just assume the council does what it wants to anyway. And I am more intelligent than that but experience beats me down.

Happily working at home. Cat asleep nearby, washing machine finishing, bread machine coming up to full smell factor ten with granary loaf, and Planet Rock blaring out from the DAB Radio. Will later do my end of year accounts, and still smiling even though it's been a crap year. Will later go out for a walk around the front garden (Peckham Rye Park, to you), and post my work to el Bosso up north. That's my Monday. Still happy! That's my positive news for today. I'm still Happy!

Why are there two Peckham Easts? The north one should be called Peckham North East. And if these little geographic areas are to be split in to such small areas, why are three distinct different areas all lumped into one characters area called Nunhead Peckham Rye and Honor Oak? And what is the point of all this? I mean, why are we concerning ourselves with politicians' games of boundary definition? There are lots of different characters and areas within the one big so-called character area of Nunhead Peckham Rye and Honor Oak. For starters even Nunhead has different areas within it.

What a charming film someone's filmed in my own 'front yard'! Hope it wins lots of festival awards!

A 'character area'. Nope, I'm lost.

The satellite may have been the International Space Station and the two planets are Venus and Jupiter. And there is another thread about this somewhere. Fabulous innit.

The photos above are absolutely wonderful, specially the close up of the guys putting the very top bits on, the shardy bits, on top! Thanks so much for sharing. We can see all this from our flats, but not the detail even through the binoculars. However, having seen Venus's four moons the other night with the telescope, we should try with that, even if the image will be upside down!

Have you tried talking to him? Engage in conversation?

It's a lovely place, but I would recommend a short stroll along the beach to Walmer, I recall from a year or so ago some lovely cafes on the seafront.

Stop the ridiculous expense of authorising and installing signs telling people everything they can't do (recent example, a sign telling men not to urinate in a corner near where I live; as if that will stop them, the corner needs to be designed out and could be). Make for a more positive atmosphere. Learn from the sign free stretch of Walworth Road. And what does Older People mean? Southwark Circle does a great job with and for people over 50.

[email protected] Please email the safer neighbourhood team address to the left. And also report this to the police as well although 999 maybe now inappropriate. So sorry to read this - just awful. Glad the Neighbourhood vets are there!

I've thought about this one, as I have lived in my flat 29 years. I would miss my friends and the wonderful support I get at Kings College Hospital and my local very good Nunhead Surgery. I would miss the incredible views I have across London (Shard topping off nicely and The Building With More On Top is getting bigger than we though!) I would miss Peckham Rye Park. I am a member of The Friends of PRP and also Peckham Society. I think 'belonging' to these things makes one have a better ownership of them. And I would miss the fact that I can get to Thanet in just 80 mins or central London in about 20. I would not miss the snobbery in some areas though, or the overt bible bashing in some other areas! And I wouldn't miss the three flights of stairs it takes to get home!

It's about right, vets are expensive! But I guess they have a lot to pay for. Rent, staff, skills training and so on!
