Will this affect me getting to Brixton on the 37 for an 11.00am meeting with a client? If so I'll leave earlier.

Nunhead Surgery on Nunhead Grove, Nunhead has some of East Dulwich in its catchment area and is wonderful; I got to be on their patients forum. They absolutely refuse to have anything but a human answer the phones (ie. none of this "Welcome to RipOff Surgery, you are now being charged for your call but you won't get to actually speak to a human till you've gone through the five options" nonsense. They have telephone consultations and the doctors do phone you when they say they will. I have been with them about 15 years and can't praise them highly enough and the surgery comes in the top three of all surgeries in Southwark when it comes to patient satisfaction.

Ricky Gervais answered a similar question, "The dog the cat and one of the twins". My big bag of diaries My second bag of diaries. That's 41 diaries, I don't think I'm strong enough to carry my laptop as well unless it was in its bag then I could carry that over my shoulder.

Wow. Who's got stuff buzzards like?! That's incredible.

Aha - so being directed by a man who is an actor. This is good for his actors! Hope it is a fantastic script!

Copied from someone else on the justfortheloveofit website "http://www.walworthgardenfarm.org.uk/ Free Introduction to beekeeping sessions Introduction to Beekeeping is a free 1-day course designed to give a general understanding of the role of bees in supporting wildlife and agricultural production and a taster of what it would be like to look after bees. Courses are held on Sundays throughout summer, from 10.30am until 4.30pm (with a break for lunch) and are open to anybody aged 19 years or over. In one day we can only offer a range of topics for consideration, together with the chance to have a practical session working on the Garden’s hives with the Garden’s experienced beekeepers. Some of the basic topics covered will include: the importance of beekeeping bees and honey-bees; the life cycle of queens, workers, drones, and their division of labour the life cycle of a hive: swarming and swarm control the products of the hive: honey, wax, propolis and royal jelly Dates: Sunday 26th June 10.30am – 4.30pm Sunday 3rd July 10.30am – 4.30pm Sunday 17th July 10.30am – 4.30pm Sunday 24th July 10.30am – 4.30pm Please note: The course is FREE but you may only attend once. To book your place contact the Farm on 020 7582 2652 or email [email protected]. Please state the date you wish to attend, along with your full name, contact telephone number, email and postal address. Please note that dates may be subject to change in exceptional circumstances. Beekeeping is a wonderfully rewarding activity and it has an essential role in supporting wildlife and agricultural production. Even in London you can plant fruit bushes or small crops and see them pollinated by bees, or keep bees yourself, if you have a garden and a good relationship with the neighbours." End I did this a few years ago. Really interesting and fun!

obviously. As it goes, my Cousin went with this. He was only 53 and it was a humanist funeral so we all laughed at the irony. , just for a laugh too. And for number three Comfortably Numb as someone mentioned above. ANYthing but bloody Bette Middler Wings Beaneath My wings or anyone's version of My Way!

"That would be the sensible approach". It would, wouldn't it. But this is Southwark Council! I hope you will get some brochures and have your say too, kford!

Oh - and the Copeland-Consort-Heaton improvements, basically allow that those roads shall now be two-way and not one way, but there will be a lot of traffic 'calming' and (hooray) zebra crossings (and not traffic lights!)

Hi all I did not make it to the Peckham Rye and Nunhead Community Council last week. However, I did discover that there was to be a discussion on plans to install right hand filter lights at both traffic light junctions, from where you turn right (coming from the Goose Green end) to go up Peckham Rye SE22 (towards Clock House) and also at the next junction where you turn right to go towards Brockley / and Strakers Road which is the road that leads into the park itself and the cafe. The 484 turns right up that road. I asked for copies of the consultation sheets to be sent to me, within which are comments and a questionnaire for you to fill out and send off. Now, there has been a lot of discussion for years on this site about both junctions and finally the council are considering doing something about it. If you are interested in looking at a brochure of the plans and commenting, please email: [email protected] and ask him to send you the brochures (there are similar ideas for the Copeland-Consort-Heaton gyratory environmental improvements so you could ask for those too if interested). His direct number is 020 7525 2305 The forms for both have to be returned by 11 JULY 2011. The corner of East Dulwich Road and Peckham Rye SE22 is still East Dulwich so I hope this won't be moved to the Lounge. My comment in the form shall be along the lines of, that I hope the right turn filter light will not be a separate light; ie. that we will still be allowed to turn right on the onward green light when it is safe to do so. I think this is good news. And I have been persistently asking for this since those traffic lights went in, years ago!

Mergers, also known as a Marriage, when there are already children or a child ('acquired') by the one (usually the female) being 'taken over'.

Hot pants. I was eleven stone. Oh dear.

Thanks for this. Truly interesting.

Hi MrPR found a passport today when cycling on the green bit through/ under the Commercial Road. He went to hand it in to the Tower Bridge Police Station but there was a queue there and he had not time, so he asked if he could just leave it. Police desk person shouted at him saying he couldn't. But he did thus proving them wrong.... Anyway, he says the address with was not from our imediate ED area, hence I write this in the lounge. Still, shame about police attitude. I mean, that's just wrong.

It's not librarians who choose the books for their libraries anymore. Neither are the staff (all) very well educated in literature matters. I once asked for a book by a well known writer who happened to be female and was told matter of factly that the feminist section was 'over there'. And there was not one Chekov play in the whole of Southwark libraries so I bought my Chekov from Cheners for ?2. Libraries have been going downhill for years. It's sad. My first job out of school was in a library where no advertising posters for anything was allowed, no religious meetings, no political advertising, just books books books. Mind you, computers had not been installed either and we had to put things in alphabetical order. Remember those days? If librarians can't choose which books are bought for the libraries anymore, in many cases keen volunteers would probably do a better job of running the show. They'd need to be covered - insurance wise - for when kids come though. Kids have to get their music and Playboy games from somewhere. And I can't believe I wrote that!

A distrust of most adults.

Lunchtime, if it is not a costume drama, turn up at the catering trolley for lunch. Great food can be had on location!

Getting around to joining Southwark Circle as a Member (I'm a Helper and go round other people's houses to help do what THEY have been putting off!). (Over fifties only!) So I can get someone else round and do my things for a lot cheaper. Like cleaning my motorcycle....

My biggest regret is not getting in early enough to buy new good things that come up for sale. But I did once get a fabulous breadmaker for a tenner or so years ago and have never bought bread since. Oh - okay, more humbly then, I regret being unable to write well enough not to be taken as seriously when I don't intend it, and to be taken more seriously when I do. I certainly don't get as wound up about idiots who write such offensive stuff to me in PMs, as I used to.

It's the third free ebay weekend this year and it's 9.07 on a Sunday night and I've still not got round to putting stuff on. I need to treat my new waterproof boots before I go out on the bike in them and it rains... (always best to add stuff on) I need to sand down and then paint the pipe running along the top of the hall, all else of which was decorated over a year ago...

But I do prefer the new title that you gave it John!

Roast is stonkingly expensive but I treated me and MrPR to breakfast there on his birthday. We then ate again the following week. It is one fab restaurant if you are rich...

It's not open 24 hours though and the above number does not take you directly to East Dulwich Police Station. This might, tho i have not tried it. So you could try it and report back to this thread. 020 8284 7364

Yeah, it's true! Hey Supernanny, I was not being unkind at all, I love your name and was just wondering how and why you chose to have Supernanny* instead of just Supernanny sans Asterisk! Back to the thread, I personally am dog free but I can tell you a lot of dogwalkers can be seen on Peckham Rye Park at most time of days, and are a very friendly lot. So just approach and ask them. If you're friendly, they'll be friendly!
