PeckhamRose

Like Jah Lush I saw Elvis Costello at Hammersmith Palais. I had absolutely no realisation that I had seen the Pogues as support, though. Oops!

Don't know if this would help but it might be worth emailing BUAV. British Union of Anti Vivisectionists. Warning for people looking at this website, there's a lot of cruelty out there even in this country.

Were they not a dodgy tribute band from the fifties? Anyway, welcome Sir/Madam!

19: Come with me just need to nip to Asda/Sainsbury's/Tescos for a few things.

A while ago John Beesley, Sec of Peckham Society, Editor of Peckham Society Newsletter and all round good man who has written many books on Peckham and East Dulwich and their history, gave a talk all about the cinemas and theatres of Peckham and East Dulwich area. Sadly I missed it. The photos here on this thread are great. Thanks!

Ha! No, honest gov. Not me. Can't stand cadburys cream eggs.

And my mate used to leave a Cadburys Cream Egg to melt in his porridge whilst making his tea.

Could we have some good drama instead?

Details. Southwark is minus 8.44% down if I understand it right.

I would still have stopped. But alweays alert and having a way out.

Dickensman that is brilliant. Use a spypen or something then put it on YouTube.

Do the same thing right in front of him. With the messiest food you can think of with something that stains. Clear your desk and accidentally spit something out on to his. When he complains, tell him you were following his example.

A heart warming story and we hope you recover very soon. How awful and terrifying about being ignored by your fellow humans. We here all wish you a speedy recovery!

That'll do it.

Peckham Rye Park, half an hour ago, stood still for about five minutes somewhere near the entrance by where the fitness thingies are. And a man at the fitness thingies sat still and witnessed two robins eat peanuts from my black gloved hand. Nature. Birds. Fabulous. In an SE15 postcode.

including petrol?

The C word. It offends still, so I shall keep using it.

Chick those photos are absolutely fabulous. Who do I have to buy drinks for in order to be allowed to go up to the top of the Crystal Palace Towers with you? I have my own hard hat - helmet! I LOVE heights! I see those photos were taken before the Shard made its mark, though. Absolutely lovely photos; thanks for sharing!

There is a pet shop in North Cross Road, and vets have some stuff too, but I tend to go to PetsRHardSmartAtHome near Wickes because often stuff just tends to be cheaper. But not always. You can not buy massive bags of peanuts in the supermarkets, and I think PetsAtHomeRus also do them loose, so you can scoop as many as you need. When ever I go through Kent I will try and go to garden centres as they often have big pet sections with such items in.

Best Christmas tip ever: THE CHOCOLATE FESTIVAL TOMORROW AND THIS WEEKEND!!!!!

Last year I bought a tub of fifty fatballs which contains lots of seeds. Got it from PetsRSmartRUsRSomething next to Wickes in Blackheath. The blue tits are basically being kept alive with them I think! They queue up on the trees to fly over and get their breakfast every morning. A big tub worked out much cheaper and they will get through them if I have to stuff them myself. Won't put any in the turkey though.

The Shard has now got lights up the sides of it looking like tall Christmas Trees. Just went past there. But I can't see them yet from 'our' side. Maybe they will put some up for our side tomorrow. I remember when the gherkin was going up, the whole thing was given green and yellow lights so it looked like a christmas tree that year. Meanwhile, I just rode past the Pinnacle and that's going to be coming into view shortly. Or rather tall-ly.

Good old Mail Preference Service; I receive none of that junk! But neither yet have I received cheques I am owed! Nice post there though computedshorty!

Hi So I was driving down to the SE15 Sorting Office today on Highshore Road and I saw Steve our postie delivering up the OPeckham Rye SE15 side. I welcomed him back. He said it was chaos down the sorting office; they had four days' worth of mail down there. And that he could only carry two days' worth today. I said, so is it worth me going down and collecting my other two days' worth, and he said yes, why not. So I did. Miserable counter staff from hell (female, 30s, and not the stocky white guy with all the tattoos - he's okay) - she told me she would have a go at Steve for telling me to come down. I said why? I am collecting my mail which I need for work, cheques, etc that he may not be able to deliver. I told her I was coming anyway and not to have a go at the poor s0d who is out in the cold delivering to us all. She looked and was able to give me some mail anyway! She said what would happen if everyone came down here to get their mail it would be chaos. I said, "Good!" because with her attitude she was rightly pissing me off. Anyway, so everyone go down the sorting office at Highshore Road if not all of your expected mail arrives today. And if I am still in When Steve delivers the mail I shall warn him of his telling off. She refused to give me her name. Why do we have such BAD service in this country yet individuals like Steve and others are working their damn socks off!

Not my point. My point was that if they broke the previous rules (which protect them from tiredness?) they would be in trouble. Now it is okay to break the rules.
