  1. When the news of Bolan's fatal crash broke, someone burgled his house (according to London Babylon)

  4. 1. Isn't it amazing no one was found to be claiming too few expenses? 2. How much did Blair get? 3. When are we going to get round to the MEPs and councillors? 4. Why aren't I watching the rugby?
  5. Here's a piece about teh wildlife what I wrote for Dulwich on View if anyone's bored

BUT honestly its > not a high priority compared to other more > pressing casework. I'm sorry to bang on... well I'm not actually. Yet again, I would hesitate a guess that you don't know how much the mag costs. I suggest it is north of 50p a copy delivered. That's around ?50,000 a month. I'd say that is 'pressing casework'. This is at a time when paid for print media is struggling like never before made worse by the lack of local government advertising and the competition Southwark Life might constitute.
  8. I'll have one more go. Would you kindly let us know what that magazine costs to produce, print and deliver? Would you tell us chapter and verse whether the council is compelled to spend a certain amount on publicising its services? Could you also tell us who writes the fake letters in the front?
  9. If you're obliged to broadcast your services then we can't take this any further. If however you aren't then a poster nailed to a message board on Goose Green would be more acceptable and a deal cheaper than this vacuous magazine. The shiny happy people inside it belie the desperate state of social services. Don't let us have to read 'cash strapped' Southwark council anywhere ever again.

  11. Sorry Mr Barber, I'm not having that. Many residents, maybe thousands put this unread and expensive propaganda rag straight in the bin. It's junk mail, like a pizza flyer. I know how much magazines cost to produce and deliver and seemingly you do not. They are even more costly to us when they are dumped in piles by the side of the road. We pay to have it produced, then we pay to have it carted away. Perhaps you could let us know just how much. This month, we have the additional benefit of a 12 page full colour magazine advising young entrepreneurs how to start a business. I doubt Southwark Council would have any idea how that's done.
  12. Dear Mr. Barber Could I refer you to this thread which has been buried in the lounge. Every time I pick up the Life mag from the doormat and pop it in the bin, I am reminded how profligate this council is.
  13. Boris and I agree on something. To quote Ian Dury, What a waste. I saw two bundles of these laying in Crystal Palace Road the other day, so even those charged with pushing it through the door don't think it's worth delivering.
  14. The underground danceterias rock but you have to have lived here ten years before anyone will tell you where they are

  16. Those boys stopped someone nicking my bike a while back. Full marks
  17. Nisha is smiling ear to ear and thanks the thread's posters for their support. Power to the people
  18. Nisha tells me that the council arrived last night and gave her 20 minutes to move all the veg back to the window or suffer its wrath, a display that as far as I can recall has been that way for twenty odd years. Still, making her shop shrink its obtrusive display area should give a struggling Sainsbury's a much needed opportunity to establish a better foothold in the local market.
  19. Watching a porn movie and thinking, 'Mmmm, that bed looks comfy.'
  20. Would what you wrote be a good gift idea?
  21. Father O'Connor has his pager turned on 25/7. He is called out to administer the last rites at Kings sometimes as often as three times a night, which for a man of a certain age is tough. Delivering his post would be doing him a service. Tarring him with the same brush is probably not.
  22. No it's not the Serengeti
  23. My blog covers this very topic. Sales of London Babylon are jogging along especially after a chat with Robert Elms last week but I'm coming to the conclusion that going it alone is daft unless you've got endless free time and aren't prone to depression
