If you're going from LL and travelling by bus take the 185 to a stop or two after Camberwell (anywhere along Camberwell New Road between Camberwell and the Oval) where you can get off and catch a 36 (at the same stop). If you're leaving from Peckham the 36 goes direct.

Ask Davidh, when I passed his shop the other day he was advertising some Olympic bargains - though he had painted only four and not five rings on his A-board which was either sloppy or, as a local trader, he has good reason to share your fear of being attacked by the Locog Branding-Stasi.

It's not dark yet. Although it is darker than it was earlier.

Anyone else getting this T&C box and finding it impossible to get past? Whether I 'accept' or click 'no thanks' the box blips out for a few seconds then returns. Looked on Yahoo forum and this seems to have been happening since June in the US and over here more recently (mail was fine yesterday). Any of the many IT boffins on here know what the fuck it's all about?

The rain today was smaller, drop-for-drop, than it was last week. This is okay as it means I get more in the water butt.

Nolan has to be a factor and if Rogers doesn't want him Carroll might feel that a loan season knocking in the goals at a club with a lower profile will help him regain his market value. Newcastle would feel like a backward step and if Liverpool suffer without him he could return next season under yet another new Liverpool manager (hail the conquering hero returns etc. etc.)

The Gourmet Burger Co. had their delivery at 2.30am this morning. Wonder if this is an Olympic knock-on or just sheer idiocy?

Thankyou for alerting me to the location of a skip that is not yet full... *bags stuff up and tiptoes out of door.

Okay yes, it is 'aitch' and when a Londoner says 'haitch' he/she sounds like Harold Steptoe, true, but I would gladly have everyone say 'haitch' or even bloody 'haitcha!' if only those who do so would stop saying 'of' when they mean 'have'. They even write it down ffs, 'I would of done the same thing' 'He should of known better' without seeing that that doesn't make any fucking sense. Stop it. Okay unnecessarily bile-ridden and slightly ranty but all the syrupy sweetness surrounding Boris's end-of-term fete and the Stepford feel in here has got me feeling (h)itchy lately.

Stick some unpeeled garlic cloves in with chicken, when it's roasted and resting spoon off most of the fat, squash the garlic out of the papery peel and mash into juices and scrape all residue from bottom of roasting tin, add glass of white wine and boil rapidly then add some chicken stock and stir, season to taste - no need to add flour or cream or butter.

Bit of a mish mash and a rather tedious and confused start, yet in the end a lot more charming than I expected and more rounded, not just nationalistic tub thumping.But Trevor Nelson... STFU! Why wasn't there a 'no inane commentary' option on the red button?

I think they excised the verse mentioning Marshal Wade because Wade Ceramics are not part of the Olympic Family.

To emphasise my point - love the sport just not the sackfull of shit that comes with it - just caught the last 20 mins of Japan beating Spain at Hampden Pk. with Spain doing a Holland and trying to kick lumps out of them. That was nice. And nice that it was in Scotland where they will shortly be in need of some competitive football to watch. B)

That's what I said is it? Let's scrap global sport? I am more than happy to have any amount of global sports events on my doorstep but also reserve the right to have a whinge if the staging of them pisses me off - even a little. The two things are NOT mutually exclusive, it aint an either/or thing y'see? What REALLY gets my goat is the bleating and bloody whinging of the so-called enthusiasts who bang on about miserablists spoiling their fun. If your fun can be spoiled so easily then it must be built on sandy foundations old son. If I was a huge fan of the games I would not let any amount of curmudgeonly groaning spoil one iota of it for me much less spend time attacking those responsible. I should smile at them and say "Fuck you mate, I don't care what you think I'M gonna have fun!" I might even go so far as drawing a biro tattoo of three rings on my forearm (not the whole five in case LOCOG was watching and not four 'cause Audi might want a piece of me) and wave a flag and cheer as a thousand grinning locals exhort us once more to rejoice and join in the collective grinning whilst watching the facial muscles of every newsreader and tv presentr go into a permanent rictus as they tell us all yet again how fucking amazing it all is and wheel on a 6 year old to show us all what the spirit of the games is truly all about. In short then - love the sport, think the women did a splendid job of kicking things off against the kiwis - hate the oppressive moaning of the 'Don't-spoil-it-for-me! Just rejoice' brigade. But then some people are only ever truly happy when they can point at other people and shout "There's one! He's a Games Denier!" That is how they measure the level of fun they are having.

I wondered how long it would be before the 'well-it's-here-now-so-let's-make-the-best-of-it' legions were out in force proclaiming "Just Rejoice!" And pointing fingers at those who said it was bread and circuses ("So what? Just Rejoice!") or that it cost billions too much ("So What? Rejoice you miserable fucker!") or that it was really all being run for the benefit of the Olympic Sponsors Family ("Now look sonny. I told you to fucking rejoice and stop trying to spoil it for decent honest ordinary folk!!"). Yes it will be 'fun' but so are a lot of things that are not about selling 'brand GB'. However in the spirit of not wanting to be singled out burned as an miserablist witch I agree, I'm drinking the Kool Aid, the Emperor's new wardrobe is stunning and the Mittal mess tower is beautiful and all the running and jumping will be splendid (and largely won by drug cheats). ("Don't get sarcy mate, it's for the kiddies!") Sorry, I meant... Huzzah.
