Except BFS will bale on the cup game as well (like last season), and as for resting Song and Sakho - they leave for the Africa Nations Cup (along with Kouyat?) in a couple of weeks (possibly even earlier if WH don't get an appeal to keep them a little longer accepted) and they're hardly going to come back from that rested. I'd rather he 'gave it a go' from the start (instead of resorting to "defence versus attack" for the first half) and use them as much as possible before they go.
  5. James This junction has got more dangerous since the installation of the pedestrian crossing across LL not safer. Cars coming from Goose Green wanting to turn into East Dulwich Grove and those coming down East Dulwich Grove wanting to turn left see the red light as a green light to put their foot down and make their turning before traffic resumes - they speed up to beat the lights and are concentrating on their window of opportunity so hard they miss pedestrians who are already crossing.

    random stuff

    I suspect it's a friend of Russel Howard - annoyed he didn't get the Post Office gig. Nothing on the political ramifications of Keith Lemon's scathing satire of the quasi-intellectual comedians' "back-slapping panel shows"?!?* *Or an opinion on endless jokes about tits and toilets?

  11. I have long enjoyed the mix of old graves and wild woodland that this area has become; however it came about, it should be preserved rather than destroyed or, worse, manicured like most public parks.

  13. Tbh the market IS a teensy bit crap really - lots of snacks and tat but I miss Sparkes and wish there were a few more produce stalls.

  15. I live close to NthX rd market - my experience is that the parking on surrounding streets is for all the local businesses including, but not restricted to, the market (judging by the shopping I see people returning to their cars with).
  16. If it's your first try at window sill horticulture bung in some soil, scatter over some coriander seeds (the kind you grind and use in curries etc) and loosely cover. Coriander will grow almost anywhere and will look pleasantly green and feathery/frondy even if you don't eat it. If you do eat it, let some of it flower and go to seed - those green seeds (before they dry out) are little flavour bombs.
  17. Bedworth (Bed'urth in local vernacular) - very strange and unsettling place. Most depressing - toss up between Crewe and Reading.

Cheaper still is the French guy at the Peckham Cart Project in the Aylesham Centre - in partnership with the South London 'Flour Power City' organic bakery he (and his son) sell sourdough, wholemeal, rye etc. at ?2.50 a loaf. https://www.facebook.com/PeckhamCart
  20. It's a trend innit. A tv genius/arse comes up with an idea and - unlike 100s of others similarly floated - it takes off and gets big viewing figures. Then lots of other geniuses have the idea to copy this idea and we get a glut of the same stuff until we tire of it and it dies a death. Though I'd say the 'How That Lot Live' peep-show has been a staple for years. It's whether the viewer is invited to sympathise with or condemn the subjects that has changed. Maybe the latter pov just sells more soap powder right now. Used to be docusoaps on cruise ships, airlines and tube-workers. Ah, what an innocent age it was.
  21. No suet or sultanas or apples in an Eccles filling - just dead flies.

So... given the capacity for possible lapses throughout one's life... the only TRUE Vegetarian... is a dead vegetarian?
  23. A slightly different take on the currants and flaky pastry combo are the Eccles cakes in Hirst Bakery - delicious.
  24. I'm a fan of the man and his cheeses - may come across as taciturn but if you talk to him he is friendly and knowledgeable - he has a dry sense of humour too which can be misread. Not cheap but the Brie de Meaux alone is worth the price. Snobbery my arse.
