  1. R.I.P Karl.

    I many times took my Mac computers to System Solutions just off Lordship lane, Blackwater street and if I was lucky, got a chance to sit or stand around and talk to Karl a while. Sometimes a long while. I bumped into him down lewisham way one evening late last year. Though a drag to have a breakdown, I would always look forward to the cheery welcome from he and his receptionist and though the bill would usually be a bit more than you hoped the repair was perfect and the explanation. So yesterday I was very happy to recommend Karl to my friend who lives so close by to push studios, the building Karls business was in. " Looks like its closed' I was told. Surprised I looked into it and just now found out why on an Atari forum.

    karl died suddenly in January of this year. Its a real tummy punch to find this out. He was such a nice guy. For many it's the end of an era. my somewhat late condolences to Karls family co workers and friends. Boooooh.

  2. Hi all, 3rd time now somebody has nipped up onto the pavement rally style towards me and 2 small children to get past school traffic at the top of FHR. This is just before the corner junction honor oak park road. Its scary. very instant, drivers make a quick impatient decision and try to do it quick. They know its insane before they do it. Im talking a foot away from my girls. You get to see the passengers face mainly as that side of the car is on you fast. They looked shocked too. Todays idiot had a kid in the back.

    Its always chaos up there. The people that park all over the pavement and dble yellow lines up there outside the catholic school just jam it all up. Every known and again you see a few wardens up there. Quite a few mini cabs park there too. Mum stays in back, cabdriver walks child into school. hardcore eh?

    So the corner Im tallking about is very jammed as a result of this. Fairlawn school has its own traffic so its a clash up there. Exactly where its becoming lethal.

    So, Im getting Rambo'd up about this.

    A metal barrier fence (like on the other side) might be an idea. Or a copper up there standing around.

    Or me in a suit of flashing lights and a baseball bat looking mean.


    Irony here, is theres a small cctv enforcement van just a few yards up with its camera facing the other way. Policing the bus stop and the "do not park here" bit. behind the guys back its going nuts. I mentioned it to the guy. Sadly, a dumbass robot. A droid. Hes only supposed to be watching the bits you can be fine'd on.


    When i first realised that road is actually one of the worst roads you could have schools on, the headmaster told me, its true that only when a bad accident happens will anyone take notice.


    From what ive seen it wont be an accident. Itll be a murder frankly.
