you mean it's not a village? better retrieve my sheep from Warwick Park.

''The stinkbridge between Peckham & East Dulwich '' yes I'm afraid we had to dig that to keep the bugaboos out of Peckham village.

no we don't think of ourselves as the new East Dulwich over here in Peckham village; we think of ourselves as the new Notting Hill.

For the past few months I have been intrigued by the appearance of a small brook running along the west side of Peckham Rye Park, SE22 side. It seems to have emerged from a ditch and begins in a large puddle around a tree near that big house (the elms?). I remember someone recently posted about the area's forgotten and imprisoned rivers. Could this be one of them?

don't bring Peckham into this. We still got our self respect.

edited because it made me cross and its actually none of my business.

The Daily Mail hates women, hates breast feeding and hates 'odd bods' so no winners in this article I'm afraid.

It's all in the Daily Mail on-line today- quite a big readers response on readers comments. (I'm not a daily mail reader but look at the comments to have a laugh now and then)

ah Jah, but if the heckler in question, despite being wittily reposted, doesnt shut the **** up, as some who love the sound of their own drunken/insane/narcissistic voices won't, there comes a point where they are disrupting the evening to the detriment of everyone else. After all the audience has paid money to see/hear the people on the bill, not the lonely alchoholic in the front row. I would say if a heckler can't handle being put down, he shouldnt be in the audience.

They must have been told about what people are saying about them on the forum. My bell - Nutbrook street-has just rung and they accepted my polite refusal very politely.

blimey, Chelsea and Maida Vale above average for violence and anti social behaviour!

chris the piss is alive and well and has been using his real name of Chris Lynham for a number of years. When he is not running the Popcorn Club or touring with that famous Russian clown, he is doing gigs sometimes even with the firework.

upstairs at the EDT used to house a theatre- the ED Comedy, poetry nights, panto, new plays and also play readings, and the first very successful ED festival all run by the Steve Frost contingent. Although really popular, after fifteen years, the pub thought it more profitable to turn it into a pizza restaurant. . Then the lodge. The EDT theatre was one of the reasons we moved here from Pimlico, it being the hub of our thespian community. Luckily ED comedy itself found a new home at the Hob inForest Hill but I for one certainly miss that buzzing hub of theatrical goings on right on my doorstep- the childrens theatre workshops on a saturday, new plays, one man shows., Something similar would be brilliant- but it would have to be secure, and free from the vagaries of fortune and the changing plans of landlords.

lol

The back of the Ivy House is an original intact edwardian theatre and is already used a lot. If it became a permanent theatre space it might be lost to the many music nights and Pull The Other Once extravagant comedy and entertainments that it is home to.

I love Peckham.

Islington as a borough is a much larger area than smart Upper Street and takes in Archway, Hackney borders, some of Kings Cross, Holloway, Finsbury Park so I'm not surprised that it comes up more stabby in statistics. Finsbury Park always scared the beejesus out of me.

They still make them in Mexico Huey.

A small theatre would be brilliant! What about places that are being currently being developed like the old Wishing Well in Bellenden Road- are their any rooms there, like the old billiard room? Talking of billiard rooms, there is meant to be a beautiful delapidated one inside Peckham Rye Station- how about something like that?

Homeophobes!

We seem to be much better round our way at the moment- I have to say that if there is shit outside my house I pick it up with a carrier bag.

on the peckham rye to london bridge train, as it pulls out of one of the stations- Queens Road I think- if you look down you see a whole road of campervans and I often wonder what they are doing there. Maybe a garage?maybe a campervan hideout?

what a very sad tale all round.

what ??? said- a lot of our children have raised money for Haiti on their own intitiative, a lot of us have given to Haiti through national appeals as well as events sponsored by people we know/our schools. why should we suddenly suspend our caring for our own environment ?

If it wasnt for the plastic around the flowers, they would disintergrate/wither naturally;pollen and petals blow away ...and more poignantly represent the fragility of life...or is that a health and safety issue?
