the carol service is on at st Johns this sunday at 6pm- twelve lessons and carols. Its lovely. edited to say-Nine lessons sorry.

Oh dear Barry, it wasnt good this morning at Peckham Rye. I gave myself plenty of time to get the 10.01 to London bridge, only to find an enormous queue both at the one open ticket booth and the machine. Someone was having trouble at the machine which meant nothing moved for five minutes and someone seemed to be having a querey at the booth. There were about ten people in front of me and another five behind. It was so frustrating. I missed my train and the next one was delayed. It was my first day on a short course and I was late for it. Couldnt we have a fast response to such a situation ? I did point it out to the man sweeping. A second kiosk did open eventually, but I'd waited twelve minutes already.

Saw 'Let The Right One In' this weekend. Its a brilliant and dark Swedish film, sad, poignant, intelligent, atmospheric, haunting, mysterious, beautiful to look at, compelling, and a little bit scarey. Highly recommend. Not for the kids. Got it out on dvd.

Knox and Sollecito had been going out together for less than a week and only one of them knew Guido- Guido's dna was all over the room- and they knew him only vaguely. Do you think three people who don't really know eachother would kill someone in a frenzied attack/orgy? Do you think Knox was sophisticated/manipulative enough to destroy any evidence of herself being in that room but not sophisticated/manipulative enough to pretend to look sad or shocked after the event?. The tiny bit of forensic evidence would have been inadmissable in an english court. The knife with the dna on it didnt even match the wounds on the victim. I do think that Knox and Solecito lied to cover something up- drug use?-and by lying made themselves untrustworthy and unreliable witnesses.

I think Amanda Knox is probably a show-off and attention seeker who will now bitterly regret trying to enjoy the limelight of being the flatmate of a murder victim, which made her behaviour seem so bizzarre. I don't think she did it. I think she's been put in the frame by an untethered media who don't have the restrictions of the British press pre-trial. Being an annoying smartarse doesnt make you a psychopath.

Interesting Hal, just the kind of points I was interested in ...how different the Italian and British legal systems are and whether British law requires much more hard justification before charges can be made and prosecutions conducted. Hmmm....

Louisa, any chance of sharing your treacle sponge recipe? sounds yummy and I'm fed up of all that tsuname or whatever its called.

well the verdicts will be in some time this afternoon I believe. What do you think? Is it a bizarre array of events that should never have brought her to trial or do you think that there is no smoke without fire?

His previous convictions had been dealt with harshly by the law with hard labour, yet as soon as he was back on the streets he was committing more crime. I rest my case.

congratulations Evie, I'm going to get a copy too.

a dog chasing a cat is not unpredictable. Preventable yes, but not unpredictable.

Is it Clint again?

I don't think it's about money. He gave me a lot of his time and I didnt spend any money and he was lovely to me.

surely this guy was breaking the law by having a dog off lead in the street and could be done for that?

I heard how rude he was from others but he was incredibly nice to me, ordered samples from design guild for me to take away, and then after loads of dithering when I told him I had to put it all on hold because uphosterers said my chairs weren't worth it, he was totally unphased and OK about it. How peculiar.

Gosh, doesnt this make things a lot safer for us lot in Peckham?

any possibility it could have been a firework?

You never know Fuzzyboots, this may turn out to be a life changing wake-up call for the guy, his near death 'rock bottom'from which he can start to recover.

I don't know Lorraine, but they have got courses on offer on the wanted section of the forum so maybe there is an email address there you can contact. the wildlife centre itself looks perfect for parties but whether they are allowed I dont know.

seanmow, you could have been suffering from 'night terrors' a genuine brain/body/sleep phenomenem that causes physical paralysis while the mind is not quite asleep. Its horrible, Ive had it a few times. Google it and see if it seems familiar.

yes and it's lovely! when mine were little we spent many a happy afternoon there. Also in the hols they often do activities.
