Huggers

He's got a great myspace page too.

well the dulwich ukulele club are doing their crimbo thing there too that night so it probably is.

Huggers- the continental pronunciation of my welsh surname.

Ive said this before on this thread re dog poo in Goose Green-the dogs in the people only area are usually the scary dogs/akitos/staffies with the scary owners and the muzzles-but who is going to tackle them? the 'twilight barking' brigade who have regularly exercised dogs at around 5.30 in the evening on Goose Green have begun to decamp to Peckham Rye to get away from them.

Somebody opened a storecard in my name and spent a thousand pounds on underwear in about five minutes. They had merely looked up my name on the electoral roll to match it up with something they had stolen from someone else in the same surname and assigned my address etc in their application form. The first I knew about it was when threatening bills and letters arrived at a subsequent address I had moved to. First, I established with the store (army and navy)that my date of birth and that given by the card user were different to build up a clear picture that it wasnt me. Then I got them to put it in writing that it wasnt me and to write a letter that i could put on file in case of any credit rating problems in the future. I think this probably was all done by the firm they used to handle their storecards and debts. I think that going straight onto the offensive, making the store take the blame for giving credit so quickly, demanding more action on their part and threatening them with legal action really helped. but...this was a few years ago and i know the picture of fraud has changed a lot. They were simpler times and in all communication I managed to talk to a human not an automized machine.

my mistake! . Good work jaytyger, keeping the pressure up.

Gurkhas now have the right to settle in the UK after the high courts verdict last week. I believe.

didn't pick up their dog poo?

junction of Adys/Crystal palace roads with East Dulwich Road. This gives you about thirty seconds to cross the road on the green man. The young and fit have to jog, God knows what the elderly and hesitant have to do. And this is a crossing close to a school used by schoolchildren. Years of complaints have fallen on deaf ears. Another Instance of gobsmacking lethal driving, this week in my residential street, unlocking my car on road side, I flattened against car to let another car pass, car drove more or less at me and I had to hop round the bonnet to get out of the way. I was just thinking 'that must have been in my imagination' when the car, having passed me, screeched to a halt, opened window and passenger laughed maniacally. Death Race 2000 was on the telly last week, any connection?

you mean pawly.

oh thanks, I will.

I was one of the people who got a puncture in Nutbrook street the same morning and have a ten year old Polo. Then when I went off to get a new tyre(once the RAC had fitted the temporary spare) all in a tizz I dropped my car key between my door and doorstep where it got completley jammed and jammed the front door, and I couldnt release the car key or open the front door...but then could- and inadverdently ever so slightly bent the key so that when I arrived home late last night after work and went to lock the car, the key jammed in the car lock and then David came out to help but then managed to make it so the car door not only was jammed but was jammed open, it wouldnt even close, with they key sticking out. So the RAC had to rescue me again and it was the same man as the day before but at two in the morning. Sorry am I boring you.....

yellow with an RAF circle on it.

My friend Julie who lives opposite Rusking Park says a large (RAF?)rescue helicopter landed in the middle of said park in the night with a patient for Kings Hospital and that it was much noisier than your normal helicopters- making a huge racket warming up to take off again. Could it have been this one?

Yes indeed MadWorld, at least there may now be an upside to my playing.

I was practising my accordion in front of friends I wanted to impress when a mouse came out from behind the skirting, tottered up to my feet and dropped dead.I was the last to realize what had happened and thought all the dropped jaws were ones of admiration for my playing.

Best and most reasonable veggie brekkie and yummy bubble and squeak.

I was on 37 bus saturday 7pmish or bit later when at Herne Hill it got totally stuck and then diverted in mayhem of police vans, cars and sirens and fast moving big 'groups' of young men. I'd assumed it was a firework up a sheep's bum incident but now it all mkes sense.

The garage in East DUlwich Road has had its pin pad removed for security checks- its the old fashioned sign your name business at the moment.

Five minutes ago and probably still as I write, there is a man with two husky type dogs plus an alsation in the dog free area. That's a lot of potential poo. My dog got freaked out straight away as one of the huskies ran towards him (he is a bit of a drama queen) and he left the park at full speed into adys road. Luckily a brave passer by grabbed him. I did shout 'you are in the dog free area' .

most of the dog walkers thought the roundabout fenced area was a good idea- in fact we suggested it.Its the bit least used by everyone else.

Have to add, have just received very nice message/apology from their manager about this and am looking forward to revisiting.

Leonard Cohen was transcendentally brilliant and there were lots of surprising and wonderful revelations for this old bird such as Rachel Unthank and the Winterset and Sons and Daughters. Everything else was merely fantastic.

If you contact Southwark they will come and put blinkers on the light outside your house so it no longer shines directly in. Theyve done this on request to most houses on Nutbrook Street and it's much better.
