In my innocence, when the article said he "mounted the pet" I thought we were back in taxidermy territory...:)) Perhaps he/she could be employed in Peckham Rye Park to whip the feckless dog owners into line...B)

Hello! I'm Julian and this is my friend Sannnnnnnnnndy!

Anyone else remember the "House of Wally" on Northcross Road?:)

That's Laffin' Phil Spectre in a syrup innit?!

"A Serpent Smile"? (sorry!)

I think her career peaked at the time I used to drive past her poster over the A4...

jousting knights :))

The boats seem to be far too large for the lake - they look like they might helped at the relief of Dunkirk in fact. There's still loads of waterfowl though.

"bellend" = feller-me-lad/arriviste from the wrong side of Grove Vale? B)

motor car railway station refrigerator trendy terpsichore spam fritter....

Milk Stout! lager and black (which looks/looked and tasted like cherryade) and I remember a night in college once when I got very drunk on Jack Daniels Manhattans...

I too adore the photos, but continue to have a gnawing suspicion that the Underhill Road one was printed back to front? The shots of the Odeon cinema and the demolition of the Lordship Lane railway bridge are almost heart-breaking!

In Peckham Rye Park this morning and saw Ms Mallard swimming around the island with her ten (count 'em, ten!) fluffy ducklings. They are cute but of course she will be lucky if 3 or 4 make it to maturity. Mother Nature can be one hard-faced bitch sometimes...There was a heron at each end of the island but neither at that time showed any interest. Interestingly, 9 of the ducklings were the usual dark brown shade, but the 10th was more a golden brown, cafe-au-lait..

As a Hemingway fan I am familiar with 1 or 2 choice Spanish insults involving "thy mother's milk".... OK the final is being shown simultaneounsly on BBC1 and ITV. I reckon the ratings will be something like 7:1

Give him a copy of K. Whitehorn's "Cooking in a Bedsitter"

Well Elvis Presley claimed it was Roy Orbison...

Yes,to the first, but an emphatic "No!" to the second part. Tried Elsantas from Sainsbury's years go and they tasted of nothing. :)

Interesting. I have had them year after year from Pretty's and they have always more flavoursome than anything from the supermarkets. A couple of weeks back I had a punnet whose contents were still firm and juicy after a week in the fridge (postponed eating them because the few in the garden had ripened :))): never had a watery one from there either.:)

Why keep mentioning rugby so approvingly - a game effectivly invented by a guy who was cheating at football?

But why go into the Co-op for fresh strawberries when Pretty's are selling such amazing high quality ones??

.....Looking in Trupenny's window today my flabber was well and truly gasted to see that the ugly excrescence on the corner of Overhill & Underhill has apparently been sold...

Interesting. Shame about the "blonde" misquote :))

There was no goal. It never existed. The only way to score a goal is to get the ball into your opponent's net. It's a basic principle, set in stone, toasted in blood etc etc

Hard cases make bad law. What if he were a yard off the line? or 2? Red card and penalty is appropriate and proportionate
