Ah yes DM there was rapture this morning. Indeed Hurrah for spring and the return of the tyre.

I have been doing some running around the local parks and I'm sad to say that Dulwich park has the least friendly runners. In Brockwell Park you get the most Hellos and smiles from other runners. Peckham Rye is quite friendly too but the worst of all is Dulwich. Come on other runners in Dulwich Park! Smile back. Go crazy and say good morning. It's not the tube you know! Does anyone here smile when they run round Dulwich Park?

ive seen that poodle. the bloke walking it has white hair too is that the one?

napkin or serviette? pudding or afters? shagging or doing it? i do love a good conundrum.

Lucky you Keef. Maybe i'll get lucky and see you there. If you like the pumpkins I reckon you'll love the Arcade Fire. Indietastic is what they are. A bit like the pixies with more whoo whoos. Also have a female vocalist as well as a male one. She sounds a bit like Bjork. On stage when I saw them they had 2 brass instruments, a full sized organ, a double bass, and an accordian. as well as yer usual expected instruments. A nice bit of quiet load quiet VERY LOUD kind of themes running through their songs. And bonkers lyrics about Jesus, cars, babies, vampires..... it's all good.

Where has the tyre swing gone from Dulwich park? It was my kids favourite thing. Alas.

On wednesday morning by the florist at the bottom of lordship lane I got asked to do a vox pop on what one thing would improve the NHS. I thought the crew might have been students though so i'm not holding out for my 15 minutes of fame.

i think she lives in cornwall as she owned a B&B i once stayed in there. maybe she's visiting as she's heard it's so nice.

Administrator! please get the apostrophe out of the title of this thread it's driving me round the bend I'll be urinating in my own garden next!

Well Clare- What did you think? Sorry you couldnt make it Kathryn

Totally fair. Perhaps all patrons who have had a nights sleep should offer to share their table with the children, leaving the parent/guardian to quaff the complimentary beverage in peace at a table alone with a newspaper.

I agree damn the cats and the foxes and their harassment of my garden. Fractionater- Next time you lay a new law, can it be to abolish this continual abuse of apostrophes?

Who else is going? I'm going tomorrow night. Will i wait for a quiet bit and then shout 'DO YOU POST'?

Keef and Ms Bullock get my LOL awards.

DM, As well as a MUM, do you now consider yourself a MILF too?

Mr piers Are you making oblique 80s references? Now all these moments must pass in time like posts on the interweb

the grey boxes are proposed parking meter sites

What about Jack's Cafe? Some space for pushchairs and great food. Staff really nice not moody like Blue mountain. cheese block people never smile at me either. But the Cheese lady with her van on Friday is very friendly. what's all this about hot chicks? Perhaps fractionater should get himself down battersea zoo if it's young animals he needs to find. and whats a milf?

Yes. Agree. Top of extermination list should be Razorlight. Jeremy is right. Could their lead singer be more annoying?

Another 80s fan here. you cant beat the Cure. Also love the Feeling. wot about his M&S ads? very nice Nick Cave at Brixton last year was one of the best things I've ever seen or heard. Except perhaps for S&G in Hyde park altho we kept ruining it for everyone else by singing along. Hard not to!

O. Just realised there already is such a thread. i'll get my coat.

I'm just listening to it too. Got it in Peckham Woolworths. Love the Fire. Love the Academy. saw Guillemots there a few weeks ago. Do we need a separate thread for Indie lovers in ED? Love Snow Patrol but his voice goes a bit wonky when live I think.

lovely use of music to illustrate your point Keef

to keep the moths away. thats what the council tree people say. moth larva eat the trees
