If you have a meter - make sure your cistern is functioning OK - as I had a ?500 bill due that last year - and to make it worse the whole thing was fitted in such an inaccessible way I had to get a man in.

Sorry - that's horrible losing all that stuff - I'm not insured either - always assume my flat is innocuous. You would hope some sort of Karma kicks in with these people.

AA Gill described the welsh once. "Loquacious, dissemblers, immoral liars, stunted, bigoted, dark, ugly, pugnacious little trolls" Anyone following in his footsteps needs to go some.

Half the IRA were double agents. The guy who was meant to to catch double agents was one - so were half the rest - it's heartbreaking they just couldn't have stopped it all in the 70s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force_Research_Unit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freddie_Scappaticci

Every report of this seems to repeat he met the British in 1972 - I'd guess talks were ongoing at all times - considering Thatcher said publicly she never would negotiate with terrorists - she secretly negotiated all the time - I remember the shouts of betrayal re the Anglo/Irish accord. I'm not sure who did what and when in Northern Ireland at that time any more - we can only be thankful that the Good Friday agreement was agreed by all sides - and not let this go during Brexit.

Oh FFS it's one of the few pubs on my work block list Must be a terrible place :)

At the request of Keith Miller and due to Peckhams success the EDF is about to rename itself the South Peckham Forum.

Due to Grime DJs :) Love it - Come to Peckham People.

He's got 6 jobs and he's tired. Poor guy ;)

The beggar boy who frequents Rye Lane was out of prison last week so (and asking for money) so I asked him how he coped with prison - the silence said a lot.

Photos and videos of his speech to the editorial room going around. A few people especially one lady look horrified.

And by then we'll have the Coal Line :)

It's the brain fart (excuse the language)that frightens me about cycling around lorries.

I hardly noticed it was down :) Edit: Meant as a compliment and thank you
