  1. Roast chickens always say the same day I think I reheat (thoroughly) next day sometimes and never ran into problems.

No easy solutions. In around 2006 Peckham was the well known gang though with "the infamous shootout" as mentioned here and the other stuff. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peckham_Boys not sure what the Time Out mag movers and shakers was for - a bit strange ? Seems to be a bit of a battle going on with that wiki page if you click "view history"

There is provision in law now for stop and search. https://www.gov.uk/police-powers-to-stop-and-search-your-rights If I remember there was some opposition to these laws.

(I read the Evening Standard report on Angell/Brixton).

Yes - what was said in Parliament by Kids Company was just strange. Wonder where those grants went really.
  6. Is that Gentrification eating into the Peckham Boys land Oh dear. Edit: Of course it could be an outflanking operation against Peckham Rye.
  7. Is this linked with Kids Company folding ? (I very much doubt it myself) 2 stabbings and a shooting this week. I felt no bad atmosphere for a few years now.

I'm doing the same with an inherited house (not my choice). So are the Chinese with half of central London. But an empty house is horrible really - same as an empty pub.

Just a thought. Is relying on Chinese steel a good thing though. Surely they'll put the price up once they get a monopoly. British Steel used to be high quality IIRC

The Labour leader addressed fellow MPs as he wore a navy blue suit jacket, neatly ironed blue shirt and a properly fastened red tie. It even looked as though Mr Corbyn, 66, had trimmed his award-winning beard and his thinning grey hair."

    I thought Barnes had a bad game in SA-Wales. Joubert surpassed it all (and then ran away :) ). Owens for the final (the only Welshman in the final).

I've heard Amazon ban you if you have multiple delivery issues - just that makes me not want to use my home address. Will always be a dropbox for me now (I didn't know they existed for a long time).
  16. The answer is that it's still huge and debt itself has doubled since 2010 (that's what you are supposed to say). The charter can never and will never work - the government lies - the opposition is amateur. But it doesn't matter once ttip comes in - government then stops mattering - as the EU trade commissioner said "I do not take my mandate from the european people" :)

    Brilliant - All Blacks are in Swansea for the week (they always visit Swansea if they're in Wales) and they're being followed around by mobs of Swansea girls (especially Dan Carter). Distracting :)

I'm absolutely sure Boris already committed to Camberwell. http://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/boris-johnson-bakerloo-line-extension-to-peckhams-time-has-come-8540510.html Ok - it was at Cannes so doorstepped a bit :)

    Wales team out today for Australia match. Tipuric and Warburton, George North in the center, Anscombe full back. No Gethin (hurts us in the loose) but helps in the Scrum. Looks like they might be taking on Australia at their own game. Hope Gatland knows what he's doing (he should :) )
