I am glad I make you laugh! I thought getting back into tiny shorts and showing off rock hard abs was supposed to be serious business ;) AJ

Poor tree down in Peckham Rye Park this morning near the little bridge between the Oval and the Japanese Garden. Got to say that there was a right mess in the park early today but the council workers were out in force clearing it up and making it safe for all. Paths were being cleared very quickly. :)

Hi Everybody Can't believe it's almost November already! It's that time of year again when the ladies want to fit into little black dresses for Xmas parties and look great in New Years photo's. And we've got a special offer on an intensive 6 weeks programme to help you get slim and look great. You can choose either 2 or 3 sessions per week plus diet & nutrition help including meal plans and recipes/cooking tips if you need them. Prices from ?325/?450. And if you train with a partner you can make a greater saving. As always your first meeting is a free consultation where we go over your goals and decide if this training is right for you. This can be done at your home, or in one of our many lovely local cafes. This offer is only for those who are serious and committed to getting into shape as it requires a lot of hard work and dedication but the results are worth it if you really want to see a change. Only available times remaining are some day times and weekends. Training can start from 4th November until last booking start date 13th January. Great idea for a Xmas present if you know somebody who has been thinking of getting in shape! :) For more info please PM me here or you can email direct on [email protected]. Tel: 07532168273.

I used to be a software and web designer before becoming a personal trainer and I have done some sites for self employed friends so if anybody with a small business who needs a simple web site designed (as my time is limited for these projects) then you can contact me through the forum here and I will be happy to show you previous web design work. Simple doesn't just have to be plain pages - it can include online shop, contact forms, maps, pictures and training on how you can take ownership of your site to make future amendments yourself. AJ

Hi Everybody I would like to say a big THANK YOU to those who booked in for our Live Love Local special offer in July and August. 10% of booking costs went to the Myeloma UK Charity to help provide much needed care for those affected with this type of cancer. This has allowed our fundraiser Sana to exceed her target of ?2000 which is just wonderful news. Sana was a client of mine last year who was getting in shape for her wedding and I got to know her quite well so it was sad news to hear that her Mum had been diagnosed with this cancer. If you would like to know more about Myeloma or help raise more then please visit the Just Giving page here https://www.justgiving.com/SanaKidwai If you would like to know more about the Live Love Local discount scheme for East Dulwich you can visit the page here http://www.livelovelocal.net/ I will keep you posted of more special offers which come up in the future to help raise funds for charity. Many Thanks AJ

The central filter lane is also often used by cars trying to cut in too early (in both directions). There have been many hairy moments as I cycled into the correct filter lane then saw a car speeding up into the same one trying to cut to the corner or get out of the other lane too quickly. It's an odd shaped junction I think for lights or roundabout but as the school is on this stretch and the train station there are many pedestrians so I'd really like to see some effective traffic calming measure in place. My vote would be for chicanes as I believe they work very well (better than speed humps) but as this is a "main road" I don't know what the criteria for calming measures are. And I don't know how many accidents have to take place before they take it more seriously.

This area here has seen a few accidents recently and just further up by Dulwich College on the College Road/Dulwich Common intersection the barriers were mangled a few weeks ago too. I am very careful going along this road as school kids also come whizzing out of the park on their bikes onto the road without looking. Being a pedestrian is not always easy either as the crossing outside Dulwich Park is for some reason not always spotted by drivers speeding down this stretch.

We cannot speculate on who or what has caused this accident but this corner is a hot spot for accidents and I think something needs to be done. I use this stretch of road most days. Only a few weeks ago as I passed there was an overturned car in somebody's garden and frequently the bollards and barriers on the pavements are bent out of shape which I can only image is caused by vehicles crashing into them. My thoughts are with both the driver and cyclists family. Such a terrible tragedy.

I also agree.

We had our 2 cats groomed recently by Nina and we were very pleased with the service. Both of our cats have very different personalities and when it comes to grooming one of them is not a happy cat! But Nina's professional approach made sure we had 2 happy cats at the end of the day and less fur flying around our house in this heat. We definitely recommend 'hare of the Cat'. :)

Scotch bonnet chutney sounds amazing!

As a fellow PT, I can highly recommend Martin if anybody is looking for a male trainer in the area. AJ

Have you passed your test now? :) I'll be needing a driving instructor soon (so my other half keeps telling me).
