Hi, we are called Testcard F and we are playing our first gig (for more than 30 years!) at the Amersham Arms in New Cross, directly opposite New Cross station. Only £8 for 5 bands in total. Our synthpop stuff is a bit like Depeche Mode crossed with Sparks with a dash of OMD. Tickets available here: https://www.theamershamarms.net/6th-february/tickets And here's our latest video shot in a house in ED. Do come down and say hello! Just adding, this is Tuesday 6th Feb!

I can't wait for this!

The next appearance of Note-Orious choir will be at The Great Exhibition pub, today, Sun 21st Dec 2014, 5pm

I'm a member of this fab choir. Term started last Monday 8th, but it's not too late to join. We're looking for male singers, ie basses and tenors. There are no auditions. Simply come along for one Monday night free taster session and see if you like it. Email us on [email protected]

I saw this feller this morning making his way up the path to platform 1 of East Dulwich station. About 2 inches long. Google tells me its a Sycamore moth caterpillar.

Can't wait to see the Zaltzster...

Now it's official... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-25888992

Yes, I saw one today. Kinda cute.

My favourite bit of the solidwoodkitchen website is down at the bottom of the home page, headlined "We can supply kitchens in the following areas..." Oh, and if you are reading this rendy01 - fuck off.

For years I watched the Matrix films thinking the lead character was called Neil...

If you think you're running out of time to buy some chocolate decorations for the Xmas tree, don't worry; the Co-op on Lordship Lane has some for sale. FFS

Right, that's it. I'm now definitely an atheist.

I'm no expert, but I suspect the inspiration was The Linley Sisters by Thomas Gainsborough. I could be wrong.

How do I make "lmgtfy" work?

I hate antisocial behaviour as much as the next person. But I must say I'm impressed with slims' response. A bit defensive at first but willing to explain himself and slip in a little apology. Maybe slims and Jaws can exchange PMs and perhaps get together over a cup of tea. They could discuss how what seems like normal behaviour to one is extremely annoying to the other. And vice versa. Now if you'll excuse me I'll leave it there; I have to go and sort out the Middle East.

Could it have been a white parrot?

You're absolutely right of course. Many media coal-face workers at the bottom end of the scale are treated appallingly in the indie sector; runners, researchers, asst producers - that kind of level. I think I was aiming my arrows of so-called "wit" at commissioning editors who earn 6 figures to decide that we want to see more property shows.

They're making a TV show about property? Can't wait to see that! Some people dare to say that meeja types are lazy overpaid cokeheads with as much imagination as a wilting stalk of rhubarb. But it's news like this that restores one's faith in the television industry. When's it going to be on?

I would urge everyone to watch the "making of" video just below the advert. It's safe to assume that the brief was to show that interparcel.com offers a web-based door to door parcel delivery service which is more convenient than going to the post office. So they film a bloke going to the post office in the rain. Then they cut to a bloke in the warm indoors who does the same job with his laptop using interparcel.com. The number of "creatives" involved: 2. It's people like this who are in danger of giving advertising a bad name.

Despite the doorstep sales people, the tree cutters, the walkers of aggressive dogs and the sinister clowns, East Dulwich in my head always looks like this. http://i55.tinypic.com/333vmzo.jpg And it sounds like this:
