I like the pizza at SLA. Peckham's Gowlett's is good too.

I think think these people need a lot more taxpayers' cash throwing at them.A long stretch at Her Majesty's Pleasure does not come cheap.

Heard a group of young hipster types In SLA168 tonight bemoaning the gentrification of Bellenden. Kitted out in Skinny jeans , man bags, asymmetric hair, single speed bikes they were. Peckham's Hoxton sans (as many) twats I tell you.

Sad to see the special stuff decline in quality. Some will remember an earlier thread where blood was shed arguing about the fabulousness of the burgers. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30,650901,675014#msg-675014

David Good calls. Sabbath have many great intros, but Supernaut is possibly the greatest. Whole lotta Rosie for Acdc I reckon. Try also Accept's Fast As A Shark for the birth of Speed metal. And Motorhead's Overkill live for the birth of thrash. Or back to Sabbath that might have been Symptom of the universe, another soul darkeningly good intro. Heavy makes me happy, metal makes me mean.....

La Grange ZZ top Low down dirty blues.

The 21 years can be extended if the person is considered dangerous to the public . Breivik will never be released.

What's the bike shop look like? I saw the dread words "custom bike" on the sign, which suggests it's for fixie/bullhorn/fakeenger types.

Cadel Evans. Reminiscent of LeMond. Staggering. And Cav looking like a shoe in for the Green.

Is he still going? Amazing.

Oh, and Chapeau!

Best Tour for a long time. The times up the mountains suggest it's one of the cleanest too. The stage today was mental. And Cavendish is through his mountain hell intact. He's up there with the greatest athletes this country has produced. Unbelievable

Fury for me. He's very awkward and powerful. There's talk today of the winner going up against V. Klitschko. That one has a whiff of Dunn/Ali about it.

I've heard Khan is a decent chap from people who have met him. But this statement is ill advised. And anyway Froch is the best British fighter by some way. His record is world class.

I paid for my jab. Not a problem. I expect to pay for prescription drugs. they're not free at A&E. It's just that others pay for you.

there's a walk in medical centre in Peckham here: http://peckhamgpwalkin.co.uk/ I got a tetanus injection there on a sunday a few months ago

Interesting subject for your first posts Hookey and Urban Gardener. There is of course no proposal to fill WG with play equipment. Everyone is committed to keeping the park as an open space. The Friends have supported some very small additions to the park: the log circle is in an area barely used prior to its establishment; and the orchard was planted by local people and is widely supported by users. It is true that Southwark wanted to put a lot more play equipment in the park. But the Friends have fought hard against these plans and now have got to the point where what's proposed is the small scale and sensitive addition of a few play pieces that will in no way detract from the open, green and pleasant space that WG is. The notion that the Friends are "pandering to the exclusive interest of one group" is a slur that i'd ask you to withdraw. Or failing that, come and make the same point at the public meeting on 27 June and we can discuss your point of view face to face.

Don't mess with Runners. And don't call runners joggers. We're sweaty. We don't feel pain. And we're fit with it.

Damning. Not surprising though. I thought his volte face on Iraq was rather deranged

"...a shame" Or a disgrace perhaps. It seems that particular "policy" is there as a fig leaf for the reality that non-catholics are blocked from attending this state school. The school puts an onus on the level of a five year old's devotion too, stressing the importance of "The strength of ..... commitment to practice of The Catholic Faith as demonstrated by the regularity of the family's Mass attendance on Sundays and evidenced on the Supplementary Form by parents/carers. This evidence must be endorsed by a priest at the church(es) where the family normally worship and from whom the school will seek a reference. ?Applications will be ranked in the order shown on the Supplementary Form Firstly those who attend Mass weekly, secondly those who attend Mass most weeks etc."

'some fundamental questions of the abuse of power, relations with the establishment and the police, the role of a free press in society etc. ' Yeah so frig all really. Bloody BBC.

Seamus Milne has particularly loathsome views.

The Farringdon bog roll has many faults. But occasionally it is magnificent. This is one such occasion.

No: this is serious stuff. Murdoch has closed the NoTW, the PM has called for the PCC to be shut down, and his one time right hand man has been arrested. Them is the facts
