Memories! Christmas Lunchtime pint in there, circa 1979, when I was a Walworth Road Boy...

Presumably this works in reverse. Next time( one can only hope) that an attractive Lady grabs my head firmly on each side and pulls me "Down South" I shall fend her off and punch her, squarely, in the face. Thanks for the advice.

Very good explanation BB. I think I was sidetracked by growth in other areas by a comment my girlfriend made, at the time. That will teach me to focus...:)

I agree we need as much information as possible northlondoner. Your points are valid. There can be "exceptions" though! 20 years ago "my" area was not Multi-Cultural at all and Betting Shops in my locality were getting robbed by 3 Guys who did not fit the description of 99.9% of the local residents, so stood out accordingly, and were apprehended more quickly than they otherwise would have been.( My M8 was a Betting Shop Manager, he contacted The Police when 3 Guys visited and stayed in his shop and his suspicions were aroused and it transpired that they WERE doing some "research" into his shop and that was done purely on colour of skin. They were convicted of the other robberies. Move the story on by 5 years and HSBC and 1/2 other local Banks in my area were "done" again by Guys who "stood out" and I "assume" that might have been a factor in their early capture.

Nice work Vickster!>:D

My slim and rather slender workmate Stephen M. stayed at my South London Flat one night after a drinking session after work and we slept in my double bed. He was straight but teased me about "how do you know you won't like something unless you try it!", trying to imply that he batted for the other side so I "tested" him. I crept out of bed and got a 10 inch Bamboo Stick,that I just brought back from Majorca, smuggled it into the bed and when his back was turned I shoved it right up his jaxie and boy! did he run and run:)) finally locking himself in the loo.... He never gave me that advice again, for some reasonB)

Overall I love being 54 as every age as its compensations. However, every age has its "frustrations" as well. I've been interested in criminality since the late 1960's and at least, then, people did give a description of the suspect(s) and "we" realised "in addition" to the usual rogues/bounders/bad eggs in an given area at any given time that "we" had a particular current problem as criminals were especially prevalent in our area at that time. So "we" wanted the best description possible, even if it was "only" skin colour as "every little bit" helps. In an area of Bristol recently there was a contemporary problem about cyclists getting "jacked" en masse and finally descriptions were given and 2 large gangs (one Somalian and 1 Jamaican) were identified. This helped cyclists to be more vigilant and I very much doubt if any of those cyclists immediately stigmitised "all" Somalians/Jamaicans in that area but it did help. When will "some" eople realise that by NOT releasing any description for fear of causing upset, that they are efeectively protecting the thugs/scammers/lowlife in our Society. I know criminals laugh their socks off at the fact that their chosen circle of victims would, sometimes, not even proffer a description for fear of causing offence and like ANY criminal I would think they are "mugs" and deserve all they get. Problem is though, that this also means that others, unfortunately, also get "all they get" as well because some victims have not been as forthcoming with any description as they could have been. Anyone who fails to disclose descriptions, where possible, is, unintentionally, complicit and only adds to the problem imo. Yes! "Think" indeed! but THINK about giveing as clear a description as possible. p.s Sorry I spelt "givEing" wrongly, as immediately above.

As Craig said: "Either Jowell did not notice she was living with a major criminal - in which case she is far too stupid to be a minister - or she was complicit - in which case she is far too corrupt to be a minister. No ifs or buts are possible. Only when Mills was exposed to the media did Jowell abandon her husband - sacrificing her marriage for her political career. If she had remained loyal to him it would have at least been some slight saving grace. In fact the woman is a total disgrace.".......

I thought Tessa was totally pre-occupied trying to make the London Olympics, the totally equal Olympics in that she wants Male-Synchronised Swimming and Female Boxing. Sure the'll be a great Worldwide interest in Male Synchronised Swimming...

Never trust a person who continually says "to be honest"...

If an attractive Woman knows there are other Women around, then ignore her calls...... p.s. Shame I haven't always been strong enough to put this "theory" into "practice" as sometimes I crumble, "just in case".

Fascinating article Huguenot.

Morning Kel! Whatever you're on, can I have some too, please, Babe?..B)

One of my GREAT music regrets is never seeing Rory playing 3 million notes a minute:)) I would have loved it and can't understand how I missed out.I used to see a couple of his Band playing at The Half Moon which was good. Also. what a fabulous Human Being Rory was! Modest, talented, friendly, down-to-earth unlike some of the poseurs one occassionally encounter who are erudite, cogent, literate and articulate but worth diddly squat as people.

If you like Rock, I bet you wish that had attended this Gig that I have just seen on You Tube: "Rory Gallagher - Bullfrog Blues"......5 minutes of a Masterclass in how to please and engage your audience from one of the Guitar Greats! Rory Gallagher-Man Of The People. R.I.P.
