Vigil Holly Grove Friday 21st Jan 6-8 for18yo Peckham rape victim Posted by Tosca Today, 12:57PM Late last Thursday evening a woman was walking away from Peckham Rye Railway Station through Elm Grove when she was attacked and raped by 2 men who wore dark clothes and covered their faces. The Met Police are taking this crime very seriously. There will be a vigil in Holly Grove this Friday from 6-8. Please bring a candle in a jar. Dear Tosca Thank you for making the effort to share this news about the vigil on Friday, I was searching for news about this awful incident and NOTHING came up about the vigil so well done. I will now share your this update via Nextdoor. I do hope the girl is getting plenty of support from family and friends. Please also pray for her and that the two guys will be identified and put away for a very long time. www.standard.co.uk/news/crime/girl-raped-masked-strangers-peckham-rye-london-b976712

Written by Mark Farrelly ?Remember the last time someone kissed you and meant it?? Though Frankie Howerd was and still is ?one of Britain?s best-loved comedians?, he was in truth a radical, whose courage and innovation as a performer have too often been obscured by cosy nostalgia. The first stand-up to dispense with conventional punchlines and slick patter, instead he crafted stumbling, surreal streams of insecurity, based on his sense of inadequacy, disappointment and sheer unsuitability to the very job of being a comedian. In his refusal to ?do? comedy like everyone else had done, he predated fellow non-conformists such as The Goons, Python and Eddie Izzard. Howerd?s End is a two-hander exploring both the development of Frankie?s comedy, and the clandestine union which made it all possible: his extraordinary forty-year relationship with his lover, friend and anchor Dennis Heymer, whose existence was strictly guarded from the public in Frankie?s lifetime. More than simply a tribute show about a comedian who outlasted them all, Howerd?s End is also a piercingly honest love story about a relationship that tried to defy every odd ? including death. ?I knew Dennis, and I wrote for Frankie ? and this play is brilliant? ? Barry Cryer

Yes please always grateful for charity shop items.

Thank you Jellybeanz for your donation.

Earlier today I was taking a short break from printing and laminating posters for Howerd's End, grabbing a light lunch I browsed todays edition of The Metro, then turning a page a very psychedelic Mark Farrelly made me exclaim OMG! 'Jarman of delight' a terrific interview which touches on Quentin Crisp, Patrick Hamilton, Derek Jarman and last but not least Frankie Howerd. Mark is returning for a third time to our lovely community cafe this time for two nights on 12th and 13th January. So if you want to blow away the January blues and wet yourself - laughing!

The Hill Station Community Cafe, Kitto Road, SE14 5TW Frankie Howerd was one of Britain's most loved comedians for half a century. But he had a secret. And the secret's name was Dennis. This play by Mark Farrelly (Quentin Crisp: Naked Hope) takes you to the heart of Frankie and Dennis' clandestine relationship, which lasted from the 1950s until Frankie's death in 1992. It also affords a glorious opportunity to encounter Frankie in full-flight stand up mode. Packed with laughter, but unafraid of truth, Howerd's End portrays two humans' journey through closeness, love, grief, and all the other things that make life worth living. Come and say farewell to a legend...and learn the art of letting go.

Hi Chick thanks for the feedback. LOL I will be loving DJ Fat Tony at The Prince of Wales in Brixton this evening!

https://podfollow.com/1572868801/episode/051117fd65e1c54e205e98799c711370c903e1d1/view Shared as I hope this might give considerable comfort to anyone that has any addiction, is in recovery or may still have 'well being/self belief' issues. Feedback/comments most welcome. Fashion Weekly Podcast With Miranda Holder / 16. DJ Fat Tony I have just finished listening to this fab podcast, no multi tasking for the duration well apart from vaping. I am so inspired by what Tony shared, it should be compulsive listening for anyone that has any addiction or like myself is in recovery, even after three suicide attempts in 2019 (Jan 23 Jan 30 and May 7), there will NOT be a forth. What Tony shared about how he deals with the unavoidable dark thoughts we all have, is so helpful. I will never take my recovery for granted, and thank God whoever that might be that I finally have gained coping tools with a fantastic support network including zoom weekly 121 therapy. Right now I am dealing and coping well with a very significant setback. I have given up something which for 15 months was of huge benefit to my well being and unintended benefit to my local community, to continue was not an option,the second image shared here is quite relevant. If this situation had occurred during my dark period it could have tipped me over. Listening to this interview will also help me to deal with the inevitable fallout, I know positives will come out of this. Also to anyone that might dismiss any twelve step program well think again when you listen to this podcast. 28 years an addict, blew over ?1 million on a total non life, to have pulled all your teeth out with pliers, to end up with nothing and now coming up five teen years clean to finally be living again and playing at the most exclusive clubs, yet taking nothing for granted pinching yourself that you are yet again giving people the best possible party experience, your ability to reach out selflessly to help others with addiction, I applaud you from the rooftops. Also to anyone thinking of becoming a DJ listen to this masterclass on what can make you 'top tier.' Just loved your thoughts about fashion and feel even more reassured that my personal 'you are what you wear' my gender fluid fix mixing never following any trend or 'label' is so on the right track.
