Five years ago the noise disturbance was delivery lorries and horny residents around Burrows Rd having sex too loudly. If only we had a genuinely successful, passionate and local sports team on our doorstep who don't go to bed before the watershed, then we could really complain. You buy a house close to a sports stadium, you buy the conditions attached to that. Blame your surveyor - do mot whinge to your councillor.

Tickets at Selhurst Park only ?10 for adults and ?1 for children this Saturday for Palace Vs Reading; it's 'Family Day.' Only a couple of thousand left though so you'll need to be quick. You'll also need a ST holder reference to buy them over the phone - happy to provide mine by PM to anyone who wants to go along. Palace are playing some fantastic football at the mo - the entry fee alone covers the joy of seeing Wilf Zaha tears strips out of whichever poor left back he's up against.

Ever since I started driving/walking along Camberwell Grove some 6 years ago, I've always noticed and admired a classic 1960s Mk 1 maroon Mini that was usually parked about 2/3 of the way down the hill on Camberwell Grove. It really was a fine example and was completely original; externally at least. I hadn't seen it in a while, and has assumed that it had been sold or worse, was subject to probate. However flicking through a classic mag this evening I spotted a picture of it- apparently it was stolen sometime over Christmas. It's a crying shame that such a wonderful little thing has been taken from it's owner. As anyone who has owned and lost a classic car will tell you, the insurance payment covers the nuts and bolts but never the sentimentality. Just thought I'd share as like me, you may have been wondering what happened to it! The article states that if anyone has any info as to its whereabouts they should contact the owner, Dr. Spoto, on 07881 622032 (as it's already in the public domain I don't think there's any harm in sharing the number).

I'm sure The Ivy in Nunhead has comedy nights, though I'm not sure whether this is Friday or Saturday. (?)

i disagree that these odds are out because of a lack of info. it'd be relatively easy to calculate probability of a result, based on average swing as per political polls; which in any case are sufficiently sophisticated these days as to narrow to postcodes. any aberration from this would be detected very rapidly by abnormal betting patterns, i.e. a preference of money bet on an outcome other than its ratio of probability would dictate. if the above is not the case than the bookie is lazy and deserves to be taken to the cleaners!

a thoroughly decent (or for that matter crap and dingy) gig venue. it's enormously perturbing to hear friends living in gypsy hill boasting that ash are playing on their doorstep. there are no good live music venues in south london (bar perhaps the amersham arms, new cross), and i've got far too many grey hairs to drag myself up to camden these days.

twas i, fifty quid.

abybody venturing out on the drag this afternoon to watch this one? edt probably best bet, especially as it doesn't clash with anything in that other, more inferior 'premier' pish-posh league.

We won't go > anywhere else for our t-bone steaks or ham. i would second this- possibly the friendliest shopkeeper ever, to boot! living just off rye lane, i have to say that i've never actually used any of the butchers down there. the other half was put off when she saw chicken 'juices' flowing freely onto fish. i'm not entirely comfortable with their presentation; people eat with their eyes, after all. doesn't mean i never will buy something- in fact i think i'll do it this week...

hmm, must pop in and see this 'new' prince albert. as for the brasserie - there is still a hint as to it's former name; you'll see a small peck ex logo on the walls. alas it always seems to be empty. it's a shame, because i think it's a great spot, and was really a forerunner in the bellenden regeneration project.

i popped in with my mum a couple of weeks ago. we ordered ice cream which was very tasty, however i can also confirm the above waiting times. i think it took around 20 mins... luckily it was a hot day and we didn't mind. i'm not a veggie so doubt i'd go regardless, but i do wish them well.

i've been nipping in to the montpelier, as they always seem to be showing the tennis.

someone's busy...

if you have rec'd a parking ticket in the controlled parking zone around bellenden road (like me!), i would strongly recommend that you challenge it. the cpz is legally unenforceable as the signage at various entry points is missing/incorrect. for example on the main drag into the controlled zone along peckham rye, the twits at the council have put the sign the wrong way round- stating that the zone ends, rather than begins. you don't even need to trapse about taking photos- the evidence is on google maps! legally, there have to be two signs clearly visible from 45m at all entry points and as such any tickets received for being on yellow lines can be cancelled!
