"Police have confirmed a double stabbing and another male suffering from a head injury, after an incident in Nunhead this afternoon, Sunday August 12. Police were called at 4:30pm to reports of an altercation in Belfort Road, Nunhead, close to the junction with St Mary?s Road. Officers and the London Ambulance Service attended." https://www.southwarknews.co.uk/news/double-stabbing-and-man-with-head-injuries-after-incident-in-nunhead-this-afternoon/

You can do it in moderation, but it's frowned upon, especially as we're currently 'guests' of Tooting & Mitcham and they rely on bar takings to help with the upkeep.

Good for me

Annie's up for it too.

Indeed. "They got things done" are the four most important words there. If they can't do that, I don't care about their political affiliation.

Good lord! A blast from the past!

The Ofo bike chained up on our road for weeks has now been reported to the council as having been dumped.

Most countries know that some form of protectionism is crucial for economic development, despite what neo-liberal economics says. Fair trade does not necessarily equal free trade. The British Empire only sang the praises of free trade once it began to dominate markets, in part thanks to protectionist measures at home. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2008/sep/09/eu.globaleconomy

Hmmm, the heatwave makes it sound more like cracking in the subsoil and below due to the moisture content decreasing ? which is the cause of most London subsidence. And birch roots are very shallow. Further investigation need, I think.

There's one of those bikes chained up outside our house. The Ofo bike people say they're not supposed to be left chained up and they'll come and retrieve it. It's been there for about five weeks, so I've given them one last warning to pick it up or I'll report them to the council for dumping it.

The landowner pays. These flytippers know that if they don't dump on public land, they don't really have to worry about the law.

The only councillors who've ever responded to me in 24 years are James Barber (when he wasn't a councillor in my ward) and two Tory councillors in Village Ward (the late Toby Eckersley and Michael Mitchell), all three of whom were extremely good at sorting out the issues involved. As someone who's not either a LibDem or a Tory, I find that depressing and an indictment of local government, particularly in Labour-dominated London.

More cautiously good news ? Meadow Residential have written off the club's 'debts' to them, though these figures were alway rather nebulous and requests for a proper breakdown were ignored. The good thing is, though, that without that potential liability, the club will be far more attractive to new investors. Details here too about Meadow's ridiculous revised scheme which will go nowhere: https://www.londonnewsonline.co.uk/landlords-write-off-dulwich-hamlets-debt/

Here are a couple of recent photos of the ground. Complete neglect.

Not any time soon, alas. But the (temporary) stay at Tooting & Mitcham's ground appears to be working OK, so the club should be able to sit it out, especially with the proposed new injection of cash. The good thing is that the developers can't do anything with the ground at the moment. It seems that any talks they've had with the council have broken down, so it's probably time to put some pressure on the Minister for Sport to appoint a mediator, as she promised in the Commons earlier this year. If that fails, the council will start the process for Compulsory Purchase. This could take a few years.

Response to a question of mine to club chairman Liam Hickey on the club forum about the new share offering and changes in the ownership of the club. Very welcome developments. "As a Private Limited Company we are not legally allowed to advertise the sale of shares but we can answer questions about them. We would have expected those at the meeting to have brought the contents of it into the public domain by now but as they haven't then this question is the first time we can say anything. Yes there has been lots of movement as 73% of the current shares will pass into the ownership of a new holding company within the next 7 days. The club's new Directors will be the Directors of that company - namely me, Tom Cullen and Gavin Rose. We have no intention of selling that holding at any time. However, we wish to be diluted to bring in new investment and so the meeting also agreed that authorised share capital be increased to ?1.5 million. These new shares are available to purchase in blocks of 500 shares at ?1 each. We have also brought the Register of Members up to date and taken some shares that were not taken up as part of the call and those of deceased and non contactable shareholders back into Treasury. It is our I mention to hand these to the Dulwich Hamlet Supporters Trust as soon as they have tidied up one of their own rules. The rest are available for fans or investors to purchase as part of the recapitalisation of the company. Should large investors come forward then we shall look very carefully at their motives as part of our due diligence but we are already aware of people friendly to the club who may wish to invest. The new Board will shortly be formed and offer places on it to representatives of all the current stakeholder groups. Please forward any requests to purchase or questions to [email protected]."

If we had won, we could have rightly felt proud of the team and would have celebrated accordingly. That's it.

If it's in an obviously perilous spot ? in the road or on the pavement ? move it to somewhere very close that's out of danger. Otherwise, leave it alone ? mum or dad will find it :)

Yep, the 9th is fine.

Memsaab? August 2nd?

Sounds good to me

I can be there by 9. Can I phone you my main course choice while I'm on the train from Ģatwick? :)

Moving to East Dulwich was Year Zero. Before that, nothing :)
