    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 :)

    Any green growth this year that's overhanging the pavement is not going to have nests in it. Trim it back to allow people past, as I assume they've done in the past.

    Trossachs is fine for safety ? the trouble is confined to a particular spot on Glengarry Rd that the police know all about. In 23 years, I've never felt worried.

    Pleased to see that Google Maps now recognises that the Lordship Lane / Goose Green roundabout is now called the Dulwich Hamlet Promotion Roundabout. Some rave reviews too :-)

    Car club? Minicab? Both cheaper than buying a new car. Or even carshare with others.

    You and Thornberry both.

    I was watching the on the opposite side of the estuary, in Leigh-on-Sea. Regular boozer ? tats, tans and singing. Loved it ? busy but very friendly, no animosity, no xenophobia. Landlady played a selection of inspiring tunes before kick-off. When I heard "Jerusalem" followed by "Vindaloo", I knew it was fine. Emily Thornberry would have hated it.

    That's unusual, as other gregarious birds like sparrows are happy to come back not long after a sparrowhawk has picked one off. Over time, predators have very little influence on prey population numbers.

The cause isn't clear.

    There's been plenty of drug dealing going on around there for months and I've seen the police visiting the same address twice in the last few weeks. Not necessarily related to this incident, but it does set a 'tone', unfortunately.

    I'm AB Rh+ so they like me ? 3/4% of the population. And yes, it's become frustrating finding venues to give blood. I always used the temporary truck near London Bridge off Southwark St, which was handy for work, but all the trucks have been withdrawn I believe. Now use one of the City venues, but it's very hit and miss as to when they have slots available.

    And there are blackcaps breeding on Green Dale fields behind Sainsburys, as well as fellow warbler the chiffchaff.

    Possibly a stag beetle. They do fly, but very badly.

Hope this thread dies a quick death. Shouldn't that be 'extreme right-wing' or some such? I'm sure you're not excluding people with right-wing views* from any debate? * Disclaimer: I don't have right-wing views and never have.

    But the 'Best pub' awards are not run by CAMRA. Both the Blythe Hill Tavern and the Ivy House deserve their CAMRA awards as they're excellent real ale pubs. By contrast, the 'Best pub' awards are run by the "National Pub & Bar Awards", an industry organisation that includes American Budweiser among its sponsors.

    If they're moneybags city boys, why would they bother saving a few quid by wanting to park in ED? It's nonsense. The 'commuter' parking is nearly all local, as the council discovered when it proposed the Grove Vale CPZ.

    Dulwich Hamlet fans celebrating the team's promotion to the National League South. I'm in this briefly :-)

    😀 They'll be in the West End for the evening and then catching a late train. Otherwise I'd bring 'em along.
