Plato also believed in slavery and rule by an elite of philosopher kings. I'm choosing not to follow his political beliefs.

Doesn't sound too glamorous, but you can have a great day out jumping on a train to Gravesend, seeing the town, including the Pocahontas memorial and the huge new Sikh temple, then jumping on a ferry for a 10-minute trip across the river to Tilbury. It's then five minutes walk to Tilbury Fort, a really impressive English Heritage-run Napoleonic era fort with lots of space to explore. The back to Gravesend for a pint/bite to eat and a train home.

Crank's nut roast - my Christmas dinner of choice for the last [mumble munble] years.

Wow, I had no idea it had gone veggie. Looks good. Been there many times and back in the 80s had the honour of standing next to Jeffrey Bernard in the urinals. He was staggeringly pissed.

Yes indeed - lots of people used to get caught out on the buses if they knew the station was Zone 2.

And the rest of the food world has changed in the last thirty years ? not just a veggie offering or two in pubs, but also the full range of ethnic restaurants. My favourite vegetarian meals in London have been at non-vegetarian restaurants. Looking forward to Loubet's Grain Store Unleashed opening at the Zetters Hotel next week: http://www.grainstoreunleashed.com/

If you don't want the fine, keep out of the bus lane. I can't see how it can be more simple. As a bus user (and car driver), I'm all for measures to keep selfish idiots out of bus lanes.

Loved Crank's and Food For Thought. More locally, I really liked Heathers in Deptford too. Proper old skool veggie and brilliant with it.

Many thanks to all for a great night out, even if the head's a bit sore this morning. Lots of fun and we'll definitely be doing it again. And I still reckon Tandoori Nights isn't as good as it thinks it is.

I smiled when I saw the 'Yuppies Out' graffiti a few months ago in Brixton. Just shows you the age and attitude of those objecting to gentrification, as no-one apart from an 80s post-punk class warrior would use such a phrase. And I wonder what the locals thought when the post-punk class warriors moved in in the first place...

Ah, OK. Thanks.

But aren't applications dealt with Borough-wide according to deadlines? The previous round of applications had a closing date a couple of months ago. I'm wondering when the next round opens and closes. http://www.southwark.gov.uk/info/200047/grants_and_funding/392/neighbourhoods_fund_2015

James, I posted this on another thread so you might not have seen it: can you confirm that CGS has been rolled into the new Neighbourhoods Fund? I get the impression from Southwark's website that this funding round is now annual rather than twice-yearly, but I haven't been able to find out for sure. Any help gratefully appreciated.

And just to confirm, me and Mrs BNG too.

Hello James, please can you confirm that CGS has been rolled into the new Neighbourhoods Fund? I get the impression from Southwark's website that this is now annual rather than twice-yearly, but I haven't been able to find out. Any help gratefully appreciated.

Yes, he's lived in East Dulwich for a few years. And just landed himself a role in the next Stephen Poliakoff BBC drama: http://www.theguardian.com/media/2015/mar/31/stephen-poliakoff-bbc-drama-close-to-the-enemy

I'm sure it will be a huge success too, but they shouldn't have kept announcing opening dates that didn't happen. Looks crap. That's all.

Rival TV companies pretending the other one isn't showing the big game. BBC News: "And you can hear commentary on Radio 5 Live..." No, you can watch the bloody thing on ITV. Please don't treat us like morons.

Cinema attendances have almost trebled in the last thirty years. The main slump happened through the 50s and 60s, thanks to the advent of TV.

I'm not pissed off, exercised by it or think it's a right. I'm just pointing out that their way of doing business thus far leaves something to be desired. I find it 'extraordinary' that some people can't see that point.

Hmmm. If my business promised to deliver and still hadn't done so five months later having missed three promised deadlines, customers might have some justification in finding it unprofessional.

Well, I'm getting the attached times, which for morning peak London Bridge-bound services are the same times as now.

Well, I don't have the app and the website search said it couldn't find a station called East Dulwich. National Rail Enquiries shows the same peak times as now for late May.
