There's nothing much wrong with the playground. My kids and lots of others love it, it doesn't get too busy and the tinies love prattling around inside the metal drum thing. AllForNun is just enjoying a wee bit of a stir, methinks. And we use Goose Green swings just as much as PRP, as many do, so that's a false opposition.

This is the sort of information that would have come out if they had held the due consultation in the first place.

Here mate, where's yer Doctor (Boo -Loo), I've got a bad case of the Tandooris. (Nights - S****s).

A reference to Malcolm Allison, ex-manager of Crystal Palace? Or just coincidence.

I'm guessing it's David Rose (once -Mr Judy Garland), who wrote The Stripper, the music they do the routine to. Was he from ED?

I've got two kids at that nursery too, Ant, and I'm relaxed about the idea of a 24 hour pharmacy and needle exchange. I also slightly object to BARA implying opposition from the nursery - given that it doesn't sound as if any was expressed, just hat the nursery confirmed it had not been consulted. I suppose the surgery should have told the nursery out of courtesy, but given the place has pretty good security I'm not sure what the threat would be, more than to al the other kids living in the immediate area.

Warnock to Hearts would be hugely entertaining. And he'd last about five minutes.

Hi Monica. Is there any commercial angle in this for HealthMatters, or are you doing this purely from conviction? Nothing wrong if it's the former, of course. Was just wondering.

Nothing wrong with a place being useful for being near to other places. Othewise what is the whole of Staffordshire for? Anyway. For. 1. The people are great. No, really. And they come in all different shapes and sizes, despiteappearance of increasing homogeneity. So there will be something/ body there for you 2. Life seems more chilled than in other neighbouring areas 3. Council makes an effort re rubbish collection, street cleaners/ furniture, community events, funding etc 4. The great sense of smugness and well being you will feel at living here 5.And yes, it's close to lots of other good places - esp for the cultural and entertainments stuff that ED lacks. Against: 1.The East Dulwich Bulge - proven effect on the waistline of so many good places to eat and buy delicious food and drink. 2. Position in a depression beneath Denmark, Red Post, and Forest Hills leaves us strategically vulnerable to attack. Border defences are required.

Anyone think Russia will need a new coach, soon?

Do they do things by the book at Libretto's? I'm going to check them out anyway. It may mean I don't have to inflict my toddler on anyone in the queue outside EvilEmpireOfLovelyMeat on Lordship Lane.

Asset, I am a sausage from North Devon, so I know a lot more about this than you.

Kennedy's sausages have been a local institution for years, meeting the sausage related needs of the local working class and attracting in the right kind of immigrants as well as using up local pig meat, reared on Peckham Rye, although you lot wouldn't know about that - yes the Rye was a working farm supporting hundreds of local and itinerant hands long before it was the filthy litter, dangerous-dog and toddler infested pit it is now. It is a travesty of so-called market economics that local people now feel they can't be bothered to walk two miles to buy their sausages just because they think they can get better sausages locally even though they are paying through the nose, all sausages are the same there is no difference you are just paying a premium for the same stuff albeit in a fancy bag. My dad, who was a pig, told me once that the stuff in Walls bangers is the same as any old Merguez what have you, only more so. That's your prerogative but don't think you're getting some kind of bargain or superior product 'cos you ain't, it's the old folk I feel sorry for, forced to buy overpriced sausages or worse, no sausages at all, because people like you won't walk the extra mile to buy locally made sausages which are of course exactly the same as any other sausage. Not everyone has a car you know, although I do, and I love driving it, but not to Peckham, I only drive it in Barnstaple, a real community that appreciates proper driving. And sausages.

See, Camberwell does secret gigs but "East Dulwich" does secret pubs, Alan. Hoopers man - I too would use your pub in the daytime if you opened. I spend a lot of time WFP in this area and Hoopers would be perfect. Especially with some food on (nothing fancy, decent bread/ cheese/ ham would do it).

Watch out for depressed sofas on the estate, though.

Is that a promise? B)

Are they open Thursday lunchtimes? I fancy a pint and bit of free WiFi. Last time I went up there it was shut. EDIT: Not open till 5:30 it says on the website. Ah well.

Good for you Vikhibby. Before you spend up with the Forum, please consider my new venture. I'm launching "Living Life in SE22" magazine soon. My USP is that I've set up a web front-end where restaurant owners, beauty therapists and children's party organisers can write their own reviews, then print off the review under my masthead, for posting in the window of their enterprise. My charges really only cover my costs - I've very low overheads as the only writers I ever have cause to use are my friends' children looking for work experience, and people willing to provide unhesitatingly critical articles about HIPs. Another idea I've had is to run a "Best restaurant" competition, with the awards weighted towards heavy advertising schedules in LLiSE22 and free meals for me and my friends at the restaurant in question.

Apparently Laphrioag, ?tastes like medicine.? The taste of phenolic acid in peaty whiskies often leads to "TCP" in tasting notes. So your sister's right. Anyway you're a former whisky barman so you know this!

Settle all your postcode disputes here. Abbey Wood must be well posh. Er...

Also Maxted Road (who knew, huh?). Sales and Letting letters here. They clearly want a slice of the funky Bellenden Village action.

Nero reports unusual gay PDA near the hospice shop. Meanwhile on the famous faces thread Andi Peters is spotted coming out of the Bishop (as it were). Can the two possibly be related?

Not sure it was closed for a "few years". Few weeks/ months tops, wasn't it?

Beckham quite clearly wasn't fit enough and why McLaren kept him on for the full 90mins is beyond me Here's some more rope, David. I can direct you to the nearest tree if you require...? A poor performace from Beckham saves Maclaren a bit of a problem, doesn't it?

Yup. I find the worst thing about hangovers these days is that I get really depressed on them as well as all the other symptoms. Spend all day contemplating the hopelesness of everything. On such mornings the thought that the itinerant Aussie littering the sofa had put coke in my malt (and then not actually drunk the stuff anyway) might actually tempt me into the library with grandpa's old service revolver.
