  1. Our next meeting will be Wednesday 30th August in the Blake room at the Clockhouse at 8.00pm. Our next book is Heart of a Dog by Bulgakov: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_of_a_Dog Chick
  2. Megalaki84, Do you live in a house with electricity, gas central heating. If yes then you are a hypocrite. "If you feel that the CPZ is a positive move by the council to improve our lives" It isn't, it's about raising revenue for the council. If you want to be morally pure on climate change and pollution you have to go live in a cave and eat berries.
  3. Dear book group, Our next meeting is on Wednesday 26th July at 8.00pm in the Blake room at the Clockhouse. Our next book is Slow Horses by Mick Herron: https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2022/dec/09/slow-horses-season-2-review-apple-tv-gary-oldman-kristin-scott-thomas see you then. Chick
  4. I stepped out of a shop door and was narrowly missed a cyclist on the pavement looking at his phone and riding fast. A frail old lady came out and had he hit her she would have been in hospital. The charming young man looked back at me and shouted "f*ck you"
  5. There are several DAB transmitter's at Crystal Palace and South Norwoos.

  14. Check out linkage at Southwark.
  15. Just because I am not a royal sycophant doesn’t make me a kill joy.
  16. Dear book group, Thanks to everyone who joined in a very good meeting last night and a very big welcome to Stacy, Our next book is The Trees by Percival Everett. It's based on the murder of Emmett Till, a true story. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/56269278-the-trees?fbclid=IwAR10LLuH8RneRNF0lhBtd1GDCERzmZiir0rPVJOgKcC3cURJmGtI6USDXBE There is a very powerful film about it simply called “Till”. I recommend it. https://www.theguardian.com/film/2023/jan/04/till-review-a-powerful-portrait-of-courage-in-the-face-of-barbaric-racism The next meeting will be on 22nd March again on zoom. At 7.00pm. I am thinking of going back to live meetings in the Clockhouse please let me know your thoughts on that. We could alternate between zoom and live meetings, it may be possible to have zoom in the Clockhouse Zoom has the benefit that people abroad can join last night we had France and Ukraine adding a voice. Sometime soon I will attempt to show In Bruges in the Clockhouse. I have some sad news but I’ll take more time composing something and send next week. Thunderbirds are international! Chick.
  17. From BBC: Don't forget to listen to the program which I think is this coming Sunday at 15.30. I'll confirm this tomorrow. (this is the correct time) I have asked to be invited again in April or May so will let you know. Chick From: Nicola Holloway <[email protected]> Sent: 31 January 2023 15:36 To: Nicola Holloway <[email protected]> Subject: Thank you Thank you for joining us for our recording with Cal Flyn and your excellent questions. I hope you enjoyed the experience, and the programme on Sunday. I have left in as many questions as I could. Our next recordings are on 16/02 with Nadifa Mohamed (The Fortune Men) and on 15/03 with Tan Twan Eng (The Garden of Evening Mists). These are both evening recordings in the Council Chamber at BBC Broadcasting House. All the details are on the website; do drop me a line if you would like to come to either. It’s a big space so there is room for plus-ones. I’m @nicolaholloway7 on Twitter if you’d like to follow me – I always tweet about upcoming recordings. And we put the details on our webpages as soon as authors are confirmed. Please don’t wait to be invited and please do tell your friends. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006s5sf With very best wishes Nicola
