Famous faces

About his acting skills...yes! That was based exclusively upon what I had seen on the box. I must say that the degree of my aversion was prolly also influenced by the completely unjustified extent to which he was hyped up a few years back. Equally, I should say, there are others who share my opinion of the demeanour he appears to exude when walking around the streets of ED.

He used to frequent local pubs more err frequently than he does now. I and a few people I know have met him and he's actually a pretty nice bloke, who was happy to help out on a quiz machine or talk about footy.


Having said that I've seen him out with a group of 'pals' more recently and that 'air' was discernible. But then fame and success will always attract arse-kissing types, I guess the trick is never to believe the hype.


Not that that will ever really be an issue for me!!

ah yes, the old "I'll-say-it-will-never-happen-to-me" which means now it just might trick - to be fair Mockney you have had your work published which is more than most of us. In fact I'm sure I have seen you in the Bishop, downing double-rums like a proper star....


As for Jimmy - poor lad. I haven't seen so much of him since he moved but he was always happy to chat in the pubs watching football.

Now I love a good rant, but on the subject of Jimbo Nesbitt, I am quite surprised that such a seemingly innocuous character could provoke such strength of feeling.


I DID see him recently at Jacks, and have to say I did not discern this smugness of which you speak.

Did she hastily try and rearrange the pasta shelves into pictures and regroup the spuds in an alcove ?

(like she normally does with pebbles in empty fireplaces).


Oh well as long as she wasn't waving the scissors in the air as in her late unlamented Currys/Dixons ads.

This thread seems to have descended into a rally about whether James Nesbitt is alright...


Coincidentally I was up at the TDF roll-out this morning [fantastic BTW] and ran into David Bathurst, who played the posh bloke in Cold Feet. He used to come into my bookshop occasionally, and was always just so nice in a way Hugh Grant only wishes he could be.


Also coincidentally the last series of Cold Feet was script doctored by a friend of mine. Small world eh?

    • I'm surprised no-one has helped you.  There have been at least two or three threads on the topic in the last couple of years. I'm afraid they'll all confirm that you assumed wrongly.  I remember looking into it myself and finding nothing to assist anyone who made the same assumption.  I looked recently at the Townley Road appeals decided in 2023, and here's a determination from among them that also spells it out. 31/3/23 Reasons     Mr X appeals against two Penalty Charge Notices. He argues that they have only been issued in order to make money for the council. Mr X states that the restrictions were introduced to make it safe for school students in the morning and afternoon and that as both 26th December 2022 and 2nd January 2023 were public holidays there was no purpose in enforcing the restriction. The appellant states that he was driving to collect an elderly relative. Townley Road is a route that is for buses, cycles and taxis only Monday to Friday 8-9am and 3-4.30pm. The restriction is in operation every Monday to Friday whether or not schools are on holiday or if it is a bank or public holiday. There was no indication on the sign that the prohibition was not being enforced on either Monday 26th December or Monday 2nd January. I have seen the CCTV footage in relation to each contravention. I have also  seen photographs of the signs and camera car footage that show the signs  and warning signs. I find that the signs are clear and that there is sufficient  warning of the restriction to enable a driver to take an alternative route. I find that each contravention occurred. I refuse both appeals.
    • I suggest you write to the estate agent asking specific questions and request a written response. Otherwise they will tell you anything to get a sale.
    • Hello, I walked past this a few minutes ago on the corner of Shawbury Road X Lordship Lane. Had a look, put it back but then saw the cut security chain as well 20 meter down the road and thought someone definitely is missing at least some handlebars. If they are still there when I come back I can take them in as I live on the next street, please DM me to arrange pickup if they belong to you.   --- UPDATE: 20:02 PM, it's still there.   I've decided not to touch it again or take it with me as it's oily and the wife will not appreciate it.
    • There is a lovely children's cafe near Peckham Park  Also there's a art place which does kids art classes etc near East Dulwich Station
