Tell me about it.


6 months on JSA is pretty crippling. And if you live at home.... forget getting any extra help.


If only I could speak fluent French! Sacrebleu!

Oh for fuck?s sake! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/8094515.stm


What?s the point of going to a festival if you, ?Don't drink too much? don't take drugs, drink plenty of water, wear sun screen when hot and keep your feet dry??


And now you can?t crowd surf because apparently, ?Joanna Squires, aged 30, from Essex, was knocked over and sustained bruising to her head??





Balls.

Does this cunt actually expect us to buy this?

Or could have perhaps been entitled, Man in charge of excuses thinks you are an idiot.

Apparently it's illegal to be in possession of a 16 year old boy from Norwood.


This Is Local London


Also arrested were a 25-year-old financial insurance broker from Sheffield who was cautioned for possession of an offensive weapon and possession of cannabis and a 16-year-old boy from West Norwood.



Journalist from Southwark Life perhaps?

Loving current issue of New Scientist.

Willing to think that 'Falling out of love with Market Myths' and 'Are you a Believer' about climate change denial and subjective dissonance even among 'beleievers' won't be bedtime Reading for our own dear (and respected) Marmora* Man.


*yaaaayyy iPhone no longer insists on marmots

That's not all Ted - I found out that the Bossanova setting on a Yamaha P43ICY organ uses 10 times more power than the Rock setting.. so... you know what to do


Has anyone seen that freaky Daily Mail front page from yesterday I think where, apparently, people who have a patio are going to have the jackboot of the state repeatedly stamped in their face?


or something

that was my favourite line too annaj


Just remember peasants - just because you work 10 hours behind a beeping till in Sainsbury's and then possibly a cleaning job at night to make ends meet, that's NOTHING compared to the hell of the middle classes who had to read a story like this yesterday. possibly sitting on their patio. In the sun. Eating freshly baked croissants, gourmet coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice...


Us middle-classes - our life is unbearable I tell you

    • Another recommendation for Dulwich Test and Services Centre. Only been using them for a couple of years but wish I’d found them earlier 
    • A new roadmap (surely railmap?!) for rail accessibility has been published: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/accessible-railways-roadmap It says "approximately 56% of stations and around 66% of the 1.3 billion journeys that take place on the network have step-free access to platforms...  "£373 million has been committed over the next 5 years to deliver Access for All projects, providing step-free access from station entrances to and between platforms, alongside other essential accessibility upgrades. These works, together, will increase the number of step-free stations across Great Britain from 56% to 58%. "This improvement will make travel easier with step-free access available at stations covering an increased share of total rail journeys – from 66% up to 71%" Don't know what that means for us here: upgrading Peckham Rye would cover a lot of rail journeys but the cost has no doubt increased from the £40m figure previously quoted. So that would eat into a lot of the funding.
    • It's not really though, is it. It's practical.  At least we're allowed Christmas lights.
