In San marino - I enjoyed several bottles of Robust Italians red wine with Il Duces face on the label

At Statue Park on the outskirts of Budapest they have moved all the giant communist statues to a bit of wasteland and have a communist memrobilia store on site. When I visited with friends our purchases included (no word of a lie) a rubber Lenin mask and The Best Communism 2 on tape - all your favourite communist anthems!


Good times.

Used to know him well in there, I used to teach martial arts and he did used to deal in japenese weapons. He regular customers are ex soldiers or soldier wannabes he used to do lot of business with police officers whom seem to be the ones with interest in Social Services memrobilia. Not really so scary if you talk to him but not sure would want him to dinner.

Yes this place is just ridiculous. It is almost as if he does not realise what has happened to East Dulwich and who now lives here. He should be swept away with all the other rubbish, it's almost as bad as having a chain of shops in Lordship lane. I know he is an inependent but this is not the kind of independent we want. We should leaflet the area and and put some pressure on the liberal coucillors and get his lease revoked. That General was right when he said the troops do not feel suported at home and as for THIS war monger lets get rid. Anyone would think that this country was built on conflict and the old British Empire, Twaddle. It's people like us with the dinner parties, double buggies and organic wellies who founded this great nation...does anyone else think we should float the idea of some kind of wall around the area, of course we would make it out of briars or a nice bamboo, probably should not use brick to many implications Belrlin, Israel etc.

Do you mean the cut up technique that Bowie borrowed from Brion Gysin and William Burroughs?


Gun shop, bang bang.

I think so. It's a dangerous stratery (as the book says)


"you can't rewrite, 'cause to rewrite is to deceive and lie, and you betray your own thoughts. To rethink the flow and the rhythm, the tumbling out of the words, is a betrayal, and it's a sin"

On reflection I can?t remember if that quote was from the book or the film or both. All I know is a tutor I had at university used it as a kind of mantra.


I suppose that?s what you get for studying English, a boring job that gives you RSI and a flawed knowledge of beatnik literature.

    • The sites in question though are not comparable to the builders yard by the station and less likely to be granted planning permission for 9 storey buildings. The builders yard fronts on to the railway line on one side and virtually no residential property surrounding on the other sides. The Gibbs & Dandy /Kwikfit and ED trading trading estate are surrounded at close proximity by residential, and in the case of the latter a Grade II building, so there would more stringent height restrictions. Both these sites are tired and in need of development to provide much needed housing.
    • Not sure if this is any help but was initally told to use google chrome as the browser and the code was the reference. However the person at Southwark parking took pity on me and did it for me 
    • I can see how it could've worked 20 or 30 years ago, when you couldn't swing a pool cue in the Foresters without hitting a sparks, a plumber or a chippy, but the area has changed somewhat. I'm not sure people around here have such trade-able skills these days. Have a word with someone in your local and you'll see. People are always going to need their boiler fixed, a damp patch sorted or their dimmer switch dimmed, but I can pretty much guarantee I'm never going need my corporate policy complied with, my social media planned, my data mined, my green transport tsared, my information architected or my analytics analysed. It reminds me of the great DIY con of the mid to late seventies. My Mum bought into it, my Dad didn't. Anyway, my Mum won out and we let the gardener go (he went on to be TV's Timmy Mallett, so that's a warning from history), but my Dad shorted the house out and singed his head when he cut through the flex on his new Black & Decker hedge trimmer. We all laughed, of course, but he got his own back when, because we didn't use a qualified electrician to do things properly, she electrocuted herself when she pulled the back of the plug off her Carmen heated rollers while it was still in the socket. Keep things professional, say 'No!' to this sort of nonsense. We pay people a decent rate of pay because they're specialists at these things. I did once barter my sister's space hopper and roller skates for twenty-odd square foot of crazy paving, though. That was a birthday present my Mum never forgot, and not in a good way.  
    • Thanks both of you. I have also been having the same problem. I emailed the named person on the letter, with no response. I also tried phoning and was transferred to another number which cut me off. I hope they extend the deadline for applying as there are likely to be many people without a permit by the deadline for applying.
