Steve I agree with Clare... hang in there


It's all new to me too having just moved around here after 26 years in North London (no booing please!) but it's good for finding out what's going on and has been really helpful in finding somewhere to live.


oh, and saw Emily Joyce in Sainsburys - she is one of those intriguing natural beauties... well I think so (google comes in handy at this point!)

I have seen Gavin & Stacey's Staecy loads of times now, Sophie from Peep show a few times, Phil Mitchell's bird from Eastenders in Sainsbury's and also Tobias Menzies in Cafe Nero, Menzies is in Spooks, was in Casino Royale, Rome ect... and I had not seen him before.


I am still waiting to see Mr Nesbitt & Ms Brand !

Don't watch Eastenders but my inlaws do so I recognised Shirley from Eastenders in Sainsburys, Dog Kennel a few times.


Also spotted James Nesbitt about a hundred times around the place, also Lorraine Chase in and around Dul Village. Also Jenny Eclair in Barclays Bank in Camberwell about a year ago.


Couple of weeks ago was coming out of Brixton tube and spotted a well-known actor but can't think of his name.


I'm sure he's been in Eastenders and other programmes for around 20 odd years. If I was shown a picture with a name I could place him. He looks like the actor in Emmerdale whos been around for years and wears the black choker.

Pretty sure he doesn't live in the area but queued behind John McCririck in Londis today buying beer and pancakes, informing the shopkeeper that his facial hair was "a huge turn-on for birds" and that he would "s**t on the doorstep" of shopkeepers who didn't respect him. What a guy.

The John McCririck (or however it is spelled) post made me laugh. You wouldn't expect anything less. How disappointing if he'd have actually been well-mannered.


We seem to do well round these 'ere parts for 'serious' actors, comediennes etc, but what about pure 'Heat' type 'celebs'? You know trashy glam types - or is ED not that kind of 'hood?

The Cheeky Girls! Pure reality TV gold. Definitely Heat worthy and definitely the best celeb spot so far in my book.


That could only be trumped by Kerry Katona - long shot, but anyone seen her - do you think she could be enticed here with an Iceland platter?

Kate Ford is indeed a genuinely lovely girl. And she's not always on the phone. She's always happy, down to earth and makes a good cup of tea ;-)

Have seen the actor Adrian Lester a few times, once in Locale when it was still the Green - he's lovely and very handsome.


James Nesbitt at Browell Lido a few times over the years.


The interior designer off Changing Rooms who used to say "I think it looks really, really nice..."...what was her name? Not sure she really counts as famous.


Oh, and Alex Kingston used to live on Goose Green don't you know, pre Hollywood days of course.

I used to work with Gerrard Butler after my Dad employed him as a trainee lawyer. Gerry and I used to sneak out for a pint at the Conan Doyle and talk about girls. He left to take up acting at 28 and I didn't see him untill 5 years later when his chiselled torso graced a huge billboard on Times Square. The whole thing is a bunch of bollocks. But I'm secretly hoping for a party invite in LA sometime soon. Unlikely I think...

i saw bob hoskins when they were making the long good friday the first couple of

minnutes were shot in landells rd and the alleyway where the music shop is opposite

darrel rd on upland rd near where the old police station used to be in the 70;s

if this qualifies

    • Having had several cats over the past 40 years - mainly rescue, we have a tried and tested routine, Initially confined to one room with litter tray/food/water - we take it in turns to stay for a few minutes several times a day so they become familiar with our scent. They are gradually introduced to the rest of the house. We have a wire cat basket and we place cat in basket and take them outside, over a few days we place basket in different areas of the garden - grass area/gravel area, patio area etc - different flowers/plants. Some of the more nervous cats we walk around the garden on a lead. They get use to the scent of the garden. We have a cat flap in the back door so they have full access - If we need to keep cat in - just block off the cat flap so they cannot escape! We are now down to one elderly cat - who during the summer just laid on the garden chairs and came in for food, but as weather getting colder prefers to sit on a worktop in the kitchen looking out into the garden. So we are back to the cat litter as she is reluctant to go out in the rain/cold.  
    • With fibre you are paying for the speed, which is the number, yours is 300 so if you did a lot of gaming, for example, you would want the fastest possible.  If it's just office work or maybe streaming on Netflix you likely won't need as fast, but, if there are a lot of people in your house all doing their own thing on different devices, then faster speeds are better.  I don't rely on my Wi-Fi much other than when I am using my mobile.  I use Ethernet cables to connect up everything, I Have one cable running from my router, along the skirtings and through a hole I drilled in the wall to another room.  I have attached the plusnet speed guide which gives you an idea of how it works.   
    • I'd reread what you posted and try to summarise.  It just comes across as a rant.
    • Really like living in a country where big brother is  looking at you -, not that it is likely to happen in UK but crime should have stricter consequences.. not just put into jail which I gather is where more bad habits are learnt.
