Yes, see him everywhere. He often turns up for 'community' events (last saw him a Heber School Summer Fair). He also campaigns on various local issues on LL. Quite sweet really. Didn't know he was a celeb outside this parish until I saw him in the Evening Standard.


My son has castigated me for not getting Helen Ledrer's autograph when I see her. He is a big Dr Who fan.

I think James Nesbit is a good actor, I liked him in cold feet,and all the other things he has done.

I bought his version of Jekyl,and thought he played the evil side well.

The only part I couldnt get to grips with, was his role as Pontius Pilate,his Irish accent put me off.

Similar to Sean Connery when he played an English king,but he was annoying because he made an effort to speak with

an English accent when he took the role of James Bond.

I would like to liketo see James in a period drama.

I was going to post that almost word for word earlier.


I don't think I would recognise anyone famous if they were standing in front of me.


I have trouble recognising the people I know somwtimes. :)

I saw the actress who played Di Barker from Bad Girls on a 176, she got off at Goose Green. Jenny Eclair and husband in Sainsburys DKH, Jo Brand waiting for a bus on LL opposite the barracks and Mickey Flanagan in Sainsburys.


Years ago, it was ridiculously easy to spot cast members of The Bill, including the actor who played DS Roach talking his pets to the vet opposite the Harvester or riding his bike around ED and Peckham. Also two other cast members who were using the cashpoint at Lloyds TSB.


My mother also spotted Cathy Shipton (Casualty's Duffy) in Rye Lane years ago.

I agree with what your saying Steve. When I first joined the forum I also had one or two people making similar comments to me, it made me not want to bother coming on. However, I thought why should these 'critical' few stop me from using this when there are so many nice & helpful people on here. The minority just aren't worth bothering with. Stick with it Steve.

      Love Dulwich Turkish Restaurant.

      By Pugwash · Posted

      Many of you will recall my previous posts seeking recommendation of local eateries for a family meal. Having vegetarians, those who cannot take dairy products or  are gluten intolerant  we  were looking at a menu which could accommodate everyone's requirements. Having been to Love Dulwich twice in t he past for lunch, we went again and discovered that we could reserve for 10 people (would have been 12 ). I am pleased to say Love Dulwich did not disappoint - a wide choice, beautifully cooked and presented, adults and kids loved the food. We booked for 7 pm and were surprised at the number of people already dining there, with several more coming through the evening. Service was good and coped well with multiple orders. Well recommended.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Insuflo · Posted

      This leaflet has the tone of a social media post emanating from Mar-a-Largo at 2am. The Lib Dems adopting the vernacular of the far right. Truly shameful.  What constitutes a RADICAL MARXIST? Is that distinct from a moderate marxist (lower case)? Cultural Marxist is used in right-wing circles as code to disparage Jews. So, exactly what is a RADICAL MARXIST, Lib Dems? Perhaps James Barber could pop like a low-rent (but equally annoying) Microsoft paperclip to explain: “Hi, looks like you’re thinking of voting for a Marxist…”

      lol! The Greens have picked up a bunch of support into the last few months precisely because they have gone much further to the left. If you wanted a leaflet that made disaffected Labour voters aware that there was a leftist alternative to Labour in Dulwich, and to reassure mainstream Labour voters feel like the Corbynite fringe was fucking off at long last, then this is what it would look like.  Meanwhile the Lib Dems' solution to SEND and social care funding crises, a failure to build any private or social housing, climate change and all the rest is..."community wardens". 🤣 They really seem to be out of tune with the state of the country at the moment: it's crazy that they could have observed the comms failure of Starmer's incremental managerialism and thought to themselves, "you know what people want? More of that attitude, but with even less impact".
