Frankly Giggi, I was heartsick not to have heard from you earlier, but of course am now massively relieved that you have joined.

If you'll accept the post I'd like you to be the Ministrette Without Portfolio, consider it a roving brief.

Or a rock and rolling brief, if you will.

Good thinking on the handshake, this will require a little thought and some research, I'll call my friend Jason the Mason and see if he's free.


And thanks, yes I did know about IH at Islington and have got tickets for myself and Honaloochie Jnr, this is an acoustic gig, he's doing the Komedia at Brighton with the Rant band also, so I'll be there as well.

We're being spoiled this year what with the Barbican show earler this month. One of his finest I might add.

Point of order, Quids, don;t think the tip is one of ironik spellling. 'Click' is the term used in some rap/r&B songs to denote clique. So the reference to 'click' here is a rather knowing form cliqueishness. Or is that clickishness? A sort of faux homage to the r&b/rap idiom, if you will.

Uhhh....help...I'm channelling Ned Sherrin.

Bless you, Brendan, no not at all, this click does not involve any sort of cheap exploitative humiliating initiation rituals.

As if.

No this is all about long term collections of loose change at week's end, which will be donated to The Glorious Leader (I haven't mentioned it for a couple of days, but in these times of tubulence and change, I should empasise it's still me}.


Bike you say Brendan? Do you have working solid panniers?

If so, there could an official post in the click for you.


Ride round to other click members of a Friday evening and collect their week's worth of loose change. Should they demure then you will weedle, cajole and flim-flam them.


The post of Chancer Of The Exchequer, is yours for the taking.


There's a weekly quart of gin, if the prestige isn't enough.

Not at all NL, I think dear Ned would be flattered.

But I know 'click' prefigures the rap/R&B idiom you're referring to.


So North Londoner, how would you care to be the click's Forrin Secretary?

So when we leave our yard(s) and have fi gwa forrin over the river, we know we'll have sanctuary.

It's a key appointment.

It's an interesting notion, PGC. I'd not considered the idea of Quangos, but you appear to seem to be a self-governing sort of person, so let's go along with your suggestion.

Mind that's not to minimise the importance of this Quango.


PGC, will you accept the post of chair of the Lager Temperature Of Certain Indifferent Bars On Lordship Lane?

You will of course, with your team have to visit the bars on a regular basis, and submit a report on a weekly basis on which of the indifferent bars 'come good' (as we click members say) as far as good lager temperature is out there, LAMF.


What say, PGC?

Your alligence is already well took, bro.

It's took like Steve Took out of Tyrannasouras Rex, blud.

You knows it.

Time you joined the click K1997.


Raise your right hand and say after me.


"After me, you're considerably older and I think it's only polite to let you go first"


Well done K, welcome to the click.

Dib dib dib indeed, Brendan. I like that thinking. Low key.

Let's keep the click as a Scouty/Cubsian kind of deal to the outside world.

No need for civilians, as it were, to suspect, as they might, that a click sponsored by the EDF was a 'front' for a spare change of a Friday night collection racket.

I refute that. It's defaming.


The click is nothing more than a 'social club', a gathering of like-minded people who come together.

That's all, they just come together.


Any suggestion that 'non change donaters' will go the same way as the 'Dream Machine' will be met with the most vigorous legal action.

Fantaca, Katie1997, you got the 'fingerpopping'.


You're going to be so popular in the click, specially on Friday night when Brendan returns with the local spare change, I reckon double finger clicks will keep him on the straight, while giving him a little boost. Also.


Plus of course, with those kind of fingers you'll find yourself featuring in a prominent position in the click's production of West Side Story.

It's a little local production we'll be putting on.

For the local widows and orphans you understand.

PGC, in the click, when we speak of 'loose change', we are not necessarily referring to, for want of a better phrase loose change.

From time to time, as the occasion necessitates, it can refer to loose change, if you catch my drift.

And I'm in a drift throwing kind of mood.

    • There's probably a bigger discussion on why we celebrate Christmas (pagan/religious festival) and why everything has to shut down.  I've enjoyed Xmas days in Spain, Mexico and France where some businesses and restaurants are open, and in a number of non-Christrian countries.  In both sets of occasions it has been festive, but not over the top and the Spanish seem to have a more relaxed attitude in a country where the church is probably more important than the UK.  A Lounge conversation.  I'll no doubt be popping into the Forest Hill Road supermarket on Xmas day for things we have forgotten, with many others in a similar situation who grew up in the Christian faith (I've long since been an atheist).   
    • Would anyone have ends of balls of wool, any colour, to mend an old blanket? Any colour? With thanks Mila
    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
