Out for a drink tonight. Tomorrow as usual I plan to photograph and list stuff to sell on ebay but I've been saying that for about a year so I doubt it will happen. Also have some plants to plant before they all die. Oh yes and I will definitely win the lottery either tonight or tomorrow which will be nice.


I LOVE WEEKENDS

Currently sitting in GBK scarfing a Mexican (not related to Columbian necktie) admiring two young lovelies as they try to wrap their chops around the silly big burgers here. (Yes there's something lewd in that statement but I can guarantee one of the old guard will be diving in the gutter before me so why bother.)


If you turn out to be one of the 2 lovelies (brunette fetching dark teal blouse with a generous neckline, blonde in white cardi) I have been most impressed with your tidy munching abilities. Well done blondie on finishing first, that burger was almost as big as your head! Fancy a date?


Was hoping to be doing a photo shoot tomorrow but models unavailable at last minute :(

Tempted to hit the movie house for Inception or Toy Story 3.

Sunday hopefully a lovely home made roast.


All subject to change and better offers or an attack of conscience driving me to prepare for some blasted training course I'm on next week. 135 pages of learning and revision :((

Both ways, of course! Acocks Green to The Billesley and back again. God I know that route so well.... stopping to gaze at Sarehole

Mill was a real highlight.

I loved the Faith No More come back gig at Brixton a year or so ago despite missing Big sick Ugly Jim Martin, the greatest crunching Flying V player in the universe. Ever.


I went to Liquorish last night in the end , but got threatened with death by P Diddy and Jay Z for sitting in their (empty) seats and because I have trouble expressing myself in the physical form (dancing), especially when its to the Jackson Five, I called it a night and headed to Budgens for some wine gums, Razzle and milkshake.

Am 'enjoying' dismantling the plumbing under the kitchen sink and clearing the gunge that's blocking the water flow.The question is will I be able to put it back together again? I find that deep and meaningful questions like this are best answered by opening a bottle of red and drinking enough to put one in a positive frame of mind.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
