Actually he's not Jimmy Carter - he's very experiences at how to work in the American system having done it for 40 years. He might be too old for a second term - but never say never.

Med's post was aimed at me and said in jest, no offence was meant and none taken...

Indeed. I've been posting on here for aeons, and I've never understood what it was all about.

Crikey,blasts from the past there!


Thanks for the explanation. Relieved to see the players are not actually counting every post themselves 🙂

I saw CNN's joint interview with Biden & Harris. I think I can best describe it as refreshing. It's likely they won't achieve everything they want to, what politicians do? I guess what was so refreshing was that it felt like they were being honest. Something that has been seriously missing in US and UK politics for some time.It was like taking a gulp of fresh air having just left somewhere stinky.

I watched Trump?s ?Victory Rally? in the early hours.

What a depressing experience.

Why are the Republicans not denouncing this ?!

America seems lost of their leader can voted out, refuse to leave, deny the election outcome, spread unrest amongst his supporters, disable the democratic process and self-enrich at will, repeatedly (let alone self-pardon !).

It's so depressing. Trump is gonna trump, but where are the decent Republicans? They can't all be as deranged / morally vacuous as the Donald?!

Yes, I think the republicans are so scared to do anything it speaks volumes for the culture of their party currently.

However, there is a few outspoken republicans though I'm not sure they have a forum.

One thing I've seen is The Lincoln Project (republicans) adverts/clips denouncing Trump and his actions, Kushner, Ivanka, and other filthy players in this sick game.


Wiki:"

The Lincoln Project

Named after Abraham Lincoln

Founded December 17, 2019

The Lincoln Project is an American political action committee formed in late 2019 by a number of Republicans and former Republicans. During the 2020 presidential election, it aimed to prevent the re-election of Donald Trump and defeat all Republicans in close races running for re-election in the United States Senate.[2][3][4] In April 2020, the committee announced its endorsement of Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden,[5] who went on to win the election."

Looks like the Senate is going to the Democrats - still in the balance but one Georgia seat has been called (by NBC and CNN) and the other is waiting on more Democrat areas to come in with a small Democratic lead.


Winning both seats gives Biden the Senate (with the VP vote) and thus a majority in both houses.

After winning these two seats (if that even happens), it?ll be a 50/50 House from what I understand with VP Harris having deciding-vote power.

Unfortunately, due to the majorities required (and, you?d have to suspect after Republican behaviours this last few months) it will be exceeding difficult to push change through. So the Biden administration may be hugely crippled in its ability to achieve as much as it intends.

For example, the ?Dirty Dozen? digging their heels in.

Complete disaster for the US 😭

    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.  
    • BIAB is supposed to be less damaging to the nails than Shellac. It stands for Builder in a Bottle. 
    • I have been training at the hub for just over one year. I really enjoy the variety of training offered and the quality of the instructors. Very effective group classes and enjoyable in the open air! A very welcoming place which makes a fitmess journey pleasant!  
    • We're are just about to get ready for sale, a 2 bed flat, very close to Peckham Rye park.  It has been rented out for sometime, so is in need of some TLC for it to look its best, before it goes on the market.  Would be interested to know others thoughts on whether its best to just have the place painted completely white throughout, probably with new grey flooring, or if it might be more appealing to add some colour/interest (nothing too drastic), perhaps something alittle 'warmer', with some nice (potentially dark) feature walls maybe? Wondered whether the days of going completely white might now have passed ..... It might be useful to know that its not a period or conversion property, but rather a flat in a private purpose built block.
