Loved Pillars of the Earth, still got to watch the last 2. Walking Dead is fabulous, I look forward to it every week, Mad Men is Lush (tu) love it, Vampire Diaries :-$, Merlin, looking forward to 3rd series of True Blood, Desperate Housewives, Medium, I better stop now :-$

Afterlife was good, starring Leslie Sharp atmospheric and an gloomy feel portraying the paranormal.


"Robert Bridge is a psychology lecturer, grieving the loss of his young son Josh, who was killed in a car accident three years earlier. A specialist in the study of psychic mediums, Robert is invited to an 'evening of clairvoyance' where he meets Alison Mundy. Reluctant and cautious, she is a far cry from the fraudulent psychics that sceptic Robert is used to. Alison is different, ever since she was a child she has seen spirits and after a near-death experience they have taken over her life - when she passes people in the street she isn't sure if they are dead or alive, when she lies in bed at night she can't escape the voices that cry out to her. Driven by a compulsion to help those around her, Alison seeks to resolve relationships torn apart by death. When Alison's readings provoke an adverse reaction in one of Robert's own pupils, he begins to study her with the intention of writing about her work and the people she helps. But their association is thrown into crisis when Alison reveals she is touch with Robert's son."

Morse. I've seen them all about a thousand times before, but when he's at his condescending best, I just can't bring myself to change the channel.


I Claudius. I got this on DVD, fully expecting it to never live-up to HBO's Rome, but so-far, I'm hooked. OK, Derek Jacobi's daft aging prosthetics (if you can call it that) during the individual prologues betrays the series' age, but the acting is superb - Jacobi has young Claudius down to every last twitch, for instance. And Si?n Phillips' Livia! Honestly, I don't think I've ever witnessed a more accomplished bitch than her on television.


The second Swedish Wallander with Krister Henriksson. I don't know what I love more about it. The deviation from Mankell's original work or the

I love I Claudius! There was a recent Radio version on Radio 4, with Derek Jacob playing the part of Augustus. The TV series hasn't aged particularly well, but the writing and acting are so good, you really don't mind.


From sublime to ridiculous, I have to admit to enjoying Episodes.


Have recently started series 1 of Mad Men, and rather enjoying that.

    • Another great job from Leon - sorted a consumer unit and EICR for me last minute. Highly recommend 
    • Admin, please move this if it's in the wrong section. Can anybody recommend a reasonably local dietician (or possibly nutritionist? Not sure what the difference is). My GP has suggested I see a dietician, but there isn't one attached to the practice. I have googled, but it's very hard to tell what people may be like from an online description, and I want somebody who is properly qualified. Alternatively, please PM me if you know of people I should avoid! Thanks x
    • A vet might be able to trace its owners if it's chipped. Also I believe twb who posts on here has a mobile scanner. Poor cat.
    • If you look at the application linked to in the OP, you'll see it's a Licensing Act 2003 one, in this case for the purposes of sale by retail of alcohol and for the provision of late night refreshment: "TAKEAWAY COFFEE/ HOT SNACKS 2300-0100". IF the shop counts as a Hot Food Takeaway, then section P48 of the Southwark Plan https://www.southwark.gov.uk/sites/default/files/2024-09/Southwark Plan 2022 reduced 1.pdf , which appears to be the latest one linked to on Southwark's site, will I presume be applied in any  planning application (Is there one?). It says: "New hot food takeaways will only be permitted where: ..... 3. The proposed location is further than 400 metres from any existing or proposed primary or secondary school’s boundary; ....." It incorporates  policy laid down in the National Planning Policy Framework, and thence the London Plan.  Over the years KFC, and others, have taken a  number of appeals against local planning authority decisions on Takeaways to the Planning Inspectorate.  Some have been allowed.  KFCs 'commentary on evidence contained in London Plan Topic Paper: Hot Food Takeaways', https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/nlp_ad_91.pdf may be of interest to some. I'm guessing it's referring to https://www.london.gov.uk/sites/default/files/london_plan_topic_paper_on_hot_food_takeaways.pdf of 2018, but haven't yet checked.
