Chelsea Hospital Chapel.

Bring a little cheer to the Old Pensioners.

They could even sing your favorite hymns.

All for the price of a drink for each (that's only about 350 In Pensioners )


TEN OLD Soldiers ( Chelsea Pensioners)?


Ten Old Soldiers Parading for inspection in a line,

one forgot to put his boots on and then there were Nine.

Nine Old Soldiers sitting up talking very late,

one dropped off to sleep and then there were Eight.

Eight Old Soldiers went on a holiday to Devon,

one said he'd stay there and then there were Seven.

Seven Old Soldiers sparing with swordsticks,

one sliced himself in halves and then there were Six.

Six Old Soldiers dancing and twisting in the jive

one tied himself in knots and then there were Five.

Five Old Soldiers leaving through a revolving door,

one kept going back and then there were Four.

Four Old Soldiers went out on a shopping spree,

one did not get there in time and then there were Three.

Three Old Soldiers catching the train at Waterloo,

one could not get his kitbag in so now there is Two.

Two Old Soldiers sitting on the beach in the sun,

one got chatted up by a Dolly Bird and then there was One.

Just one Old Soldier left thinking what could be done,

he went and joined up again and there was none.

Hi SCSB,


Might be worth telling your friend to take a look at this page;

I guess each person's idea of 'funky' will vary, and of course if they actually want to hold their civil ceremony at the venue it will need to be licensed - not sure all the above suggestions are, though that doesn't stop you holding your reception there (or getting married the day before 'officially' at registry office, then having unofficial 'ceremony' of your choice on the day itself at any venue - you can even get a guy who will act as a 'Phoney Bishop' (or not a Bishop, but any person of your choosing on the day) to oversee your personal 'vows'). Sue has his name and contact details.


I think a lot of the venues on her page are unusual, and not ones I new about previously - Wilton's Music Hall seems pretty cool to me, as is Perch Studios, and the Garden Museum with the right lighting.


Hope this helps.

    • Does anyone know what happened to the lovely willow tree on the rye? 
    • Long shot, but I don’t suppose anyone has a Sticklinch car parking ticket that they don’t need for Glastonbury? Or could switch with my general parking ticket at all? Thanks!
    • Many years ago, our neighbours were in a Southwark rented property. Both flats in house had access to a shared garden which was fenced off part way with each flat having their own piece of land. The front garden was shared and since both flats had young children, they put up a fence and gate between front door and pavement. Nothing was said by the council and even though those neighbours are now living else where, the fence and gate still remain and Southwark owns the freehold.
    • If you can use it exclusively for yourself for 12 years it might become yours by default under squatters rights? Maybe whack a bench on it and plant some flowers and then a little hedge around the perimeter to keep people out? I'm not sure if any of this is legal but it might be fun finding out?
