Given that a large portion of Jo Brand's comedy is her talking about how much she likes cake/food it's not necessarily wrong for people to pick up on that


Having said that, people do seem to take inordinate amount of joy in taking the mick out of her in an unnecissarily personal way. I left her comedy behind years ago but she seems like a good egg to me

And he was on the 17.48 to ED from London Bridge yesterday. I resisted the temptation to yell, "Why have you drugged their onions?" at him...

I think this is the same lady who was in that show about young lawyers. Think it was called This Life? Bizarrely the BBC use her to present online legal training modules - sitting behind a lawyer's desk! (assuming its the same woman we're talking about. Ignore me if we're not.)

I've lived in ED for 10 years and have seen the following bods in Sainsbury's and other assorted shops and pubs:

Jimmy Nesbitt

Paul McGann

Adrian Lester

Steve Sutherland (ex-NME editor)

Gary Stringer (singer from Reef)

Jo Brand

Helen Lederer

Dan Cruickshank (he was investigation ED architecture)

Shirley from EastEnders (always wearing shades - no matter the weather)

Jenny Eclair (my mate bought an old Merc from her)

Josie Lawrence

Olivia Colman

Vincent Regan (big Oirish fella - 300/Clash of the Titans/The Street)

Timothy and Rafe Spall

Joanna Scanlon (The Thick Of It/Getting On)

Lesley Sharpe

It's a veritable cleb spotter's dream!

Sat next to Clare Holman (the forensic scientist in the follow on from Morse - Lewis) at Greenwich Picture House yesterday, while watching Tinker Tailor etc - V. Excellent film BTW.


The sat opposite Ros Kemp at the Rivington Cafe at Greenwich Picture House.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
