for those who - like me - were wondering, diligent Googling has shown that the image behind Morrissey was a still of Tony Franciosa from Senilita (1962) directed by Mauro Bolognini and based on a book by Italo Svevo.


The female star was Claudia Cardinale and the film was marketed in France under a title meaning 'When flesh succumbs' - surely some subtext here?

Good old Chris Martin was certainly 'every inch' the cock last night, writhing around on his back like some achingly romantic crab - and tossing-out wince-inducing lines to the crowd whilst caressing his guitar which was personalised with deep, meaningful and crazy graffiti slogans.


But they do have more than just a few songs which are really rather good, and are perfectly suited to that place and slot. And and basically everyone loved it. So fair play to 'em. And well done, Chris, you great big tit.

Well, let's think. The ones with 30,000 people singing along in unison from start to end are probably the good ones.


The ones where people stand around scratching their heads and talking amongst themselves whilst waiting for the ones where they can sing along in unison from start to end - are probably the crap ones.

I'm not sure how Elbow suddenly became national treasure status but their first album has some pretty great moments and I've not minded anything subsequent.

Coldplay. Yes, CM is a cock, yes everything theyve done post parachutes is done to a boring forumla, but I actually really rather like their first album too. File it under nicholas cage.

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
