A new season of Premiership Football is about to kick off, the new series of X Factor is currently being recorded in readiness for it?s usual 3 month run up until Christmas, Eastenders continues it?s relentless broadcast of BBC propaganda and the benefit cheques arrive in their millions ? unabated, despite the government promising otherwise.


So that?s 90% of the UK population happy with their lot then. Another 5% are happy with their lot because the aforementioned 90% are happy with their lot ? by design ? whether they voted for them or not, another 4% are just happy because their drug habit cons them into thinking that they are, which leaves the final 1% reaching for their keyboards to log on to the internet ? in attempt to inform the 90% that they need to wake up and smell the coffee.


But, will they ever listen. In fact, do they even want to listen. I?m beginning to wonder because history tells us that this has been going for some little while:


?Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions ? everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses?


Juvenal ? 100 A.D.


I don?t know what the answer is but I do know for certain that I?m definitely in the 1% that will continue to shout as loud as I can until an officer of the, soon to be formed, European Union Police Force rolls up with a 4?4, ties a rope to my keyboard and pulls it from my cold, dead hands.


Meanwhile, I?m off to grab the biggest tub of popcorn I can afford so that I can watch the continuing battery of hysteria surrounding the American downgrade from AAA to a Duracell AA ? amidst rumours that the USA will also be downgraded from a Super Power to a Wind Power and Barack Obama from President of the USA to a ?jug eared half Kenyan half wit? with a teleprompter addiction.


Incidentally, nothing on the current economic meltdown (Euro, Dollar or otherwise) from Cameron, Osbourne, Miliband Minor, Balls, et al ? I guess they?re all on holiday ? burying their heads on a sandy beach somewhere.


Oh well, happy days.


X Factor starts soon...

    • Hi, hoping for a bit of help from the forum hive mind so thanks in advance.... Our property on Barry Rd was included in the External Major works that took place in 2022 (Dulwich Externals QHIP 19/20 Street Properties).  Recently we have discovered that Saltash, the contractors who carried out the work, basically patched and painted instead of fixed or replaced rotten window frames and didn't do anything to the cracked brick work which has now caused a bad case of damp in our property. Does anyone whose property was included in the works have information of any warranty or guarantee of work that was promised by Saltash or the council? As we moved in just before the work took place we weren't privy to the original communications around the work and I'd like to know where we stand before approaching the council to get it fixed..  Thanks in advance of any help!
    • used to love Meson don felipe with the funny guitarist who used to climb up and play on a podium, still a nice lively atmosphere and we still pop in if at the young vic but there's a lot better Spanish eateries near Borough market which is closer to the Tate too. Barrafina, Brindisa (though neither are cheap) and a few weeks ago we tried one called Parrillan, where they bring a little grill to your table and you cook your own tapas - this one certainly ticks the box for quirky but the portions are small so the bill can mount up.
    • Their finest moment...
    • How about Ev or one of the other places under the railway arches in Isabella Street behind The Cut.  And there's leafy outdoor seating if the weather's nice.
