The contemptible cult of celebrity rears its sorry head again. Who gives a d**n whether JN or JB lives in ED or not? Is there really anyone who is such a sad, fickle, wannabe that they would actually choose a location to live in based upon its so-called celebrity inhabitants??? This really does make me wanna barf!

Can?t be helped MP. I like to think I?m an honest guy and you should read some of the twaddle I produce sometimes.


A friend of mine audits the circulation figures for papers and I?ve watched him pull his hair out over the last year trying to deal with the explosion of unmonitorable (is that a word) free papers.

Rob, I do buy a "real newspaper" every day but also pick up a free paper just to catch up on what the uneducated little people are reading! I think the opinions of anyone who would like to "void" another person's opnion simply because of what they chose to read should be void.

    • Has anyone found a car key fob in College Road SE21 or Dulwich Park?  Lost it at about midday Wednesday 17th December.  
    • An excellent point, ed. I reckon you could possibly get the cheese down to 75g per person depending on how many courses, the cheese media one is using and the accompiaments. A thicker biscuit can really increase the power of your cheese dollar. I'd also recommend putting all the last year's chutneys and pickles from the back of the cupboard in a single Kilner jar, adding a bit of malt vinegar and a grated apple, then attaching a hand written label saying 'Pikey's Pickle: Autumn 2025'.  It's not Megan Markle levels of domestic deceit, but it works every time. Pre-portioning cheese seems arbitrary, but I think acceptable when it's 20 people. It gives people an idea of how much a serving is, and negates the issue of somebody, normally a brother in law or cousin's new boyfriend, not taking their share of the rind. Remember, you're doing them a favour. Somewhere in the room there's an older family member who could see it and never forget. It's disinheritance stuff. It also gives rise to the great postprandial game of 'Cheese!' where guests can swap their share of cheese for another. Tastier than Monopoly and far less cardboardy, cheeses can be traded like currency or commodities. Hard and soft cheeses, dependent on their relative strengths, normally settle at close to parity but I've seen blue cheeses trade at less than half the price.  It's a Stilton lover's paradise, if you can hold your nerve.  Goat cheese lovers can clean up, but need to beware. As volatile as the 1970's Argentinian Peso, it's up and down like a bride's nightie.   I think I'll stick to Neal's Yard, then.
    • Another vote for The Cheese Block on LL but for 20 adults, you'd better be willing to pay a fair chunk of money or hope that they'll be happy with very small amounts of cheese! Other than that, supermarket or search online for a large Christmas cheese hamper and take your pick. For example: https://www.finecheese.co.uk/collections/christmas-selections-hampers (only mentioning them as we had a gift hamper, much smaller than a big Christmas one, from them a while ago and it was very nice). I'm sure there are other excellent options.
