Palace support used to be quiet but is fantastic now, one of the best in the league. 3-0 down at home to Forest last Saturday, crowd still in full voice and lots of praise from Sky commentators and pundits.


It made a change to be at a Palace game on the last day of the season and have nothing riding on it. Hopefully the football will be better next year, but no worries about the atmosphere and should be great v West Ham. It will certainly be friendlier than the Millwall game, do you plan to visit there as well?

I've been there with my Norwich mate, but will give the WH game a miss, not worth the aggro, in this case quite literally.


I actually quite like selhurst park, go there with my Norwich and my Wednesday mates most seasons, but the footie's usually pretty poor (from all sides). Though in fairness with a young mocklet I haven't been this season and am willing to believe in improvements in football and atmosphere (they usually go hand in hand).


I look forward to the game between us next season, especially as we'll be filling an otter full of beer too.

Any chance Kilmarknock might make the SPL interesting today? They've already lost 5 times this season to Rangers. Given that run I suppose statistically its creeping ever closer to a non Rangers win result! I really thought Celtic where the better team in Scotland this year. What went wrong?

      Aroma Lab

      By apocalypsedreams · Posted

      I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!

      Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter.

      Franklins is being sold

      By Sue · Posted

      So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      I would hope that is extremely unlikely. If people accidentally vote for someone, that's their own fault, isn't it?
