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?

    • Sadly I think you will never convince people like this. They think gardens have to be kept chopped back and controlled. My theory is that this comes from being (or trying to be) controlling in every aspect of their lives, so I doubt if anything you could say or show them would have any effect. But are they actually coming into your garden or leaning over into it and pulling up/damaging things? If so, maybe one of our community police people could have a word with them?
    • Dear Nature lovers - advice please. I am being harassed by a neighbour who doesn't like my standard of gardening which she calls 'messy'. (I have rewilded my garden with advice from the London Wildlife Trust and a gardening expert from The Times.) I have twice caught this neighbour and her husband pulling up my plants and damaging my trees. Plus she has photographed my house, and sent a dozen complaints to the Dulwich Estate about my plan to rewild the verge outside my property - approved by the Estate some 4 years ago in line with their stated policy of supporting biodiversity in and around Dulwich. What can I do to introduce these neighbours  to the benefits to us all of returning a portion of our gardens to nature?
    • Have you tried Southwark's leisure centres? As a regular attendee at Peckham, Camberwell, The Castle and speaking to friends, the dance routines for all ages are similar to Silver ones. In addition Natty, Bianca and Isac are brilliant instructors. 
    • 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!!
