Good answer, SJ.


What do they listen to now? I'm backing La Perri's delightful dirge of the wronged party, Jar of Hearts.


Jeremy, good shout but for our doomed couple I'm saying red + pot of supermarket hummus and some of those Thai Chilli flavour Sensations.

Who do you think you are?

Runnin' 'round leaving scars

Collecting your jar of hearts

And tearing love apart

You're gonna catch a cold

From the ice inside your soul

So don't come back for me

Who do you think you are?


Sniffle. So what are we drinking, Edcam, five years later, with that little celebration of "I'm so over you, baby"? Unchilled vodka from the bottle, yesterday's underpants gathering your tears in your lap, A Place in the Bastard Sun on mute in the background?

I'd drink meths in order to avoid having to listen to that song again! Those lyrics are APPALLING!!

D_C has the spirit of it, I think.


Jeremy, I fear Jar of Hearts is a joke, but a very public one.


Otta, yes, good shout. And actually while we're here I think Keep Bleatin' would fit the mood too.


Magpie and Salsaboy, I think you need to indulge a little, let the hygiene slip for a week or two, put on a little weight, wander from room to room wondering how it can be that even the walls and floors seem to hate you.


Anyway, I've a feeling our couple's older brothers would have listened to Everybody Hurts BITD whilst eating a kilo of qwik cook pasta 'n' cheap pesto from the corner shop. Their little sisters perhaps digging into You're Beautiful and a gross of Fruit n Nut. All of Coldplay gets an outing, of course.

Your mate and his wife were going to play the Armadillo? Impressive. Oh right.


I think Jeremy and Otta are right. 1990s: he - Oasis and curry; she - Angels and a kebab.


Then, later, when they've moved to London and taken their drugs and spent a couple nights a year at The Fridge, they've bought a house together over in ED. There's this new band that reminds them of the old days; they like to play the song while they stay in on a Friday night - too tired now to go out. Middle management and middle wage killing them. Just them, the occasional joint perhaps, and Gary.


Five years later, she's moved abroad "for work". They haven't told their parents. He's all snot, used underpants, and room temperature Vodka. He Skypes her at 2am - early evening for her - and she's online but she doesn't answer.


Still, at least he's kept the house in ED, and the Forum log-in.

It wasn't Blossom Hill, was it.


It was Jacobs Creek & that bitter taste slowly sliding down the back of the throat.


" Have you sneaked another one whilst I was in the loo "


"No, honest .....I haven't" he protests, eyebrows arching high on his forehead


"You have, there was more there before " she says, looking down at the powder obscuring the C.D's play list.


He stays silent.....

    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s. 
    • A bit of a long shot but I'm on the lookout for a portable pop-up counter or podium.   The kind you often see on a high street, used by charities or utility companies to advertise their wares.   I've included a photo to give you the idea. I'm a peckham-based artist and am looking for one for a free (and non-profit) community art project.  It can be in any workable condition and can already have signage on it as we will remove and redecorate ourselves.    Thanks in advance, Linzie
    • No I absolutely did not - that much is clear. Have you read the latest stories about Unite, Len and the hotel in Birmingham? The UK electorate were smart enough to reject a far-left party in 2019, let's hope they are smart enough to reject a far-right party at the next election too. If not we are all doomed.
