I worked some years ago with a homeless man who was admitted to hospital but had nowhere to rehabilitate. He was placed as a temporary resident in a local care home as it was the middle of winter and since he was in his 70/80s it was the only solution available at the time. Even though he knew I was contacting various agencies (St Mungo etc)to find him a hostel place, he decided that after a few days regaining his strength and having 3 meals a day, he preferred to live on the streets. An outreach team agreed to keep an eye on him.

Confused.Com..........".Benevides's attorney said that tabloid reports of an estate worth $32 million were an overestimate. ".......that suggests that Raymond still left a tidy sum to his sole beneficiary or am I confusing Fact with Fiction here?

Fiction, I am mixing real life in Dulwich with a 1970s TV programme. Glad to hear that the star of a series that portrayed disabled people positively did well, although I expect he was able bodied (and clearly died years ago). But I do love a bit of trivia and better gem up on this sort of thing for when I am Pointless or Millionaire. What was the other programme I was thinking about?

I knew he played Ironsides without even Googling.

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
