"The Legend, the Original Ken, My Dad tragically passed away on Saturday 13th of July, We are devastated beyond words, he was the kindest caring loving gentleman one could ask for and an amazing Dad & best friend, he opened Ken’s fish bar in 1984 & devoted all this time and energy there up until his last breath he was still in his favourite place. known my many as “father Ken” due to his many years of service in his adopted community of Dulwich which he loved. I will do my best to keep his Legacy as great as he created it but also know how difficult my challenges are ahead of me with out having my best friend, my teacher, my dad by my side. He will be missed by many 💔💔 Love you dad, rest in peace 💔💔"

I hadn't heard of Jack Karlson until today, although the Australians amongst us probably will. Scroll down to watch the video - I needed a lovely gurgle today amidst all this horrible news :

'Jack Karlson, who shot to fame after ‘succulent Chinese meal’ arrest, dies aged 82

Karlson immortalised the phrase ‘this is democracy manifest’ in what has been described as Australia’s pre-eminent meme'

Quincy Jones

Born March 14, 1933, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.

Died November 3, 2024 (aged 91), Los Angeles, California, U.S.

Simply a musical legend of his time who's contribution to RnB, Soul and jazz music should never be under estimated. 

Record producer, songwriter, composer, arranger, and film and television producer.

He worked with many of the soul and jazz legends himself, and he has a back catalogue of material I urge you to listen to and enjoy.

He will be sadly missed.

I was lucky enough to see West play Brunel in the state opening of St Pancras International.

Just found out that Penny Wooly/Archer died at the age of 105, playing the part until she was 103 - and the character about to celebrate her 100th on the programme

Duncan Norvelle, who had brief fame in national variety programmes before returning to the piers and winter gardens.  I sort of worked with him once upon a time.  Is that a mars bar in your trousers.  A different time.

Johnnie Walker, DJ

Really sorry to hear this. There are a lot of his programmes still on the BBC Sounds App.  Bob Harris took over Johnnie’s Sounds of the 70s programme at the end of October because Johnnie had pulmonary fibrosis which is a fairly unknown lung disease and he had got to the point that broadcasting was too difficult for him.  Johnnie and his wife supported the charity Action for Pulmonary Fibrosis and helped to raise awareness.  Please consider donating to them.  They are on Instagram.

      Police appeal: Monday, 25 August – Assault between the junction of Lordship Lane and Chesterfield Grove at around 16:45hrs

      Rather than zero tolerance, a term I should have not used, I should have referred to crime,  No crime (excluding some things which really should not be criminalised) should be tolerated (albeit the reaction to a naughty 13 year old will be different to a violent criminal, and similarly those with mental health issues there will be some flexibility), I' was talking zero crime, which is impossible. New York was vastly improved, what happened to that wonderful Giuliani chap? US is not a role model of course, homicides per head dwarf the UK; the damage that white flight and the desolation of inner cities that happened to  many places such as Baltimore, Washington DC and Detroit is difficult to turn round Much rather move this debate to the Lounge!

      The quarterly SNT Police Meetings are advertised on EDF - the one Beansprout mentions, is  Dulwich Hill. The team have been short  staffed for a number of months as one officer was injured trying to arrest a shoplifter - unfortunately the shoplifter got away but the officer was left with fractures. We regularly see one or two of the police team around the Dulwich Hill area (they were recently in Landells Road)  Dulwich Hill SNT are hoping to resume their Cuppa with a Copper sessions but are frequently asked to support colleagues policing the various protest marches.  The next Dulwich Hill SNT meeting is scheduled for December (date to be confirmed) The attack on the young woman would come under the Goose Green SNT.
