This personally was very sad news, my favourite author, and as many tributes have said, much more than just a 'spy novelist', he was a great storyteller and chronicler of post-war Britain, in particular Englishness and the decaying ruling class.


''The rats have taken over the ship''


Fascinating man who led a fascinating life.

Rest In Peace JLC...

Tommy Docherty. One time manager of Manchester United and had an exciting young team in the 70's. Reminded me one one of my favourite matches of that era.

There a programme on Radio 4 tomorrow at 20:00 about his life. I suppose deciding to become an Irish citizen was his best way of showing how much his disapproved of Brexit.

Yep, listened to it, he was definitely giving two fingers to Brexit.

And he was spot on about the difference between patriotism and nationalism...

      A good local hair salon

      By The Scorpion · Posted

      Azalea, it is Hair & Beauty at 79 Dartmouth Road, Forest Hill. Next door to the Alex TLC charity shop and opposite side to Forest Hill pools. The salon used to be further up the road towards FH station but moved to current location a few years ago. Closed on Mondays and Sundays. Phone number is 02086992020 My sister also goes to Adam, for cuts and colours/tints. If you choose to go there, tell him that Sue (and Jenni) recommended him 😉

      I'm still unclear, are we talking about wood pigeons or the descended rock doves (the Trafalgar Square pigeons). I hear wood pigeons a lot and one pair has nested in my garden this year, but I rarely see rock doves at all, and haven't for many years.

      Another shout out for my cleaner! I can highly recommend Solange. She is hard working and so lovely to have around the house!  She currently has some available slot! You contact her on 07778 736172 for more information. I’m happy to answer any question if you DM me. Thanks! T
