My flatmate's bedroom on the ground floor. (Hiding from a certain visitor and had to eventually 'escape' through the window out the back)


An unassuming nightclub in mid-90s Prague. (Turned out to be a VERY naughty but bizarre sex show, pole-dancing place to the joy of all three male friends I was travelling with)


Kebab & Wine. East Dulwich. Every time.




Quids, my mates used to say I spent most of the evening at Turnmills in the loos (nothing dodgy, just applying lipstick for the thousandth time).

Nope, by 1990 I was gentrified it wasn't me :))

*Pulau Nias, Indonesia. Renamed it island of liars after a week.

*Cells at Chelsea police stn with knife wounds and refusing a doctor treat them (and somehow avoiding a search so they didn't find my 1/2 oz of red lebanese, even though I had a 12" pipe in rasta colours sticking out of breast pocket of my dinner jacket, weird).

*Burmese military cells for being caught camping alone in area controlled by the Mon National Liberation Army.

*On a plan from Dacca, Bangladesh to Rangoon when a fight between 30-40 drunk Indians/Burmese broke out, was sure we were all gonna die that flight. At Rangoon the army came on board and were less than subtle in their resolution of the situation.

*Bob Dylan concert at Brixton Acadamy about 5 years ago when the man didn't even pick-up his guitar, sang like my cat being shampooed and even tried to 'dance'.

*Stepping onto a street in Aldershot when an orange VW Beetle should have known I wasn't looking.

*Court for drink-driving when I'd gone to get my bag from my car and 2 guys in the car park looking for a lift decided to force me to drive them across Berkshire. I got a split face and lost a tooth, pulled-in at a gas station and told attendant to call the police. 1 year ban.

KK, great list, and you've reminded me.


* Plane in Burma. One of the last two remaining in the Burmese plane collection. All the others had crashed. When we took off we realised why. Too late.


We were the only people on the plane who weren't Burmese, and we were seated at the front with some military top brass.


Once we were airborne, I turned round and saw that all the other passengers on the plane were praying :))


We'd had to pay an arm and a leg in bribes to get on the plane in the first place, as well :))


* Oh yeh and Pangandaran in Java. My then partner was witness to the theft of a wallet. The thief tried to pin it on my partner. We spent the whole night at the police station where what seemed like the whole population of Pangandaran was trying to peer in the windows, then the police took the thief round the back of the building, beat him up and let us go :-S

Ooh... Kings Cross Water Rats, when The Busines were playing, some time in the early/mid 90s. A group of neo-nazis (combat 18?) turned up and smashed the place up, in retaliation for the band playing at a recent anti-racism rally. A friend of ours (who was playing in the support band) got stabbed. We (four teenagers from Hertfordshire) ran to Kings Cross station as fast as we could.

      Cheese shops

      By Spartacus · Posted

      I hear there was a bear seen in Dulwich Park this week, a bear warden was dispatched by Southwark to capture it. They used a piece of cheese as Bears are partial to cheese (not marmalade sandwiches) and was heard crying "Camembert  Camembert" to coax it out.

      Sorry. They have become a bit grating. It was just a rarebit of fun.

      Oxfam postcard campaign: If you could put into words…

      By IlonaM · Posted

      'You’ve shown time and time again that you care about what’s happening in Gaza. If you could put it into words, what would your message of solidarity with Palestinians be? You can now pick up a free postcard in your local Oxfam shop to write your message – expressing how you feel about the atrocities happening to people in Gaza. Post it back to us, and we’ll take it to the Labour Party Conference in September. Many MPs will be there. So will the Prime Minister. This is a big opportunity to speak up for Palestinians and show the breadth and depth of the UK public feeling about this. Roba, an Oxfam colleague in Gaza, has been sharing her experience. It’s hard to read, but it’s important these stories are heard: “You can’t truly understand what starvation is until you’ve felt it. Until it is no longer just a word, but a daily reality that consumes life. There is nothing more soul crushing than hearing a child cry. Not for toys, not for luxuries. But simply for a loaf of bread. That tiny little voice bidding for something so basic. So human. We’re not demanding anything grand. We’re seeking the bare minimum to stay alive. And when you can’t answer that cry, when all you have are empty hands and a heavy heart, it leaves a mark that never fades.” We’re seeing a shift from our government. But they’re not doing enough. Despite changing their tone and acknowledging that there is a risk Israel has breached International Humanitarian Law, they are continuing to allow the sale of arms to the Israeli government. They need to see and feel your emotion. People are starving to death. People are being shot at whilst collecting aid. People are being displaced, time and time again. And Israel's decision to take direct military control of Gaza City marks a dangerous escalation. Israel continues to illegally occupy the Palestinian territory and this latest plan is a brazen act of erasure carried out in full view of the world. When will our government take action and say ENOUGH? So please, share your message. You can even add your name and postcode if you’d like us to try and get your postcard in front of your own MP. Ghada, our colleague in Gaza, said: “Every action, every voice, adds to a movement that can’t be ignored. This is not just about politics. This is about humanity. It’s about solidarity. It’s about refusing to stay and be silent.” We will never stop speaking up for Palestinians in Gaza. Thank you for being here, Charlotte Campaign Engagement Manager'
