I?m enjoying Californication at the moment. It has a pretty shallow plot and explores the much rehashed theme of the man (or-woman of course) unto himself (or herself) going through life bemused by its absurdity, repulsed but dependent at the same time.


Raul Duke, Henry Chinaski, the Dude or Spider Jerusalem but packaged in a more, ?your mum will fancy him? kinda way.


It is playing up to my recent loss of faith in human nature (Like the Daily Mail to a Xenophobic). Plus it has lots of naked ladies.

old hat

Sopranos was the one for the Keef household, but alas it's all over.


Best British made thing was Ideal, but that's finished now too (I think).


Quite liked Rome too, but don't think they're doing a 3rd series... Why have all the good things ended.


Other than that, TV is generally sh!te, I tend to watch DVD's in my evenings.


Am planning to get some DVDs of The Wire and Spooks to give them a go... I find it hard getting in to TV series, because you have to commit to finding the time to watch them.

From what I read, Gene gets a transfer down to London (cue soft southern jokes) in 1982 (if memory serves), and is given a female partner who is a single mother (cue sexist jokes). Sounds bloody great to me!!! >:D<

Thanks for the warning Sean & Mockney resisted reading that blog (well don't want to ruin it now do I), AND then.......................

"Damn you,........ damn you all"


Still Randy is so funny & some good eye candy in Joy & Catalina :))

>>Another show I'm in to and I can highly recommend is Weeds <<


Oh ym goodness yes! The lecture by the uncle to the young nephew on the subject of masturbation in the last series was just hilarious!....as were all the subsequent visual jokes involving snacks of bananas...:))

Who is watching repeats of "No Angels" on Trouble. Funny and sad I think it is brilliant british comedy drama. As some will know I'm very parochial regarding TV. Got to be British. got to be relevant to me and my life.



Caught a little of The Street last night. Is that harrowing or what. Is it any good?

This is what I'm currently watching:

Have been addicted to Japanese tv since my late teens (many moons ago) Japanese drama, comedy and romance series are second to none.


The only thing worth watching at the moment on UKTV for me is the new series of The Mighty Boosh, and I really miss the IT crowd it has to be said.

Has anyone been watching the Tudors on BBC2?


It's the last one next Friday. I thinks it's been brilliant and didn't realise Henry VIII was so hot when he was young! The guy playing his brother-in-law is gorgeous too.


Lots of sex and violence, but set in an historical drama, so acceptable!

    • They are very good
    • Having  current and relevant experience of both Charter North and Charter East with regards to their conduct towards SEN pupils and their families, I would say that their conduct and behaviour is wholly lacking in understanding as well as making no effort to make reasonable adjustments for the SEN pupil as legally required under Equality Act 2010. Furthermore, I believe that their behaviour is wholly illegal. According to data from Ambitious About Autism, unfortunately that is not uncommon We have separately requested legal advice as to whether or not the specific conduct of the school and certain teachers constitutes a criminal offence under the Children and Young Persons Act 1933 or other legislation. These links have some very good materials to assist parents: https://www.ambitiousaboutautism.org.uk https://www.ambitiousaboutautism.org.uk/understanding-autism/education/exclusions-know-your-rights https://www.ipsea.org.uk https://sossen.org.uk   Also, this link specifically for girls with autism as this tends to be diagnosed at a much later stage than boys and requires different support and reasonable adjustments that the neither of the policies nor behaviours of Charter East or Charter North reflect. https://autisticgirlsnetwork.org   Helen Hayes MP for Dulwich & West Norwood and whose constituency includes Charter North is Chair of the Education Committee at the Houses of Parliament They published this report on the SEND crisis on 18 Sept 2025 https://committees.parliament.uk/work/8684/solving-the-send-crisis/   Ellie Reeves (Rachel Reeves’ sister and formerly Chair of the Labour Party) is the MP for Lewisham West and East Dulwich - the constituency under which Charter East falls I would urge any parents who are concerned about their children, whether SEN or not, who attend Charter North or Charter East to write to your MP canvassing their support and requesting that they write to their respective school on this subject, referencing this report of the Education Committee and the failures of Charter East and Charter North with regards to SEN, their illegal behaviour and soliciting a plan of action from them to immediately stop such behaviour and support SEN pupils with reasonable adjustments as required under the Equality Act 2010. Even if your child is not SEN, the school implementing the correct and legally required procedures materially improves the school environment for all pupils, teachers and non-teaching staff. Often the reasonable adjustments can actually be relatively minor but have a very material benefit. In our experience, there have been one or two teachers who have shown this with very positive results; however, this is the opposite of the institutional approach of both schools which is wholly negative, unsupportive and often illegal. In addition to EHCPs, there is also huge pressure at CAMHS and insufficient resource to support all cases and meet demand.  Even if families and their child are lucky to get access to it, there remains very long wait lists to access treatment.  The same is true in the private sector. A proactive and practical, common sense approach to SEN in this manner by Charter North and Charter East would also help to reduce pressure on CAMHS The latest tragedy last week at Charter North means that this is more pressing than ever.    
    • Thought I'd add a comment as sadly there are now too many primary schools for the number of children in this area... St Anthony's is a wonderful school and my 2 sons were extremely happy throughout the time they were there. They have some open days for reception and  nursery in Nov I believe and welcome children and families of all faiths and backgrounds. It has lovely staff and I cannot recommend it more highly!
    • Anyone has lavender buds they don’t want/that I could harvest/cut and use? Ideally in Peckham/ED goose green area.  Thanks in advance!
