Always did where I came from.


Anyway I don't know why you brought up Sid James he wasn't as talented as Graeme Smith in the chin department which may or may not have helped when playing an Englishman. But that is neither here nor there. Although incidentaly Sid James died after collapsing on stage in Sunderland which is where Lewis Carroll was from. Lewis Carroll did not play cricket and wasn?t South African but he did have a chin albeit a rather unremarkable one. And I now cannot mention him without getting that dammed Jamelia song stuck in my head but that probably makes less sense to me than it does to you. Sid James now haunts the Sunderland Empire and another South African is playing the lead role in the first instalment of Ingerland?s summer of Carry On Cricket starting next week with Carry On Up The MCC. Staring Kevin Peitersen as the plucky cockney with the Broad, Sidebottom sisters supporting.

Morning all.


Well the weather seems to be holding for now with the match due to start in 15 minutes. England are on a winning streak but South Africa haven?t lost a test match on this ground since they stopped being a bunch of dirty racists and were let back into international cricket.


South Africa are clear favourites with Smith, Kallis, Pietersen, Prince and Strauss all likely to get runs in this series. Their bowling is also strong although perhaps insane with the village idiot as first change:

Using a similar tactic England has sought the help of a bearded lady.

    • Hi Sue, they were not local solicitors. Andrea’s was based in Wales and the other firms involved were large nationwide conveyancing companies (rather than conventional high street solicitors). I’m happy to advise clients and buyers privately on what I believe to be their shortcomings but I don’t think doing so in public on the forum would be appropriate, particularly as they are not locally based. My general advice would always be to steer clear of the big conveyancing companies as they are, in my experience, notoriously difficult to contact when the need arises and the case handler is often not a fully qualified solicitor and so issues have to be referred upwards to “technical teams” internally, which was part of the problem in Andrea’s chain.

    • A slightly vulnerable but hopeful post… Hi everyone, I’m a guy in my mid-thirties who’s recently moved back to London and East Dulwich (I previously lived here for many years before, so I know the area well). But if I’m honest, I’ve found the return a little tough. Most of my close friends have moved out of London to start families — totally understandable — but it’s left me feeling a bit adrift and not quite sure how to make new connections again. Work has taken up a huge chunk of my life in recent years, and I’ve definitely let hobbies, interests and a proper social life fall by the wayside. I feel like I went from a fun social life in my 20’s to suddenly blinking and realising things had gone a bit er…quiet. So, I’m trying to redress the balance a bit — mainly so myself and my partner don’t murder each other 😂, and just to meet some new local faces. I was wondering: is anyone else in a similar boat? And would there be any interest in starting a relaxed, low-key local social group? Could be a casual pub meet, sports, park hangouts, live comedy nights — open to ideas!  I’m happy to do the organising/admin side of things — just wanted to put it out there and see if there’s any appetite. I’ll gauge interest and take it from there.  If you’d prefer not to reply publicly, feel free to drop me a DM.  Cheers all! 👋
    • It's Inner London. You could move somewhere else?
    • They are people.  That's how people often behave.
