Dear Bookgroup,

So please come along with questions/observations/opinions  about The Moonstone (this isn’t a programme about Elly’s own novels ).

The program is in Broadcasting house at 18.30, you need to be there at 18.00 and we can go for a cheep Thai meal after. 

I have tickets for Hamnet at the Garrick theatre on 10th January at 19.30.  We read the book some time ago. So far Gail, Alice, me Caroline and Shelagh, Kathleen Gillen & Joe Cooper have signed up. There is one ticket left, they are cheap: £28.00 if you want to come let me know ASAP other wise I’ll cancel the one left.

Dear book group,

We have been invited to attend radio four's book club again:

Ayọ̀bámi Adébáyọ̀ - Stay With Me

Wednesday 10 July at 1830 - BBC Broadcasting House, London W1A 1AA

We need to arrive at broadcasting house which is just north of Oxford Circus by 18.00.

You need to have read the book and send me two questions which I send to the producer.

These are always good fun and quite a buzz to hear your self on the radio when it gets transmitted.

We then go for a cheap Thai meal around the corner.

Please let me know if you want to come along.

Chick

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Dulwich dweller · Posted

      It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Dulwich dweller · Posted

      Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃

      Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....
