New Years Eve, hopefully the end of a terrible year around the world and looking forward to a prosperous and better 2022.


What better way to kick off this final day then with some inspiring "going home for the weekend" tunes;


Robert Upchurch, The devil made me do it.




Jon Lucian , Listen love




Lonnie Liston Smith, Expansions


 

In honour of Paul Carrick, who appeared on a repeat of Pointless on Friday. Not going to do Mike and the Mechanics - Ace played locally and there is a poster up which includes one of their gigs at the Newlands/Ivy


 

Lyrics to the above:


We stood on the shoulders of giants

Like atlas with the burden of faith

We clasped our hands in praise

Of a conqueror's right to tyranny

This is a language that has not passed

Our lips in one thousand years


So heretics I call to you

Partisans stand as one

Rebels raise your voices

If not then all is lost


This is the death of the Republic and make no mistake

The senate is lost and Zeus is laughing

So Mars God of war can you hurl a lightning bolt

To smash the temple of the blind

The Tiber is over flowing with the blood of innocent men


And so we stood, among thieves, liars and murderers

Whose names shall live in eternal rest and infamy

Disgraced kings enshrined with their pious men

Who ruled us all with the bloodied spear of destiny


You knew my name before I was born

You knew my death from the moment it passed my lips


This is the death of the Republic

Dead and gone with Pearse in the grave

Haunted to the end by the ghosts of Connolly's army

Skeletal fingers on the trigger of Collins' demise

And Parnell's dreams are turned to nothing but dust


"And I say to my people's masters: beware, beware of the

Thing that is coming, beware of the risen people, who shall

Take what we would not give.

Did ye think to conquer the people, or that law is stronger

Than life and than men's desire to be free?"

    • what type of car was it, if they are in demand, might be helpful info.
    • Which has, unfortunately, closed. Au Ciel is much better than Gail's. Big bakery in the parade of shops near Rocca in Dulwich Village with all the seats outside - you can't miss it. Normally a big queue outside at weekends with walkers and cyclists topping up on carbs and coffee!
    • Hi, just to say there was an attempted car theft at the FH end of Underhill over Friday night. Without wanting to go into all the detail, they were pretty adamant and took a great deal of time to (try) take the car. The police came within minutes, and drove around etc.. The police said the car was in demand at the moment. I don’t know if that was brand or model. notwithstanding what the police said, all car owners should be vigilant and neighbours. These thieves were interrupted twice by neighbours, but the thieves came back etc and the neighbours didn’t put 2+2 together as to what was happening to the car. The thieves were two guys, on the cctv it looked like they were wearing grey, but it may have been black (cctv can look odd at night). My neighbours said they were black. They had a bag with them, no doubt carrying tools and they may have been dropped off by a car, that is being investigated.  Take care!!
