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?"

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
