Today, in the big Boots by Bond St tube I was standing behind:


Jimmy Paige


Had to tell somebody.


I am cursing myself because there was a stray strand of hair stuck to the back of his coat, I could have plucked it off SO easily. How much would a hair of Jimmy Paige go for on Ebay I wonder?


Am now soaking in Led Zep memories; squeezing my lemon as I type.

Holy christ put this in the religion topic.

I would have died and gone to Led Heaven.

Is it just me but does he look more oriental as he gets older and greyer?


One of the actresses in the play with me works as a hostess in the VIP lounge at O2.

I mean, can you imagine?

No, seriously.

I once stood behind a long-haired flouncing git in the queue in camden virigin, harping on about how the music he was playing was a little bit Manic Nirvana a little bit Physical Graffiti. I coughed *tosser* under my breath and as he turned around it was Robert Plant!!

I immediately felt simultaneously starstruck and a bit of an idiot...but he is a bit of a flouncing git isn't he.

Actually Peckham Rose, a good friend of mine lives in a rural village near Wolverhampton (a bizzare juxstaposition I grant you). Near this village is the home of one Robert Plant.


I have seem him in and around the village a number of times and have twice been sat in a curry house with the great Percy.


Anybody know where John Bonham is buried?

May I sniff your coat please? I am in awe!!!!!


I saw him on the outrider tour in 1986 (IIRC) had front row, in the centre at Newcastle City Hall. He sat down tith his Dan Electric and I shouted "You really going to play Black mountainside - White Summer?" - "How did you know?" he replied. "You use that guitar for those songs because of the tuning....." He just laughed and shook my hand....never washed of for a week.


Miserable git never gave me his scarf at the end of the gig though...despite becoming bezzie mates in an instant...


Still always the next tour to look forward to.....

    • Leon responded quickly to my online enquiry and to follow-up texts when arranging a date for the work. He replaced a faulty switch for my outdoor sensor light. I expected it would be difficult to find an electrician willing to take on such a small job. So I was really pleased to find Leon and would definitely recommend him. 
    • I would not use anyone else, he now does my son and daughters boiler services and my own. He recently replaced a very old boiler and it all went well with a year guarantee.  Such a lovely person to deal with too. Very good value for money!  I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

    • Well why don’t you start totally backwards and have an idea as to what nursery and primary schools you want to target - plenty of good schools as you know each offering their own take.  large home - what are we talking about here 4/5 beds I assume with a large garden. North Dulwich Triangle - are you talking about Half Moon Lane and up to Herne Hill plus the other side say Stradella Road etc but don’t think your budget would stretch that far ! So really you want to reproduce what you have in and  around Abbeyville Road but  in Dulwich area to access both the good private and  state schools  - use to Live in Rodenhurst Road years ago - now they are nice big house with good gardens. How long do you want to commute to get to the City.? I assume you want to aces the city via ED Station or ND station and Denmark Hill Station. I know some people who actually cycle to work in the city - faster and not trapped in carriage like a sardine.! One would hope for the money you are considering spending, you won’t be undergoing major works. Dulwich Estate are not known to be the easiest to deal with and my recommendation if you are gonna be knocking down walls, building out or up is to get your self a good surveyor who is use to dealing with Dulwich Estate. My other suggestion would be to try out the trains in rush hour or when ever you both need to get into the City to work. Go walk in Dulwich Park and talk to the locals - that would give you an idea as well or do you have friends living locally. Houses around Telegraph Hill area would tick the boxes  and although limited with schooling might be OK. Good schools but not as much choice as Dulwich. To be perfectly  honest, with that budget and given the ages of your children why don’t you move to the country. -  much better for bringing up kids, commute would prob be under an hour depending on how far and which county. Your kids are still young so really education atm is not paramount. If moving to the country is too far a jump  then why don’t you consider maybe Beckenham or Bromley - lovely areas there as well. schools all decent to. Wishing you the best in your journey.
