Tuesday was spent in bed with a poorly bum. This morning I managed to get up at 5.30am, avoid the QE2 Bridge closure traffic chaos and be outside my client's offices in West Thurrock at 7.15am. I also achieved having nothing more than a yoghurt to eat today and as result have achieved hunger. Better safe than sorry after yesterday.

Yesterday after a 7 hour long meeting I managed to settle a dispute that has been going on between 2 major stakeholders who are part of the body that makes up my employer. It was due to go to court in a month or so. After placating egos on both sides and letting grown men whinge like little girls I came up with a workable solution for both sides.


Did I get any thanks for it? Did I fuck!

I have so far disassembled some shelves (cleverly identifying I would need an Alan key to do it AND finding the right one), relocated said shelves (which I should add r rather heavy), relocated the last of the boxes that have needed shifting, shouted at Fred and Roodie for smashing my candle holders :'( yes I know they didnt mean to do it, cremated my brekkie while getting engrossed in the contents of the fridge and now I'm about to tackle a very old looking computer desk and the bed! :))

I have found my missing for ages Funkadelic CD in the attic and loaded onto my desktop and Ipod which was immensley satisfying. I have beeen on Betfair and looked at my P&L for Cheltenham which was less so...Manu u to score more than 4 against Derby will help claw something back....

I have managed to achieve having my name as the "last post posted" far too many times today.Including now for this thread.

I have achieved procrastination to the highest order.


I think admin should take full responsibility for my inability to get on with my huge long list of things that need doing, and should bar me until I have demonstrated I am mature enough to handle myself appropriately.

Got a ticket for the ECL game against Pool. Can't wait for this game, and the games against Rapid Fulham, and Man ure in coming weeks. It will show who is really up for the title. And whoever comes out on top will deserve it. It's Man Ures to lose at this point.

      Chango - New local gem alert!

      By Sue · Posted

      But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

      Poundland East Dulwich soon to be replaced by Tesco Express

      ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."

      You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
