Good one Wee Quinnie.


I was given his Live DVD for Xmas by a so-called friend of mine who should know better. It's about as funny as cancer.

can't agree about Russell Brand being overrated - if anything his stand-up in under-rated. Although I have heard nothing but bad things about the DVD from other fans so I won't defend that Jah


this piece about the Sun remains a fave of mine




he is massively over-exposed tho

I find Russell Brand an interesting character.

I don't love him or hate him. He is everywhere you look.. which isn't always a good thing. But stuff like the Amnesty thing where (along with The Mighty Boosh) he was pretty-much the only thing worth watching have made me re-appraise.


Let's get shot of some real chaff before we bin The Brand.

Speaking of which, I notice Lenny Bloody Henry has been given yet another series on the Beeb.

How many years ago? "Three of a kind"?

I thought that was cutting-edge stuff - but then again I was only 8.

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
