Ah well - there's always the next best option - scarcely discernible (?) from the real thing...the annual Southwark Irish Festival down on Peckham Rye.


Mind you, of course, given the dates and location of the real thing: the P Rye one has a sporting chance of not being lashed off the face of the earth with rain.

Well the only option left is to galvanise an army of hardcore fans dressed as characters from the show (I think I would make a passable Dougal) to storm the perimeter fence. Much like Glastonbury in days passed.

Youghal brings back many happy memories to me of driving between Rosslare and Cork, and stopping there for either a coffee near the Arch in the one-way system, or a Guinness and orange-cheese sandwich in one of the pubs (every Irish pub seems to sell cheese sandwiches with processed orange cheese in...). I remember too first pronouncing "Youghal" to rhyme with "Dougal".... ahem

    • A friend has asked me to recommend Juliene for regular cleaning as she has some slots available. Her phone number is 07751426567
    • I'd put short odds on that but who would be his likely successor?
    • Hi, I went to the council's planning portal to look at the application, and I encourage others to look at it. It looks like a pleasant building, with thoughtful landscaping. as Pugwash said, the big oak would be retained, only two smaller trees are supposed to be cut, one of which is already dead according to the Tree Survey. It sounds like 38 people in great need of it will gain supported housing thanks to this development, a very positive change. Of course a solution has to be found for the 3 who will need to find other accommodation during the works, but that doesn't seem enough of a reason to oppose the development. The current building is 4 stories, so I would be surprised if one extra storey was considered objectionable, especially considering the big oak stands between the building and the neighbours' back gardens and the fact that the neighbours it's backing onto are all 5 stories houses themselves or only have blank walls facing the building. In the context where affordable housing is sorely missing, a 100% supported housing development is great news. Personally I've never seen a less objectionable planning request
    • I also wonder if all this, recently events and so many u turns is going to also be the end of Kier Starmer.
