Alright people, it's Leon from the SLP.


Remember we played you guys last year? Well this year we'd like to play you again, if you're up for it.


I think we all had a good time and maybe this year we could include more drinking on the pitch and pub time in the event.


Our team has started having net sessions and we'd like to invite you along if you fancy some knocky-knocky. It sounds serious but it's not, I promise.


We play on Sundays outdoors from about 11.30am at the nets on Clapham Common, near Clapham South Tube Station, and from next Thursday at the Latchmere Leisure Centre in Battersea at 9.30pm. That's a bit late and I know both venues are out of your manor but we found last year the time worked well because most people aren't up to much else then.


Also, we're trying to be really organised this year and get stuff sorted early. We've booked some pitches on Wandsworth Common for matches - at great expense - so we could have an "away" match for you as well as a Belair Park game.


But there's no doubt we'll be short of players so if any of you lot want to play in any of our other games you're more than welcome. The first match we're playing is on April 26.


As I said, it all sounds serious but I promise it's not - we've got a very wide range of abilities, i.e. many of us are crap, but we're all united by a mutual love of cricket. And smack.

Ok,


The King's Road Cricket and Social Club council of elders has met (online). We have decided to suggest you play us in a match at our place - Wandsworth Common - on May 18.


The pitch there is better than at Belair and it has a nice pub nearby.


We've already got it booked (we just booked a few dates a couple of weeks ago) but if you don't want to play then we can find other opposition and play on another date - we have June 15, July 5 and 26 booked as well.


Then we could play you at Belair at some point in the summer in a return match, which you'll get booked.


The only proviso is that you do your best to get 11 on the pitch. Neither team can guarantee getting 11 - I'm sure we'll find it difficult - but it's a bit rubbish if both teams turn up with seven or eight.


So we want you to be confident you'll get a team, even if you don't manage it on the day (if you see what I mean).


Also, if you were looking for other teams to play at a similar level we played a team last year called the Battersea Badgers who I'm sure would be up for playing you and there are others we can put you in contact with.


So how's about it? Do we have a fixture?

    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
