"Whats this? Down the side of the chair"


"Ah yes, the historic copy of Razzle with Dulwichmum's earliest attempt of fame for all to see"


"It still has the stains of Donkey lactation on it"


"Those were the days"


*Stands up, pulls grubby hankie from pocket, walks to north wall and polishes the plaque that hangs there, at a slight angle*


"In Memoriam. Mrs Dobbin. Much loved lactating Donkey of these parts. Slaughtered by Dulwichmum. Graze in peace*


"Snuffle, sob"

*enters somewhat haphazardly, having missed the doorhandle but unable to check momentum*


*right leg buckles somewhat as the left hand casts about in vain to catch the door before it swings back against the hinges with an audible crack, already several metres away by now*


*brought up handily by the chesterfield, attempts a change in direction to the louvred drinks cupboard, but sways off course, leading with the shoulder, sporting the studied intent of a man determined but failing to take another direction*


*grabs mercifully at the Ricard on the way past, captures it more by luck than judgement, and is finally laid to ground by the chaise longue with the oiled antimacassar caught in his spectacles*

"Splendid, I see Hugenut is recently back from distantly flung parts of the Empire. Smells that way."


"Morning old boy. I would offer you some Port, but some rotter seems to have swigged it all in my sleep. Why are your specs wearing a dress? Is this required in the Levant for purposes of public morality?"

    • I completely agree.   Pride used to be in Brixton and Brockwell Park before it outgrew it and moved to Finsbury Park.  Quite reasonable to accept limitations and respond properly  
    • Yes, but most posting on here against the festival have not said they hate all festivals, it is about location, scale and footprint, duration of the event, including build and dismantling, and the level of impact on wildlife and residents living close by.    Last year I said on here that I would, reluctantly, accept the three day event, provided it was no more than that and the footprint was not extended to include more of the park. Now it is reasonably clear there is an intention to scale up I think a new, more suitable location must be found. 
    • Have to admit, I did have to check myself - I've been to many festivals and it seems a bit contradictory to challenge one, but our local park is not the place for a festival of this size. It just needs to either scale down to the environment (smaller footprint, less damage) or find a better location. There is a VAST difference between festivals out in the countryside and the same in an urban park.      
    • Campfire on from about 7pm on Fridays - pop along and join me - I always have some Small Beer available.
