Dear DM ,Love to pop in and take tea with you but much as I admire the Northern music scene I can not in all honesty share your devotion to Take That. I hear that the gardening section of the Times is good though. What do you think ?


I am however going to nip to Alleyns Garden centre tomorrow first thing to pick up a plant I ordered. I'll keep an eye out for you and your Gary Barlow special edition.


PS. How many times has your mum been to church this week? My mum been at least 3 already. She is coming here on (Maundy) Thursday and so I have to overcome my natural loathing of Fr O 'C and check out Good Friday services at St Thomas More.......should I wear a hat or a hair shirt?

Darling Clare,


I shall be there too! Hair shirt in place, ever at the beck and call of the legendry Fr O'Connor. My mother is going to 7.30 am mass every morning during lent.


I Live a hop and a skip from the garden centre you discuss, but sadly shall be at work - grateful to escape the mayhem that is parenting!

OHMYGOD!!!


That was the noise I heard ringing in my ears when I told my mother I intended to marry 'a Protestant'! It has taken over seven years for the penny to drop - but I was wondering why that bloomin chuck was carrying on so much in the garden on what should have been anotherwise peaceful morning!


Enters quiet room with enormous home made carrot cake. Takes enormous knife (Japanese folded steel Global) from bag, looks around for Mr Mikewbate, begins chopping.


Wraps enormous piece of cake in some tin foil for Mr Keef to take to his lovely fiancee, and also puts a big piece on a plate for him by his favourite chair. Cuts slices for Mr CrystalClear, Mr Mockney Piers, Mr Huguenot, Mr Chartwell, Clare and Scruffy Mummy. Looks around to see if Kathryn is in the lounge. Wonders if she has given up cake for Lent...


Puts slice of cake in a bowl by handbag, sits and waits for Mr Batdog - as usual. Remembers Mr Batdogs affections are no longer forthcoming, slumps in aubergine velvet armchair and lies face down in large slice of carrot cake...


Ana arrives carrying tray of Starbucks Latte.

*Enters room and waves to Dulwichmum*


*Walks over to Lazyboy, and eyes widen at sight of Crank's recipe carrot cake!!!! Considers eating both pieces, but fears wrath of Mrs Keef, so decides it best to share :( *


*Sits down and enjoys cake and a hot chocolate whilst telling DM (very quietly) that Crystal won't be around for a while, as the long weekend for easter obviously wasn't enough for him, so he worked yesterday, and is now of till Friday next week giving him a 10 day weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*


*Agrees with DM's incredulous look... Decides it best not to mention 7 day weekend booked off from own job.....* ;-)

*Walks in with spring in step, thinking "this weekend is going to be cool*


*Looks around quiet room, and wonders if it has lost it's appeal*


*Walks over to gym corner and starts thorough workout so as to prepare body for abuse it's going to suffer over the next few days*


*After 2 minutes, decides it's best to prepare body in a different way...... Walks to bar and poors pint of Grolsch* :)-D

Staggers into lounge wearing large pair of new Prada sunglasses.


Head pounding - sits on stool of repentance, as broke Lenten fast yesterday. Opens handbag to look for small container of Andrews Liver Salts, instead finds 3 champagne bottles, a small doggies jacket and an old cabbage.


Groans out loud as stool of repentance is very hard indeed. Longs for a latte

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
