This is what you get for spending a Sunday evening on YouTube, with two glasses of wine on an empty stomach.


I was at this gig and it was about a hundred years ago ...




It was an Amnesty International gig at the London Paladium some time in the early 80s. I can actually remember what I wore. I can remember where we went for dinner afterwards (Sticky Fingers in Kensington - just opened). I was barely speaking to my boyfriend - we were having a lovers tiff. I could tell you the actual year if I could be arsed to go to the attic to look in my ticket stubbs box. I think Erasure and Lenny Henry were also on the bill. Erasure on the same bill as David Gilmour!


I'm mailing this thread to my best friend in Brighton - it really upsets him that I got to see Kate Bush and he didn't (and Nico too love). Kiss kiss (I love you).

> Can you get Botox anywhere in ED?


You can get "Frownies" patches at the much maligned Dr Boo shop. Yes, I was even prepared to go into something called "Dr Boo", situated next to a replica sweetshop, Disney Victoriana-style, in order to buy these. They work. Stick em on your forehead (or area of your choosing) and the wrinkles disappear after about 3 hours. The effect is temporary but at least you are not injecting cocktail of unknown chemicals into bloodstream (although I know a lot of people around here pay to do that, too).


My hot Frownies tip, though, do not forget if you put one on in the morning in order to get the benefit by evening, and then go out to corner shop, unless you are lucky enough to live in Nunhead, where we had ladies who went about in their curlers until quite recently, and very little causes comment.


By the way will mention as has been much criticism of Dr Boo shop for being snooty, that as an ageing pasty overweight pauper with congenital scruff hair and dressed head to foot from ebay, they have always been lovely and helpful to me, although possibly they may see this as a social service and have dispensed entirely with their usual customer-assessment criteria.


I think the difference between one go of Botox and one box Frownies is about ?200 so feel free to offer me bottle of wine from proceeds.

    • My car was stolen a few months back from my driveway but I had a tracker and found it in a private car park in Lavender Hill close to the police station. I was lucky. The thieves hide it up against that eventuality. High spec cars are targeted I'm afraid. The way it was stolen required the thieves to wire in their own computer accessing a front light (which had had a metal sheet welded across which they prised off). They had searched for a tracker but not found it. They also had to cut away a steering wheel lock. They had to come well tooled up and briefed to do what they did. Beating them off is non trivial. As I said, them not finding my tracker was just lucky. 
    • Been with The Gardens now for around 30 years and very rarely do I have a problem. I went in to collect a form and mentioned that my leg was hurting and hot- was seen immediately by the Practice nurse who then arranged an appointment on the Saturday with the Extra care service at TJ Centre where I saw a doctor, who then sent me off to Kings for further tests.. I recently booked a flu jab but appointment is in 2 weeks. 
    • Have used Milk and More for years. When the price went up we cancelled a couple of pints but we still have 8 pints a week. If we are expecting family etc we buy from Sainsburys to top up. We kept on with M & M as if weather bad we could order extra stuff from them to save us a trip to Sainsburys Local. Also gives employment to our milkman.
    • Hi there, Our Lexus NX300H, (reg RF18BWO) was stolen off our driveway last night, Monday 27th October. It was there at 9pm, and had gone by 7am. If anyone has any footage on their doorbell or Ring, that would be super helpful. We have asked some neighbours and reported to the police etc.  Most upsettingly, there was a box of old family videos in the car boot, in an old Sainsburys box (photo attached). If anyone sees these dumped at the side of the road, please contact me asap! They are priceless videos that my deceased grandparents took. Thank you for any info, Jojo
