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.

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
