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.

    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
