She grew up in Peckham and for many years lived on Camberwell Grove.

I think most 'celebrities' are just normal people really, I'm sure they're lovely when you meet them. I've met that thingy wassisname from Stereophonics a few times when I worked up in Camden and he was lovely.


Except Paris Hilton, I don't believe for a second she actually exists, I think she's either entirely photoshopped or an animatronic puppet.

Oh, let me assure you MP, she exists alright. As I know to my cost.

There I was on the slightly wonky pin table, in that pub over by Albert Bridge, and who should come up and goose me?

You're probably well ahead of me, it was Paz.

We of course fell into conversation, and naturally I plied her with sticks of mild and large bumpers of creme de menthe.

As the evening wore on, she assured me she would effect an introduction to Lionel Ritchie, through her pal Nicole.

I made no secret of the fact that my intention was to c@nt him off for that ludicrous video he made with the blind woman and his lumpy clay face. I thought we had an agreement.

Any way, a couple of days later in that pub, you know the one, this side of the river near Chelsea Bridge.

You know, with the pleasant Australian barmaid with the acne and the graffito 'SO WAS THE TITANIC' on the condom machine.

The Duke? The Prince? The Butchers Arms? Something along those lines.

Any way, there she is with the dart's team, taking on all comers for two's-up and double tops.

I take her aside and asked for Ritchie's contact details only to be informed that she and Nicole had had a falling out the night before.

Apparently Nicole had seen some video footage of PH, which lead her to intemperate use of the word 'slag', causing no little offence to the heiress. Hilton claimed that Carlberg Special Brew played a large part in a her former friend's diatribe.

The up shot of it all was that I am down several quid in drinks for sillybollocks Hilton and Lionel Ritchie remains blithely unaware of my opinion of that shite video.

And some would have you believe there's a God. Jesus.

I don't know Simon, I just bumped into Barry Cryer in Somerfield and he reckons you're talking bollocks.

Hmm AFN, I've just had a chat with Biddy Baxter in the Barry off-licence (and yes I glanced in her basket, a barbecue chicken pizza, two chickpea salads and seven large bottles of Stella, since you ask) and she thinks you're either making an anagrammatical reference of some sort to Ben Stiller, or you're being wilfully obscure.

I take the more charitable view that you're being enigmatic.

Or do I?

I encountered Hugh F-W @ the RSA back end of last year, and he was terribly 'you're not important so I don't need to speak to you or even acknoeldge your presence' towards quite a few people around me (who were all attending a screening of a film he was promoting, and were mostly fellows of the RSA, and included quite a few film-makers and environmental activists etc., so not exactly people picked up off the pavement).


It was like, unless you've got a video camera trained on me or are some kind of world leader, you don't exist. Strange. I understand he wants to maximise exposure, but a lot of those people could do things for those projects, and were all worth a couple of moments of his time. Even if he only picked one or two of them...

    • In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River. When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
    • Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost. 
    • I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
