Adrian Lester is more than "the guy from Hustle". He's a great actor - I saw him as Henry V at the NAtional some years back and the play was just fantastic. The opening scene where the bishops advise Henry V he has a right to do what he wants to do, invade France, was played as a Blairite cabinet meeting - everyone in suits with PAs dashing about with bottles of spring water. Brilliant that Shakespeare could be used to indict Blair's Iraq initiative.

And Adrian Lester was in the film Primary Colours with John Travolta and Emma Thompson and when they all went on Oprah she thought he really was an American as his USA Accent was so good.

Brenda Blethyn's a local, isn't she. She goes in Beauty Place on Forest Hill Road. Apparently. (ooooooh ouch)

What a great actress.

Just caught the 'First Direct' advertisment on tv and I'm sure the guy in the white suit (who,also, played a foreign diplomat in 'The Bill' a few weeks back) used to go jogging in Peckham Park. He used to cross over to the Rye, where the big houses are. Does he still live around here?

I am told that she is now charging people to talk to her and that she is thinking of appointing an agent to handle her social diary. SHe has, however, offered to formally open the Wintergreen Fair for no fee :-)

Indeed, I am a retired brickie from Penge - and my love of the stock of Threshers is indeed well documented!


I am sorry I have been absent a lot of late Mr Popalopagus, but very soon indeed - I shall be back to my old tricks, and your underpants shall be in shreds!

    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.   
    • The SE22 Evri delivery family are lovely, and always say hello wherever we spot them in the area. We gave them a box of chocolates during Covid as they were working their socks off at Christmas
    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
