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!

    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
    • I love the fact that virtually everyone held their hands out when furlough payments were made yet can't equate massive debt with massive cash payments to keep the economy ticking over.
