I decided to take a break from casework to walk up Lordship Lane in the sunshine and buy bread and ice cream only to see these posters announcing 'theyarecoming' fly posted everywhere... this one I've attached is in front of William Rose's.


Does anybody know what this is about? Is this a May Day joke? Are aliens finally going to land in East Dulwich??


I hope whoever comes brings scissors with them, as one of my pet peeves is posters strangling our beloved trees with string!

>Down in the south of the borough, something is stirring... bits and pieces, odds and ends, flotsam and jetsam, the offshoots and outcasts are coming together, a ragtag rabble, a motley collection of misfits, a gathering!

From the margins and fringes they come, with one purpose, one destination, they represent a myriad of tribes, a cornucopia of clans, a stream of weathered rainbow threads woven together.

A flowing, ebbing, pulsating river of life, of stories, myths and legends; follow their paths as they stalk through Southwark, tracing the routes of their ancestors.

What are they? They are a mirror Southwark, a mirror...

Who are they? They are you Southwark, they are you...

They are coming!<


Sounds like that "Non bonfire night" thing of wishy washyness


ANYONE who says "cornucopia of clans" needs a frikkin front wedgie


I ask you !

They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa


from: Dr. Demento's Delights

Warner Bros. 1975 BS 2855 0698


Remember when you ran away and I got on my knees and begged you not to

leave because I'd go berserk?? Well...

You left me anyhow and then the days got worse and worse and now you see

I've gone completely out of my mind.. And..

They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!

They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa

To the funny farm. Where life is beautiful all the time and I'll be

happy to see those nice young men in their clean white coats and they're

coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!!!!


You thought it was a joke and so you laughed, you laughed when I had said

that loosing you would make me flip my lid.. RIGHT???

I know you laughed, I heard you laugh, you laughed you laughed and

laughed and then you left, but now you know I'm utterly mad... And..



They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa,

They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa.

To the happy home. With trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket

weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes and they're

coming to take me away, ha-haaa!!!


I cooked your food, I cleaned your house, and this is how you pay me back

for all my kind unselfish loving deeds.. Huh??

Well you just wait, they'll find you yet and when they do they'll put you

in the ASPCA, you mangy mutt!!! And...


They're coming to take me away, ha-haaa.

They're coming to take me away, ho-ho, hee-hee, ha-haaa.

To the funny farm, where life is beautiful all the time and I'll be happy

to see those nice young men in their clean white coats and they're coming

to take me away, ha-haaa!!!

To the happy home, with trees and flowers and chirping birds and basket

weavers who sit and smile and twiddle their thumbs and toes and they're

coming to take me away, ha-haa!!!

To the funny farm, where life is beautiful all the time... (fade out)


Hey, buddy!

Yes officer..

You a head?

No, but I'm catching up, ha ha ha....

Not this again. It has been repeatedly proven that paying good money into the Arts, even the futile and derivative nonsense in question, is cheaper than any other relevant form of provision. Even in a democracy we have a collective responsibility to those less advantaged that ourselves, whether we like it or not.


There are, of course, limits. Having added my tuppence-worth of enlightenment, I'll leave it to someone else to enlighten the good Councillor on the doubtful merits of string as a means of arboricide.

Are they not Platanus Acerifolia ?


Many trees have been cut back hard due to the wet season previous.


They'll recover.

They're not Plane trees ,they're limes .


I expect they will recover but I'm upset that they were pollarded so severely ( so that people can no longer even tell what kind of tree they are ) and in AUGUST while they were in full leaf .


So we've had no autumn colours or leaves and no sign yet of any leaves .

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      By malumbu · Posted

      I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?

      If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Sue · Posted

      But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
