I was stooging aimlessly about the manor recently when up ahead of me I noticed a mother and child engaged in a spat. The child was staring mutinously at the pavement while the mother was fairly giving him chapter and verse on some transgression or other.


Unbidden the opening bars of Tom Petty's I Won't Back Down came into my head, I chuckled at the appropriateness of the internal soundtrack.

Imagine my astonishment as I drew alongside them and the boy slowly raised his head fixed his parent with a baleful gaze and said 'Mummy you can stand me up at the gates of Hell, but I won't go back down to school, forgotten reading book or not'.


Well I carried on sauntering but but with a renewed bout of chuckling ( the pair heard me and paused in their showdown, I like to think I brought about a truce but I didn't hang about to see) while marvelling at the coincidence of it all.


Later on I popped into a local and after several pints of premium lager and a brace or so of vera and phils I took to musing on the incident.


I judged I had been too hasty in my conclusion of crude coincidence and that surely this was more.


So much more.


I realised this was a power, a gift if you like, possibly a very low level super-power that I should use for good. My good.


This is where I am seeking the help of the good burghers of the EDF.


What I'd like you to do is to give me details of any incident that has occured in your presence, I will lay my hands on your post and tell you the song that was going through your head at the time.


It's an oppotunity to get in on the ground floor of what could be an exciting business opportunity in the world of hoodoo and superstition.

Just to be clear there is no payment for any contributions, think of it as being for the greater good.


Of me.


Anyway try and do your best as I'll probably be 'Denning' this at some point.

I was thinkin a 100K for 15% of the company.


The money would in part go towards some hand-tooled pillar-box red brogues, a couple of bespoke ostrich skin frock coats and a part-time henchman.


Oh and setting up training sessions for people who want to start up by themselves in the pyschic tune-divining business.


I'll mug up a bit on Scientology and roughly base the programme on that, I mean that old mutha Hubbard made an absolute mint on his diuretics so there's obviously a market for just this sort of lark.


I reckon that woman in the Den who resembles the late Lux Interior would be willing to pony up the scratch.

Don't ask me why, just a feeling.


So get on board with me on this one and I'll make sure Duncan B and Pasty-faced Pete get to hear all about the EDF


Thanks.

I dunno, it was a long time ago but i remember William was sounding like he was gonna top himself, Wendy was trying to flog moody M&S tights, Freddy had acne, as usual and all the geezer on the box could say was that were just hooligans, me, I just didn't care, I loved Mark Bolan et al.

Alan M sadly tou haven't been paying proper attention to the sounds in your noggin, the actually song I'm getting is Alone Again Or by Love.


It seems the 'fluence was weak and you mistook it for Alone Again Naturally by Gilbert O'Sullivan which you then misnamed as Nothing Rhymed.


It's nothing to worry about, we Mind-Song-Divinologists see this sort of thing all the time.


Jeremy well done, you get the early adopter discount - tell your friends.

Oh happy day! Welcome back HB, tho' this new enterprise of yours doesn't seem too far removed from your 'Evil Genius' tack of a while back. Anyways, I recall seeing this scrawny posh geezer somewhere between Denmark Hill and Peckham Rye, and that got me to thinking...

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      But I don't think that was what you meant, was it? But he can hardly be held responsible for what somebody else did! Just discovered I forgot to post the above  last night, and now it's overtaken by long posts.  I don't have sufficient knowledge  to counter some of what has been said above, some of which appears to be opinion rather than facts, so it would be pointless for me to say anything else.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By Angelina · Posted

      If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.
