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

      By Rockets · Posted

      Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By ak0910 · Posted

      Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.

      When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
