Bath Oliver Biscuits.

The large arrowroot biscuits you used to buy in pubs ( my dog used to eat these)

Petite Beurre biscuits ( I think that is how you spell them.)

Everlasting strips from the sweet shop

the old fashioned ironmongers where you could find anything.

Saturday Morning Kids pictures ( showing my age 6d in old money, and a few pence for sweets)

Jubblies


Beer lollies


Cider lollies


Alley Gobs


Captain Hurricane getting into a 'raging fury' and bending and rending pieces of enemy hardware with his bare hands.


'Maggot' Malone. Cockney batman/first mate to the above. "Cor, chase me backwards up Big Ben", that's what he once said. Obviously not realising that Big Ben refers to the bell and not the tower. Naive or lazy ill-informed f@cker?

I bet Captain Hurricane would have had an opihion on the matter. A robust one I'm sure.


Tom Sharpe's ability to write anything funny - since Wilt.


OK then, The Wilt Alternative.


Gary Glitter records on pub juke boxes.


The Wimpy bar in Brixton. It's the Plan B club now and that's fine of course, but it doesn't do me much good when I fancy a cheap burger and chips that would be served on a plate with cutlery of metal and was brought to me at my table by friendly waiters tricked out in bow ties 'n' weskits.

Oh, but never mind me, I'm just being silly.

Blimey H'oochie, the pen is indeed mightier than the sword, looks like Tom lost the will to live after your damning critique.

Is this in anyway linked to your psychic music divining business?

Do you take requests?

Don't supose you could put in a bad word against Jilly Cooper?...

Cripes, didn't think he'd take it so much to heart.

Seriously though I'm sorry he's no longer with us.


Just re-bought Indecent Exposure and Riotous Assembly from a charity shop over the weekend, funny, mad and crude satires of apartheid era South Africa.

    • has lost a Bengal cat there was one wandering around Townley Road this morning - I'm assuming it is not the norm for this fellow to be out and about solo but I'm not a cat expert... IMG_5815.heic IMG_5819 2.heic
    • Hi everyone, I'm Gen, a catsitter based in Sydenham - if you're away this summer and need some care for your pets, please do consider me!  I can typically cover Sydenham, Forest Hill, Penge, Anerley, Crystal Palace, East Dulwich and parts of Peckham. If it's outside those areas, it still might be worth messaging me to see if I can help. I'm registered with Cat in a Flat, with flawless reviews – I'm happy to accept clients through there, or just directly (you can just DM me on the forum here) - whichever you're more comfortable with. I've been catsitting for a few years, and also used to volunteer for Celia Hammond. Here's my profile https://catinaflat.co.uk/pet-sitter/377081 Ping me a message if you need help or have any questions!
    • And we humans bear a lot of responsibility for creating the conditions that brought foxes into urban settings. I certainly don't regard them as pests - they are noisy little criminals, but I'm very fond of them (we have huge numbers of them in my area - I rescued a lost baby fox earlier this year). However, there are pest control companies that use humane methods to deter them and redirect them to different territories (a friend of mine works for one, but sadly for OP, I don't think this is in their catchment area).
    • Please don't call them "pests". They are animals who have as much right to be here as we do. Which doesn't mean we can't use humane ways to keep them off our crops, like fruit cages and netting.
