Yay, good night! Particularly enjoyed chatting sensibly with Citizen, less sensibly with Franki, even less sensibly with Annaj and BN5, not at all sensibly with Michael Pickyourownwithus, gibbering at Mockers, giggling with Asset, screeching at Sean Mac and last but not at all least talking, er, handwidth :-$ with Chav and Hibbs.

hi, it was nice not to be the only newbie there, and good to chat.


did you make it to actually watch the run?

VBC - Embarrassingly I couldn't make it back from the gym in time (!) - which rightfully got me some stick. But I arrived just in time to miss Floating Onion being sick in a flower bed. Even better - Sean Macs summer sprinting gear - black boots, black jeans and a black jumper. Like a kind of Irish, Barry Road version of Johnny Cash.

Sorry to be so late back on after drinks messiness - captured painfully as always, andrewdblack, thank you!


4th July is the weekend before my massive exams, 11th the weekend after, so which do you want to see - a big bloke on edge making 1 pint last all night and sitting in the corner looking pale, or a big bloke out of control as pint number 9 gets sunk with chaser number 5, following by self doubt, self, loathing and a full dose of hugging strangers for being blurrygud?!?

Well Bignumber5 you've convinced me...put me down for the 11th!

Seriously it would be better for me - the 4th is my first Friday at new job so might get asked out for drinks (if they don't hate me on sight!). Alternatively I might like to run back to the friendly forum folk at the end of that week - so really whichever, I will be there, fingers crossed.

    • I would love something like this..I remember the one where Gails is now..It had some bric a brac furniture and 2nd hand clothes, I don't remeber the Oyster bar. The issue with the one on Zenoria St-And I speak as a long time habitué of Portobello, Kensington Market, Alfies,Spitalfields,Covent Garden (back when it had a decent vintage market on Mondays in the 80's and Early 90's) ..Was that a lot of the stuff they sold looked a bit meh..like a bad car boot fair. I also remember when we first moved here a small indoor market on the corner of North X road and Felbrigg rd that had bric a brac and bits of furniture..That one had some good stuff. I think the secret is in having a good mix of stalls selling well curated pieces at decent prices...It would also be good to have a few tables and rails available to rent for one-off sellers (car boot style) by application. When I lived in Notting Hill I used to do Portobello under the flyover a couple of times a year and made really decent money because people tended to go there on sundays for the Casual stallholders rather the same dealers selling the same stuff.
    • Highly recommend landscape gardener Jasper Davis. Jasper designed and built me a bespoke summer house.  He also transformed my garden including natural paving/sleepers and planting. Can't recommend him enough.IMG_9568.HEIC Contact Jasper on 07966 251778
    • Is anyone  replacing their clip on buggy parasol?  Looking for a foster mum friend please
    • I don't think so, sadly. The Zenoria Street indoor market failed to take off and generally speaking traders at Christmas Fairs and Farmers Markets are reporting that it isn't worth their while now. If you go to North Cross Road, the vast majority of visitors are only buying the street food! It was the same when I went to the Horniman Sunday market and second hand market yesterday. With the lack of footfall I couldn't understand how any of the traders could be making any money.
