I don't know Manda, so if I was asked, for no good reason at all to say, posit an appropriate song on the matter all that occurs is Toyah Wilcox's 'It's A Mystery'.


For such it is.

Been asked by someone who knows me to explain my first post which they thought was starnge. Michael Caine starred in a film in the mid 80's called Mona Lisa ( yes the explanation is that simple) with Bob Hoskins, it was a gangster type film. Of possible interest might be the fact that some scenes were filmed at the community centre next to Dulwich medical centre, fronting Daryl Road and backing onto CPR. Of great co-incidence, at that time Brenda Blethyn lived nearby in CPR, and went on to star in a film with Michael Caine called "Little Voices" (I think that was it's title), also starring Jane Horrocks. To para-phrase, I wonder how many people know that!!!!
I knew that cos I went there and so did my father who was mates with him, hence the interest in this post. I remember my old art teacher, who was only about 200 yrs old at the time and whose name escapes me for the moment, constantly telling me stories about what they got up to, all denied by my father !!!! I wonder if EDOldie went there too?

    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
