last time I went to an event in Brockwell Park it was the "free the weed" march, which I though was very much a piece of stoners self indulgence as there's far more important thigs to march about, however I did get surprisingly out of my head on some natural high 'legal ecstacy' which surprised me....anyway, I divert...will there be a 'legal high' tent at said event anyone?

Unlikely, but you're just a short 'trip' away from the streets of Brixton. There you can pick up whatever you need to get the monkey off your back.

Wait around for a while near the KFC and you'll get hitched up.

It helps if you hum 'I'm Waiting For My Man' by The Velvet Underground.

The Lambeth country show is my all time favourite event since I moved to London 14 years ago - i love theridiculous chutzpah of it - it remidns me of all the ages and stages I;ve been in my south london sojourn


I have loved the displays of wheat and potatoes with labels in case yo don't know


the alternative morris dancing - indian folk (the connection being handkercheif waving)


glorious launch of lambeth sure start - tent with big dungareed lady leading a rousing version of she'll be coming round the maountain


the big piles of sheepskins and children gone giddy rolling in them


and, always, the owls


hurrah for it

Hell yeah baby. We went today and had a blast!!!!!!! absolute wicked time.


BUT....


We went into Cafe Prov for a wee dram for the road, and heard that three gangs armed to the teeth had a full on brawl outside Cafe Prov(underneath the railway bridge). Riot police had to break it all up. And these little fcukers were all approx 16 years old.All with knives.


The waitress in Cafe Prov said that about 50 of them ran into the bar to take cover and hide from the police.!. Her partner is playing on stage with Aswad tomorrow and he has heard the whole day may be cancelled because of the threat of more violence outside the park.


Let them fcuking kill themselves in the streets....I'll be on the grass with a pint of Tip Top cider, blissed out.

I'll assume that there was a semblance of truth in some of the factual element of what you say.

Having taken a few drinks myself, but not as many as you appear to have had,

Let them fucking kill themselves? A suicide solution? You're too fucking scared to spell the word fuck correctly?

Fucking bollocks, it almost fucking well makes me want to fucking use the word 'fuck'.

Shit.




Edited because I used language that was as intemperate as that used above. Used in drink that I wa not proud of.

It was accurate however.

i'm not against d'erb at all (am an occassional fan) but wonder whether anyone else is concerned about a possible connection

between d'erb (and its less savoury cousins) and all that gang violence/crime in general? am i naive to think there's a link?


anyway, off to the brockwell park...:)-D

I heard about the brawl too. Bit of a stand off on Half Moon Lane. Missed it yesterday because I had a hangover from hell. I usually go to this and it can be a lot of fun. I'd kinda like to see Aswad again as I haven't seen them in decades but...oh bollocks I'm going down the pub for a hair of the dog that bit me.

Darling you need to chill out a bit. You seem very uptight.

Please feel free to ask the lovely waitress in Cafe Prov. exactly what happened.I'm sure she'd like to know that someone on this forum has called into doubt what happened to her. The incredibly frightening sitiuation that she went through was not accurate, because you say it isn't.


hmmmm....have another drink. Why not. Then I can sit here and make up some more shit about knifings in South London.

      The Telegraph and the other right wing media, do they hate Britain?

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      That example seems fair enough - but wouldn’t say it’s completely analogous to the Trump situation the STORY (your caps) is about the bbc edit precisely because of what happened that day and people’s ability to brush it under the carpet. I think the edit didn’t  need to be done in that way to make the exact same point. So it’s wrong thing to do, but it isn’t actually incorrect in its point - and people should be reexamining the events and not the edit  and I don’t think it’s political to say or do this. If your supporter example played out that way then fair enough - I just cannot agree that in this case the edit fundamentally changes what he said, meant or did  - especially without events transpired   It could definitely be made more explicit but given what actually happened… ? At least hopefully at this point we are being less aggy with each other and trying to make our points

      But THE STORY is about a BBC edit, and its impartiality issues, not about the storming of the capital. And it's not the first time deceitful editing has been a story - there was the whole Queen scandal too.  I love the BBC and hate seeing the corporation frankly unable to remain impartial anymore. It breaks my heart, because we do have a higher standard in this country and that's what keeps us on the right side of history - not people like Trump.  A long time ago I made a film about a Trump supporter. I came into the edit one day and the editor and edited him to say something quite bigoted, which he simply never said. Luckily I spotted it. The editor's excuse was 'well it's the kind of thing he would say'. I made him take it out, because it was dishonest and you have to leave your politics at the door if you want to be a good documentarian.

      Showers are still cold today.  When I asked at Reception, I was told that one of the boilers was now repaired and they were just waiting for the water to warm up!  The pool was pretty cold today as well,  Still a load of grit /dirt on the bottom, seems to be getting worse.
