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.

      Has anyone retrospectively fit aircon in a loft conversion?

      By vladi · Posted

      Have you considered PIV - positive input ventilation. We retro fitted a Soler & Palau super quiet in-line fan system. This takes cool air from the outside ans is ducted into the loft. It is really quiet and very efficient. It is controlled by a reverse thermostat ie one which shuts the system off when the temperature drops to a set level. We are very pleased with it especially as it costs a fraction of a/c and provides greater flexibility in terms of location of vents and ducting.

      Tree Killer – Seeking Advice on Dealing with Toxic Neighbours

      By FellbriggSam · Posted

      If you’re into nature or just love trees, this lovely program is worth catching up on https://www.channel5.com/show/the-secret-life-of-trees It’s one of those quietly fascinating watches that leave you thinking about the world a bit differently. I had no idea that trees are connected underground by fungal networks. They use them to share nutrients, water, and even to send signals to each other. They can recognise their kind and give more support to their “relatives” than to other trees nearby. They can also remember things like droughts or pest attacks and change how they respond in the future. No wonder so many cultures and spiritual traditions view trees as sacred. In some belief systems, cutting one down is thought to carry serious karmic consequences. When you learn about how they live, communicate, and support one another, it makes sense. The natural world is far more aware and interconnected than we tend to realise.

      By FellbriggSam · Posted

      I installed an all-in-one air conditioning unit at my holiday home since I wasn’t allowed to have an external fan unit outside. It actually works just as well, was easier to fit, and although it’s slightly noisier, it’s a good solution overall. https://www.orionairsales.co.uk/all-in-one-air-conditioning-142-c.asp?srsltid=AfmBOopZSVZj1_utAO-Hr4m5M323nRZru6Zmf1YuT4KP2touJ2OLaruU

      Does anyone remember an incident from the late 90s/early 00s in which a young man fell to death from Dawsons Heights?

      By peckhambog · Posted

      Having enjoyed a day with Sayce HolmesLewis, I understand what you’re saying.  I appreciate your courage responding on here.
