Give it Merryl Streep, give her a chance to expand her repertoire of accents.

Streep can't do it.

She's tied-up making a CGI-laden sequel to that one where the dingo eats her kid.


Worrall-Thompson's in (of course) - reprising his role as the dwarf from Lord of the Rings. And Rhodes will cameo as long as there's no dancing involved. But who can play Jamie.. that's the question.

5 items... always need the same 5 items. Wallet, oyster card, security pass, keys, phone. I have a terrible memory, so I just remember the number 5, then figure out what I have missing.


Danny Dyer (dire?) is a good call, he's almost as annoying as Jamie himself!

Things you say to yourself upon leaving your front door


If it's raining "F%$? I need an umbrella"


If a good looking raver's walking past I thrust my hand in my pocket and see if I have a wedge of cash and then shout in a lewd and bawdy manner "Ayup darlin' 'ow much"

I've always done well with sophisticated ladies who were looking for a bit of rough trade.


If it's a sunny day I will check for my old peoples bus pass and say 'thankyou Southwark' cross the road and wait for the number 12

"Why is the next door flats' kitchen waste/out/over-spill (?) pipe still leaking?!"

(even though I told the workmen currently doing renovations in there, twice in the past week and a half that it needs sorting out urgently, otherwise the downstairs flat will suffer water damage through their ceiling/walls?!)

.

And switch the answerphone on.


And I live on 3rd floor and my Dad used to always teach me never to go up/down/out empty handed.

So - then I go back and see if the rubbish bags or recycling bags need to be taken down too.

    • Wow I had no idea they give you 5% in perfume for your accommodation. You're right, I need to travel more. 
    • Do none of you go abroad.  Tourist taxes are really common in continental Europe and do vary a lot city by city. They are collected by the hotels/rental apartments. They are usually a  tiny part of your holiday costs.  In Narbonne recently we paid €1.30 per person per night.  The next town we went to charge 80 cents per person per night. By comparison Cologne is 5% of your accomodation.
    • Hey Sue, I was wrong - I don't think it would just be for foreign tourists. So yeah I assume that, if someone lives in Lewisham and wants to say the night in southwark, they'd pay a levy.  The hotels wouldn't need to vet anyone's address or passports - the levy is automatically added on top of the bill by every hotel / BnB / hostel and passed on to Southwark. So basically, you're paying an extra two quid a night, or whatever, to stay in this borough.  It's a great way to drive footfall... to the other London boroughs.  https://www.ukpropertyaccountants.co.uk/uk-tourist-tax-exploring-the-rise-of-visitor-levies-and-foreign-property-charges/
    • Pretty much, Sue, yeah. It's the perennial, knotty problem of imposing a tax and balancing that with the cost of collecting it.  The famous one was the dog licence - I think it was 37 1/2 pence when it was abolished, but the revenue didn't' come close to covering the administration costs. As much I'd love to have a Stasi patrolling the South Bank, looking for mullet haircuts, unshaven armpits, overly expressive hand movements and red Kicker shoes, I'm afraid your modern Continental is almost indistinguishable from your modern Londoner. That's Schengen for you. So you couldn't justify it from an ROI point of view, really. This scheme seems a pretty good idea, overall. It's not perfect, but it's cheap to implement and takes some tax burden off Southwark residents.   'The Man' has got wise to this. It's got bad juju now. If you're looking to rinse medium to large amounts of small denomination notes, there are far better ways. Please drop me a direct message if you'd like to discuss this matter further.   Kind Regards  Dave
