Oooh, RonnieMama I'm sure you don't mean that. Come on break out the mistletoe and give him a smacker.


Edited, because I made an innocent reference to the noise a turkey is traditionally supposed to make and it looked like a stage direction in one of those films you see advertised in the Daily Express.

Honestly you have to be so careful.

I have just returned from Twisted Christmas at the Barbican - Jarvis Cocker is my king of Christmas (as delicious now as the day I fell in love with him all those years since). He is the bread sauce to my stuffing, the orange zest to my cranberry sauce, the partridge to my pear tree, the frankincense to my myrrh, the morecambe to my wise, the cool to my yule.


I'm now going to attempt to download the weird christmas carol that only my school and kings college cambridge seemed to sing - anyone else sing Three Kings From Persian Lands Afar? It's super-good. Check it: Three beautiful kings (if at 2:08 a tear doesn't come to your eye then you're dead inside and get thee to the bar humbug post)

It's that time of year again, the place is a little dusty but nothing a wipe down with a damp rag won't cure.

I'll soon have a nice fire in the grate and 'ere long the kettle will be singing on the hob all the better to prepare hot toddies.

And the big surprise is the tree, Dymphna and Georgette planted it and have tended it all year round and there it is in the corner just crying out to be trimmed.

In fact anyone coming in today will be made to join in the trimming. Go on, you know you want to.

Come one come all for the best month of the year, the only rule is NO GLOOMY GUSSES.

On reflection this looks a little less than inclusive.

Look if your name is Augustine and you're feeling a bit depressed don't take the rule as meaning you're not welcome in the Mitzvah.

Come on down it's free egg nog and tree trimming day today, all day.

If that doesn't cheer you up nothing will.

Now Quids, I can tell you don't mean that to sting, you're just on the edge of busting out laughing you rogue.

Now here's a large egg nog and a handful of tinsel, now get trimming young feller-me-lad

    • I will buy you a frothy coffee from anywhere you like on Lordship Lane if that happens. Most of these costs never get recovered from the drivers that caused them. The photo shows a car that's been left on the zigzags protecting the crossing. Pedestrians crossing East to West and drivers heading South won't see each other until the pedestrians are in the road. That is a dangerous position to leave a car in. (I don't know if it's stil there, obviously).
    • Seems a pretty dangerous position to me - apart from getting in the way of pedestrians trying to cross the road large vehicles heading south have to edge into the oncoming traffic lane to get past. I've got a normal-sized car and had to squeeze through a gap the other day.  
    • When a car is left damaged by the road-side it may be that the insurer is tasked with recovering the vehicle to assess it and (possibly) take it for repair. Only if it is in a dangerous position will the police recover it - which saves money for the tax-payer.  You may also have some recovery options with e.g. the AA (other organisations are available). Were the car to have been stolen or abandoned then it will take some time to sort this out, and again unless the vehicle is in a dangerous position the police won't be rushing to deal with that. Not sure who the 'they' are in this case.
    • I wouldn't like to speculate, Sue. Not my thing. Teddy Boy is your man on the ground for that sort of first-hand detail. It's six points for driving without insurance and six points for using a phone, so that's an automatic ban of at least six months. They're going to be practically uninsurable for a considerable period after that. So, nobody's hurt, a clearly crap driver is off the road for some time and the good burghers of SE22 get a lovely, shiny new post - probably paid for by the driver. Every cloud, and that. If only Franklins wasn't changing hands, Lordship Lane would be almost perfect.
