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

      Tate Modern eateries suggestions

      By PeckhamNicola · Posted

      Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?

      Car dilemma - do you manage without one?

      By beansprout · Posted

      Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.

      If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
