Well of course, one's flattered and everything, but of course one doesn't seek this sort of attention.

Not that one's not pleased by LuLu being in love with one, so sudden and so welcome.

Most of all one is just so grateful not to be sharing a prison cell with TLS and Mick Mac.

One likes living in a world where hearing one's farts is not considered a luxury.

Why bless you Giggi, you reference an Ian Hunter song. You'll always be special.


HUGS.

HB you're very naughty. OK now I'm going to be naughty too and get all name-droppey. This will impress the pants of you.


A few years ago I went to a David Bowie gig at the Hammersmith Apollo (I think our own Mr McGhabban may have been lurking somewhere around and about at the same gig). Anyway, I sat next to Ian Hunter's daughter, Tracy. Her boyfriend's friend later provided me with a bootleg of the gig, which I still listen to and which has given me much pleasure. Could my connection with Ian Hunter possibly be more tenuous?


How impressed are you HB? On a scale of 1 to 10?

Which Singer of a Group at The Oval Rooms(R.I.P) Kennington was passed a chair onstage in around 1971 when I attended in the tightest conditions I've known and shouted out "Don't need it! I'm not a f****ng cripple!"....you won't need to "phone a friend" to name this "Young Dude"...

That would of course be a ten Giggi. With a bullet.

Could you be more perfect.

Now that's impressive KK. Meeting members of Mott The Hoople's old support group. Well done.

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
