Ha ha - beat me to it DM. ;-)

Gosh I've just hit the jackpot so my cup isn't half full it's overflowing.


Apparently, I've just won Eur 1,000,000 on a European lottery game. How brilliant is that! I didn't even need to buy a ticket. Anyway, to claim my prise I've just got to phone the lottery coordinator, who is based in Spain. It looks to be a premium rate number but, hey ho, I've got 1 million to play with so who cares about the phone bill.


It's so nice being rich. I'm off to buy some shoes. It's been a real blast getting to know you all. Byeee......

I'm very lucky in that I have always been a glass half full person. I am just one of lifes optimists and have always been able to take pleasure in small everyday things.

But recently, for various reasons, I've really struggled to feel positive for the first time in my life.

Luckily though, I have the constant support and kindness of MrJ and my friends (some of whom can be found hanging around here) to keep my cup more full then empty even in difficult times.


Just thought I'd mention it.

Half full at the moment. Just packed the missus off to her language classes after which she's staying with her brother which leaves me to pop over to my brothers to cane through a stupid amount of lager and get started on the 4 ounces of weed we smuggled back from Holland past the divs of her Majesties customs last week. Ha ha! I might even kidnap a dog later.

Oh Jesus BBW, just when I might throw a parody of you on another thread, you get in before me. You blighter you.

Great use of the word 'divs'. It's uncanny that you knew I would've used it.

Seriously I would've.

Skol.

Definitely half full.... nah, better than that... it's almost full to the brim with darn fine wine.


I am blessed with very good people in my life and a sense that ultimately, whilst life is not without its troubles and niggles, I am a lot happier than I have been in the past.


And the future - though uncertain - I believe will ultimately be a happy one.


As Sweet Charity in one of my favourite musicals would put it: "And she lived hopefully ever after"

    • OMFG is it possible for the council to do anything without a bunch of armchair experts moaning about it? The library refurb is great news, as it's lovely but completely shagged out - the toilets don't even work reliably. Other libraries in the area will be open longer house during the closure. July is a rubbish time to begin a refurb because it's just before the entire construction sector goes on summer holiday, and it would mean delaying the work another 8 months.
    • Licensing application for 2026 has gone in and they want to extend the event from 4 to 7 days accross two weekends.  There are some proposed significant changes to be aware of:   Event proposal moves to two separate weekends Number of days of the festival moves from 4 to 7 meaning also a change in the original licence is required Expected footfall in the park over the two weekends around 60,000.    Dear Peckham Rye Park Stakeholder,   Re: STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION – event application: ‘GALA and On The Rye Festival 2026’ – ref: SWKEVE000935   We are writing to you because you have previously identified yourself as someone who wishes to be informed about event applications for Peckham Rye Park, or we think that you might have an interest in knowing about this particular event application.   Please be aware that the council are in receipt of an event application for: GALA and On The Rye Festival 2026’   In line with the council’s Outdoor Events Policy and events application process we are carrying out consultation regarding this application.   The following reference documents are attached to this email:   Consultation information APPENDIX A – site plan weekend 1 APPENDIX B – site plan weekend 2 APPENDIX C – Production Schedule APPENDIX D – 2025 Noise Management Plan   The consultation is open from Tuesday 4 November and will close at midnight on Tuesday 2 December 2025   Community engagement sessions will take place on Wednesday 19 November.   If you would like to comment on application: SWKEVE000935 and take part in the online consultation, please visit:   www.southwark.gov.uk/GALA2026   If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.     Kind Regards, Southwark Events Team Environment and Leisure PO Box 64529 London SE1P 5LX 020 7525 3639 @SouthwarkEvents APPENDIX A - SITE PLAN weekend 1.pdf APPENDIX B - SITE PLAN weekend 2.pdf APPENDIX C - PRODUCTION SCHEDULE.pdf And just to add that councillor Renata Hamvas chairs the licensing committee.

    • Second time Aria has completed a plumbing job for me and both times he’s been polite. Communicative, kept to time and completed the job. He’s very helpful and tidy as well. First job was ball valve in water tank, not easy at all. He and his team were fantastic. This time kitchen tap cylinders replaced and tap tightened.  Much appreciated, Aria thank you.
    • Thought others may be interested to help a local community centre help others.    My bank account offers roundup and it’s been growing all year. As well as treating myself or putting it towards a train ticket to see my family I’ve made a donation to the Albrighton. They can use donations at any time but I hope my donation will go towards the Christmas hampers.    Can you support them so they can provide Christmas hampers?   https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/albrightoncommunityfridge?utm_id=1&utm_term=M22JKQb6W   A donation of £50 will pay for a hamper to feed a family over this Christmas period. A donation of £30 will pay for a hamper to feed someone living on their own over the Christmas period.
