Right east Dulwich, who's got a tattoo and what and where have you got it. I've got an Imperial Chinese dragon on my upper right arm. I had it done about an hour before before the twin towers where hit. My dad went all American and had the date tattoo'd on his bullet wound from the Falklands, bless him.

I have a couple, celtic band on right arm, some pattern thing on my left arm, and a wolf on my upper left arm/shoulder. All done between 18-20 when up in Liverpool, don't regret them, but would probably chose different ones these days.


Have always planned to get the band finished in a certain way, so if anyone knows any good free hand tattooists, let me know.

Well it's Ninth and Hennepin

All the doughnuts have names that sound like prostitutes

And the moon's teeth marks are on the sky

Like a tarp thrown all over this

And the broken umbrellas like dead birds

And the steam comes out of the grill

Like the whole goddamn town's ready to blow...

And the bricks are all scarred with jailhouse tattoos

And everyone is behaving like dogs

And the horses are coming down Violin Road

And Dutch is dead on his feet

And all the rooms they smell like diesel

And you take on the dreams of the ones who have slept here

And I'm lost in the window, and I hide in the stairway

And I hang in the curtain, and I sleep in your hat...

And no one brings anything small into a bar around here

They all started out with bad directions

And the girl behind the counter has a tattooed tear

One for every year he's away, she said

Such a crumbling beauty, ah

There's nothing wrong with her that a hundred dollars won't fix

She has that razor sadness that only gets worse

With the clang and the thunder of the Southern Pacific going by

And the clock ticks out like a dripping faucet

til you're full of rag water and bitters and blue ruin

And you spill out over the side to anyone who will listen...

And I've seen it all, I've seen it all

Through the yellow windows of the evening train


Tom Waits


This just has a Frday 13th sort of feel to it for some reason, and in fact the first person i ever saw with a facial tattoo was a Soho prostitute with three tears going down her right cheek.

I have a beautiful tarantula on my right shoulder and next week am getting the "Happy Human" logo of the British Humanist Association tattoo'd on my left shoulder, with their permission (as it is copyright) as we have just photo'd the CEO of BHA getting hers and it looks fabulous. (Not the words, just the happy human image!)

Which on this evidence Quids had you been the tattoist you might have spelled HEAT, I've heard it has happened, though possibly apocryphal.

But what about having LOVE tattoed on the other hand?

And there'll be a Kolly Kibber style ten bob note and an avuncular ruffling of the hair for the first young scamp to tell me which film those tattoos come from.

    • Driving down Lordship lane around 2.45pm today saw a v sick looking fox walking in and out of the crowd. 
    • I know I'm a bit premature but don't want to forget through too much Chrisntas cheer! Southwark Council Christmas trees recycling arrangements 2025 - bit worrying for the future that they're emphasising the free bit. "We’ll collect and recycle your real Christmas tree for free!  Trees should not be taller than 5ft. You should chop any taller trees into smaller pieces. Remove all decorations and the pot or stand and recycle it by: putting your tree with your garden waste containers on collection day requesting a free collection if you do not have a garden waste collection  taking it to our Reuse and Recycling Centre [43 Devon Street, SE15 1AL open 08:30-16:30 Mon-Sun] If you live in a flat you must leave the tree: outside on the kerb visible for the collection crew not in a bin store" I'll add the link to the collection booking service when it opens on 22 December. 
    • Most homes in East Dulwich / Good Green ward have collections on Tuesdays or Wednesdays. So no changes for them this year.  But for those few local homes with collections normally on Thursdays or Friday, with Christmas, Boxing day happening on Thursday and Friday any blue, brown or green bin collections will be delayed by two days. So Thursday 25 December collections will be on Saturday 27 December and Friday 26 December collections on Sunday 28 December. For New Years day those Thursday collections will be on the Friday 2 January and those with normal collections of Fridays that will be on Saturday 3 January. To double check when your Southwark Council rubbish, recycling, food waste, garden waste collections will be taking place please please check here - https://services.southwark.gov.uk/bins/lookup
    • Luckily I don't really any regular reason to park at Dawson Heights.  It must be very difficult for the residents I do feel for them.  Thank you for them.  I just presumed that Southwark owned the estate and would be responsible for parking enforcement there.
