That was probably Ian Neal. My son played with his son Lewis from U10 I think. I have some great memories of matches and wins. Wasn't so keen on all the nights spent taking him to training though. You didn't say when your son started playing as if it was as early as U10's they probably played on the same team.


As this is the irrational rage thread I'd like to add the behaviour at matches of the parents of some kids who played football.

Lewis and my son are still very good friends, my boy played for only a couple of seasons until he reached 18 and all the lads were rejected by the first team manager. Very political as I recall and as do all the other parents of the group.

Here's another gem from a person causing me much rage today


"I do fully understand your position and I can see and appreciate the logic of it, but it?s just that I do not agree with you ."


If this person had the foresight to provide some kind of counter argument I wouldn't be raging so much, but to just say "I do not agree with you". Dear oh dear.

"No problem" or even worse "No probs" and "No problemo".


A few years ago some guy was giving me a quote for insurance over the phone. After every exchange he said "No problem". I then said "Would you please stop saying 'No problem', it's getting on my nerves", to which he replied "OK, no problem".

But the real reason for tonight's visit is to say how irritating it is when fashion writers and shops describe a piece of clothing, or indeed anything at all, as 'luxe', eg 'a luxe sweater'.


Makes my stomach positively heave.

      Police Incident outside Rose Fish/Parade East Dulwich Roas

      Digital rubber necking ?  That's a meaningless phrase. The OP merely was seeking information.

      Peckham Palais

      By Cyclemonkey · Posted

      Reviving this to say that Palais is now up and running.  We went to a night there yesterday.  It is a first floor bar with cocktails and space for a DJ.  That I think is intended to be a quieter space for an older/more chilled crowd.  There is also a basement club space that can hold 500, it has an amazing sound system. The communal areas are still a bit rough and ready, they still need to do some replastering and painting on the stairways and there is currently no functioning lift.   But generally it was well run and thoughtfully restored. It was good to see the space back in use and it feels like a good addition  to that end of Peckham. Interestingly, showing a shift in night time cultures, there were signs about not using mobile phones and everyone had to get a blocking  sticker put on their phone camera lens before they were allowed in.

      WARNING . Please feed the birds in your garden

      Great shout. They do need the extra fat when it’s winter, but don’t use fat balls from April as they are dangerous for nestlings as the babies can choke on lumps of the fat. When it gets milder switch to suet pellets as they are harder and don’t melt (the grease is bad for feathers.

      WARNING . Please feed the birds in your garden

      Rather alarmist. There is unlikely to be snow this week, but even if there is that is natural and wildlife adjust accordingly. There are fewer insects to eat due to what humans have done to the planet over the decades.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_in_insect_populations  In particular: Habitat Loss and Fragmentation: Agricultural Chemicals: Climate Change: Pollution: Invasive Species: There is even a case for not feeding birds due to the spread of disease through feeders, greenfinch population was decimated.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/jan/24/should-we-stop-feeding-birds-what-happens-if-we-do-and-does-it-spread-disease   I do feed the birds but keeping a watching eye on the evidence.   And I try to grow insect and bird friendly plants including attempts at a meadow.   There could also be an argument for not keeping cats as these may decimate bird populations.   https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/aug/14/cats-kill-birds-wildlife-keep-indoors   You will need squirrel proof feeders and even then you may have the starlings and green squwaky things eating most of the food left out for small birds.
