It was really good although I was slightly miffed they didn't play "the night with the prostitute in marseilles" etc from the new album but I was completely in love with Zac Condon by the end of it; more so than I was before!!


I even got to meet him before the night was out, made a complete show of myself but that was definitely one of my top 5 best gig moments.


Gulag and Lon Gisland are my favourites too. The new one has a couple of good songs on it but it's split into 2 and neither are very long. Best songs being "My Wife" on March of the Zapotec and "the night with the prostitute from Marseille", I think.


They seemed on good form too, enjoying the crowd's enthusiasm. They pretty much could do no wrong by the crowd and there seemed to be a good feeling all round


All in all, great gig, would defintiely see them again

      Plumber recommendation - Niko the Plumber

      By ssn · Posted

      I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.

      The Mansion Tax

      Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.

      The Mansion Tax

      This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.
