Not cheering. I'm not that vain. Frankly I'm not that worth it.

But I do allow the voices in my head degrees of applause. Hand clappping-wise that is.

On a scale of one to ten, one would be, forearms resting on thighs, with upper fingers tapping together, the sort of clapping that is actually rude. Really, better you sucked your thumbs.

Ten is arms above your head, smashing your hands together, over and over until you have no feeling left in them. A casual glance at your nails and you see they're starting to turn somewhat blue.

But you just don't care and keep clapping anyway.


For me a two and a half would be when unexpectedly, Channel Five show a good episode of 'Columbo' on a Monday afternoon off.

Especially that one with Johnny Cash, or the one where that obvious looking 'baddy smoothy bloke' drowned that woman who I think appeared on 'Moonlighting', though I could be wrong.

So you see I have high standards.

A ten applause can only be applied, if, when Mott The Hoople appear on stage on 1/10/2009 at The Hammersmith Apollo they open with the opening lines of 'American Pie' and then BLAST into 'The Golden Age Of Rock 'n' Roll'.

You can insert another ten, here of course. You'd be wrong of course.

And the volume of the smattering of 'one' would be as two shy mice exchanging wedding vows. In sign language.

    • Hi! I’m Isobel, an 18-year-old who just finished A-Levels and is taking a gap year before heading to Leeds University doing a social work degree in 2026. I’m really excited to offer childcare services from now until January! I've got a lot of experience working with kids, from helping out with Year 1-5 students every Wednesday at the local primary school to volunteering at a babies hospice for a month as part of my DofE. Since I played lacrosse and netball for my school, I love being active, and with Art being one of my A-Levels, I'm all about fun, creative activities! If you're looking for a babysitter or someone to help with after-school care, I’d love to help out! I’m passionate about making sure kids have a good time and learn new things, and I’m excited to bring my artistic skills and love for staying active to your child's day. I can also provide my CV if you’re interested My WhatsApp is 07745454671
    • Our Barry Road house buidings insurance has just DOUBLED due to new “Surface Water Flood Risk Assessment Maps” from the GLA or Southwark Council or HM Govt DEFRA Dept Environment. Insurers are refusing cover or creaming off huge premium rises hidden behind “global warming” & “climate change” & “mitigation measures”. With all new techy charts, maps, reports, diagrams, they just demand 40% extra payment with zero ecidence and wrong data, quoting scientific sounding reports & maps & charts which they quote wrongly.    Navigating the between the Southwark Council, the GLA, DERA, the Financial Ombudsman and insurance is a nightmare. It’s so convoluted, remote, uncontactable and factually wrong that it amounts to 21st C PROTECTION RACKET. Suggestions please or support, to know more, full story + contacts+ organise.
