I have scoured the morning papers, listened to the radio and checked the television news stations, but I am unable to find any coverage of Michael Jackson's memorial service.


As a service to this board, I sat through the entire circus last evening because I am a boring old fart.


A couple of awards:


Best product placement: KFC


Best exploitation of a child: Michael's daughters closing words


Best taste in a performance: The young chap who left the stage to sing to Michael's coffin

It has been a gut wretching week hasn't it? That horrible fire left me feeling empty.


But I am feeling better physically, following a relapse of sorts last week. I am planning to leave the house for social reasons this weekend, which is one's first social excursion in a very long time.

Oh dear woman you may slag me off with wreckless abandon and I shall sit back and admire your determination and sheer grit. You are a EDF star indeed.


Some of the music was indeed divine. The first singer, Mariah, was she still rehearsing the piece? She seemed to be plotting her pitch in some warm-up-using-my-hand-as-notes-on-a-staff way?


I'm not familiar with her.

I couldn't believe last night's TV schedules or the events surrounding Michael Jackson's funeral. A non-stop barrage of mawkish sentimentality for the "People's Paedophile."


It made feel queazy and unclean. I had to switch off and read a book instead. The papers are full of it today too. I'm looking forward to the backlash and the truth. The truth that will out in the end.

If you listened carefully it was a "duet" though it was a bit muffled in parts.



W**F

Agree. The Rev Al Sharpton's evangelical address was straight from the pulpit. Complete tosh. "It was Michael who did it. It was Michael who brought us all together, it was Michael who taught us to love one another. It was Michael who fed the starving millions before Live Aid blah blah bloody blah." Complete bollocks.

    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance). 
    • Truly horrific. Being passive or fighting back is what many of us think about by violent theft. 
    • What ridiculous waste of money 
    • Lots of good primary schools within reach of there. Fairlawn, Goodrich, Ivydale and Horiman. Secondary schools you will definitely get into the Harris Academies or Sydenham Girls or Forest Hill Boys, you might just be on the boundary for the East Dulwich or North Dulwich Charter but it changes every year.
