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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
