Totally agree with everything you have said, Cupid.

The opening bars of Sir Dennis Brown's 'How could I Leave?' is the only song capable of stopping me in my tracks sending a tingle of emotion and memory down my spine.

I suspect most of us singing the virtues of this particular genre and era of a similar age and like to be reminded of our carefree youth!


Hence, I'm going to the BT dance on Wednesday to hear all these great tunes around like minded people.

Anyone else going?

Someone called me "curly locks" earlier today and I was reminded of this classic...been listening to Byles's beautiful voice since...feels and sounds utterly sublime to me and I can't believe that I haven't listened to it for so long...

      Looking for a bakery which sells baked goods with fresh cream - are there any?

      By Katherty · Posted

      Thanks all!  KateS - boulangerie Jade is a nice cafe, but they don't do fresh cream cakes. Their eclairs are filled with patisserie cream (a kind of custard), not fresh cream. Azalea- thanks and I've been to Bunhead Bakery (a Palestinian bakery) in Herne Hill a few times. There's a nice chocolate bun they do, which is amazing when then sauce is warmed up. But I haven't seen any fresh cream things there, only white icing. Maybe it's only on a certain day.  And the last time I checked, Ayres bakers in Nunhead don't do fresh cream things. These are the kind of fresh baked goods I'm thinking of....

      Bag of powdery substance found in children’s playground

      By Darren S · Posted

      Warning to parents using the playground in Dulwich Park. My daughter and her friends found a bag of ‘crunchy powder’ in the children’s playground this morning around 11ish. They thought it was ‘popping candy’ and all tried some before seen with it. Request to parents using the playground - if you see plastics bags with suspect looking contents or powder on the floor in the playground or park: pick it up and throw it in the bin. Don’t walk past and think someone else will deal with it. The next person to walk by might be a child who could pick it up not understanding what it could be. Hopefully our daughter and her friends will be ok and it’s a lucky escape. But please be aware in case anyone else’s child may have found it before them.

      Old 9mm or 12mm ply

      By gingerfisher · Posted

      I’m looking for some ply sheets, ideally 9mm or 12mm. It doesn’t have to look good. As long as it’s not rotten it’ll be fine. I’d like bigger sheets, but I’m open to whatever anyone’s got. If you can help, drop me a DM.  Cheers

      Peckham Rye Park Attack - August 22

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      the only known name is from that poster in the window where it says to email [email protected]. I thought that website might shed some light on who is creating the posters I hope whoever was attacked is doing ok, but agree there is something very off/vigilante-ish about all of this
