Back again - this is totally addictive! Anyhow, I just could not resist this one - even if the lyrics are a bit suspect, the footage is amazing - and I think I was there! How weird is that - seeing a gig you were at in your youth, almost 30 years later on your computer! More later... Black Uhuru, Shine Eye Gal

As did my hubby! As did Peter Hunningale (reggae singer), Ken Livingstone (I think) and Levi Roots (of reggae sauce). Not bad for a now-flattened crap school!


PS: Jah, hubby was in "Temple House"...where were you?

      GALA 2026

      By first mate · Posted

      There are lots of trees, shrubs, a pond and a large area of wild grass all of it which are habitat for a range of flora and fauna. Do you mean the common- that is mostly grass, some of it laid over an old car park? However, the festival won't use that bit, they prefer to be "nestled" within the park (more aesthetically pleasing for festival goers, who like to be 'at one with nature' while they enjoy the booming bass, and great marketing for the festival owners who can also use the plentiful trees as a sound barrier- it saves them forking out to mitigate the noise.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By Sue · Posted

      That's very rude. Care to expand, rather than having a go at malumbu?  You think this solicitor with five one star reviews (and most people with complaints won't bother writing reviews) is perfectly proficient, and all the delays, non use of email communications  etc are his clients' fault?

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By Sue · Posted

      Thank you for your explanation, which makes complete sense. Sadly I'm guessing that most of those who post on here, including me, are not familiar with the  holiday arrangements of the construction industry. Very sorry to have ventured an uninformed opinion 😀

      GALA 2026

      By Gooseygreeny · Posted

      I live right next to the Rye and literally never notice any negatives of Gala. Another week sounds lovely for the people that enjoy it.  Also I have a PhD in ecology and can confirm that the rye is providing virtually no environmental benefits. It's almost entirely grass.
