Over-reaching teenage melancholia REDUX (2011 vintage - early sun promised much, although cruel June, July and August took on April for TS Eliot's prize and stamped out all hope of a decent harvest. T.LS and BBW are long since dead in the bottle. ???? is laid down in the cellar, the label dusting over with neglect). So:


Fruit hangs useless on blackening vines. Wasted, pillaged earth mocks the doomed seed. The high green tideline clings to a spent foreshore, not receding but evaporating.


Not summer still, nor autumn yet.


Not, in fact, paralysis but dessication, respiration, retreat. Until all that's left to reveal is the dust of your carelessly-formed memories, and the brittle snap, snap, snap of your heart.

      Major Incident?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      Palace were at home last night, kicked off at 19.45. The timing sounds about right.

      Major Incident?

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      The way they were heading, towards the East bound South Circular, and on lights and sirens, wouldn't I think suggest that. I have lived on Underhill for close to 40 years, but it has not formed part of an emergency route until very recently, nor have we had rush hour queues until the LTN introduction. Despite the fact that it is a bus route much of it is residential and doesn't support speeding traffic safely. It's not a route I would chose to put 5 speeding police vans in convoy unless there was no alternative in accessing the A205. Which there now mainly isn't.

      Major Incident?

      By Cyclemonkey · Posted

      There were large amounts of police and a couple of TSG vans at London Bridge station last night at a similar time.  Usually that means some sort of Millwall related football clash, but I didn't hang around to find out.

      Prince William: Palace Hardman?

      In deed.  I was hypothesising and being ironic.  See my separate thread on football and politics.  Perhaps I'll add WTF in future (wtf would I want to go to Trumps America).
