Tony



Now thats more like it. A well compiled & interesting list unlike your last dog racing one, god I read two lines yawned and nearly passed out.

Things are improving, though it must be hard with the company you keep of general vagabonds, fringe crims , underworld lurkers & gamblers to keep a perspective on the other side of life, I suppose a good shower at night washes away most of the grit and crud.



The undead on your list are not really predictions though , more like inevitabilities as is all our mortality. That in mind put me up there somewhere , ohh and include the odd overweight rapidly aging bookie while you're at it.


As for punts, pah If I don't know what i'm missing, I wont miss it.

You can handle the couplings until there a full head of steam.


Bert if you want to come thats fine, you can handle the grease gun.


Don't wear your best clothes though ,it gets a bit messy.

I'm not starting a seperate thread but its quite spooky what happened only yesterday.


Watched the fantastic opening sequence ( You Tube) to the original "The Italian Job" with its fabulous drive thru' The St. Bernard Pass in The Italian Alps by Rossano Brassi, while Matt Monro sang the gorgeous "On Days Like These" in the background. Thinking about the talent connected with that 1966 classic British film and enquired who wrote the script. It was Troy Kennedy Martin. Checked to see if he was still alive and he was.


10 hours later I read on the Internet that he had just died at the age of 79.:(

Tony are you sure you are not over punting on these "uncanny departures" I know you are heavily involved in the murky and grimy world of G*mbling ( see it's a swear word now ). I imagine after years of emersion your moral compass may have strayed off the pole as it were. After all Tony how much money does a man need, the south London phrase " I'll make you right" in your case makes me shiver.



Quiting while your ahead & quiting are not the same thing Tony.

Quit? Quit? While I'm on a roll? Etes-vous foi. Messieur Le Chien?


Only the day b4 yesterday I bet on 37 Greyhound Races, 15 Horse Races and The Live Sky Football ( MK Dons) and nearly every individual game in The USA Open Final ( Fed. Express/Del Potro= around 60 games) and after those 113 seperate betting heats, on the day, over 14 hours, I won ?3....and you expect me to stop now??

8 threads on recently dead slightly-famous-to-actually-famous dead people on the first page of the Lounge?


Sadly, since the Reaper comes for us all, it seems that there is no end in sight, as the fodder for those that like to start these thread on a daily basis will keep on coming. Thank goodness for the 'mark as read' option.

It is with a heavy heart that I have to inform you that nine of the Top 10 threads last night ( at one point) consisted of Tributes/Condolences/Acknowledgements etc) and that did not include "Troubleshooter" Ray Barrett, either.


Someone slipped in a thread about something-or-other in between the collective nocturnal mourning, as it were.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
