Well I grew up there so I think that counts! Besides it was also my nick-name when I served in the Forces.

He's a bit fit, that Brum lad.... I can offer a luxurious, comfy hug that he never could. It does look like he could offer many other things than that, though.


Nay, sir, keep your cricket bat held high (or whatever you do in cricket).


I fancy a pint later on, anyone?

No, no. Winter is mating season (or at least that's when the courting starts - Spring is when you see the...er...offspring). I reckon the singletons (me) start accepting that yet another summer has passed and the high temps and high spirits which bring the promise of love are no more, and so a more proactive, pragmatic approach is required. It's an unwillingness to accept yet another year of defeat, another New Years Eve with nobody to kiss, another cold dark winter with nobody who wants to warm their hand (and heart) in yours. As the happy couples wrap up warm, and become enclosed in their hibernatory burrows and warrens, it's time for those who have not managed to gather their nuts over autumn (if you will) to venture ever further, try ever harder, to provide for themselves through the coming hardships.


Yes, fellow solitary explorers, it is time for us to strike out; to find new lands. To perhaps find warm, sweet pastures on which to nourish our faintly beating hearts.


So, who's for the pub?

    • I'd forgotten about that place.  It wasn't a market as such, it was just run by one  couple. They did have some quite interesting things. I still have a mirror I got from there, which had been  put inside an old painted  shuttered window frame from somewhere in India. Mumbai I think. There also used to be occasional indoor  markets in the church hall where the cinema now is, next to where the Irish shop used to be. But if memory serves they were usually either jumble sales (do they still exist?) or craft sales before Christmas. There have also been occasional indoor markets at the church hall in Dulwich Village and the church hall at the church in Barry Road up by the Plough. There never seemed to be many people buying things at them. But it does all depend on what is being sold, whether it appeals to the local demographic,  where the market is located and how it is publicised. And, obviously,  whether it is profitable for the traders.
    • How the hell did Mad maxxi do that given the state of the rest of us?
    • "I also remember when we first moved here a small indoor market on the corner of North X road and Felbrigg rd that had bric a brac and bits of furniture..That one had some good stuff."   I remember that little bric-a-brac, at the back of the solicitors' place. Still got a block type panel from there. The old solicitors on the corner would could be a good venue for a few indoor stalls
