My dad told me that if I didn?t throw my nail clippings away a witchdoctor would make muti out of them.


He also told me that if I ate the berries off the hedge my head would swell up and eventually explode.


I?m starting to suspect he just made shit up.


Anyway what?s this, make up an arbitrary random thread day? If it is I?ve got a few.


Spines! Books or vertebrates. Whose are better?

Books generally, but if someone had A Confederacy Of Dunces and a publisher's name tattooed on his spine I'd be impressed.

I often used to clip my toenails over an large open book (eg a 1987 Times Atlas of the Word) and then tip them into the bin. However, with the best will in the world I didn't always remember to tip the toenails away, leaving a nasty surprise for visiting babysitters with an interest in Geography.


In addition, even if I did the tip the toesnails away, more often than not, one would lodge in the spine of the book and like in wait. Only last week I found a big yellow one due east to the Indian subcontinent which looked like it had been there for some time.

Urgh that reminds me about a time a couple of months ago on the number 12 bus. The man on the seat infront on me clipping his nails and dropping his clippings on the seat. I can put up with some behaviour but that was so gross I told him so. He asked what my problem was and why it was offending me! The woman across the way then stood up and told him he was revolting and eventually he stopped - so be careful no 12 bus users.


ps was his fingernails not his toenails!!

I cannot believe this thread actually has legs - that people are seriously posting on it! Get a grip. BTW, my toenail clippings fetch up on a little black towel at the Glamorous Nails joint on the parade by the station. Are you happy now I?ve divulged that snippet?

Yes indeed, there is a woman who clips her toe nails regularly on the number 3 bus also. They ping right up the through the bus, and everyone is too intimidated to ask her to stop.


I never cut my own toe nails, so I do not know how they are disposed of. I hate to think of HoonaloochieB having voodoo 'shit' done on his 'ass'. I must admit that I can't get a very strange image out of my head now...OHMYGOD!

    • Surprise, surprise. It didn't take them long, did it. This will be something of a test as to how much the council really care about parks and the environment. A footfall of 60,000. Are they mad? There is no way this park is designed for or can sustain that sort of use. Just had a look at the schedule. If allowed to go ahead, this will involve a large slice of the park (not the common) sectioned off and out of use for three weeks of May and the first week of June. Here's an idea, why not trial the festival in one of the other Southwark Parks, so the 'goodness' can be shared around the borough?
    • There was another unprovoked attack on Monday this week on a young woman nearby (Anstey Road) at 6.45pm. Don't have any other details, it was posted on a Facebook group by her flatmate. Pretty worrying  https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1EGfDrCAST/
    • OMFG is it possible for the council to do anything without a bunch of armchair experts moaning about it? The library refurb is great news, as it's lovely but completely shagged out - the toilets don't even work reliably. Other libraries in the area will be open longer house during the closure. July is a rubbish time to begin a refurb because it's just before the entire construction sector goes on summer holiday, and it would mean delaying the work another 8 months.
    • Licensing application for 2026 has gone in and they want to extend the event from 4 to 7 days accross two weekends.  There are some proposed significant changes to be aware of:   Event proposal moves to two separate weekends Number of days of the festival moves from 4 to 7 meaning also a change in the original licence is required Expected footfall in the park over the two weekends around 60,000.    Dear Peckham Rye Park Stakeholder,   Re: STAKEHOLDER CONSULTATION – event application: ‘GALA and On The Rye Festival 2026’ – ref: SWKEVE000935   We are writing to you because you have previously identified yourself as someone who wishes to be informed about event applications for Peckham Rye Park, or we think that you might have an interest in knowing about this particular event application.   Please be aware that the council are in receipt of an event application for: GALA and On The Rye Festival 2026’   In line with the council’s Outdoor Events Policy and events application process we are carrying out consultation regarding this application.   The following reference documents are attached to this email:   Consultation information APPENDIX A – site plan weekend 1 APPENDIX B – site plan weekend 2 APPENDIX C – Production Schedule APPENDIX D – 2025 Noise Management Plan   The consultation is open from Tuesday 4 November and will close at midnight on Tuesday 2 December 2025   Community engagement sessions will take place on Wednesday 19 November.   If you would like to comment on application: SWKEVE000935 and take part in the online consultation, please visit:   www.southwark.gov.uk/GALA2026   If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.     Kind Regards, Southwark Events Team Environment and Leisure PO Box 64529 London SE1P 5LX 020 7525 3639 @SouthwarkEvents APPENDIX A - SITE PLAN weekend 1.pdf APPENDIX B - SITE PLAN weekend 2.pdf APPENDIX C - PRODUCTION SCHEDULE.pdf And just to add that councillor Renata Hamvas chairs the licensing committee.
