dulmum

With my fifties rapidly approaching I finally decided to grab the bull by the balls and shoot for my dream of international pop mega-stardom. It?s not as easy as it looks on the TV and the starter books designed for five year olds are a bit humiliating at first but I couldn?t have wished for a better guide than Roksana. Despite having to do large chunks of the first year on Zoom at a stressful time for all of us, she has kept my spirits up with her enthusiasm and good humour. I?ve struggled to find the time for a decent practice routine but still feel like I?m making some progress, learning to read music for the first time in my life and spending a couple of hours a week trying to force my brain into learning something entirely new. Am really enjoying the experience and that is, I?m very large part, down to Roksana - can?t recommend highly enough if you still harbour dreams of becoming the next Tom Waits.

A proper shaving brush from Geo F Trumper or one of the other old-school chemists/barbers in St James'

Yes, I can confirm Dr. Boo do Geo F Trumper kit. Got my bro some Sandalwood shaving soap from there. Exactly the same price as the shop in Jermyn Street which is pratically next door to my place of work.

There is also one on the gardens of the Dulwich Picture Gallery

The catchment for St Anthony's is a 1.3 miles radius. They are consistently over-subscribed so I would guess they do not have to take kids from outside the catchment. Whatever the reasons for congestion around this school, I can't see how the fact that it is a faith school changes anything.

I was very dubious of the bossman when he opened, now i think he's great for when the Majestic stash is drained dry. Just round the corner, good selection of workaday reds, not bad for ales, cheap bbq lager for the weekend. What more do you want? There are plenty of other places to get the posh stuff when your father-in-law is coming.

Thank you. Had a brilliant day, great to bump into so many people enjoying themselves in the sun although it is quite shameful when your 2 1/2 year old knows more people than you do.

Ah, they are not all bad. They got so p*ssedd off with my 2 year old son going into look at the toy minis that they eventually gave him one. He took it home, snapped the axel and ate a tyre.

Some of the indie/arty crowd from Inside 72 used to squat next door to me, adding a touch of colour to my grey yuppie world. Used to invite us round for wild sub-Doherty/Moss style parties, but they eventually got my goat when they complained about our planting in the garden.

Pek Chopped ham was a great family favourite. Sliced in thick cut white bread with tomatoes and lots of pepper. Another belter is tinned sardines on toast. Mash up a tin of sardines in tom sauce with chopped onion, cheddar cheese, black pepper and tabasco sauce.

the takeover is due to close at the end of Feb (27th looks likely). I guess it will take CO-OP a few months to change the store-fronts etc

Bring back Inside 72, move the French House to Lorship Lane, pedestrianise all of ED, get a job that i can walk to, introduce more sun to the left hand side of my garden so the roses grow.

The Stranger drinks Sioux City Sarsparilla in the Big Lebowski

deal has been signed but is subject to OFT clearances which could take until late September. I would have thought this would remain a CO-OP, unlikely to be a forced disposal in this area and the site seems to fit pretty well their strategy
