What kind of idiot wouldn't show the football during the world cup! Its a brewer's bonanza. If they aint got screens, for sure they will be getting them in. Ur best bet is a Wetherspoons, I believe they have a no entertainment policy of any sort.

The truth hurts some people, esp those who doggedly hold on to the fantasy that paying 300k for a 2 bed flat in a street / area of town in which muggings are a real danger was a good idea. Jah Lush says: "stop boring us with your drivel.".. the same could be said to pretty much every poster on this forum! Where in the UK is not a cess pit? Probably most places that aren't in London to be honest, Hull and Liverpool the exception.

In a filthy cess pit such as London, teeming with the shady undercurrents of a society gone horibly wrong, such incidents are inevitable. ?300,000 to buy a crappy 2 bed flat, and you still need to watch your back every time you leave the house. Say's it all.

The whole of London is squalor, not just Peckham! A filthy, rancid cess pit of a place.

It is such a shame that, probably a mere 50 years later, what appears to have been a beautiful countryside area became over run with swathes of urban squalor.

On page two of this thread, Blackadder says: "You do not go to court appeal a ticket. Parking offences has been decriminalised across london for nearly 20 years." So my trip down to Marylebone Magistrates court back in May 2002 was all a dream then, shit!

The only way to get off tickets is to go to court. The brainless morons in the council offices rarely have enough intelligence to understand an appeal, even if sent in with conclusive evidence. A couple of years ago I got a ticket for "parking in a loading bay with no evidence of loading" in Stoke newington. I had at the time been collecting panes of glass from a nearby glass shop. I obtained a signed and dated receipt from the glass shop as evidence, and sent it into the appeals office. Turned down so I went to Marylebone Magistrates court to get off. What a circus, a complete and utter shambles. The place was full of people like myself whose tickets should have been reversed at an earlier stage, but instead had to take a morning off work for the court to waste thousands of pounds of tax payer's money (judges and CPS lwawyers don't come cheap) to go through the formailities of aquitting them. The whole system is a farce, I'm off out on lunch now, hopefully I will encounter a traffic warden on my way out so that I can batter him with a dead fish.

Went to vote earlier at the polling station in Dulwich Village, never seen such a shambles in my life! Queues out of the door, some ludicrous system to divide people up based on which road you lived on, a bunch of gormless muppets ticking people off from a list by hand, taking about 5 mins to find each voter on the list, inefficiency at its very worst. I almost didn't bother. And now, votes being counted by hand, by pottentially corrupt counters. To think that in this day and age, the most important event in the country is being run in such an antiquated manner. Surely a computerised voting system is the way forward? I wouldn't have had to queue up for half an hour and we would know the resuts already.

Don't talk to me about that Sea Cow, its a great chippie if you like your chips and fish freshly defrosted. An over priced over-rated fast food joint for the mindless masses who have never eaten a decent fish supper. Emily's fish bar on North Cross Road is the best in the area. I always get a fresh fish cooked every time I walk in. There is another one on Half Moon lane, Ken's fish bar or something. He has a couple of spurious 'awards' on the wall claiming he is the best chip shop in the world or something. He isnt.

Looks like some one needs to sort their web design out.

I saw Jim Bowen outside the HSBC on Thursday morning, no joke! INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN ONE!

Yes, please do report this to the police! There is simply nothing more horrid than witnessing a group of teenage vagabonds smoking that "wacky backy" behind some bushes. I feel quite sorry for you my dear, have you considered taking some councelling to help you get over this quite frankly awful experience? These children need to be locked up. I say vote Cameron, he WILL mend our broken society. Things have never been the same since poor Diana was taken from us. I do advise you to report this to the police, they will definitely do all they can to catch the culprits. I believe they will surely send forensics down to scour the scene of the crime and scramble the police helicopters to track them down. To think that this kind of thing can happen in OUR community makes me feel deep regret.

AhHa, I see. Oiling the inner sides of the wheels sounds ok, oiling the to of the tracks would result in carnage.

I was actually joking about oiling on the tracks! Surely that's a very stupid thing to do, putting oil on train tracks? What are these grease pots of which you speak?

What do you think they will do? I say we need more oil on the tracks.

Sorry. I guess the organisers mean no harm with their misguided efforts. I am having nothing to do with it, but i wish those that do a good time.

7th to 16th of May eh? Fortunately it looks like it is mostly contained within indoor venues, so I might be able to stay around the area without getting too irate.... although it does seem to have taken over my nearest ale house, the Crown and Greyhound. Just had a look at the programme, never seen a bigger collection of complete tosh in my entire life! Complete waste of time.

Probably nothing more sinister than a young black person in a moderately decent car. Not allowed on Lordship Lane judging by the amount of times I've seen the racist cops in action, searching the cars of innocent youths.

I bloody hate Photo / Arts Festivals. Nothing worse than in my opinion. Please tell me when it is so that I can leave town when it is on.

Mr J Barber is going to be happy! Congrats to you and your party on your pending displacement of Jowell!

No.

If the guy owns the land, then he is allowed to put anything he likes on it, ur all lucky he hasn't parked a big pile of steaming shit there... I would just to piss you all off. This shop reaks of being a front to me, I'd be interested to see what he is putting through the books. I'd hazzard a guess that whatever it is, it was never 'sold' from those premises and probably never existed in the first place.

I did see some scousers hanging around Lordship Lane that morning........ could just be a coincidence.

I presume that posters speak of the headscarf wearing gypsy woman who hangs out outside of Somerfield? Do not, under any circumstances give anything to that her, she is an unsavoury character of the highest order.

that peckham pulse route will take ages, the main problem with getting from ED to that part of town is Elephant and castle, a complete death trap. The roads from there onwards arent much better either, esp between E+C and Wm bridge. This city really needs to do something about making things better for cylists. I've just been in Amsterdam and the way they do things there is infinitely superior.
