More than thirty years, bu REM's Murmur album. Radio Free Europe and Talk About the Passion were singles. Love the entire work.

Such a tedious interview with Alan McGee from Creation on Gary Crowley's BBC London show.
  5. Emily was popular twenty years ago. That's when a niece was born. There were loads in her reception class.
  6. It's more expensive in other shops, a lot more expensive.....
  7. It's horrible, but not rare. Have seen it a lot in Northcross Road, and at the old Pretty's greengrocer. You need to be extra vigilant if you have a male dog.
  8. A higher power is telling you to stop eating Weetabix.
  9. Trying to imagine how a blind or partially sighted person copes, were they to accidentally stray onto it. I've had some close shaves there, as it's easy to forget.
  10. Rescue places can also be looking for a safe foster home for mums and kittens. They do require their own room though...

There are quite a few rubberneckers out there, virtual and real.
  12. Agree with d Walker.
  13. A while back, I saw a man stab a woman in the side with a screwdriver at the HSBC cashpoint on Lordship Lane to get the money she had drawn out. He threw the screwdriver into the gutter and took off. Until then, I didn't even know that screwdrivers were used as weapons. This happened mid morning time.
  14. You can tell if mice have been at food as you will see teeth marks, or holes in packaging. They will even bite banana skins. You need to put all your non fridge food in something like a cool chest, and some heavy duty containers.
  15. Animal rescue places like Celia Hammond could use towels. There's also the refugee/asylum seeker place at the top of Barry Rd.
