I've seen a few "famous" people in ED.. unfortunately "That guy from that program.. you know the funny one!" or "him that did that thing with wossername" don't really come across well on a forum !


(there was the old geezer from Who's line is it anyway ..wossisname? Stephen Frost! seen him a couple of times)


However, not ED but quite a few mornings when I walk from Kings Cross St Pancras to Camden road I'll get a nod from Simon Callow ;) He usually looks very gruff so I never make to stop him but give him the knowing "I know who you are but don't want to disturb you" smile ;)

Is there a statute of limitations on the spottage?


I bumped into Paul Slack the former bass player of the UK Subs in the Herne Tavern about 20 years ago.

Though as I used to work with him in the Boots in Clapham Junction when we were schoolkids it might not count.


So just ignore me if you want.

I think they DID get photo approval. I think they think they look just lovely. I'm an adoptive parent and I must say that the Elton John baby story proves that you CAN buy children.

The most famous person I have met is Paul Yarrow alias 'The News Raider'(Known by the press all over the World from the United States,Canada,Malaysia,Japan,China,Austrailia,New Zealand,South Africa,Germany,Italy,Spain,Greece,Turky,France,Sweeden,United Kingdom,Ireland etc),for his passive media protest against the discrimination of overweight people etc by appearing on live news broadcasts across the World like BBC1,BBC3,ITV,Channel 4,Alja zera T.V,Fr1,C.B.S,ABC etc,etc. Sadly Paul has had a recent bereavement loosing his mother to cancer.She was diagnosed early,but sadly no prevention,she was told by a consultant that she had several years to go.Three months later she was back at King's College Hospital were she was offered pallative Care and she died three weeks later.Paul is suspicious about his mother's sudden death and about private decisions made by consultants behind closed doors.He plans to go to the Independent Complaints Commission,Patients Complaints etc,etc and the anti-euthenasia charity 'Care Not Killing',Paul also plans to go Pensioners Campaigns and Age Concern and Local Involvement Networks to raise issues.This is not the first time he has raised issues with King's. It is good to find people like him raising these valid issues.

    • Yes, that compromise is in not extending the event to two weekends, and keeping it to the one currently.  Yes, I am getting that too, but just go anyway. I intend to.  I will talk to FOPR, and see if there is any interest for a petition from those going to the consultation tm. We just need some volunteers to get together and do the leg work. I've done political party canvassing before, and so can organise a ward by ward schedule. I think it's fair to say that any goodwill some of us had towards working with Gala has gone with this proposed expansion. They are not the same people that started the event with We Are the Fair. At least one of those people actually lived next to the park. The people running things now have no connection to the park or local area and quite frankly are taking the p*** now. Might be worth officially demanding to know where the money the council gets from the festival is actually spent as well. 
    • It's a fantastic little place  
    • Sadly we need young people from developing countries with higher birth rates to do the work that Brits wont do, including many jobs in health and social care.  How you square this with minimum wages to get work visas I don't know.  A different subject for another thread.   Shortage of skilled workers is another topic.  We could return to the fact that young people from Europe no longer come to the UK for a limited time, to do both skilled and unskilled jobs, but that would bring us back to Brexit and the crazy decision we made as a nation. Some nice analysis by Sky News, tend not to use them as a rule but was surprised by the quality of this piece: https://news.sky.com/story/how-many-illegal-migrants-are-in-britain-the-key-numbers-driving-the-immigration-debate-13428405  
    • Would be good if they turned it into something that is social/community driven for housing - old and young mix together. Let’s face it, dearth of social anything relating to housing… if that.could  be combined with say, work area and gardening and cafe for all, everyone wins.. Dream on.. yea… certainly don’t need more large supermarkets, kitchen stores, Argos etc… Haven’t had time to look at plans…
