Finishes on Friday for me. Only 4 days to go. Pleased that I have not given in as yet and should see it through. Friday could be a big night! If you see me, avoid me. :))

After a month of abstinence I was wondering how to sacrifice what felt like a newly acquired virginity. I didn't want any lout of a 'Brewed-under-licence-in-the-UK' lager or pushy plonk muscling in - they will have their way with me in due course.


Drew a blank yesterday then tonight, as I was walking up the lane, I got seduced by a glass of hot winter cider in the Palmerston. Fine cider, spices, orange and a hint of vanilla.


They are doing it 'take-away' too and I expect NorthX rd Mkt to be all the better for it tomorrow... mmmm, good to be back.

I think he is doing his best but some things (the 'look' at Diouf, the signing of Carew) have me bemused. I think he WANTS to move on from the long ball game so he can be considered for the England job (after Harry) and sees WH as his best bet but old habits etc. The old accusations obviously irk him (which is why he bangs on about them and how it's not true any more in interviews).


I do think Cole has improved and Nolan is pulling the team into shape - still think we will need a top goal scorer when we go up.

But it is true.

I'd love to do it this month as feeling the burn (my age) a bit, but am squeezing in seeing x (event/person/place) for the last time most weekends over the next 6 weeks *wipes away a tear* so can't see it happening.

Luckily I'm moving somewhere that people don't really associate alcohol with social occassions and environments..... :/

Horses keep getting in the way. Last year Frankels last stand on 20th of the month and this year Silver Treasure 16th, so yes the abstinence is getting shorter, but I usually last long enough to be sober for the company doctor annual medical. I tell him I'm teetotal.

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
