Some ace ideas on here - would that any of us had the gumption to attempt it


Keef - I'm dead jealous you played the Grand, but good insight


On the live music tip, The Hob (opposite Forest Hill station) where ED Comedy resides is undergoing a refurb to proper "theatre" spec..but they are avid music fans and have music downstairs at the mo - I wonder if they will open up the theatre to bands as well?

I definitely think a second hand bookshop with armchairs would make LL perfect and a Dylan Moran type in there would also be a bonus.

Brixton is close by for clubs etc although taxi's are expensive even though it is, what 3 miles? This friday after drinks with ED forum me and me fella are heading to "jerk" at the whitehorse in brixton if anyone fancies it we can all share taxi's back to ED and be home in ten minutes as opposed the over an hour on a night bus from the centre.

Re the cinema idea: about five years ago I got in touch with the Picture House company and told them all about E Dulwich and why I thought it would be a good place for a branch of their 'chain'. They wrote back telling me they thought it might work but there were no venues, if I remember correctly. If anyone knows the Hyde Park cinema in Leeds, then that is precisely the kind of place that would work, but I don't know where it would go in SE22. Nero

Nero vanished 5 years later. When did the cinema open? His last post suggests he may have been got at or did he just flee?

Oh dear. Oh deary deary me. What is the world coming to. Obviously LL needs an adult education centre as gaol is the correct spelling rather than the American jail. I quite like the varient once used of gayhole.


Some Irish chap wrote a wonderful poem calld the Ballad of Reading Gayhole at the end of the 19th century. Sorry I am getting a bit childish now.


Apparently there is no strict convention of either spellings.

Reinstate the old stocks in the village (plaque beside the bookshop). Pelting with rotten fruit would be poetic justice.

    • I'm glad you are making good use of your car, but bemused how you are saving on petrol by only half filling every 3-4 weeks? Unless this prevents you using the car as often as you would like, surely you would use just the same amount of petrol, and spend the same amount of money, if you filled it up completely every 6 - 8 weeks? Have I missed something here?

    • Would Leon install a new double oven? Our eye level double oven was installed when we had our kitchen installed around 20 years ago and will need to be replaced with similar. I think we had 2 people to install it then - so does Leon work alone?
    • My car was registered in 2004. Automatic, ULEZ compatible.  Used to use it daily for work until 2016 when retired. Still used 3-5 days weekly after that as was doing voluntary work. My mobility has gradually declined and  it is painful to walk.. Family live in Kent, Essex and Sussex - so need car to visit them. My car battery is 2 years old - when had to call out RAC to assist at home as it was dead, they found it was the original battery installed in 2004!! My car is essential - shopping each week, being able to go to garden centres, or DIY stores, taking the cat to the vet and  other social activities. I now only half fill with petrol every 3- 4 weeks, so save that way. I am careful  with my finances and would be lost without the car. It is regularly maintained (Turners).
