spadetowngirl has a birthday coming up soon and is doing my head in to buy her a kettlebell or bells but they,re not the cheapest piece of equipment to buy for what will more than likely end up under the stairs after a few months. i have checked out a few sites for reports on their effectiveness,but has anyone on the site a)heard of them and b)if so used them, because until the missus approached me about them i was pretty much in the dark.

I have Captains of Crush grippers and they are good.

Kettlebells are old school weight training but will improve grip strength as well as arm/shoulder. By giving big lifts your trunk strength or related strength will increase too. They have been popularised by that Russian as that is all he had then.

If you live in an upstairs flat you will not be popular below.

      I am sure what the new plan is but who knows how the postal service will work from here onwards

      postal collections

      By Penguin68 · Posted

      My experience is that my local letter box does have week-day-ly collections - but I think very early in the morning, not at the old 'around 5.00pm' times. There are several daily collections from the box outside the Forest Hill Road sub-post office. I don't think the 'Monday' tab is now ever changed. Mail collections from boxes have got nothing to do with the service we (don't) get from the Peckham Delivery Office. Your Wednesday 12th posting would probably only have been collected on Thursday 13th, if it was posted after 9.00am. If it was being delivered in East Dulwich (where the Peckham DO does come into play) then getting it by the following Tuesday is probably par for the course.

      postal collections

      By Eats Dulwich · Posted

      Are there no daily collections from post boxes any more? On Wednesday Feb 12 I posted a Valentine's Card in the postbox which is about 20 metres from our house to make sure it arrived by Feb 14 (yes I know I could've put it thru letterbox but that's not as romantic is it). After I posted it I noticed the little metal thingy said "Monday" but I thought this must be a mistake and had not been changed. However, Valentine's Day came and went and no card arrived. In fact it arrived on the following Tuesday, Feb 18 so I'm guessing the Monday collection metal thingy was correct. Has it ever been announced officially that there are no longer daily collections from letterboxes? I remember a time, not even that long ago, when the red postman pat van would pull up at least twice a day, every weekday.

      Missing cat

      By Roddy · Posted

      My lovely tuxedo cat, Rexy, has been missing since Wednesday which is very out of character. Rodwell Road area, SE22. He is a rescue cat so really quite timid with people he doesn’t know. If you spot him, could you please contact me? Many thanks. He is chipped and neutered.  Photos attached.
