I wonder if that's my neighbour? It would certainly explain a few things.

Indeed


In Camberwell, anything is possible.

She was/is amazing, but it was a strangely un-connective affair.


The massive backing track and styled 'playalong grrrlz band' was deeply irritating.


We watched it all but (to some extent) with the same fascination that we might have watched a sumo wrestler doing backflips in front of a giant strobe light - whilst a swarm of midgets juggled fire.

Jah...she is one of the most amazing vocal talents out there at the moment. Few are in her league. And I always think what makes for a good tune is subjective in the end anyway but songs like 'Listen' and 'If I were a Boy' are also great songs for their genre. In my experience, most people that dismiss Beyonce do so out of a blanket dislike for that genre of music. The Beatles released some right dross in the first half of their career but we hail them as one of the greatest ever. See what I mean?


Hmm Bob...I actually thought it was a clever set. She totally understood that the crowd were not going to be solely die hard Beyonce fans. That Prince cover into Kings of Leon was cool. The all girl backing band is neither here nor there really is it, what matters is the overall show and she put on a good one I thought.

There's no problem with that MP but it's hard to have a discussion about talent in the face of that kind of prejudice. I tend to think that those who really love music can appreciate the best of any genre/ type of music.


I think it's too early to declare her as one of the greats Otta....I think it takes a whole career to define that but she certainly is one of the best vocal talents around at the moment and I think will only get better and better.

A festival performance, especially Glastonbury, is different to doing the O2. It's not about having a slavishly perfected backing track or a load of shit-hot musicians hidden away round the back - with a handful of people with crazy hair who look the part augmenting it out front. It was irritating.


But then half the people watching were only 12 so probably didn't care.

    • Went to the junction today to check the "scene of the event" to try and work out from the tyre marks on the road and the damage to the kerb, what were the contributing factors to the accident. Here are my observations and deductions. 1.Compaction type refuse collection trucks, such as these, are exceptionally "tail-heavy" due the the weight of the hydraulic compaction mechanism and the fact that this weight is positioned on the  rear overhang ie behind the rear wheels. 2. To compensate for the extra weight, the truck is fitted with a "tag axle". The tag axle is located  forward of the rearmost axle. When fully laden, all the rear tyres will be running at very close to their operating limit. 3. The tag axle has only 2 wheels as opposed to 4 wheels on the rearmost axle. So on either side at the rear, there a three wheels. So if one rear tyre on the near side has lost pressure,  the weight carried by the remaining two is increased by 50%. 4. Being tail-heavy with a high centre of gravity, the driver of such vehicles should be ultra cautious when cornering. 5. When turning to the right,  the weight imposed on near side tyres is further increased depending on the speed involved. 6. The two long curved tyre marks on the road  suggest that only two of the 3 tyres on the near side were taking the weight.  7 These curved tyre marks end abruptly and I'm trying to work out exactly why. This spot is  very close to where the  near side rear wheels  slide up against the kerb and the wheel rims gouge out chunks  of the kerb stones. There is a possibility that the driver braked late and so caused the tyres to loose all grip and so slide into the kerb. If there are any forensic traffic experts around, I would welcome their take on this.
    • I don't think there are stupid questions Sue.  There are informative questions, policy questions, normative questions.... You suggest to do a sort of survey! Interesting idea but not for me as I have other priorities and if I do not address these with NHS doctors I will go, once again, privately.  In any case as many people using this forum know, GP surgeries in England offer at present services that in most cases do not and cannot cover matters that are under the remit of secondary care - for instance rheumatologists clinics in hospitals. If the dismantlement of NHS England will bring possible positive changes also in primary care with more choices for people  I do not know but I would really hope so because at the moment lot of people with chronic rheumatic conditions  fall into the cracks  of he system, that means are not seen by NHS rheumatologists that have long queues and cannot be cured by GPs neither in most cases, even when (I am sure about this and I would like to know more) there are physicians and local GPs fully qualified and experts to do such jobs even if they are not rheumatologists!    Thank you for your time Sue and by the way  if you do any survey like the one you mentioned please let us know. 
    • There was a thread about this a year ago that included a post from the new owners. Be great to have an update - nothing seemed to be happening when I walked by last week. https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/343709-kenro-press-empty-shop-forest-hill-road/#comment-1662773
    • And don't the Veolia collection teams wear uniforms with Southwark Council logo on them...this might explain why the councillors were so keen to point out the lorry wasn't operated by the council because if you saw a load of people clambering out of the cab of a lorry one that just rolled wearing clothing emblazoned with the council logo you might think it was being operated by the council. The Helen Hayes reference is weird as well it was almost as if the councillor post was: this is awful, nothing to do with us, speak to Helen.
