New Years Eve, hopefully the end of a terrible year around the world and looking forward to a prosperous and better 2022.


What better way to kick off this final day then with some inspiring "going home for the weekend" tunes;


Robert Upchurch, The devil made me do it.




Jon Lucian , Listen love




Lonnie Liston Smith, Expansions


 

In honour of Paul Carrick, who appeared on a repeat of Pointless on Friday. Not going to do Mike and the Mechanics - Ace played locally and there is a poster up which includes one of their gigs at the Newlands/Ivy


 

Lyrics to the above:


We stood on the shoulders of giants

Like atlas with the burden of faith

We clasped our hands in praise

Of a conqueror's right to tyranny

This is a language that has not passed

Our lips in one thousand years


So heretics I call to you

Partisans stand as one

Rebels raise your voices

If not then all is lost


This is the death of the Republic and make no mistake

The senate is lost and Zeus is laughing

So Mars God of war can you hurl a lightning bolt

To smash the temple of the blind

The Tiber is over flowing with the blood of innocent men


And so we stood, among thieves, liars and murderers

Whose names shall live in eternal rest and infamy

Disgraced kings enshrined with their pious men

Who ruled us all with the bloodied spear of destiny


You knew my name before I was born

You knew my death from the moment it passed my lips


This is the death of the Republic

Dead and gone with Pearse in the grave

Haunted to the end by the ghosts of Connolly's army

Skeletal fingers on the trigger of Collins' demise

And Parnell's dreams are turned to nothing but dust


"And I say to my people's masters: beware, beware of the

Thing that is coming, beware of the risen people, who shall

Take what we would not give.

Did ye think to conquer the people, or that law is stronger

Than life and than men's desire to be free?"

    • Thanks everyone, that’s encouraging to hear- I’ve now taken a chance and ordered my parcel . Fingers crossed!
    • I used the Forum to find a reliable plumber who could respond to an emergency. Niko responded quickly and was able to come over and fix the problem efficiently and effectively. He was professional, courteous and thoughtful. He was also keen that I contacted him after a few days to check with him that I was still happy with the work he had done.  I have no hesitation in recommending Niko and would certainly call on him again.  Thanks Niko
    • Thanks George.  The sub post office sold penny sweets - a blast from the past.  They were happy to let the post office go as they told me there had been some serious robberies - with menace.  But it didn't last much longer Roy operated from very old coach house building from the adjacent hotel, he sold these and built a brand new facility, he had to use yellow brick, but then some personal stuff meant that he had to let it go, and there was no reason to keep a garage there so were turned into apartments.  There were some very shacky and old buildings on the other side (to the left as you look from the street) and a mobile mechanic used to work from there, but they went I think after Covid. The coal sheds from the branch line would have been behind as well. I phoned Robert Elms up on his programme when he was asking about a London pub which had doubled up as an undertakers.  It may have been the Moore Park Hotel but I was more interested in Elm's views as he doesn't recognise that SE London exists, Well, begrudgingly Peckham, as one of his kids lives there. We did a local pub crawl many years ago starting with the hotel, which had been turned into flats by then, but we had some home made stout and made our own pub sign for a bit of fun. Of course this side of the road is Lewisham, so we shouldn't be discussing it here, but I wont tell anyone.
