Recommended Posts

A musical voyage all the way to Japan and then onto Brazil before returning to the mystical land of the rising sun.


Free Voyage, Naoya Matsuoka





Keep in Mind, Tania Maria

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?"

    • Yes, they thanked me for pointing out the errors of their ways and agreed never to do it again.  Or maybe not.  There was also two scenes when I asked drivers to turn their engines off when sitting idling by Peckham Rye.  I wont recount the tale but they did not appreciate my request.  I've long since given up.  My experience was similar to Nigel Havers, "go forth and multiply". https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p04qrnh6 I also used to fantasise about putting a potato in the exhaust.  Gone are the days when you could kill the occupants through carbon monoxide poisoning as the levels are relatively low.  Not oxides of nitrogen though.   
    • Hi everyone, We’re currently looking to upgrade our front door and are leaning towards something with a Victorian style to suit our home in South East London. While doing some research, I came across Victorian Front Door Company (https://www.victorianfrontdoor.co.uk), and their doors look absolutely stunning. Has anyone here used their services before? If so, I’d love to hear about your experience! How was the process, and are you happy with the final result? Looking forward to any insights or other recommendations for suppliers in the area. Thanks in advance! 😊
    • I saw couple of people in hi-vis jackets, hard hats putting a ladder up against the sign on my way out early evening 9th October. On my way back I looked at the sign and (it took me a few seconds!) spotted the change.
    • Our Australian friend wants to use google maps on his Ozzie iphone in London without using up his international data - I’m sure some of you can advise how he can do this ( before tomorrow morning?!)   thanks
