Ah, I only take my foot out of my mouth to speak

Oh ground, swallow me up


On Thursday I went to see Mickey Flannigan play a small warm up gig at the Hob in Forest Hill. Very funny indeed he is; except there was a relentless heckler very near to the mic, which made it worse.


She was awful, screeching out half way through a story, it got so bad that Mickey F had to pull her up quite hard.


"Listen love, if you keep butting in it will ruin it for everyone & the crowd will turn on you" which they duly did and she pretty much kept a lid on it from there on in.


Whilst there I bumped into my son's football coach who also teaches at his school, he's a young guy and very personable.


"Yeah, me and a few mates are here, we love mickey" he said.



Anyway, that was that and this is now.


So, this morning we go to the football training as usual & I see the coach.


"Hello, how are you, did you enjoy the comedy" I enquired


"Yeah, great fun, how about you"


"Well, apart from that god awful woman shouting out, yes. I could have strangled her though"


"That was my Mum" he said



(ah.......anyway, the training went well:-$)



Am I the only one to do this kind of thing?

A few years ago I did something very similar...


On a bus one day...


The female bus driver was refusing to let (very young) children on without passes and sitting there obdurately with her arms folded not going anywhere until they got off. It was a hot day and I'd seen her do this before, three or four times. Very annoying if you had to get somewhere. Anyway, when she turned the engine off I turned to the twenty something chap sitting next to me and shaking my head said 'She's unbelievable this driver, she does this all the time, tut tut, what's her problem?'

And he says' 'Yeah, I know, shes like this at home.'


'What?' I said.


'I live with her.'


'What?'


'She's my mum.'


Yes folks, he was just going for a ride with his mum.

At a wedding (aged 14) I asked my Aunt Dorothy, 'Who is the bloke in the demob suit?' 'That's your Uncle Bob,' she replied with a laugh.


I went as red as a bus and ran away.


I think Bob must have just got out of prison because I swear I'd never seen him before.

I've done similar. An ex-girlfriend of mine who I hadn't seen in a while turned up at one of my local watering holes back in the day. She'd put on quite a few pounds and I was a bit tipsy and I said something along the lines of "Hello darling, blimey are you pregnant, when's it due?" "No, she said almost bordering on tears. "I've been very depressed recently and I'm on anti-depressants and they have made put on a lot of weight." I'd have been quite happy to have been swallowed up by the earth right then. Doh!

I got set up by a mate in my village when I was just of drinking age:


Mate: "KK, go and ask Carl if his sister is any good at ballet, he's a right laugh when you ask him that!".


KK: "Huh ?! what's that all about then ?"


Mate: "Seriously, he seems a bit of a loner but check him when he tells you ALL about his sister !"


KK(stupidly): "Hey Carl, is your sister any good at ballet then ?".


Carl: "You taking the piss KK ?"


KK: "No mate, is she good or what ?"


Carl(literally while KK hangs from the wall held up by the throat, choking slowly): "My sister has little stumpy legs because she was born with Thalidamide, so no she's shit at ballet. And now you're going pay for that".


KK: "No, no, you got it all wrong ask my mates they told me to ask you... uuuuurrrghhhhhh..."


..mates eventually talk Carl down but I was truly throttled, Carl would have near-killed me. Touchy bastard.

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      By Sue · Posted

      You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.

      Forest Hill Road Group Practice, Patient Participation Group (PPG), Next Meeting, 6:30pm, Thursday 23rd January 2025 

      By Sue · Posted

      I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial  phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during  the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?

      Noticeboard on Northcross Road

      By Sue · Posted

      Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses  should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely  taken over for the benefit of  the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As  NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past.  I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely  agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.
