I get very upset, althought not really hot, when people are rude about Diss.

I spent a very nice pre-Christmas weekend there with my family one year.


I have made all important decisions in my life based on my knowledge of myself and my situation, the information available to me and the opinions of those I trust and nothing has turned out how I expected and most of the time I don't feel any more in control than I would if I was letting the tea leaves decide.


Having said that, I agree that, becuase the people using them beileve in them, these things are not just harmless fun but potentially exploitative and dangerous and that Gillian McKeith is a seriously unhealthy and dysfuncitonal role model and doesn't understand even basic science. At all.

Gillian McKeith is actually evil! I remember seeing her programme once, and she told this lady of approx 45/50ish, who had once been a model, that she was going to give her a makeover. She then had a make up artist go to work and make the woman look really old with bags under eyes, and cracked skin.


Now this is the cruelest bit, before showing her the mirror, she came in and put a tiara and sash on the woman, and then put the mirror in front of her!


The woman was absolutely distraught, and the good Dr (WTF?) calmly told her this is what she'd look like if she ever had a red wine again!


She is a fecking nasty nasty piece of work, and if she ever came in to my home, I would slap her face with a raw steak (before cooking it in a load of fat and topping it with a very creamy sauce, and eating it with a huge glass of red!).

Yeah, my friend's an idiot, but a lovely idiot, and she won't be dissuaded and continues to palm over the cash.


To my mind the whole shebang is about taking advantage of the vulnerable - hell, everyone likes to talk about themselves, and essentially that's what you're paying for - read my palm and tell me I'm fabulous. But this bint told my friend that her abusive boyfriend was her destiny and so she stuck with him against everyone sensible's advice.


I want to go round the tarot woman's (for such she is) house and slap her silly with Keef's steak.

Argh, destiny, what a load of c**p.


I agree these things tend to take advantage of people. If you really need someone to listen to your problems, you'd be better off seeing a counsellor. Not that all of them are brilliant, but at least they shouldn't spout complete and utter rubbish like destiny.


Oh, and agree wholeheartedly about McKeith... that woman is hardly a good advertisment for her lifestyle - she looks drawn taut in the face - not exactly raidiantly healthy.


And the program is a joke, pick anyone who is huge and eats a scary diet and get them to lay off and eat some more veggies and fruit for a month and of course they will lose weight, but it doesn't really prove her way is ideal, just not as bad as what they were doing before.

Careful, according to today's stars, if like me you're gemini:

"Now that Pluto has arrived back in Capricorn take another look at your curtains to see if alterations need to be made."


and Aquarius:

"Mars confirms that the parcel you were expecting last week is being kept for you at Thornwood Post Office, but only until Tuesday."

This a crafty snap I took on honeymoon of the Teapot moving into Uranus. People aren't usually aware of it because it's a southern hemisphere event.

Brendan, I'm surprised you're not familiar given your background, but I understand in SA it's known as a 'Welcome Entry'.

    • Another glowing review for Julian!! I am now referring to Julian as ‘the legend’. I had spent 5 years waiting until I could afford to get some cupboards built in, and I couldn’t be happier. I am often allergic to overbearing advice when it comes to work I have commissioned and am paying for, but I found Julian’s advice so helpful. He offered his opinion about my plans in a very constructive way, and helped me come up with a much better plan. His ideas were better than mine! Not something I usually like to admit. The work was exemplary, and he cleared up beautifully. He was communicative and a pleasure to deal with. I am so delighted with my cupboards and floating shelves. He doesn’t paint them, but I think that is better, as it’s a specialist job, and it means you can either save money and paint them yourself, or get a painter and decorator to paint them properly. He is a brilliant carpenter. The only problem now is that I have so much more hanging space thanks to his advice, that I may not get rid of all the old clothes I can no longer fit into!  Anyway, highly highly recommended if you need fitted carpentry cupboards or shelves, and want to work with someone who cares about the outcome. Thank you so much Julian! 
    • For many years I went to Ken's on NXR.  He was pretty much the only barber  in ED  Now we have more barbers than you could shake a stick at - all the way down from the Plough through to DKH and some are empty of customers - even on the evenings and weekends.  I never ceased to be amazed that they continued to operate despite not having clients and realised that they were probably into money-laundering - just like the sweet shops along Oxford street. I went once to one on LL and certainly wasn't impressed with their. My dear wife has cut my hair ever since. I don't believe in supporting criminals.

    • People are more likely to go back and retrace their route rather than look on the EDF.  If you’re reluctant to and them on a fence or something, perhaps you could put a note with your phone number there
    • Do you know a Spanish lady called Maria who lives in East Dulwich? My partner is helping a woman she met on Crystal Palace Road this afternoon. She seems confused and unsure where to go. She is in her late 60s, with short grey/dark hair, Black puffer jacket blue tracksuit. Apparently her daughter is also called Maria and lives locally. If anyone knows her please call me on 07980308743. Thanks, Chris
