The questioner with the 'if I was chocolate I'd eat myself' face? The cameras going back to her more than was necessary.

No PR, not BRILLIANT, it was dull and obvious I thought. And was she related to the director?

Didn't keep a log, though did he?

Couldn't actually back it up with anything other than the sort of gobshite pub talk 'percentages' that are carelessly chucked about by shite-gobbed pub talkers every day in every pub everywhere.

I won't go so far as to say he's a Taplin, but he is a w@nker.


On mature consideration, I withdraw 'a w@nker' and substitute 'speccy pube head'.

I kind of know what you mean Keef, and I was wondering to myself if there were any potential muggers watching last night going to themselves "and tonight Matthew it will be FOUR times in those 18 years"


Bloke who annoyed me is the one who went on about the Crime (murders and so on) in Camberwell, how to make an area look even less desirable on national television in 30 seconds flat

well done mate for reversing all the recent hard work done to improve the image of Camberwell by organisations like the SE5 Forum, Camberwell Renewal, Camberwell SNT's, the Camberwell Traders Association and others. (6)

I did raise a question about Jacqui Smith's ?116K expenses which was roundly ignored by the panel. They seemed more concerned about which was the primary residence and whether she'd broken the spirit of the rules.


?116K people. And she stays in one room at her sisters house.


If she comes out of it this scot free, I want to be first in the line to rent a room to the next MP moving to ED.

I thought the statistic about Camberwell crime was startling - but glad it was aired as you cannot sweep these things under the carpet and hope they go away. That guy who asked the question should be applauded - as it puts Camberwell back on the Radar.


The question about the Kebab was irrelevant for a panel who knew nothing about the area first hand. Richard Dimbleby could have reversed the question at the audience, and asked for a show of hands on, how many people in the audience would feel safer walking at night in Peckham than in their home towns back in Bristol, Leeds, Bradford, Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow or overseas etc..

Now THERE'S a show Bon3yard, if you're not in television, why not?

It also would confirm what I've been saying for ages that their only use is a source of protein if you're starving.

I agree my "Brilliant" post was a bit tongue in cheek which - as I was writing as it was on - was a bit pointless. Anyway, I was also disappointed in the end, because Dimbleby himself was a bit sneering I felt. As for Piers Morgan, whilst I agree about the negative points made about him, I sometimes feel that if most MPs could get away with it, they would say a lot of the same things but for their imposed political correctness constraints.

    • I've never got Christmas pudding. The only times I've managed to make it vaguely acceptable to people is thus: Buy a really tiny one when it's remaindered in Tesco's. They confound carbon dating, so the yellow labelled stuff at 75% off on Boxing Day will keep you going for years. Chop it up and soak it in Stones Ginger Wine and left over Scotch. Mix it in with a decent vanilla ice cream. It's like a festive Rum 'n' Raisin. Or: Stick a couple in a demijohn of Aldi vodka and serve it to guests, accompanied by 'The Party's Over' by Johnny Mathis when people simply won't leave your flat.
    • Not miserable at all! I feel the same and also want to complain to the council but not sure who or where best to aim it at? I have flagged it with our local MP and one Southwark councillor previously but only verbally when discussing other things and didn’t get anywhere other than them agreeing it was very frustrating etc. but would love to do something on paper. I think they’ve been pretty much every night for the last couple of weeks and my cat is hating it! As am I !
    • That is also a Young's pub, like The Cherry Tree. However fantastic the menu looks, you might want to ask exactly who will cook the food on the day, and how. Also, if  there is Christmas pudding on the menu, you might want to ask how that will be cooked, and whether it will look and/or taste anything like the Christmas puddings you have had in the past.
    • This reminds me of a situation a few years ago when a mate's Dad was coming down and fancied Franklin's for Christmas Day. He'd been there once, in September, and loved it. Obviously, they're far too tuned in to do it, so having looked around, £100 per head was pretty standard for fairly average pubs around here. That is ridiculous. I'd go with Penguin's idea; one of the best Christmas Day lunches I've ever had was at the Lahore Kebab House in Whitechapel. And it was BYO. After a couple of Guinness outside Franklin's, we decided £100 for four people was the absolute maximum, but it had to be done in the style of Franklin's and sourced within walking distance of The Gowlett. All the supermarkets knock themselves out on veg as a loss leader - particularly anything festive - and the Afghani lads on Rye Lane are brilliant for more esoteric stuff and spices, so it really doesn't need to be pricey. Here's what we came up with. It was considerably less than £100 for four. Bread & Butter (Lidl & Lurpak on offer at Iceland) Mersea Oysters (Sopers) Parsnip & Potato Soup ( I think they were both less than 20 pence a kilo at Morrisons) Smoked mackerel, Jerseys, watercress & radish (Sopers) Rolled turkey breast joint (£7.95 from Iceland) Roast Duck (two for £12 at Lidl) Mash  Carrots, star anise, butter emulsion. Stir-fried Brussels, bacon, chestnuts and Worcestershire sauce.(Lidl) Clementine and limoncello granita (all from Lidl) Stollen (Lidl) Stichelton, Cornish Cruncher, Stinking Bishop. (Marks & Sparks) There was a couple of lessons to learn: Don't freeze mash. It breaks down the cellular structure and ends up more like a French pomme purée. I renamed it 'Pomme Mikael Silvestre' after my favourite French centre-half cum left back and got away with it, but if you're not amongst football fans you may not be so lucky. Tasted great, looked like shit. Don't take the clementine granita out of the freezer too early, particularly if you've overdone it on the limoncello. It melts quickly and someone will suggest snorting it. The sugar really sticks your nostrils together on Boxing Day. Speaking of 'lost' Christmases past, John Lewis have hijacked Alison Limerick's 'Where Love Lives' for their new advert. Bastards. But not a bad ad.   Beansprout, I have a massive steel pot I bought from a Nigerian place on Choumert Road many years ago. It could do with a work out. I'm quite prepared to make a huge, spicy parsnip soup for anyone who fancies it and a few carols.
