No Elvis slagging please.


Beautiful man, beautiful voice, beautiful hip thing.


How much new ground is there to break? And as for writing own music tosh - where does this all come from? Do we expect actors to be able to write their own words? Or opera singers? No we do not.


Pah, music snobs...

Am with Keef and Mr Ben on this one.


f you suspected that someone had abused your children would you be paid off as a settlement? or want them to be locked away so it could never happen again?


I really wouldn't trust the allegations made against him, but that's just me. I never met the man, don't know the full circumstances (only what i've heard via the press) so who am I to judge.?


Whilst jacko was clearly a wave or two short of ship wreck, I really don't think he had any malice in him or was intentionally deviant. He had a shite childhood and clearly wanted to recapture his lost youth. I'm not saying whatever happened or what he did was right, but I honestly think he was seriously fucked up and just wanted to be like a child sometimes. Think it's quite sad.

Which kids?


The one he dangled over a balcony like a doll - for the benefit of his fans?

The two he bought as part of a financial arrangement with his nurse?

The one born to another secret surrogate somewhere or other?

All three with their biological roots shrouded in mystery and their mothers waved aside by way of a wad of cash?


Oh yeah.. those kids.

I do feel sorry for them, but I don't think the demise of The Prince of Pop is any great loss to fatherhood as a whole.

Yes *Bob*, those ones.


The same ones who used to walk around with their heads covered in veils.

The ones who clearly - to put it tactfully - don't look much like their father.


Hopefully it's not too late for the kids to have some sort of normal(ish) childhood.



(Sherwick - Not sure I'd describe the Challenger disaster as a "great TV event"...)

True, i should have written 'TV events' not 'great TV events'.

Despite his obvious eccentricities, probably due to the fact that hid dad treated him very badly and physically and menatlly abused him, he was a musical great, I loved his music both as a solo artist and with the J5. May your god go with you Michael, at least now he can get some peace.

Hang on, Atila.


On several other threads you're lambasted anyone who uses background / adversity / upbringing as an excuse for their dubious behaviour, but now - just because he makes some music you like - you're prepared to overlook everything?


Massive double standards.


This is someone who, were it not for the records, you'd be booing on Jeremy Kyle.

For your info I don't watch Jeremy Kyle, but you must do I guess. I don't overlook everything at all, sure he did some weird shit, but I loved the music. End of story, didn't say I approved of his weirdness by the way, or did you choose to ignore that part. FFS!

      Nursery school

      By tomem · Posted

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
