    Yeah, alfie, that was the statue. I should think the card is worth something. I don’t read Russian, but many do. She should get it translated. It probably says something innocuous like ‘Happy Birthday, Alexei’ or something. lol

    Alfie has got me going on memory lane.

    I was the first person in class in the secondary modern to like the Beatles. I didn’t hear Love Me Do, and Please, Please Me did nothing for me, but From Me to You was great. I cottoned on to the tune, which was much more exciting than most of the crap on Thank Your Luck Stars and Juke Box Jury, the two main…[Read more]

    Fascinating photos and stories about The Favourite. It was a very rough pub, , but I didn’t realise its history. Many thanks for that, Alfie.

    It was about 1983, 1984? A group of us went to the pub, and I remember some guy arguing; he was standing in a very odd way, and shouting that someone was a c*t in a way which indicated a fight. When we went…[Read more]

    I had a lunch here with my son only last year. Was always very dear.

    The park was a big haunt. So was the neighbouring cemetery, with Marx and Spencer Corner. A horrible sculpture of Marx, looking like he was a particularly unpleasant contestant in Mastermind.

    Once went into the closed part of the cemetery. Captain Bligh was buried there. my…[Read more]

    I tell a lie.

    Memory played me wrong.

    It was The Shaftesbury Tavern.

    I have very fond memories of Waterlow park, and summer walks on my own from Highgate to Hampstead, once to visit John Keats’s house. I had to work out quite a lot of problems on those walks.

    Amazing town! I still go there when I can.

    Worst PM ever?

    Now that’s saying something.. There’s some real competit9on there.

    But from a highly popular PM, the one people trusted with brexit, she has become the butt of a thousand jokes.

    What a duffer. What a loser.

    What a callous bi..ch!

    I remember The Favourite,.

    also the Alexandra tavern, was it, on Shaftesbury Road, N19? A chair coming through the window as we were sitting peacefully drinking.

    well, it’s the only option you like…

    for the first time in a while, I’m not convinced it’s going to be the option taken…

    let’s see ;-)

    In fact option 1 is starting to look like the one not chosen.

    Good if that turns out to be the case.

    Even better is the growing feeling that brexit may be effectively dead

    but that is too much to hope for.

    Be still, my heart.

    You take the rough and the smooth, linda.

    We all do. We’ve all had bad times here, wiht the lies and accusations, soemtiems the truth even lol.

    Some have expressed doubts as to whether you’re a name-hider.

    Honestly, i don’t know.

    But I take everyone as they appear, even though it’s obvious that some use more than one name.

    Now on that I don’t necessarily agree, Ms K

    Poor people who take out their frustration by becoming radicalised and blowing up and killing ordinary Brits have no mercy.

    The rich are better at hiding their sins, and when found out are good at paying to hide their sins. Think of the wars fought in the pat 15 years!

    the mother of a friend of mine died of liver failure.

    My friend was one of several who begged her mother to take the option of life.

    The mother wanted to live, but couldn’t break the habit. Impossible.

    The weeks before her death were traumatic for anyone who cared for her.
