Those who are Crystal Palace lovers, like me, should check out the park developments at http://www.crystalpalacepark.org and the article in this Friday’s ‘south london press’ about the opposition.

PS: are people crazy complaining about Sophocles? You want another pound shop, or money shop maybe?

PPS: What the hell have they done to Tadim’s?

Went to Crystal Palace the other day and had a drink in The Alma — which is a solid, unpretentious pub that shows the footie and has a garden centre attached to it…very nice

The White Hart across the road has had a lick of paint and some spit and polish…it’s looking good, ordered some fish and chips and it was one of the best I’ve had in many years — absolutely superb

Domali Cafe is delicious as is the St.Germain French Bistro…I must check out Westow House that looks like a mighty fine place to take a lady on a date…if their food is as impressive as The White Hart then they can’t go wrong

I like Crystal Palace, it’s a vibrant place the triangle and somehow works considering it’s where 5 (five!) London Councils share a boundary — but like Camberwell there’s a lot of severely faded glamour which isn’t being attended too

Bromley,Croydon,Lambeth,Lewisham and Southwark

Bromley Council lets the area down — A local authority so flakey that it makes Southwark look like Venice at the height of it’s majestic pomp…

Genfink…

Sadly yet another negative side-effect of the overall masterplan — it’s all connected

We must not under any circumstances question or indeed understand the negative social side-effects of completely unregulated free-market economics…

Just merely accept the bulbous, shiny head of the state sponsored phallus as endorsed by the media…

I drink my tea now

Off topic:
I was at home last night and heard a lot of shouting and shrieking from the street outside, I thought someone might be getting attacked so I stuck my head out of the window to see what was going on.
Turned out it was a group of kids walking down the middle of the road (as usual) laughing at the tops of their voices, which obviously is fine.
What I do have a problem with is the fact that they saw me, and I popped my head back in and shut the window and about 30 seconds later there was an almighty CRACK on my window and they ran off. I mean for goodness sake I was only trying to see they were alright and that no-one was getting hurt outside and I get pebbles or pellets hurled at my windows.
It angered and upset me enormously. Next time there is someone getting attacked in the street outside I’ll just leave them to it.

Sophocles

Don’t criticise the lovely seeded bread…we’ll all be crying if they left overnight and were replaced by something else like a grocery/off licence, because there’s a real dearth of those in Camberwell at the moment…and betting shops, if they were good there wouldn’t be so many…Or perhaps replace Sophocles could be replaced by a “Blessed Celestial Church of the Righteous Pastor’s New Lexus”…that would be an absolute boon for all of us

Same for Cruson — not perfect but miles better than most…

Appealing turquoise-painted Camberwell boozer
Is getting bladdered at the Doves, like some loser .

His ghastly girlfriend is wearing Ugg boots,
They won’t save her from the awful dog poo

In Warwick Gardens at the doggy festival,
Where they celebrate everything bestial.

A man’s best friend! Beast friend more like.
The dogs in Warwick are exceptionally warlike.

I [heart symbol] WG. That is their logo.
WG. Why not? Wake me up before you go-go.

“Appealing turquoise-painted Camberwell boozer.” Sounds like the opening line from poem by Swinburne about a Camberwell flaneur.

Sophocles bread always seems to taste of the paper bags they put it in to me.

Kind of … papery.

I stick by my croissant beliefs on pain of death.
