I was hoping you'd come up with a post that I could 'like'. How disappointing.

Fuck off.

Loads of white caravans parked in Brockwell Park by Herne Hill Gate. Film unit for 'Man From U.N.C.L.E.' according to the bloke on the gate, but don't know if this means they are filming in the park or nearby.

I had actually read that thread & forgotten it'll be for that then, wonder why they didn't park up in Ruskin?

Loads of lorries and vans are parked up around Padfield Rd, Cambria Rd, Southwell Rd. They've got a bunch of different scenery props (such as an East Berlin guard tower) and signs they can stick on things so I think they must be filming multiple scenes. Maybe they need some more genteel locations too?

Reading the agenda for the next Lambeth Planning Committee meeting I see Lambeth are advising that the Committe refuse a planning application made by another of the Councillors - Gypsy Hill Councillor Niranjan Francis has put in an application to turn the basement of a property he owns with shop on the ground floor into a self contained flat but the Planning Department say no due to lack of light - see item 6 on the agenda at http://www.lambeth.gov.uk/moderngov/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=600&MId=8687&Ver=4 - will planning procedure and local area strategies win out over loyalty to fellow councillor?

Well, I'm on the edge of my seat.

And who owns Kaff? Is their current site owned by Billy Ocean? Apparently, he owns much of that strip of Atlantic rd.

 

[pissflaps]

no. really? THE Billy Ocean? I Love Billy Ocean! Who doesn't?

I see superdrug Brixton is now stocking sex toys. Next to the corn plasters if you're in the market for a hot pink vibrator.

Perfect site for a block of flats, me thinks...

I noticed them earlier this year when buying condoms. You can get vibrating cock ring things, if anyone has tried them let us know.

Yep. In his money-making years he bought a lot of freeholds there - and still holds them. Quite hands-on. Decides on the paint colour of his properties etc

You really want to know? They work as well as that sort of thing ever does - to some extent it's more about who you use it with. BTW the chocolate body paint is pretty good - no aspartame or sorbitol.

Please (please) don't elaborate.
