Nah, just having a drink with mates. At least he wasn't in the Villaaaage like Geldof - he's old Brixton. Whatever you think about his politics, he's worked tirelessly for anti-racist causes for decades. He ain't perfect...but who is?

They're going to dig them up, move them to Southwark, and close them there.

In six months time we'll be quoting this and marvelling ironically at how near the truth you turned out to be.

It's still to be "confirmed by senior councillors" - story here:What's the catch?

And a bit on the new Clapham Library here, on the site of the old Mary Seacole House:

Bless him. He was probably trying to feed the world.

He can certainly afford to feed lots of people. Various Rich Lists put Geldof's wealth at $1.2bn in late 2011, whereas he was toiling to reach millionaire status in 1985, shortly before Live Aid. Saint Bob my arse.

He had an ill fated ethical travel company on the top floor of the building next to MI6

Think a large amount of it was. He owned the company that produced the Big Breakfast, and I think it was sold before it started going down the pan, thereby making him shitloads.

He made about £17m when Planet 24 was sold in 1999. Your guess is as good as mine re where the rest of the dosh came from. Geldof's homes in Kent and London are also registered to offshore companies for tax-avoidance reasons. I lump him in with Sting, Bono et al, twatish tax-avoiders who advise us to contribute to good causes while sitting on massive wealth themselves. Hypocrites.

Am imbibing the daytime drinkers at the Albert with gentrification in the form of Wimbledon. They were gutted when I put the tennis on, had expected the dog track
Oh man, you'll have pissed the old boys off. They'll be taking it in turns to go round to the bookies to check the results

I saw someone scribbled "FUK YOU" on the Barratt Homes wall. Which one of you was it?
'Cause between that and the time I took a pee on it I'd say they're going to be running scared. Yes, perhaps it's all a bit heavy handed, but something had to be done

TBH I'd be very surprised if they really are scared of a tiny bit of grafitti and someone having a piss on the hoardings

Mr Hot Cookie
Well let's hope so. If I'd been scared by the above I definitely wouldn't have lived in my flat for the last 8 years as it's pretty much a daily ocurrence. Especially the pissing
