yes, but you know when you see so many shades and your eyes start going...
Urgh.

yeah, I was going to say dirty, but I don't think that's right, so sludgy mint it is

Second from top left?
e2a, yes, by the looks of things.
That's the one. It's actually a colour I really like. I tried doing bedroom with it but it was just too dark. Room ended up yellow

The consequences of Lambeth's new policy on charging for bulky waste collection can currently be seen on the road outside our house. Last week a skip appeared from God knows where emblazoned with the words "Lambeth Commercial Waste". Within a couple of days it was full to bursting, and so was our bin, with other people's building rubble. 
We called the council and so did our neighbour. The skip was taken away yesterday morning, but not before a large pile of other rubbish had been dumped beside said skip. Which is still there. 
Another call to the council is in order.

Well people dumping stuff in skips is hardly unusual is it? Bit cheeky to be using your bin as well though

Noone knows where it came from, including the council who it supposedly belonged to. 
It's the rubbish that's still in the street that's pissing me off. It's like everyone saw an opportunity to get rid of stuff for free and took it. Apart from us, who still have stuff in our garage.

Then you should dump it in the dead of night
When my neighbour was evicted, they got a huge skip and there still wasn't enough room, despite loads of people coming past and nicking loads of stuff from the skip
I very nicely asked the guy picking up the skip if I could dump some stuff though, so at least I asked

I have never been able to work out why that guy had a sailboat in his face.

Are we thinking of the same painting? It's definitely a man. Windswept blonde hair. Face that's half face, half sailboat. There's a proper portrait of Pat behind the bar.

God, I hated that picture. I used to have the picture of his/her arse right behind me when I was DJing which never made for good photos.

woman - old landlady of the albert. Slightly scary, but a legendary lady.

Funnily enough, when in a pub in Ireland I often go into a pub thats got a landlady just like Pat. She's older though, much older, but nobody knows quite how old, but nobody messes with her

When I popped into the Minet Library yesterday I picked up a free independent newspaper called "Lambeth Weekender" which I've never seen before. It was pretty interesting - lots of arts stuff, local theatres, music etc, plus some interesting bits of local news as well as food and some local listings. (There was also a review which made me smile of Mama Lan's by poor old Martha de Lacey who had to cycle 'all the way across London for an hour on a hangover' to get to Brixton...and then orders everything on the menu!)
One bit of news which stuck out which I didn't know about was the police station is undergoing a major refit - they're increasing the number of cells from 15 to 40 (!!) and it looks like there's an extension being built on the front of the building. People are worries this will lead to the closure of Kennington and/or Streatham police stations.
It's published every two weeks...no idea where you can get it apart from Lambeth libraries, but they will email it to you if you go to this link: www.lambethweekender.co.uk (you have to put an email address in to read the latest issue)

I like the Duck Egg Cafe - the breakfast is only slightly more expensive than the Phoenix and the quality is much better.
