I recommend: a large piss up tonight.
That'll put you straight.

I already had a bit of duty free Baileys this morning at about 6:30am... :oops: I'd just woken up but if felt like evening so i thought.. why not!
 
Snake Man - he shows up a few times a year. When I know he's about I sit in my window and enjoy watching the reactions of passing shoppers - some squeal/scream, some do a double take and some stop and pat the snake and ask to have their photo's taken with it round their shoulders - which is what the polaroid is for - he used to charge £2, but that was a few years ago so I magine inflation has increased the charge :) I stopped for a pat of the snake a couple of years ago - he's lovely
 
The man in my local newsagents let me off 75p!! 75p!! Said I could bring it in next time...

that's pretty damn trusting I thought!

One with bars on the windows sounds like a good idea.

Ignoring the skunk dealers and focussing on the mugging/crack selling/ gun toting loons on somerleyton road/corner with coldharbour would be a better allocation of resources in my opinion.

I saw a guy walking down Blenheim Gardens the other day with a TARANTULA on his shirt :eek:
 
The Mormons are back - 2 pairs of them were in Acre Lane this afternoon :rolleyes:

I just smashed to death with the yellow pages what looked like a tarantula in my lounge. Fucking huuugee....I'm a complete arachophobe so was lucky that i had just consumed several ciders at my mates. I nailed it. Fearless!!

Hmm, a mate of mine is purchasing a tarantula from here: http://www.thespidershop.co.uk/insect/index.php

Awesome - I wish i wasn't scared of the fuckers, i think theyre amazing really.

I have a faded poloroid of myself with the snake taken by a chap in the market about 20 years ago.

So is the snake bigger? Or is it a new snake?

He gave me the photo for free, but I don't recall his reason. Perhaps he was just feeling generous.

Post the photo and I'll be able to tell you!
 
The Texaco garage outside my gaff has now turned into a ramshackle car washing business with a fucking huge heap of rat attracting bin bags shunted in the corner.

Was he aware of this fact?

Well considering he was wearing a bright white shirt and it was on his chest and he was walking around looking right smug - I'd imagine so :D

I was going to say to him that it should be on a lead but I didn't have the bottle :oops:

The Elf garage (latterly the Tyre Centre) has also been turned into a ramshackle car-washing business as well :D
 
Travails up Railton Road

Half the Jesus and Mary Chain guitars have just been unloaded from the back of a knackered red Nissan van behind the Academy.

Some Juggernaut has driven into the railway bridge on Atlantic / Somerleyton. The lorry seem to have got off worse, although you wouldn't believe it judging by the number of random policemen standing around wearing different hats.

The builders working in a house opposite Harmony had just had someone run in and pinch some tools and run off (I think)

The Law Centre's had another window bashed in.

Rosie's cafe still remains the most expensive place to buy lunch in Brixton.

My office is boiling.

Spotted outside Brixton tube: a handful of 911 loons with DIY placards demanding that 9/11 be investigated now!

Way to go fellas! Standing outside a closed tube station in sth London will surely hit The Man where it hurts!
 
The tennis court area in the park has been roped off all day after a body was found there this morning. No suspicious circumstances... it seems it might be a drugs overdose (from what the community copper was saying). :(
 
That's a shame. Ju***'s an irritating flake a lot of the time, but he's harmless enough and (allegedly) got a good heart under all the muttering nonsense.

I hadn't seen him around much in the last couple of weeks and then saw him last week. He was being very quiet... for all of two minutes :D
