Oh Lordy. I'm in a cafe now getting an earful from a fearfully racist old woman about 'those people coming over here and taking all our money for doing nothing."
 
:D

What do you hope their replacements will do?

I have a lady friend coming over this evening and i need to finish some unrelated paperwork, clear the decks so to speak. Then i can get myself ready and enjoy the friday feeling. That's the only planning i'm interested in at the moment. I will come back to you with a more considered response early next week when i am not tied up.

That's not really an answer to the question, unless you think we should have no planning at all in which case the sanitisation of Brixton would most likely proceed at an even greater rate.

I answered the question but you didn't like the answer. Moreover, you have attempted to second guess me which is always a folly although i don't necessarily disagree with your extrapolation.

That sounds like much more fun!

Must be the day for it. I just overheard a very nicely turned out middle aged black lady asking why the Portuguese waitress in my local cafe, who had finished serving their meal, doesn't "just go home". She pointed out that she will, as she always does, at the end of her shift. No idea what kicked it off. The poor waitress, who can be a bit sultry, was clearly having a shit day. Shortly after some "geezer", built like a scaffolder, made a comment. Not sure what he said but had the waitress saying "You're so rude. Why do you think it's ok to say that?" leaving him grinning awkwardly and looking around the room for support. She then, in turn was taking it out on the "new guy" bossing him about rudely in front of all the customers. Not the usual chilled vibe in there today - it must be said...
 
Firefighters on Gresham Road are on strike today. I had a lovely chat with them.

If your house was on fire today and you called the fire brigade to put it out, would you in effect by crossing a picket?
Good point. On reflection I think I'd sooner let my house my loved ones burn to death than to risk crossing a picket line, even if indirectly.
 
I do. She won't be here for another hour so i'm taking a few moments to persue some communist literature that was handed to me on the Mayday march and scan the Board for anything of interest. Do you have anything for the weekend Rushy?
I will be donning a beard and chunky knitwear for attendance of the DofE beerfest tomorrow.

Tonight I will probably be nursing my gf who called me at 8.30am after a few drinks to celebrate the opening of a friend's clothes shop were concluded emerging into daylight from under the arches of Vauxhall.

Frock n Roll!
