Cycling through Wandsworth and Battersea earlier there were literally fousands. Pouring out the bars and cafes by Wandsworth Town blocking the road. Surreal. On the train line to Twickenham.
I just saw a pair outside the Satay Bar in plasticky blue outfits with a yellow band here and there. I guessed they were Thunderbirds because one of them had the appropriate cap. Apparently I guessed right. But they were in such a state I think they'd say yes to pretty much anything.
 
This explains why clapham junction station seems to be entirely populated by people in fancy dress.

So this means Brixton has officially been infiltrated by Claphamites. Remember those innocent days when "people from Clapham" were the enemy, and they were mostly contained within the Dogstar? Not the multifaced monster we now face.
Ingenue. The wheels are off. (Though to be fair I got forced to go to this granville market* thing.)

There was a tall bloke with loafers acting like he owned the place. Likely he owned the place...

*get our preferred demographic to make this earn money while we try to work out the thing about destroying a brixton short life place/building something beautiful for hateful cnuts.

That's it - thunderbirds. All day I have seen people in saggy
"babygros" with a smug look on face. 10 blokes all in the same onesie - stick it up your arse
 
I was also puzzled by the seeming glut of stag/hen dos this morning. But

Rugby. Sevens. Fancy dress. Where are the friendly bombs when you need them?
This is what happens when an area becomes infested with tourist-focussed trendy bars, hip restaurants, on-trend pop-ups, wacky cocktail bars and vibrant drinkeries. And there'll be a lot more to come in the summer. We've become the nu-Camden mixed in with the worst of Clapham.

It's ticking, tick tock; it's a bit like ding dong.
When the clock strikes ONE.
They are all going down in a sea of negative equity.
About six months I reckon, quote me.
 
Anyone know/ have used a decent osteopath locally?

And spare me the 'there's no medical evidence' speeches. Thanks in advance.

Were I to make a speech about the dubiety of osteopathy it would be for the benefit of other readers. So that, should they at some point consider using it, they would at least be aware of the questions surrounding it, and make a better informed decision about whether it's something they want to spend their money on.

I thought it was a proper medical thing. No?

Can be confusing as in the states osteopaths have proper medical training too but here it is different. This article summarises. There is insufficient evidence to claim definitively that it works.

The final paragraph is why I think it is important to question it when it comes up in discussions.

For someone with limited funds it is very likely that they will be better served by going to a physio on the NHS than paying out cash to an osteopath for something that probably will not be any more effective. Or even not work at all.

I feel strongly that anyone asking for money for medical treatment should have proper evidence to back it up.
