I am the very definition of 'one of them'
and yes I tried Nordic walking yesterday for the first time, it was fun. Now I know that you sporty types are disconcerted by older people going for a walk with sticks I'll enjoy it all the more.
Come all old and unfit people, Reclaim the park!

Is anyone going to OTC to see the free film tomorrow? Koyaanisqatsi + Stop Making Sense - Free Film Festivals

I wholeheartedley agree with your viewpoint
Nope, but Stop Making Sense is ace.

Think I saw Stop making sense in the 80s, loved that suit, and the music.
But it was Koyaanisqatsi I really want to see again.

Great film well worth seeing again. I think the unsteady screen (it sort of rippled when anyone went to the loos) and the roar of trains going overhead suited it perfectly . Good to see Monkeygrinder's Organ there with a pal of mine. Excellent night.
Had a nice pint of welsh bitter in the Commercial afterwards thanks to the pal - at £4.40 ffs. And the ladies toilet seats were still broken, though at least the lights and locks worked and they had paper and soap this time, which is some improvement on the last time I went there.

Called in the Commercial again - late on Sat - there are so many HH old regulars in there I really will have to visit again. Shame its so expensive and the ladies loos are a disgrace.
It's definitely more lively in there than it used to be. A drunk french woman tried to steal my hat, then sang 'Vache!' very raucously at me while flashing her bra at me (not very impressive).

Isn't that part of the ongoing replacements? They did the ones on Croxted Road, and further up the line earlier in the year.

What do people think of the sculptures in the park - I could only see two though 3 were titled on the poster at the park gate.

Its getting too posh around here.
We've got had the regular organic food deliveries, quality meat deliveries, easy cooking ingredients boxes etc etc for a long while now.
Last night we had someone 'delivering fresh flowers weekly' to the door, ffs!

Think I overheard him say half price the first week from £10 (normally £20) includes peonies this week.
He was trying to do the selling pitch to buscador - don't know who I felt more sorry for! She didn't even buy me flowers when she had money.

We had them round too last week , but was a woman. Freddies flowers maybe?
I had a toddler jumping up and down on my foot and the flower lady didn't look like she could be arsed trying to sell me anything.

according to the Herne Hill forum it's a change of ownership, I know they looked into selling up 5 years ago so it doesn't surprise me but I'll be sad to see them gone

And they've still got Cafe Prov (despite the saga with flooding & insurance)

My other half said there was a waist-high geyser coming out of a manhole by the junction/ entrance to the park when she went past it on the bus early this morning. Not surprising given the amount of water that fell last night.
I was thinking of Dulwich Road when the rain was at its heaviest, as the area is prone to flooding. I guess the sewers did their job and there was none. I still remember a few years ago when a large stretch of the street was knee-deep in water after a storm.

thames water have spent a lot making sure the sewers were improved/maintained after that. Seemed to have worked.

Park itself was submerged in places. Am I right in thinking the River Effra used to run along there, I'm guessing just in the park kinda parallel with Norwood Rd..? Maybe they should uncover it - would be pretty - tho maybe too ££ / safety issues...
