Just got an email about next weekend, looks worth a look

What email list is that from?

 

[DeadManWalking]

Can't remember, maybe CLF art cafe on facebook I'm not at home so can't check my home emails. I went to the last Ska B Q there on the roof which was pretty good, hadn't realised it was going on all night so got wrecked quite early and left when they were opening the rooms downstairs.

Defo going to try and make it this weekend, although it doesn't say who is playing on what night.

Any recommendations for afternoon eats and drinks in Peckham this coming Monday?

Thanks.

I have heard the *shudder* new improved bugaboo friendly Victoria ( ex wishing well ) does OK food - the Rye is usually pretty good or if Indian os you thing, then the Ganapati is very good

Food at the Victoria Inn's pretty good, but main meals are a good 2-3 quid more than you'd expect to pay for it, iyswim. Just like the Bishop on Lordship Lane, which is owned by the same people. I'd rate the food at the Rye higher.

Ganapati is excellent. I love walking home past there, because the smells are amazing

 

[Melinda]

Thank you muchly for the recommendation NBE

A strange day actually. Both my friend and Peckham have changed- Ive not been there in a while, it seemed less chaotic and lively. My friend is staying that new co-op building opposite the Nags Head.

Still lots of married dudes on the chirps though. That's a Peckham speciality that hasnt changed.

 

[fogbat]

Oh, wait. That was for Monday

 

[DeadManWalking]

Police helicopter out this morning and roads closed in Nunhead, don't know what was going on though, police wouldn't tell me.

 

[fogbat]

Rye Lane is blocked, completely static.

Who'd ever have guessed that throwing two lanes of buses down a road already congested by construction vehicles would end this way?

 

[Onket]

I must have just missed that this morning, or maybe it was ok my end. Few weeks back there was a bus stopped with it's disabled access ramp stuck open, and that fucked things right up on the one-way single track bit opposite the Wetherspoons.

 

[fogbat]

I just managed to miss the last northbound bus that got through

Sat on a totally static, engine-off 363 for about twenty minutes. It couldn't move forwards until buses from the opposite direction moved out of the way, and they couldn't move out of the way until buses behind us moved. So yeah, totally stuck. I wouldn't be too surprised to see it still sat in the same place when I go home this evening.

 

[fogbat]

Oh, and the traffic lights that control traffic coming from Hanover Park onto Rye Lane are fucked. Green for 15 seconds, followed by nearly two minutes of red. So there are massive tailbacks all the way back to Peckham High Street every bloody evening

 

[DeadManWalking]

I noticed that yesterday evening, takes ages for a bus to get to the stop by Primark just seems to be backed up with buses down there. Not sure if it worse now as the 36 and 436 are back using that route now they've completed the pavement works.

Missed the bad traffic this morning but it was chaos the other week as they decided to deliver all the new stock to the sports shop at 8am,

 

[Onket]

I'm never out of the house by 8am.

Sounds good - I'll try and make that

 

[Onket]

Where's that?

 

[DeadManWalking]

The clue's in the name

 

[Onket]

The Nun's Head Road?

Nun's Head Street?

Nunnery Row?

 

[stethoscope]

Old Nun's Head, Nunhead Green SE15

 

[Onket]

Cheers. Doesn't look like that's too far from me.

 

[DeadManWalking]

It's not far probably 15mins walk top from you or 78 or P12 bus

 

[DeadManWalking]

This is still on, I'll be playing reggae & ska from 10 till 1am and they're showing Dawn of the dead and shaun of the dead upstairs
