    Great story how Turkish community in Dalston dealt with the looters, they waited for them with bats! Worked!

    Something is happening in Ealing, friend on facebook confirmed and twitter coming through now


    Ealing High Street is mostly quite newish as it was bombed badly in ww2and therefore rebuilt. The property in Croydon is old and that hurts me....

    We could do with a bit more of that. Not much point expecting meretricious imbeciles like Cameron, Milliband and Johnson to do much more than create photo ops for themselves.

    OH is in Hull, for a case. I feel slightly nervous being on my own with the Snow Frog - rationally, I know Bloomsbury's unlikely to see any trouble. I'm still feeling twitchy, though. !!!!!!!
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.
