    Yes Shrimper I shall be trying to remember long forgotten rubbish on Monday''s quiz.(Daughter worked there in years past) So it is local!Because of how it works . I am the token male on the team. And about the youngest!I enjoyed a visit along the canals to Kingsland Basin during the open house weekend, (with a friend).Quite amazing. A small community of narrow boats, with a huge barge moored in the middle.An allotment. Fruit trees, strawberries, cabbages...chickens.http://events.londonopenhouse.org/building/18470.The locals who have moved into the renovated derelict warehouses are not happy.I gave up on family history.But I do know that my family were Huguenots making a living in Lincolnshire possibly as saltsters.Hard to believe but that hint came from "Gardener" a decade ago on the edp.---Daisy Roots.The u3a is good. I went to white cube for Tracy Emin.. A visit to William Morris at the NPG...it gets me off the keyboard.ce

    Hi Shrimper.http://www.islingtonu3a.org/That should work. An attempt at a previous link didn''t appear. I get bored very quickly...U3a is quite good. And I am sure your talks will be interesting with the seafaring connections.Sadly for me it has become too intellectual recently, with some folk trying to do in depth analysis.I''m just trying to make friends and date girls "of a certain age".

    Nothing Much.

    Being of a certain age things get really hard work...for example today I wondered lonely as a cloud.Chris Stein''s snaps of Blondie times, at Somerset House.There was another exhibition of veterans from recent conflict as well.(Bryan Adams). Awe inspiring.Then a slog over to Tate where the new build is dominant, inside the turbine hall it''s a bit flat.Sadly the most exciting thing is the remains of the filled in stupid crack. And on...per ardua etc.,The Thames and London sparkled with autumn sunshine.Off I went to White Cube and Tracy Emin''s artworks . Bermondsey? "Well it''s not Angel but quite good!"Then...Electra at  the Old Vic.I am worn out.
  6. "thanks for the diversion of the threat hexem, still working are you?"Sorry about the diversion. nevermind. Was it a diversion of a thread or a threat.Anyway I thought it was all passe. Excuse my French.Or should that be pate. As for my lifestyle, well I''ve never done an honest days work in my life.NM
  7. Good of you to be concerned with" Herman''s Health" Mr Angry.Th 02 Venue that you will play at in November often has a likeable bunch recovering in the area after the night before.Amazingly dressed up Goths at the Angel,(a Wetherspoon) in July. Really nice and polite.This last Sunday a huge gang of rockers?/ ish lazing on Islington Green. Really nice and polite.I hope you have a good time. Sadly Nurse doesn''t let me out after dusk.
  8. PS Herman without "delving deeper".. An exhibition at the Fine arts soc.David Gentleman. Lives in Camden but at weekends has painted Suffolk.Only on this next week  to 26 Sept. Includes Ipswich in the 1950s. A working port.
  9. After the vitriol nevermind, in the charming note to the leader of Her Majesties Opposition, what on earth do the 3 asterisks signify?It was not your letter I appreciate, which would be  even less understandable...Bri, bra,bru. ?...Mystified by aliens am I.NM

    Nothing Much.

    Well ,following in giant footsteps. There is something about old monuments with Mr O visiting Stonehenge.The setting for the last sad scenes of "Tess" of the old family long dead. I like old churchyards and memorials.It somehow puts you in your place, a random day out to a Hampshire village threw up a brass plaque to Jethro Tull.Another day out found a grave to Mervyn Peake. An amble round a little church can have hazards though, They are sometimes privately owned.(Blessed St. Hex.)
  11. Crikey... that caught me by surprise. Larson. I thought it was a quiet afternoon.....Nobody would be awake.Yesterday I walked down to St Lukes ,a concert hall now ,and across the ancient burial grounds nearby.Bunhill fields. Full of ancient memorials. It does make you pause and think.
