May everyone have a truly wonderful time.

Compliments of the season to all readers of and contributors to the forum from me too.

Don't worry, it'll soon be over and we can all get back to work. Just go with the flow! Be thankful it's Xmas, not Hallowe'en!

A very happy (and for those that partake) merry Christmas. Unlike Robin I wish it would last longer. You can't have too much goodwill. Or good Gin.

Broke my bloody arm haven't I. Fell over the dog. Just had fracture reduction and plate at Lewisham Hospital. Let me home last night. Just coming down off the morphine so it hurts. But A&E were lovely- apart from the hatchet-faced nurse Ratchet on triage, and the surgical staff yesterday were wonderful. The Nigerian (male) nurse in recovery was so lovely and gentle, any more time and morphine and I would have fallen in love with him. So here's one to all at Lewisham Hospital, and all you lot- have a good one!

[Robin Orton]

Bad luck, Sparticus. I'm always falling over the dog myself, but so far relatively unscathed. I know what you mean about Nigerian nurses. Hope you're able to enjoy Xmas.

To the ladies and gentlemen of Sydenham,
To this south London Vienna of the arts , with its DIY, coffee, newspapers, and its fruit and veg .

Its fry-ups, curries, brewing , cigarettes and Bounty bars , its sourdough and sausages , its drama and music , samosas and danish pastries , joggers and jerk chicken, haircuts and hardbacks . Its parks and recreation , its decay and renovation .

Its MOT's , and film devotees, passing showers and Angie's Flowers , heated debates , business rates , trains running late and missing slate .
A very good christmas

Rather kind.

And best wishes to them as well as everyone else in the Forum, in the knowledge that we don't have to worry too much as it'll soon be over and we can all get back to work -

It's been a long time coming and a hard slog to get there but I'm sure all affected residents are looking forward to a peaceful New Year now Zanzibar's license has been revoked. Well done to Matt McGrath and his team and all their hard work.
