Voyageur

Wah-hey - Crystal Palace is ahead of ED for ONCE! We have had a new Italian Ice-cream and Galette shop and a new Frozen Yoghurt shop open in the last few weeks! :D

Am loving it. It is unusually and delightfully off the wall and I find myself curiously attracted to Van Zandt, who ain't exactly a pin-up boy as you can see below :-o Loved the backwards facing ski-jump as a punishment too - genius! http://soulishexhortations.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/lilyhammer-steven-van-zandt.jpg

Like I said, I find the lemming-like consumerism mania interesting to observe, and occasionally to comment on :)

Says Bob who gives a sh*t about posting to say that he doesn't give a shit :D I dunno... I just find the whole consumerism trap thing kind of interesting to observe. Like women who go out and spend an entire wage packet on the new 'IT' bag or summat.

Good article actually - and the comments give food for thought.

Why so upset? It was probably a clumsy way of saying that following the paralympics disability was getting more positive press than ever before. A good thing. Nothing to see here.'

If you wear red shoes ALWAYS wear knickers to confuse the buggers!

Wooh.... that's a new thread altogether!

This is such an appalling thread - again I am very surprised that admin has let it remain up.

Tend to agree with Huge - estate agent trying to drum up business in a clumsily transparent way..

Yes of course - but I thought we were talking ED? As for Wagga - never eaten there, but after all these posts I think I might give it a go!

The point is that the > high street retailers are dying... CP has mainly independent retailers and very few chains. Last time I passed through LL the same seemed to be the case? Mind you - it was a few years ago.

Christ on a bike..... very surprised this site allows such hysterical, unsubstantiated allegations against a business to remain on a public forum :(

Jesus wr, you're absolutely obsessed...

Running sucks - for me anyway. It does nowt for your knee joints and if you are well endowed it looks ungainly and feels darned uncomfortable. I walk briskly for 3 miles a day to keep fit - suits me down to the ground :D

Hi Mike Pala - welcome to edf. See you have been privy to the usual smarta**e comments this forum suffers from - don't let it bug you, enjoy the site :)
