The Ayattolah has been reading the Telegraph lately. I have it in the best authority that Waitrose are to open a branch in Tehran - but that it wont be what it seems...

Morning Crescent! I win.

They wont unlock the door. An SOS note isnt taken seriously when written in Crayon.

Doesnt one "fondle" with a Tazer?

I believe it was the Head Gardener what done it.

One week today Curry Lovers.

I watched the video recording carefully. He was being punched in the face. There were what, at least 4 coppers on the scene? Maybe more. Thats at least one large copper per limb. It just a bit of good old fashioned SPG style beating because they could and he "asked for it". Constable Savage

Its isnt the Police's job to punish. It is there job to educate, dissuade, prevent and to catch. The CPS, Judges and ultimately, we as Jury members, punish. Having got him on the floor, the additional tazering and the beating were revenge not a necessity. If he was guilty of GBH he is now a victim of GBH and on film, and will no doubt use that to full advantage. The Police are naturally conservative and authoritarian, thats their job. This can easily became oppressive and dictatorial if they are allowed to step outside the law themselves.

Hammers at the Molyneux. Exciting. My first ever sensible post to this thread.

Well. That was fun. The Wairose/M&S Food bi-annual debate is great. Whats next? What IS the best curry house in ED?

What Keef said :))

There is also the well thought of Sparks on North Cross Road - who have a good reputation for their meat and customer service; but they operate out of a trailer which is only their on market days. Somerfield and Iceland sell supey priced meat and Sainsburys isnt far away, so there is already price based competition. The charnel houses of Peckham High Street are a short bus journey away. William Rose dont compete on price, they compete on perceived quality and focus on that segment of the market who are happy to pay a given price for that perceived quality. Waitrose might nibble at the William Rose clientelle, but I suspect that only a second butchers shop would make significant in-roads. Perhaps if Sparks managed to get a shop unit on the Lane the William Rose grip on the up-scale carnivores of ED might be weakened?

Hmm - they may have been looking for a pair of used dentures that the previous ownner no longer had need of.

Oh sweet Jesus ...

Why on why on why has public flogging on Goose Green been done away with? Its madness and a sign of the times. Clearly the wrong 'uns and ne'er-do-wells that prey upon us need to be shown a lesson. Perhaps we should send them to Australia again? Most of Australia seems to live here anyway, drinking our beer and impressing our women with their digereedoos and wotnot. Its the fault of the foreigners. All of it.

Oh come on!! 20, clearly dodgy, people were seen in a running riot down Barry Road on Saturday. Some very dodgy people live down Barry Road. To be avoided in my opinion; an opinion which is only one of many I can tell you.

Good work press team. I suspect that the Pulitzer people will be on the phone on Monday.

Blimey Barry - its a Sunday and you are on FIRE!! Go and lie down or have a nice walk. You deserve it.

There is a significant amount of old wank written about this raw fish twattery. Hmm, the finest is served whilst it is still alive and twitching. Bugger off - its the foulest of habits. Open a packet of line caught salmon and concider yourself lucky.
