Pickwick Paupers

First forumista to say something positive and praiseworthy to me. I look forward to the next 10K. Keef.

With Boris' largesse to charity he will no doubt get a knighthood pretty soon.

I have no idea who that character is?

Must be the drugs kicking in.

Not quite accurate Anna, Daizie positively and robustly defended TonyLS. on the queue jumping thread.

I thought you spent more time on the west dulwich forum, so what happened, got bored?

One of the lads I employed dropped in to the shop and I said "Elvis is dead Joe" he looked back nonchalantly and said "He's been dead for years Steve aint 'e". I was rather shocked by his dimissal but Marc Bolan was his hero, he was 10 or so years younger than I. When Diana bought it I was on the same road as Mike Palaeologus the M40 and it was around 9am and there was nothing playing on any of the radio channels as a mark of respect I presume. I guess it was Diana's death that affected me most, not because I am a royalist I'm not, but she was in the kitchen and/or lounge (we were a 2 tv family) every day because she was on the news all the time. When JFK got his I was watching the tv at my youngest sisters place and the announcement was made interrupting the programme, and my sister and brother in law were stunned and turned their tv off, it was that important. Then Johnson assumed his place and scaled up the war in Vietnam. When John Lennon got it I felt a great loss because of his talent and him being nearer to my age, he was just re-emerging back into society after being at home for four years baking bread. We all felt expectant about what new music he was going to produce and then bang, he was gone.

More heron fodder or perhaps kingfisher sustenance.

If I could write like my hero's Charles Dickens, George Bernard Shaw, JB Priestley, and many more. I would be delighted to work for free just for their ability of expression and character depiction. I don't think it would be long before you had wealth thrust upon you, whilst harbouring their talent.

Picture, 1000 words, etc. I like Charlies visual aids.

You are too sensitive Sean, it's a great day out! Although I'm not Irish my buddies are Irish and Scots and I have always felt a warmth towards the Irish ever since I first went there in the 70's. They are very friendly, hospitable, and good craic.

Shaila Shah wrote:- how do you know they are Indian? Coyuld they be Pakistani? Bangladeshi? Sri Lankan? My guess is they could be any of those, the point being made was they are not of African or European origin. The only way to know is by questioning them and varifying their statements, if the neighbourhood watch get that lucky.

Is he working? Or ..............................................no surely not, has he been banned? Perhaps watching The Street?

Why can't the newly arrived homeless be put into government camps on MoD land, as they have the acreage, and not take up the precious housing stock which would remove any possibility of queue jumping?

A BIG THANK YOU To all the forumista's who robustly defended me against the recent tirade of a certain clique of EDF users.

I fear you may be the one who is the most guilty of such behaviour, I have requested you to point out in my 10 lines of posting in the 'queue jumping thread' which is the offensive part and you have not responded. All I can do is ask! Your constant mud slinging is infantile and unjustified, and as Marmora Man said, debate is preferable to censorship, as you ran for MP for the 'Greens' most people I'm sure would expect nothing less of such a political animal.

Ask where your crate of Speckled Hen is, which you need to swill down after the gallon of Guinnes, kids seem to get everything while you remain but a shadow of the man you once were.

Is ?150 any good?

LegalEagle-ish wrote:- I hate saying anything negative about anyone............... From the ten lines that I wrote in the housing immigrant queue jumpers thread, I would like you to point out where I have shown to be a 'racist bigoted arsehole' as you describe. How your father and grandfather have helped give me a leg up as you say, does not ring true, I have never had a hand out from any source and have been involved in business since 1970 before that I had a full employment record. Your intolerance suggests you may be the most bigoted racist (Steve and Tony are prime examples of why most of my friends are non-white - or not British.) You also state (I work as an aylum and immigration lawyer and I know what they are spouting is total shit) I was commenting on a news item from radio 4 so I suppose we were spouting the same ......err stuff. You state you have your own council property, I would suspect I have contributed as much or more than you or your relatives to the housing stock, paying taxes throughout my working life and being employed in the building industry on council funded building sites.
