Wood / trees innit You know the way in 1984, it turns out that there isnt really a war, but its a smokescreen to keep everyone toeing the line and accepting vile treatment ? This isnt too far displaced from that scenario Imagine a world where the need to travel back & forth as quickly as possible was pretty much removed- we do it like this at the minute as we have to fit Hols & travel in with work. Most people at Hrow are on business, jeting off all over the world to play their role in the gigantic machine of capital. If we removed Capital from the equation, then most speedy air travel would not be required - if we did not have mind numbingly grim jobs to hurry back to, then we would take a nice slow train & actually enjoy the journey.Aircraft would be used sparingly - why put yourself through the horror of a flight, when a ship can get you there in comfort & takes a week -with no work, its not like you are in any hurry is it ? Its not the plane or the airport that is the problem, its the system we choose to live in that is the problem. You can bealt about minutae like heathrow or ponder the staggeringly huge problem of global warming per se, but until we see what is at the root of all this, then we cannot resolve anything - everytime you upgrade your phone, treat yourself to a fat telly or buy the latest facelift version of your car, you are feeding capitalism & are as responsible as the bloke that lifts the first sod at the new runway

Has the ED housing market reached the bottom yet ( II )
snorky replied to snorky's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Buy when the economics makes sense and you can afford it as a direct competitor to renting and DONT rely on appreciation in value - view any unrealised gain or loss as just that - Unrealised - assume that you will be there for the duration.a pad with negative equity is only a problem if you want to move on/ up or out of the system altogether. I know one lot who are moving out of London ( blah blah schools, quality of life, all the usual middle class bollocks ) but are "unable to sell their house" - no really, they CANNOT sell it at all ...our hearts bleed...oh really - this of course is a pile pile of shite, of course they could sell it, but what they think it is worth bears no relation to the reality of what people are prepared to pay. -

Parakeets- lots of them in wild SE London now - not tropical birds either- they live in foothills of Himalayas IIRC, so cold isnt a problem

I cant see how it was ever going to make money- no-one I knew was prepared to buy the stuff they had in stock. go to the library -

of course its not worth it - its pre planned obselesence- another way to keep the wheels of capital turning , another gimmick to sell more units, to fetish the commodity, to feed on peoples insecurities about status & worth. Do you want to see Ian Beales balsd patch or Wayne Rooney scowling & spittng in SloMo ? Do you need a new Telly ? Most likey not. No one NEEDS a new telly really. Do you WANT an new telly ? if you are the average man on the Denmark Hill omnibus, then probabaly Dont be a victim, soend the money on going out and meeting people, travelling & adventure.Your HD telly will be dumped on a street corner in a few years time anyway, when you feel you have to get a new one after the advertising & marketing parasites have worked their wretched sleight of hand once more no no no no no dont do it

If you have any taste in Beer, then I would advise getting yourself down ( up ) to Hoopers and sample their german & Belgian beer menu card ( apologies to Hoopers for my Kolsch fuelled perfomance a couple of weeks ago btw )

Call in sick & you can get a couple of slef Cert days, turn up and show people how bad you really are, and you can make a long weekend of it and jet off to sunny climes. Together, brothers & sisters, we can destroy Capitalism - start today - pull a sickie

the unholy trinity of shit filled reading slop: Parsons Pearson Proulx I have to admit that Proulx can write, its just shes forgotten that a plot would help a bit On the Parsons theme, I have a soft spot for Burchill - a vitriol pissing hag of dubious politics, but she does rant very well Pearson should be drowned in a bucket of her own urine, though I " dont know now she does it" Go to the Mind shop and see whats racking up - what is Todays equiavelent of the Herriot & Maclean donations of yesteryear ? Beckham Biographies, Public school Potter, anything with txt language as its USP ( LOLS GR8 etc ), Bloody Dan Brown, Crap with comic sans on its cover ,Pointless drivel by Paul Cohelo Theres too much to list innit

The Barclays are arseholes granted, but the background fuedalism of Sark lives on under the new banner of democracy. the Channel islanders are still forelock tugging Nazis who never got what was coming to them - though Churchill- the Old bastard - did decide not to invade the channel island early on as he was displeased with their performance during the war- letting the coppers marshall POW slave workers on their land isnt something they like to bring up these days - still, they eke out a living nowadays by laundering money & helping the rich avoid paying their way a thoughly disagreeable set of island all round string them up.Bush should have included them in the axis of evil - or maybe its sub genre, axis of parasitic wankers

You had better look into it though to be sure -
theres a few within an easy walk of Snorky hall I have found Im torn with the BNP- they are scum, but leaking this is a bit off, even if it was their own infighting that did it better to have them in public as a party where they can be taken to task on their odious views, than skulking around in anon. little cadres, plotting mischief Theres alot of BNP sympathy amongst the masses, much more than this pitifully small membership list of commmitted nutters.

I scoured LL , given that a famous -ish Urban artist now resides here - but found only mounds of cig butts and vomit - well done black cherry once more, another valuable contribution to the area - ED bar of the year anyone ?

PS Anyone interested in a workbook of design sketches from a world famous sculptor & artist ? I will regret this comement later, when I find that the once rich pickings have been rifled by the arriviste ED media glitterati -

snorky replied to snorky's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
PS - anyone noticed how empty foxytons is at the minute - the fat sky news screen vomiting regurgitated tales of house woe behind the front desk may not have been the best idea - the operations are resembles an estate agent version of a Detriot Suburb - i.e lots and lots of space that no one seems to occupy - rather apt given Foxys recent venture into the US market
