I never thought of it like that. More like, you Gran decided that she wanted to run a blackberry farm, but knew its would take 3 years for the plants to mature, so she decided to get up early & take all the free blackberries when they came available and sold them via the punnet, meaning that there wwre no blackberries left for people who could not afford to buy them from the market. After 3 years, she abandoned the free blackberries plan to sell her own reared ones, knowing fine well that her rapacious collecting of wild blackberries had decimated the stock and reduced them to produce very few decent berries any longer.these are the fruits that the poor were able to harvest.

As many arrivals in ED now seem see an OK primary schol to be a free stopgap until they can get their offspring into one of the private schools in the area - cheaper than a prep / pre-prep - hence the trampling on each other to get the best primary school for their kids As the demographics change and more privately educated parents decamp in ED, then I am seeing a change in attitudes and approach. Im sure that a bunch of places always seem to come up at Dulwich primary after a couple of years, when parents begin to get their kids into the the private schools - a rather unappealling mercenary tactic to me personally, but what do I know .
  6. Maybe Unless you knew the schools in the area, then ( for me anyway ) reading some of the posts would scare the buggery out of me - some seem to be portrayed as a Compton SOuth Central LA Crips and BLoods training academies, whilst others seem to be heralded as feeder schools for Oxbridge and a fast track into the Diplomatic service and undreamed of riches. of course, nother are true, but the Goodrich/Heber fetishment does seem to a bit disproportional to their actual positon in the real world - they are OK schools, but not as good as some people seem to think.
  7. More coppers, more heavily tooled up and harsher custodial sentences makes no real difference to the level of crime on the streets or more importantly, the fear of crime.Coppers are just the enforcers, the muscle for the politicians

I try to work my subervisve magic wherever I can, but this is a genuine post from me.

Is this a commerical plug masquerading as a post ?
  11. Family room.Mmmmm Amongst the buggys for sale and various breastfeeding tips, is the slighty creepy obsessivness of posts on Schooling, ranking & fighting for places, seem a little disturbing ? Does this happen on all sites or is it just ED with this penchant for early years educational fetishment ?

  14. shite on street vs shite in your skip I know which one I would prefer - think of it as a service to the communtity by the back door If you are so bothered, then get it delivered and taken away same day - cheaper too.maybe Maybe rethink that SO important new kitchen with designer cubby holes - do you really need it ? best get a few more years out of the old one and avoud consigning it to landfill if you are really that bothered PS If the tab behind the bar is your employers , then do you really care if someone has a sly pint or two on it ?

  16. The fines, as I have said before, are not enforceable & nor should they be BUt this isnt about fines - its about consideration & the rest of the community I do however agree that vermin who use up disabled & Family spaces should not be allowed to carry on such anti sovial behaviour - or at least be made to think about it. there are more effective ways of ensuring that an arrogant car user remembers his trip to Sainsbos.

Not long for this mortal coil, Thatcher aplogist, fascist, shtehawk and Pit village violator , Sir John Hall sadly used this kind of bluster as often as possible - much to the embarrasment of the B&W clad masses. The crowd levels argument is not true with Newcastle, despite it being used ata every possible occasion by the soft southern critics- Loiuse whatsghername in the handwringing Guardian related this piece of bollocks at every opportunity - like the protocl so the elders of Zion, it now seems to be accepted as fact by those who really dont have a clue. SJH made a neat little ?55M to stash in his GIbraltar bolt hole when he sold the club- not to mention the tens of milliosn he & his vile rapacious crew took in salary, dividends & incestous business contracts that made NUFC such a money spinner for them. Dont get on the fans backs, but direct your abuse at those who created this malleable bubble and robbed an economic backwater of its hope and stole their dreams

No idea if it's true. Salvador Dali ditto - ' cept he used to do a doodle on the back as well - he used to have huge piss sessions in resturants with a band of flunkeys and always paid by cheque = no-one ever cashed them surprisingly What would Salo do nowadays with the demise of the cheque? having Dalis Amex slip isnt as romantic or collectable
  19. oh I am feeling terrible, but thought it was a heavy cold - have just returned from sunnier climes how much time off sick is swine flu worth ?
  20. I repeatedly kicked and ground my knees into the back of greasy car salesman & convicted clocker, Quentin Wilsons easy jet seat all the way to inverness. Imagine his surprise when I found myself behind him in the car rental desk queue sneering as he pathetically tried to get a celeb discount on his Volvo weekend rental wanker
  21. bettet to use someone elses skip than dump the shite on a stret corner under cover of darkness its like owning a car in London - you accept minor bumps & grazes on your wheels as part of the package - ditto smeone using your skip - I have both dumped stuff in other people skips and had my own populated by other people shite - swings and roundabouts

It was a very long flight. came back from Cambodia via S'pore last week also. Pore is a dreadful place. It was me who sat behind you, kicking the back of your seat and crying BTW
  23. nuke is a scary thought, but as an interim, what else is there ? ( interim = but still have to dump the shit they produce, somewhere tho )
  24. imagine for one moment you are a broadband supplier with a urge to go bankrupt enthusisastcally monitoring your customers d/l detials without waiting for a court order is probabaly the best way to make that leap into bankrupcy as qickly as possible
