3pm on the 19th August against Corinthian Casu... oh tonight?? People usually drift in between 8 and 9 ish. I'm targetting 8:45 or so.... you gonna?

well.. what was left of the mauve

I don't think it was that MadWorld - it's just there are plenty of knife threads to update with this one

It is at this time that I like to have a look at a posters initial postings and compare tone to their current incarnation. He was such a polite boy in the beginning, this one Calls for a celebratory drink I'd say :)-D Shall we say The Herne at about 9?

Lines up alongside Jeremy and Keef on this one (I'll be happy to see the yellow go mind you)

Tillie, you are SHAMELESS.... giving it the Marilyn-Monroe-ditsy-blonde thing when you are as far away from ditsy as [sniiiip - legal Ed.] is close to it

memories eh....? I don't think it was a one-sided argument. James gives as good as he gets and if he was fighting a lone-battle... well, he picked it! As I said I've had agressive discussions with James before - I hardly think colour comes in to it. And I've not seen anyone post sometthing along the lines of "you're not black you don't know what it's like", whereas James has posted such a comment from a gay perspective - which I don't think is either proper or helpful. Of the black forumites/non-forumites I've met, I've been able to have some veery "healthy" discussions and not once had my colour thrown at me.

Hang on a sec...... Reuben leaving Plough....... Magdala closing for makeover......

Not knowing about computers and what-not is no crime Ringing the (probably expensive) helpline isn't really a crime either. But believing what they tell you??? Tillie Tillie Tillie......

Now is there any need for that, JUST as people were beginning to get along?

on;y at the start of the evening - by the end, my standards of dropped considerably - slice of lemon becomes optional * digs out black polo neck *

see you there JimmyD (I've PM'd you the complete list of what everyone drinks, just so you can get the first round in ;-) )

It's all just soooo much better than when they were nationalised isn't it?? Slight tease - I'm not advocating a return to nationalising these industries (rail on the other hand...) However -a touch more awareness of the limitations of free-markets, with suitable paramaters and we might have avoided the farce of the energy companies hijacking customers

Another vote for *Bob* from me.. I know he hasn't been around much of late, but those voice-overs for Come Dine With Me don't record themselves you know oh and, back at you ????

I've had my run-ins with James in the past only to find that, more often than not, it's been a misunderstanding of tone. I've not met the guy (to my knowledge anyway) but I suspect we would get on just fine (notwithstanding dogs... ooh is he ever precious about them! ;-) ) I can see why people have got upset with some of the posts, but I think the truest one is when he says that he does not want to "live in a country where people are treated differently, have different life-chances or suffer harrassment because of their sex, age, sexual orientation or the colour of their skin. " I think the thread started after Muffintop's post re: the 2 commuters comments and James felt that the general levels of support shown wouldn't have been as forthcoming had he post about the latest heckle he received. I would disagree with that - I reckon this place, being full of wooly minded lefties (allegedly - I reckon the balance is much wider than that) would have been quick to rally and offer cups of tea. But by starting this thread, inviting comparisons re: racism etc... is it necessary? It feels a bit like a meeting in Tooting circa 1979 ( ok, I was 11 and living in a different country in 1979 but hey! I read my NME)

oooh I forgot about that - cheers Stawbs. Really, this evening pays for itself ;-) Look forward to speaking to Jaws properly as well

noooooooo!!! Reuben - sorry to hear this. It's been really obvious the work and effort you have put in to the Plough and much appreciated. Are you staying local or moving out of London? Whichever - all the best!!

I cried off of something last Friday (and Carnell would probably argue I did the same again last night) so I do know how you feel TT. Feet up, hot blanket and some DVD therapy for you - (tu)

Tony, leaving aside Tower Hamlets for a while then, I probably agree with the general linking of materialism to unrest. There is a bigger discussion to be had about THAT subject mind you and I don't have the time at the moment but as we agree on something I thought I'd seize the opportunity! All that said, are we not East Dulwich specific anymore and isn't this thread Lounge-bound Mr Admin?

a bit early to be pulling out TT - second wind and all that?

I'm aiming for 8:30 - 9:00 this evening. I might not wear black for a change...

was that Spam or a PM from CWALD? ;-)

Oh and the other song - after going to teh Plough on Wednesday evening I was treated to 9 versions of a track by the Ukelele Club as they practiced it "Undead Nunhead" That really IS stuck in my head

now now Tony, I did reply, albeit with a question. Did I miss the answer (apologies if so) Banghladeshi community predominantly in Tower Hamlets. Tower Hamlets not know for it's safe streets
