  1. We may hope they get caught but when they do- what happens? And do you think they care if they get caught- if they did they would not be doing it! These 'people' have no morals they want something- they take it and walk free most of the time.
  2. I see Lenny Henry is getting on the racism band wagon now.
  3. A low flying jumbo jet was seen flying over the Maldives. Also there is speculation that by flying low it can avoid radar and that it could have been taken to Pakistan
  4. They are always going through the big bins at Sainsbury's- a man had the back of the small electrical items recycling bin open
  5. This evening I sat in an hour long queue on the M1 after a pile-up...not a cyclist to be seen!
  6. There is no reason for parent and child spaces to be near the entrance- most people at that time of life are fit and healthy. When I had mine it was baby under the arm whilst folding the buggy to get on the bus and keeping hold of the toddler. And coming back there was the shopping to deal with as well. I know that parents these days are older but they do not need to be on a par with disabled people and given spaces near the entrance -stick them at the back- the walk will do you good!
  7. We don't waste anything- Nigel Slater sees to that!
  8. It never ceases to amaze me that we are continually being nagged at to save the planet,not using plastic bags, conserve fuel, use a bike etc. when the willy-nilly use of aeroplanes is just undoing any efforts that people make to address the unsustainable fuel problem. The whole 'green' movement is probably a conspiracy by the aviation industry to preserve their little niche in the world. Expecting people to suffer the uncontrolled increase in air traffic is totally unreasonable- we could make a start by refusing to purchase, for example, coriander from Kenya and fruit from South america- just think of their carbon footprints. And expecting people to take anti-anxiety medication is also unreasonable- but I believe that GPs have been instructed to dish out these pills because there is a 3 month waiting list for CBT and we all have to be kept in work whatever the cost to our own well-being.
  9. 2 massive bumble bees this pm
  10. Early Saturday morning- 1.30 am-there were 2 cars racing side by side down Barry Road- too fast to get number plates. Another car came up the other way very soon after- must have been a near miss.
  11. People in other parts of the country don't care- you are a Londoner. In London people only care if you are from North or South of the river.
  12. In the '70s in the East End of London if you were a young white male with long hair and carried a guitar or was with someone who fits the description- you were guaranteed to be stopped and searched (my guitar was actually confiscated for a few days as well) by the police any time of the day or night on a regular basis. Also, the local cafes were regularly raided and everyone had to turn out their pockets on the tables (some of the contents-yuk). Crime prevention at its finest.
  13. Fentiman's Traditional Ginger Beer- it's the only carbonated drink I have ever actually enjoyed
  14. I always signal when turning although several drivers I have been with don't- one said 'there is no-one around' but obviously there might be! I nearly mowed down 2 cyclists within 10 minutes of each other in back streets of Stockwell- both in dark clothing with no lights weaving in and out of cars, and they were both black. One of them had the cheek to bang on my car!
  15. General ED issues dos not mean Erectile Dysfunction issues
  16. And all this right on top of the stats this week about the number of people who do not turn up and don't bother to cancel their appointments
  17. Really crap managers alienate everyone. Mine came out with something today in front of me and a colleague and we just looked at each other in disbelief- hopefully he saw and understood the look- probably didn't though which is why he is so crap in the first place.
  18. I'm surprised the Dulwich College Estate allowed it
  19. (Buses are great- it's taxis that clog up London- glorified chauffeuring imho.) Pancakes-cannot summon up the enthusiasm
  20. PokerTime please re-read my comment and leave my jugular alone
  21. Just read a report about the killing of the autistic man in Bournemouth. He was punched by a man who was walking with a friend who was cycling on the pavement and the autistic man told the cyclist off for being on the pavement and then the friend punched him and he hit his head and died. The killer got 4 years but it is going to be reviewed. The killer's mother had the 'oh well it was an accident' attitude. We need to adopt the Australians' one punch law
  22. It's Syed Kamell I think- Conservative MEP for London
  23. You can get a ?3 piece of shoulder for pulled pork with peppers on in Sainsbury's. Does 2 people a treat- I do feel guilty eating meat though. At festivals there is a stall with pulled pork and delicious stuffing in a large bap- delicious. The stupid muffins and fancy stupid cakes have passed me by.
  24. They have always had a bad record for collecting rents- also when some tenants are directed by a court to pay it back it is usually at some nominal level- like ?2 a week. There are probably some people who deliberately do not pay their rent especially if they have children and think they will not be evicted. Anyway, the lefties think it's ok for the rest of us to pick up the tab since we are all so well off and lucky etc.
