Sod xmas trees- monocultures are so environmentally bad!

Sod Xmas trees-monocultures are so environmentally bad!

I noticed that when I went outside- it was like Guy Fawkes night. So much for the Clean Air Act!

If we're allowed music only then the Dam Buster's march for me

I support the British Legion throughout the year and don't wear a poppy. The lives of veterans are made more comfortable. War is an anachronism in 21st Century Western Democracies really but around the world there are still too many people who are influenced by warmongers so we intervene for the sake of powerless civilians.

Jerusalem is the obvious choice if the Scots end up going it alone because it actually has 'England' in it. But the 'green and pleasant land' bit is not so apt these days (especially if they do the HS2)

No one speaks ill of the dead-but no-one spoke ill of him when he was alive despite his pre-prison life. I know South Africans and murder, violence and sex crimes are too commonplace in the country.

This is bad news. Imho Ripper street was on a par with Sherlock Holmes with Jeremy Brett. They need to stop making over-acted episodes of Dr Who.

In January East Dulwich was 9th in this list http://news.sky.com/story/1042613/revealed-the-top-20-burglary-black-spots. Brighton had a 45% increase in burglaries in one year. It's about time the govt introduced some real deterrent sentencing.

I would take it very personally. Haves vs have-nots. Drunk and incapable of rational thought vs sober and sensible

That's funny because every time I look at the ID of our vendors they are from Dagenham- in Essex!

Councils always do what is best for the benefit of the whole area, so I've been led to believe. So realising the value of these properties is the only democratic choice they have.

Someone I know was involved in years of accepting backhanders from companies eager to be allocated public sector work (he worked in the public sector). The fraud went to the top. When it came to light everyone likely to be involved in allocating contracts was suspended. Several of those involved had nervous breakdowns and did not properly recover even though they were reinstated. As it was public sector it was tax-payer's money and I for one could not look him in the eye when I found out because he made no secret of where his extra holiday money, improvements to his house etc. had come from.

Don't forget leptospirosis from rat's urine!

Sandra Bullock in Demolition Man gets into her car and starts singing an ad like it was a regular song- that was enough for me to mute every ad that has ever be shown since.

Mendelssohn for me but that piece is 'Hear My Prayer' (probably apt for a politician) but which one?

All the Young Dudes- Mott the Hoople

JL you reminded me of this-my sister took up candle making in the early '70s and was making candles using the dipping method where you dip the wicks in a bucket of melted wax and stearin repeatedly until the candles are the thickness you want. In between dips she had them tied to a grid, hanging down, to dry. They were pink. She was very proud of them (and she was 17 and very innocent) and took them into the front room where our mum, a neighbour and our elderly aunt were drinking tea. The uproar was such that I ran to see what was going on. The old women were crying with laughter and my sister was bewildered and kept saying 'What?'. My other sister (older and more worldly) came in and told her that they looked like willies- my sister was mortified and gave up candle- making forever- just as well because it stank the house out!

Let's see- what she did- put licences on pubs that had music, took restrictions off gambling. Whoever it is they can't be any worse imho

The US sociologist Charles Murray said about 40 years ago that the UK was breeding an underclass because of our benefits system encouraging the feckless; and that the underclass would have 3x as many children as the educated classes- it's difficult to tell living in Dulwich.

Given that alcohol has the effect of removing self-control at certain dosages and this person would have been encouraged to drink more than he was used to given the circumstances, then since all he did was crap on the floor and he didn't put anyone in hospital (unlike the imbecile that put my son in hospital for no reason)then these things will happen- unless of course alcohol is banned!

They have been too busy putting up new decos in Lordship Lane!
