  2. "Oh, look, this thread's all about me"
  3. Do you buy stolen goods, cos that's what you can afford? That's economics too.
  4. No, it's people being arses. In essence, most people want a better world, filled with love, understanding, generosity, fairness and butterflies - apart from when it comes to themselves making a few quid, or saving a few quid. As in 'I think there should be controls on immigration to stop British workers being undercut IT'S A DISGRACE! but hey I just accepted the lowest quote for my home renovations and all the workers seem to be foreigners, oh well"
  5. 'Big Beautiful Woman', I think. Right, Jah?
  6. Noise transfer between your place and next door would be my main concern - you'd lose that existing sound-reducing barrier between you and them. If they've done (or did) the same it's possible you'll be hearing a lot from them - and vice versa. I quite like the way the open stairs into an open plan front room looks but I wouldn't be so keen hearing them fart as they watch telly. If I was doing it I'd lose some inches on the party wall to add some decent soundproofing. An extra expense there again though.
  7. Is it the potential return of Midland Bank? Sure a step in the right direction (i.e. backwards) I hope they re-introduce the yellow plastic owl piggybank and important looking ringbinder with every account - mine are looking a bit tatty now.
  8. Yes they are Yes they are Yes they are Yes they are Yes they are Yes they are Yes they are Yes they are
  9. I'd love to get banned. Just for a few months - bit busy at the moment, could do without the distraction. How's it done? Love to get some tips from those who've managed it.
  10. It's just two bits of bread with a lump of beef in the middle, Lou. They're all the same. (like pizza)
  11. Don't think I've ever given the place more than a moment's thought. It's not like the high street is dying on its ass out there. There's room for occasional quirks (cars and hi-fis etc) without getting knickers knotted. Where it can turn annoying is where cash-poor owners are sitting on a valuable property - and then their inability to maintain it leaves neighbours having to carry the can when those maintenance issues spread beyond the boundaries. Saying you've 'got no money' to someone who's in hock with a mortgage for the rest of their life can be a bit galling when you're clearly sitting on a gazillion quid.
  12. It's up there with Dave Cameron's "I met a man.." schtick
  13. Sure, sure.. 'course it was (*strokes chin*)

  15. I love a made-up anecdote
  16. MS and Iceland are two ends of the same shitty shick; both play to the worst instincts of their different demographic. I'd rather have a Lidl.
  17. guys, GUYS.. THE FOX has left the building. An' he was lookin' gooooooood.
  18. Sorry, Alan. Foxy's not reading this thread any more, no way Jos? (*waves to 'the fox'*)

  20. For the sake of convenience and in a vain hope of avoiding going over old ground, I have copied a link to the other 64 pages of M&S related hoo-hah (and corresponding 170k+ views) below. Please read all 64 carefully before deciding if there is really anyfuckinthing possible more to say on the subject. http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,882800,page=1

  22. Same time, same place tonight, Lou? I'll bring the Merrydown.
  23. "You have no Idea how brilliant ED used to be. Unless you were there" oh dear "You have no Idea how brilliant being younger used to be. Unless you were there" There you go - fixed that for you. Most people have all sorts of 'brilliant times' when they're younger*. Then the places change, or they do, or usually both. The trick - now listen carefully - is to keep moving; find new things which are different but just as good - and *not* spend the next twenty years 'in those same places', crying into your permanently half empty pint about how much better things were - and thus bringing everyone else down in the process. *(you've forgotten than when you're young you can have a brilliant time in a derelict parking lot with a bottle of cider)
  24. Were there some rapes as well? They were brilliant too weren't they? The police just laughed them off and it was all forgotten come morning. At least by one party anyway.
