  1. Edit - I'm dumb.. Searching to leave EDW at 0600.. 0655 - 17 mins, direct 0730 - 16 mins, direct 0802 - 39 mins, change at Peckham Rye 0830 - 17 mins, direct 0841 - 49 mins, change at Tulse Hill & Elephant. Appalling.
  2. Wrong section - Ignore...
  3. Wasn't Curry's replaced by Inside72? Or am I going insane?
  4. Er, so what exactly went wrong?
  5. "We all wish the magic of Christmas could start earlier" No, Disneyland Paris, we don't. It's fecking October. Advertising agencies - a pox on all their houses.
  6. This, to me, epitomises the "Left". http://mobile.abc.net.au/news/2015-05-10/riots-erupt-in-london-against-re-election-of-david-cameron/6458098
  7. Blimey, the Professionally Offended are out in force on this one... Give the poor girl a break.
  8. But we all get eaten eventually, surely? Circle of life, and all that. This has put me in a mood for a good steak, now...
  9. With RPC here... I wear a hi-viz, lights, take the prime location on the road etc, but no helmet. My take on what he is trying to say is he wants the normalisation of cycling, therefore protection of the cyclist - and thus, everyone - becomes second nature to everyone using the roads. Idiots and morons will always be around, but that is across the board wether cyclist, xxx driver or pedestrian. (I meant whether, not a castrated goat.)
  10. Having thought more clearly - ban cars. Everybody else is obviously much, much less important than my cherub.
  11. NO. NO. NO. I DEMAND a crossing in front of my house. Then another one in the road where we cross to get to the nursery. I have the right to save my childrens little legs from walking further than they have to.
  12. Don't forget the herd had two good cullings in 1914-18 and 39-45, as well.
  13. This is a very nice and considerate post - thanks, OP. Ramadan Mubarak!
  14. Exactly the same thing happened on Landcroft Road when that was resurfaced. I walked out to find my car in a lifter at the time. Shoutly loudly and showed them the incorrect signs in front of them. To be honest, Mr Barber, your very carefullly worded "I'll ask council officials what they think has gone wrong and how they'll ensure it doesn't go wrong again." means absolutely fuck all to the people that pay the council wages under threat of gaol or bankruptcy. It shows the lack of accountability that the Council have. How hard can it be to issue correct notices to the people who pay? How hard can it be to ensure contractors work under defined rules? Is Southwark Council really run by a bunch of incompetent idiots that don't realise the effects of their actions? Or are they just far too used to "The Magic Money Tree" that just pays and pays and pays?
  15. Very enjoyable. Prince Harry had an excellent game.
  16. Will Spain want him now, though? The next time he does it - and I personally think he will - would result in a lengthy, lengthy ban. A season, perhaps. As an aside, isn't the spray a damn fine idea.
  17. So, yes, I am guessing that you do pay as much tax as you lawfully must do, and no more.
  18. Sorry, no. Tax Evasion is what it says on the tin, and is breaking the law as written today. There is no such thing as "tax avoidance within the law". Thats a non sequitur. The law as written today allows free movement of capital as mentioned. If it wrong in most peoples eyes as you state, then the criticm should be directed toward the people who make the laws, not the people who act upon those laws. I assume you pay as much tax as you lawfully must do, and no more? Or do you pay whatever spare cash you have left each year to the taxman as a free bonus? After all, thats ethical. Think of the teachersandnurses...
  19. You are a victim. As a player he bears the responsibility of his own actions and the consequences of such - to himself, his country AND the people who train him, pay his wages and who alledgely shipped him off to an analyst the last time he snacked on someone. Him and him alone. FIFA were completely right on this.
  20. "Article I-4 of the Constitution guarantees the free movement of persons, goods, services and capital within the Union (the famous "four freedoms") and strictly prohibits any discrimination on grounds of nationality. http://europa.eu/scadplus/constitution/objectives_en.htm Yup, pretty well hidden "loophole" there.
  21. My point is that is should not even be referred to as tax avoidance. Amazon et al are not avoiding anything. They are using the laws enshrined in the EU Founding Principals. If you think those laws are unethical, then blame the source. The bleatings of Margaret Hodge and the loss-making Guardian seem to gloss over those facts, though...
  22. By tax avoidance I assume you mean the completely legal free movement of capital between EU member countries as one of the four founding principles, yes?
  23. The England team visited an orphanage in Rio today. "It's heartbreaking to see their sad little faces with no hope," said Jose, age 6.
  24. And as for those uncouth scruffy people that you see around eating and drinking - I bet they are not Eastern European or Polish as well. This is East Dulwich for heavens sake?!
