MadWorld74

I have met Mr/Mrs/Miss Admin so I know that they probably are. Must be the Magners.

Holy cr*p lounged twice in a day!!!!!! I will go and sit in a dark corner and read rule book again.

I like Snorky's idea that they're scum. Yes, the word is a little harsh by jove he means it! what happened to you then Snorks? did they snoop around your gaff, critize your lava lamp and then tell you your place was worth a fiver? must have been bad...

Mr Admin must be super human to do his own work AND have time to read through all our mortal tittle tattle...

oh dear...never been lounged before.....

We have a shed you can live in Mockney....

Jesus Mr Madworld would be in heaven!!!! if The Boss turned up in ED to do a spot. About 8 years ago he had a beer with The Boss in a NYC bar (pure flook), and he's still talking about it now!!! WE NEED MUSIC. Maybe FOPP can open a branch with a live music spot at the back and a cafe/bar like the one in town. Ooohhh that would be goooood.....(tu)

David_carnell you need to hook up with Mr Madworld 74 as he was wanting to open up a vinyl store in ED but has no chance now the bigger names are moving in.

I like how the builders and 'tradesmen' still stand at the front of 'their' bar and get rowdy of an early evening! and I've overheard some cracking rowdy conversations there. As soon as the pino noir lot come in (I could class myslef as one of them) you've got the pint swillers at the bar and the wine drinkers huddled in the back round the corner.It feels like it hasn't made the transformation from one to the other, ot indeed, it's confused as to which way to go. I may pop in on the way home for a crafty glass of red.

I'm actually of the same opinion. I've eaten there alot and felt sorry for the very very young schoolgirl waitresses they have in there. Also when I've been outside I've been worried that the kids (and there are ALOT of them!!) have been getting into trouble with the layout. Falling off the grassy banks and smacking their heads on the side of the picnic tables. Last time I was in there, a bloke on the next table had his wallet nicked. Not good.

**Fill it wall to wall with ready-meals, milk and posh looking wine and it can't fail** Mark I wish the co-op would take this advice, they never have anything on their shelves!!

you tell them you already support several charities and they have to leave you alone. I used to be a 'charity mugger' along time ago....that's what we were told.

lots of other people have expressed their dislike for Starbucks, Mockney Piers, so you make damn sure you make a point of calling them 'whingy' too! And if I want to winge about them I will! thanks for the link...what fun.

Two Starbucks in such close proximity is not nice. And I don't care how many of you like their latte mocca chino frothy do dah's! One anywhere is one too many.

A what Mockney piers??????

It looks like somewhere Starf*cks would snap up. The weekend influx of out-of-towners would step out from the train station, be presented with the eye full of said Starf*cks and think "ooohh, this place must be up and coming..." and then their gaze would land on the 350k box flats upstairs where they would nearly wet themsleves in excitement!!.....

I have been told by someone in the know, it's going to be a Starbucks. I kid you not.

I went home to tell Mr Madworld 74 about this as he's the type (soft and believing) to let this scamstress in! No way jose is she setting foot over my threshold. "Clear orf or I'll call the ol' bill" will be my chant. I still have nightmares about the person in the crash helmet let alone this one!

that is really scarey. What do you think she'll do if she's let in!? I shudder to think.

yeah it's pretty much; from the literature and word of mouth, a one-man-band. And therefore personal and tailored.

Yes I have and I believe Push are very well thought of. I was on this site about local physio/sports massage services a while ago, and Kevin at Push Studios was recommended to me. I've met him and he's a fine chap.

the shorter sturdier bag was my fav. Not keen on carry heavey bags on my shoulders. Not good for one's back. Was it number 3?

After the heavy rain we have a while back, several of my plants have given up the ghost and died? I asked the guy in the garden centre what to do and he looked at me as if I was mad to suggest that they had had TOO MUCH rain!!?? can you revieve a washed out garden?

sorry Shaggy but your tone sounded a bit 'off' on your previous thread. Ciao

I like the parade of shops as they are. Sorry to rant on about the hold up, but it's a bad thing. Anyway enjoy the coffee shop! I will pop my head round if they do a decent espresso. (Being half Italian, it better be good!)
