  1. Don't think so - I suspect it's just a new term for 'armed' police.
  2. Ha! Good one. An abdication sounds a bit less painful after all!
  3. Labour is now being run by Tom and Jerry.
  4. Yes, fair enough that was a bit arsey. Apologies - a bit of a stressful day yesterday was. I haven't looked at EDF for a few weeks (detox, if you like) and so must have been overly sensitive to perceived moaning!
  5. None - get an office or work at home! Don't buy one coffee and take up space for 2 hours - it's antisocial and not exactly good for the business concerned! How about a library?
  6. The former Iceland site going to be an M&S, I think. A penthouse would be good too!
  7. Jeez - enough moaning - yes it was a bit inconvenient for you but they are giving you the money back - it is HSBC that has lost - not you! Turns out that ultimately they didn't hand out 'your' money but theirs. HSBC didn't 'lose' your card either - you did. These things happen - there's lots of crooks out there - hopefully they won't bother you again, but if you let them get to your card it may happen again some time. Count yourself lucky and be more careful with your card next time. Don't get me wrong, I'm sorry it happened to you - I just think blaming everyone else and moaning even after you get your money back, is a bit pointless. p.s. change banks if you like, but good luck finding one any better.

    Question

    Are you sure you don't mean "....aholic"? ; )
  9. Those last three posts.
  10. But I may be wrong. That's why it would be good for the OP to provide more detail.

It was an expression of my scepticism about the OP's post - see my post immediately above yours. I note there was no response from OP to that, or to any of the perfectly reasonable questions from concerned dog owners wanting to know details.
  12. Apologise ED Borders! Or at least admit that your posting was a load of old bollocks. Did you not see that sign?
  13. Seemed to me like it is a wind up designed to scare. I thought the OP's choice of the word "clearly" in the sentence "Word is the poison's been laid in the areas clearly marked "DOGS ON SHORT LEAD"". Beware." was a bit of a give away. Why would you use that word, unless you are raging against dog owners who you perceive to be ignoring the "clearly" marked signs? No doubt if this is genuine we will eventually hear something from the OP - it's a bit surprising there's been nothing yet, though.
  14. What sort of dog have you got KK?
  15. Weird - now even window cleaners (an occupation that's been around since the Victorian age) are thought by some to be a sign of gentrification! There's some odd views out there...
  16. It has little to do with gentrification and is quite common (at least I see those guys around a lot). If not cleaned sometimes, some bins can kick off a vile smell as well as attracting swarms of flies. Particularly if the collections are not as frequent as they might be.

Did you not get it?? It was one of those things I could never have thought of saying, but wish I had.

  19. Ha ha! Indeed, Turkey has changed completely in that time.
  20. Yes, agreed - but some mainly just use it for moaning about what ED has become and how the past was so much better. Surely those people would be better off having a relaxing break and enjoying themselves in their beautiful surroundings?
  21. Agreed. But I'm a bit sceptical about (1) people like aidan who register on EDF so that their first post is to slag off a local business and (2) someone making a sweeping statement suggesting something is no good because it is not 'authentic' (whatever that means). Otherwise, of course people are entitled to like or dislike different foods (unless they are my kids of course).
  22. I was thinking the same thing - surely it's something you do when a bit bored or as work-avoidance - not while you are supposed to be enjoying yourself on holiday?
  23. Well (and politely) said Evi. I will be joining the long queue of satisfied customers again this weekend. I doubt Aidan has even tried them - or if he has, his taste buds evidently seem unable to distinguish between ingredients ('authentic' or otherwise)!
