Oh great. Now we're going to have an entire day of bullshit and weeks of news coverage given to poorly informed strutting peacocks who don't have a clue about the issues mouthing off about fabricated hypotheticals as they chuck paint bombs at the Halifax. Whoopeee do.

Has fazer71 EVER been to a restaurant where it didn't go wrong? ;-)

I understand that not ALL teardrops produce DNA, only a certain type of teardrop. So when you're burning down your bosses house, don't cry if you actually care...

Ha ha! We're all freaks! That bog roll thing is spot on - I've walked downstairs in my boxers before asking 'why the f*** would you do this?'. I didn't think it was weird, but clearly in the bright sunshine of hindsight I understand why people's jaws dropped...

I just play Risk all the time, and like WOPR in War Games I've discovered that there is no winner....

Making me laugh :))

It is UDT. Goddam it you're right! :)

None of that makes sense as English. Self-governance cannot abdicate, only a person or body of people can abdicate. Abdication cannot render anybody anything, because abdication means giving up the power to ifluence. It could leave a vacuum within which corruption flourishes, but that's not what you said. QE and banker bailouts are completely unrelated. To heap them together shows a gross misunderstanding of the basic elements of economics and finance. As a metaphor the aggravated assault one is rubbish. Aggravated assault is a personal attack with a weapon, even at its worst QE is completely impersonal, and there's no weapon element.

"A while later, with evidence of dramatically falling sales a local councillor helped them get the decision reversed" I don't think this is entirely true. Can you provide us with the dates and the figures for when LL was a red route? Can you also provide us with these 'dramatically falling sales' and demonstrate that the two are linked? No? I thought not ;-) Just another fabricated claim and scare story from the convenience crew.

Not necessarily BNG - people only do what's convenient. If parking near the station isn't practical, the the residents of Scutari Road may not drive to ED station at all.

I had a mate with an egg problem - he craved fried egg whites, but if he even saw a yolk, he would vomit. He would ask people to prepare it for him whilst he stood outside the kitchen, and would only return after the yolk had been disposed of.

Yes New Nexus - the devaluation is a way of reducing the debt. If you don't like debt, they you do like devaluation. Get it?

"how many T-Bills is the UK holding?" More ludicrous US based copy and paste. You're like a broken record. "when a bank holiday is announced and currency devaluation starts" Starts? Are you insane? Sterling has devalued 25% since 2009. The problem you have is that every time you put fingertip to keyboard it's all bollocks. Why don't you think about it first? Go on, try it? Engage brain?

Chinatown at CNY is like Oxford Street on January 6th - pointlessly packed with people who have gone along to see other people at the Sales, but are in fact watching them thinking they are people at the Sales...

Why do the CPZ protagonists, who have their own thread, insist on wrecking the other areas of the forum like a diarrhoea sufferer shitting on the football pitch, the cricket pitch, somebody else's picnic and your own effing Sunday lunch in the pub?

"Only if CPZ permit holders are banned from parking in other residential streets. Why should we share with you if you won't share with us?" Absolutely Loz, I knew you were in favour of CPZs when it gives you an advantage ;-)

Decisions made all over the world affect the residents of ED - but they're not in ED. I suspect this is the reason why your thread about Dulwich Village has been moved out of the ED specfic section ;-) You shouldn't feel defensive about it though - you'll get plenty of coverage in here.

You see that's when I'm shocked. Dopamine1979 has spent an unhealthy amount of time on some of the most awful threads on this forum, and then comes out with a timely and witty gag. :))

Me? I should get out more?

New Nexus in 'Complete Prat' shocker. Anyway, on a more intelligent note.... There's a macro economic issue in the UK at the moment that's related to behaviour rather than finance. Modern societies are about the exchange of goods and services, and money is about the relative perceived value. Regardless of the 'money' issue, it seems that the economy has stalled on the trading issue. The UK from the outside is looking rather like a man crossing a motorway who has suddenly frozen in the fast lane, unsure of whether crossing the road was a great idea or not. The UK needs to start trading, and stop panicking over whether bankers get too much bonus. In an environment like this, the pompous slack jawed dribble of UDT and New Nexus is causing an unreasonable distraction. If you sit there listening to these pricks there's only one outcome that involves a radiator grill and 70mph. The UK needs to get a grip and understand that money doesn't matter - business does. If the Daily Mail cared, that would be the headline on every issue: 'Britains's Better Off Working'.

If you look at that picture closely, the's a shop that appears to sell bad shoes.

On another note, the ECJ's view seems entirely reasonable. Have you got an issue with it GOM?

I don't get that one.

I'm secretly chuffed that the zen of single speed cycling also treated the Jamaica creation myth with the contempt it deserved. So to all you cyclists I say 'HA!'.
