The ceramic painting place at the end of the Goose Green parade of shops might be worth investigating...

He said there would be no more talks unless the EU agreed to remove the backstop, true to form he's already backtracked on that particular pledge...

True, but I would add that you should also run any repair proposals past the freeholder first as you may need their permission, or even if you don't, at least keep them in the loop, this can only reflect well on you in the future should the relationship break down and get nasty...

Anyways, I worry about *Bob*, how does he channel all that pent-up sarcasm without the EDF? It's no coincidence that since he left the quality of TV ad jingles has plummeted. I guess it was inevitable after he had to give up his Rolf Harris Stylophone for obvious reasons, it was like asking Mozart to compose a concerto without a violin. I bet he loved mushy peas too...*Bob* not Mozart, obvs

A bit harsh, it was only a matter of time before someone brought up mushy peas...so to speak

Since we're getting all nostalgic, come back Ted Max!...

I read a headline yesterday about Labour having some ideas of how to save our high streets, didn't read the article, but have always thought that the Gov of the day should try and help independent retailers like they do with first-time buyers. High rents seems to be the common factor why these smaller shops eventually close down. Perhaps some kind of rental tax relief is needed if not already provided...

The opening night of Seabag's new home themed restaurant Couch Potatoes doesn't prove to be a success, as the denizens of CG decide they might as well stay at home and order a Deliveroo... Have you got an electrical certificate for this place? enquired Dulwich Basil Brush

The Brextremists are happy to No Deal by any means necessary, and so should the anti-No Dealers. It shouldn't really matter who leads a temp caretaker Gov if they all agree they want to stop No Deal and get an extension for a GE and/or referendum. I can understand Corbyn's wish to lead it as he's the LOTO with the most seats, and it will look good for him going into No. 10 even for a short period, equally the right wing press and Brextremists would self-combust. Every cloud etc...

Recently published, might have to get one... :)

Oof, here's comes another... The irony of blue passports produced by a French company and printed in Poland that cannot be guaranteed to be imported into the UK because a no deal Brexit means that no trade agreement will be in place to allow the blue passports to enter the UK.

There's a game theory that Johnson, rather than scaring the EU into a last minute deal with threats of No Deal, is actually deliberately scaring MPs so he can later offer up May's WA one more time nearer the deadline. It would have a much better chance of passing and he would've met his pledge of leaving by 31/10 ''by any means necessary''. A long shot and wouldn't be popular with the ERG headbangers (who Cummings hates by the way), but it fits in with Cummings' strategic thinking. This is a good article on the ways and means Parliament can still prevent a No Deal... https://www.politics.co.uk/blogs/2019/08/13/psychological-warfare-over-no-deal-masks-a-strategic-vulnera

I realise that No Deal is the legal default should a deal not be passed, I've had to stress that point on here many times in the past. But that doesn't mean No deal has to happen, there are mechanisms to at least delay it. Since May was booted out the Tory party have been actively choosing the No Deal route in order to save their party. Pointing your finger and saying it's Remain MPs fault is like blaming the gunsmith for making the gun...
