Brendan

Internet forums have given everyone with a computer a voice. As is human nature we have chosen to use that voice to moan about things. Even if it is moaning about people moaning.

Wasn?t it the Greek? Or the cheese graters?

Yeah I liked that. >:D

Where is Flares?

Anyone in ED got a nieghbour who only lives there during the week and works in the city? Would be interesting to know if outer parts of London have got to that point yet.

I wish I could get paid for my incompetence. Oh and Alan. ED is by no means affluent if you compare it to a lot of London. Hell I can afford to live there.

You work at Sainsbos Spadetownboy?

Yeah. I?m as jealous as the next working stiff about rich buggers being so rich but you can?t blame them. Everyone has the right to makes as much money as they bloody well can. So long as they don?t break the law. Problem is the more money you have the easier it is to bend the law. Which is another topic all together.

I a wood-paneled Victorian library in Westminster.

He being a pugnacious man if Eire I think the latter is more likely. Having said that, if Mammy were informed of same she would be on the first flight in from her home in the colonies, knobkerrie at the ready to set her errant son back on the straight-and-narrow through the time honoured medium of swift and vicious violence. Either way it will just end up with me having to seek out cold beer and soft bosoms with which to placate my bruised head.

Erh herm! Am I wrong in assuming that if someone who is in need of medication on the spot they should generally be able to rely on a pharmacy to provide it for them?

Do you mean Rycott Road?

Much has and can be said about this but it is a universal truth which cannot be avoided. There is a certain instinctual appreciation for the female form that has something to do with endorphins. Regardless of the fact that this has always been common knowledge the people in white coats have gone ahead and studied it and found that it is generally peculiar to the male of the species. (According to an article I recently read on the BBC website so it must be true) Personally I?ve never been a big fan of the lap dancing thing. I?m perfectly happy if they just bring me beer.

Yeah good call on the other thread. Sorry about veering wildly off topic there.

Now you sound like an 80 yr old Jah. ;-)

With regards to groups of lads behaving badly, whether at home or abroad. Would you like my personal opinion? Well you are getting it. It all comes down to the fact that these guys feel the need to feel like a ?man? (or be respected). The only way some people can fulfill this need is by asserting some kind of dominance over others. The ?Me ?n my mates can do wot we wants coz we?s pissed and there?s lots of us? kinda thing. A bit like a bunch of adolescent chimpanzees running around the troop and making a noise to assert their authority over the others. Civilized human society has evolved to where men fulfill this need by being capable, kind and responsible and therefore respected. You get the same buzz from fixing something, solving a problem or doing something for someone that they really appreciate as you do from raping and pillaging. It is all about capability and respect. Problem is al lot of these things don?t seem to have any value to many people. So lads (who are just that without capability, kindness and responsibility no matter what their age) can only fulfill this need by regressing back to animal like behavior. Now I?m not an anthropologist so I could be completely wrong. I?m just a 30 yr old who, after reading over this again, quite clearly thinks like an 80 yr old. So consider yourself told sonny.

It had something to do with a church if I recall. I will see if I can find it again.

Well from this thread it is clear that what LL really needs is a strip joint.

Apparently historically that area was called South Dulwich. Can't remember where I read that but I seem to recall seeing it somewhere.

I?ve never understood why vegetarian options have to be a ?second class? choice on menus, always a meat dish with something like tofu to replace meat. There are plenty of dishes out there that are vegetarian by their very nature and can just be part of the menu, aimed at all the punters not just the veggies. I?m an avid meat eater but don?t feel that every meal I eat has to be based around meat in order to somehow qualify it as a ?proper? meal. A vegetable lasagna has just as much to recommend it as a half chicken IMO. Veering wildly off topic there but this is lounged anyway.

I put my juice cartons in the recycling and they seeem to disapear. :-S

A nice new BIG indoor swimming pool is what ED needs. Although perhaps that wouldn?t fit in the Foxtons shop. Perhaps it would in the police station.

Very interesting. I live in a 1950s house built on an old V2 bomb site.

I recently had their ploughmans which I really enjoyed. So I had it again and it wasn?t that great the second time. Perhaps I should have waited a day or so. I also think it was a little expensive or maybe not. Anyway I left feeling a little annoyed about something but it could have just been an uncomfortable chair or an ingrown toenail. Anyway the ploughmans comes with 2 thick greasy slices of pork which I liked and some cheese and pickle and bread and celery and an apple and I?m just rambling now so I?ll get back to work.
