Eh? I think not! What makes you think this is where their proceeds are going, Eric?

You're point almost won me over, Eric, until I spotted you're use of 'their' instead of 'They're'.

I'm common as muck, me, but even I wouldn't f*ck sh!t up along them lines.

instead of you're use of 'their' instead of 'They're'?


I actually believe that nobody has bothered to report this (god knows I'm the only one in the North Cross Road or top of Barry Road area who will complain about noise polution.) I want whatever the rest of the community has which keeps them so freakishly quiet & care-free.


Report these guys to the police at once.... They haven't come for me yet.

No you're not - I'm in the North Cross Road area and I complain about noise if it happens frequently and loudly from the same place.


Wouldn't report the dishcloth people though unless I actually felt threatened by them or felt they were involved in some criminal activity rather than just selling overpriced tat.

Alot of people have felt threatened (& have actually been threatened). That's the only reason I've brought it up.

Those lines was belongful to me. personal.

So them was me own, so these lines was mine and I writ them so those went from someone else's those to my them.

Simplication itself as Plato once remarked. Or was it Sophocles?

Quod erat demonstrandum as Popeye once had it.


Edited because I disspelled 'demonstrandum', to leave it in statue would have demined my point and make me look knowledgephobic

I had one of these round when I lived on Landcroft Road last year. He was persistent, in the end I had to close the door in his face, and he kicked something outside and shouted "you queer, you f***ing poof!". So I opened it and challenged him, and got into a big argument which involved him telling me "it's not Adam and Steve, it's Adam and Eve", which is such a classic retro bit of homophobic abuse I almost invited him to an 80s theme party.


He also said "I don't like you bringing that s**t around me" to which I replied "yeah, but YOU were the one knocking on MY door", and he started getting aggressive and only backed down when my (somewhat larger) flatmate appeared at the door to see what all the shouting was about.


I called the police and they apparently informed the community wardens and asked neighbours, but nothing ever came of it.

Not sure about anyone else, but this to me seems the least truthful post since the one of those ones I put on the song game thread.

If it happened, it's been described in the schumckiest possible way.

If, as I believe it's an invention then it's as dopey and dreary an invention that ever there was.

No offence.

Actually, balls to that, every offence possible. Huh.

Interesting, I thought I'd make a little contribution to this forum as a relevant incident had happened. A few weeks later, I come back to find this little bit of unpleasantness.


Well it happened. Not sure what was implausible, though I probably felt a lot more fearful and came across less confidently than the telling implies. As someone later said, I was just trying to describe the incident with a little levity. But again, I'd be interested to know which part of it you think didn't happen, or what leads you to believe the entire incident is fictional.


The incident was dealt with by Catherine Pearson, TDC 220426 at Walworth Police Station, who sent me a statement to fill out. There's probably a crime number but I don't have that to hand. But put it this way, if the incident didn't happen, then I told an awful lot of lies to at least 2 police officers and made a untruthful witness statement.


I might just gently make the final observation that people who post in such a confrontational way on internet forums often do so because of their inability to stand up to people in real life. The fact you've made 7,000 posts in this forum alone can only add to this impression. However, I could be wrong, and if you're man enough you can come round to my flat (pm me for my contact details), tell me again why you think I'm a liar, and then I'll show you the emails from the police (and if it didn't get lost/binned in my last flat move, any documentation I can find). Deal?

    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
    • Nope, I'd just get on with my day and forget about it. And I wouldn't report them on the basis that they might spill my coffee in the future.  However the OP seems to think that this young woman is deliberately pushing her bell, slamming her gate etc, having repeatedly been asked not to. I'd wager the woman is a bit pee'd off and there's a bit of a stand-off going on. Best course of action is to go out, take the parcel, smile sweetly, say hello, tell her you hope she's having a nice day / staying cool etc, in a way that comes across as genuine and not pass-agg,  and to let it diffuse. Might find it calms down a bit.  But I like the girl hate the idea of her being denigrated on here when she works so hard.
