??In unusually aggressive terms last night, the prime minister said he was willing to use anti-terrorism legislation to freeze the assets of other Icelandic companies operating in Britain in an effort to recoup the lost money.?


Fuck me! Is all I can rightfully say to that.


Talk about setting a hugely worrying precedent for the abuse of "anti terrorism" legislation.


Edit: To belatedly add sarcastic quotation marks around anti terrorism.

Careful Mockney, sarcasm suggests freedom of thought which can lead to terrorism in which case you have just given the government the excuse they need to steel all your assets and incarcerate you indefinitely without trial.


Edited: For your protection - HM police services.

Calm down and repeat after me:


Those in power know best, that?s why they?re in power

It?s for our protection

Kill the transgressors


Now if only we could all get together, perhaps once a week in a big hall or something and all repeat it together we would all feel so much more reassured.

Whilst I'm in agreement with the pair of you woolly pinkos over the worrying use of antiterror laws to have a pop at Iceland a pop needed to be had.


Those cheeky steam-bathing feckers decided to ignore international treaties and conventions and screw over a lot of public institutions. I think that deserves a response and a tough one to boot.


Now where are those ICBMs?

Ted Max pointed this out on another thread. I feel that as it is about beer it warrants proper exposure and discussion.

Personally I would welcome the chance to be able to buy 2/3s of a pint of lager as lager has to be drunk cold and a pint gets warm at the end, especially as most pubs don?t serve it cold enough in the first place.


I will stick to pints of proper beer though.

      Peckham Rye Lido

      By claresy · Posted

      I used to go to Brockwell all the time, but with lockdown it changed from being able to stay all day sunbathing and swimming to a limited lane swim time slot for the same price. This totally changed the relaxed vibe. It's also incredibly difficult to book online. If this has changed back I'd love to know. I really miss how it was. I guess it was an easy way to make a lot more money!

      Fuel theft

      By hobbs16 · Posted

      Yes.  It happens to a neighbour who has a van parked off Sydenham Hill quite a lot. It's because the fuel lines are easier to get to than cars.

      Peckham Rye Lido

      I like the idea of a lido, provided it's accessible to all. I haven't been for a while now.   Do you have to book Brockwell lido in advance and or have they gone back to just queuing  to enter?  Are you able to stay for as long as you wish or are there time slots.  Do teenagers  have access to these spaces? I can't see them booking in advance and time restrains would  not work for them...particularly if its costly. The last time I went to the lido it seemed to lack the diversity that it once had.

      Problem with neighbour- Southwark Council doesn't help. What to do?

      By Angelina · Posted

      If you want to reduce the sound from your flat, you can add acoustic or sound absorbing material under your carpet. There are many options for different budgets (google sound reduction in upstairs flat) In terms of improving your relationship with your downstairs neighbour, a really good first action would be to stop labelling him as mentally ill and start to consider that he may be very stressed and grumpy after prolonged noisy upstairs neighbours who don't take any notice of his complaints. There's always two sides to one story, but this is completely solvable
