"Careful now..."


Downsouth - I'm so with you



But when it works so well why would anyone change it?


"The easiest way to keep people in line is to scare the shit out of 'em" - Be Dead by The Fatima Mansions


You see how we are treated at airports? That's how governments would love to treat us all the time...

"The paper reports the BBC's executive editor Karl Warner said: "She's one of the hottest acts around and an important voice of her generation."


And according to the Beeb website, BBC Three controller Danny Cohen said: "She's one of the hottest acts around and an important voice of her generation."


Busted! >:D<

Whilst picking up a takeaway curry yesterday (couldn't be bothered to do a sainsburys shop frankly) I was flicking through that dreadful rag they call the sun.

Yesterday's main editorial basically said "lets go to war with Iran".

No matter how horrific a paper it amy be we can't deny it has a hefty influence.

By and large the majority did not support the last war, do you think Murdoch can sway the populace over Iran with rubbish rhetoric like "The only thing worse than a War with Iran, is a nuclear Iran...blah...ahmdinejad bad man...blah"

Like me, when you actually pick it up occassionally, the Sun STILL manages to surprise and offend in equal measure


Not sure if it has a "hefty" influence tho'. And do you mean influence on "the powers that be" or the poulation at large. I would argue they have more power on the political advisors than the general population


If you are of voting age and influenced by Sun editorials, then you are likely just as easily influenced by lots of other tosh as well...

    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
    • Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
