"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...

    • The step means Love Dulwich is not disabled friendly though they went to help someone on  crutches up the step last time we were there  much prefer it as a Turkish than café but maybe not for this group   The noise level might be an issue as it’s all hard surfaces though I don’t recall it being noisy. check out Olivelli the menu has a good range  though it’s not the best Italian you can get. There’s also a step up into Maria’s - much smaller but you need to negotiate the step and door at the same time. Olivelli has more room and if I remember right the toilets are on the ground floor. A consideration if steps are an issue The Lordship might be an option. Noise is not usually an issue. We’ve enjoyed various meals there. The ladies toilets are on the same floor as the tables (the gents may be upstairs). The staff are always friendly
    • It’s about chains, and the ethos of family run business versus unhealthy competition 
    • 'Tom Lehrer, acclaimed musical satirist of cold war era, dies aged 97' https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/jul/28/tom-lehrer-dies-aged-97-dead-musical-satirist  
    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
