??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.

      Gutter Cleaning

      By alexia · Posted

      A big thanks to Julian for coming out to see to a gutter issue the next morning after a period of incredibly heavy rain. The gutter pipe in question is shared between four houses and the cause of the leak wasn't immediately obvious. Julian made two visits to make sure the issue was fully resolved and was highly efficient in his work and very personable too.

      Who does it bother? The bikes take up more pavement space and are far more untidy.

      Eliot built sitting room alcove shelving and cupboards for me earlier this year and did a great job. I highly recommend him. The joinery is completed to a really high standard; Eliot was super communicative throughout and took care to check details with me. The work was done on time and the guys took care to clean up afterwards (not always the case!). I’m extremely pleased with the results and wouldn’t hesitate to use him again.
