squatters on goose green (Lounged)

[*Bob*]

You've joined us at a very exciting moment, Dave..

But that's your basic commonsense page two material - we're on page fourteen now.

[sophiesofa]

Yes p14 and I don't think we're going to learn anything new since the GGTeam have said they're not coming back on.

[*Bob*]

No.. unless JAMESF can provide us with a fully-evidenced thrilling d?nouement?!

[ImpetuousVrouw]

Does anyone believe that JamesF actually knows what he's talking about?

[hellosailor]

Nope. who can tell if JamesF is telling the truth or not. His description of the GGT certainly seems to tally with the self-absorbed philosophy A-level student tone of the GGT but that could be a coincidence.

[Huggers]

do the GGT even exist? or is it a wind up to draw out the inner daily mailness of east dulwich?

[hellosailor]

I was just thinking the same thing! - it wouldn't surprise me if it turned out that the GGT and JamesF were using us as the foundation of their A-level politics coursework. Their tutor at Dulwich College is probably doling out A*s all round as we speak :))

[GSJ57]

Why can't they just hang out down the pub like we used to??

Not to mention original poster maryopl?

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

A* for that grammar and spelling would be an aberration.

[Huguenot]

I think JAMESF is making it up, odds anyone? Quids, you always take a bet?

[plimsoul]

i really hope jamesf is not making it up, this just gets better by the minute. so they live at home with mum and or dad. any more details? do they watch hollyoaks? do they pay for the music that they download? are they eligible to vote??

next it will transpire that one of their parents actually bought the house...

[mockney piers]

oh my.

[Milo]

Perhaps the GGS are art students, this is a performance piece?

[sheilarose]

"I suggest you ask members of your team to confirm they are funding the finance of your squat by legal means only, but just remember, one of your squatters lives in my house and I may already know what the answer is!

I suggest you make sure your team live above the law in all aspects of their life..."

I wonder what JAMESF is hinting at here?

[hellosailor]

Yes come on GGT! I've no doubt that you're still following this thread! if there is no truth whatsoever in JamesF's claims that some of you are still at school, that you all have homes to go to and most of you sleep in those homes several nights a week, that it's effectively more of an Enid Blyton secret 7 style boy's den you've created there, and that you all regularly pop home to do washing and eat at mum and dad's while taking it in turns to sleep in the 'squat', indeed that one of you lives in the same house as him, then you surely might want to refute those claims?

[flong]

Worth noting, perhaps, that by their own admission, this lot on Goose Green are not what anyone above 35 would call students. If they're in receipt of EMA, as they say they are, then they are pupils of sixth-form age, not students. EMA is granted only to 16-18 year-olds.

It did prompt me to wonder why the hell they aren't living at home with their families. JamesF has come up with the only explanation so far proffered. Do these "squatters" have a better one?

[annaj]

Best. Thread. Ever.

Seriously.

Beats the pants off Colin the Catflap Fitter.

If they didn't exist I would have to invent them.

Someone's got it right on the money if they aren't real though, applause.

The best thing about this forum is drawing out the 'used to be liberal' brigade, they are tremendous value.

[Smiler]

Link to Colin the Catflap Fitter anyone?

[SeanMacGabhann]

I think the catflap fitter thread was in the Wanted section which had a purge recently of anything older than 6 months ?

[sophiesofa]

There is a cat flap fitter who was/is extremely crap called colin but there is also a different very good cat flap fitter also called colin. Just thought I should mention that bit incase good colin misses out on business!

[cate]

Poor good Colin.....what is his number?

[sophiesofa]

There was more to it than that and it was the funniest thread ever to have graced the EDF IMO, but alas I think it is lost forever. Have no idea of good colin's full name or number sorry, hopefully someone else has it!

[Narnia]

Sophie, trying to stick to the topic..........if the squatters wanted a catflap for their squatting cat, which Colin is the good catflap fitter? I say 'their....cat' but I don't really believe any cat feels like it has an owner as such. I have never had a cat so it's from watching how the local ones behave I reached that conclusion. As for all the 'lost cat' threads,I don't think they think they are lost. On holidays maybe?
