Which is not the aggressive "following people down the street and yelling at them" you tried to argue.

I think you are heading back to the 'all men are potential rapists' argument again. It's like that horrible 'male gaze' crap attitude from the 70's and 80's (and, sadly, beyond).

Sorry, former teacher, no such luck. Funny that earlier today you accused me of stalking your comments and you've deliberately come back not to make a point but just to toss in an insult at me!

Beneath all the righteousness, though, there's an important parallel with the referendum topic: once you open the door to sexist, objectifying comments and tell women who - perhaps for reasons they don't want to share on the forum -feel uncomfortable, that it's just banter they have to accept, not only do those women feel bullied, the what's ok / what's not ok threshold moves to the next level and the thing escalates. As in this thread, in fact.


One of the things I hate most about working in a large corporate environment is that a lot of what used to be overt is covered up that way.

*Bob* back in the day we could keep lame threads going for 6/7 pages, without drawing breath. You of all people should never underestimate the power of a ridiculous and overrated thread to spill over into personal arguments, petty squabbling and embarrassingly entertaining drivel.


So, on that note, when is our next cyber battle due to commence? I reckon we could top this thread length with a much less controversial topic. What do you reckon?

Can you do next Thursday?


I'll say something about focaccia and we can take it from there.

Otta : in the first place I did not know KK was female. Secondly, I did not say I disagreed. This was self evident as I did say that KK's 7.11am post made no sense - to me. Then skipped off to work and thought no more about it. So was not ignoring you, but oblivious to your question.

Actually, you called them 'disagreeable comments'. You say they are disagreeable, but you don't disagree with them? Yeah, right.

hello Loz : I found this 2 seconds ago. what is your problem with me? What does yeah, right mean? does that mean you have the high ground? you sound like Dionne Bromfield and about the same age. Was this irony? I looked up Yeah Right, the Cambridge Dictionary describes it as : 'used when you don't believe what someone has said'

Perhaps you could now look up 'disagreeable' and its many synonyms and realise that disagreeable and not agreeing do not correspond.

I cannot fathom your hostility, self righteousness and pure aggression toward me and my feelings and opinions : its baffling.

However I will not be disconcerted, but where I come from, posts like yours elicit the wisdom 'you are just showing yourself up' in happy, perceptive scouse accent.

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
