> calling everybody 'Ghastly Beasts'...


My English teacher once called me a blithering idiot. I pissed myself.


I also like replacing 'a load of sh*t' with 'a crock of sh*t' these days.

There's place somewhere on this isle called Felching...I kid you not.....getting back to topic...


I like to use...'Listen Lady (followed by spurious comments)'...annoys the hell outta do-Goders in the street who come up to me to tell me Jesus is my friend.

So let me get this straight, we're being close minded because we don't believe some japanese bloke who, while up a mountain, discovered a jedi-like way of focussing the universe's 'energies' is really on to anything.


But you're happy to dismiss christianity out of hand, one of the three pillars of Western European civilisation?!?!*

Or is it do-gooders (people who try to make other people happy) that you have an issue with?


*for the record, so am I.

No problem with Christianity or any other religion. I just don't want it thrust down my neck by some woman in the Sainsbury's car park who takes it upon herself whilst I'm waiting for the bus to come up to me and tell me Jesus is my friend and then tries to get me to come to church with her.....THAT I have a problem with.


Oh and see the post on the Main Page of the Forum. We have another Reiki practitioner is our midst. She must read these threads, I think she'll be very interested.

Hurrah I am loving this thread


I like "yampy" which I think is a Brummie/West Mids expression, it is a bit tricky to explain without using other rubbish words. Used most often in the phrase "I've gone a bit yampy" it kind of explains that spaced out, slightly hysterical feeling you get when you're really hung over and then you get a sudden burst of energy. There, now you know!

    • Thank you to everyone who has already shared their thoughts on this. Dawson Heights Estate in the 1980s, while not as infamous as some other estates, did have its share of anti-social behaviour and petty crime. My brother often used the estate as a shortcut when coming home from his girlfriend’s house, despite my parents warning him many times to avoid it. Policing during that era had a distinctly “tough on crime” approach. Teenagers, particularly those from working-class areas or minority communities, were routinely stopped, questioned, and in some cases, physically handled for minor infractions like loitering, skateboarding, or underage drinking. Respect for authority wasn’t just expected—it was demanded. Talking back to a police officer could escalate a situation very quickly, often with harsh consequences. This was a very different time. There were no body cameras, dash cams, or social media to hold anyone accountable or to provide a record of encounters. Policing was far more physical and immediate, with few technological safeguards to check officer behaviour. My brother wasn’t known to the police. He held a full-time job at the Army and Navy store in Lewisham and had recently been accepted into the army. Yet, on that night, he ran—not because he was guilty of anything—but because he knew exactly what would happen if he were caught on an estate late at night with a group of other boys. He was scared, and rightfully so.
    • I'm sure many people would look to see if someone needed help, and if so would do something about it, and at least phone the police if necessary if they didn't feel confident helping directly. At least I hope so. I'm sorry you don't feel safe, but surely ED isn't any less safe than most places. It's hardly a hotbed of crime, it's just that people don't post on here if nothing has happened! And before that, there were no highwaymen,  or any murders at all .... In what way exactly have we become "a soft apologetic society", whatever that means?
    • Unless you're 5 years old or have been living in a cave for several decades you can't be for real. I don't believe that you're genuinely confused by this, no one who has access to newspapers, the tv news, the internet would ask this. Either you're an infant, or have recently woken up from a coma after decades, or you're a supercilious tw*t
