Yes, Emerson. But only up to a certain point. Like everyone else, I watch whatever misery is unfolding, feel a sense of empathy for my fellow, suffering humans. Then let it fade into the background; safe in the knowledge that another disaster will ocurr soon, distracting the majority from the present suffering.


I'm sorry if that comes across as unkind. It's just that in this media saturated age, I've grown rather numb to the suffering I see on the news.

Nicely put. What is all this grieving for some overpaid 'start' all about??

He reached a good age and live a good life.... what for all those less fortunate.

There are no threads dedicated to them so far as i can see...??

Seems to me by your language, that you are the one looking for a fight?


Sorry if i have missed something.

I wasn't apologizing.


I was questioning why you felt the need to wade in with a negative statement such as yours i quoted.

In my opinion, you came across as the one looking for a fight.


My earlier post was simply putting my two pence worth into the thread.

You are allowed to disagree with my opinion, that is your right.


I question why you took it personally and felt the need to use profanity?

I grew up with Tony on the screen, along with Jeff Chandler. Montgomery Clift , Robert Mitchum.. but Tony was always my favourite, what a lovely man he was.. stunning is the word, I saw a photo of him when he was young in the navy.. and he took your breath away.. feeling sad about celebs is like feeling sad for our lost past I think, and the memories.


Now look here. I'm not trying to pick a fight. I'm simply saying that I refuse to grieve for people that I've never met. If I've learnt anything from this thread, it's that mourning the loss of people that mean nothing to you is fashionable, so as not to be seen as insensitive to people you've never met. Tell me, did you mourn the loss of live after the bus crash in the Philipines? Do you hold a candle for the Holocaust survivors? I doubt it.


Perhaps in future you should try not following the dishonest, insincere liberal trend, ????. Because from what I've seen so far, it suggests you're a very weak individual.

    • At last a decision…. Hope it lives up to your expectations. Good post though as new eateries appeared which no doubt others like myself will try out. Has changed hands last year but sure that will not bother you…personally always abit concerned if not many eating over lunchtime but  that is just me. Do let us know how food was after all of you have  indulged…was great when it was a cafe and personally hope it is good as I like Turkish food.    
    • It looks as though there will be 10 of us!  We are going to Love Dulwich again for a lunch and will checkout their 'normal' menu - from what we remember from the last 2 times we went = there was plenty to satisfy every one and they were happy to take party bookings.- Hubby and I have worked out that if all our daughters, grandchildren and great grandchildren were  to come - there would be 20 of us!! As it is - the Essex  family branch live too far away to come over for an evening - so we will meet up in Essex at a later date.
    • Tend to use 37 or 42 bus as rarely been able to find parking space. Sods Law - there is sometimes a few spaces when I bus it.!
    • Just to warn anyone thinking of employing or engaging Chris and Anna Richmond, that nothing has changed.  The accounts above from others are all too familiar.  A job that we were told would take between 6-8 months is now entering its 23rd month.  They have taken enormous amounts of money from us, finished nothing, and the quality of the work that they have delivered is poor to substandard.  They take no responsibility themselves - there are endless excuses and everything is someone else's fault.  They do not care about the impact that their actions have on anyone else.   They are, at best, chaotic. They have not delivered as the designers or project managers that they claim to be. They are rarely on site to monitor the progress or quality of the job that is being delivered and they and manage their largely non-English speaking workforce by WhatsApp and Google translate.  There has been little evidence that they employ the skilled tradespeople needed to lay tiles, install bathrooms and kitchens, decorate and complete to the standard that we have paid for.  I cannot stress enough, that if you are currently in discussion with Anna and Chris Richmond about a future job or have paid them money up front for a job that they have slipped in delivering, to quit while you are ahead.  Things won't get better.
