I do too. At least they should be able to travel without being in chains this time.........which is a plus.

Apparently a top bloke from what I hear, Keef and Sean liked him a lot.

for clarity, I haven't said that. Many people disagree with my views. I don't say they have mental illness. If I intimated that you have a mental illness it'll be for some other reason. And I wish to retract any accusation of you having a mental illness


But you do seem keen to equate Ireland fighting an often brutal colonial occupying force with Ireland voluntarily entering into a union with it's nearby trading partners. I am still calling that view (and not you personally) as nuts

Actually I don't think Collins sold out at all. He got as much as he believed was possible at the time. Of course this caused a civil war in Ireland. Just a few years earlier the 1916 rising was frowned upon by the majority of people in Ireland (at least from what my memory of reading Irish history is). The English f*cked up by killing the leaders of the rising, and as they say, the rest is history.

Who is this Declan fellow you speak of, is he another semi mythical entity?

It seems the Irish politicians and bankers were schooled at the same asylum or bin,


as the British politicians and bankers.


Nobody gets knicked for fraud,


so the Irish judiciary is as dependable as the British judiciary.


Through greed and incompetence the Irish have become a bankrupt state,


so the British verging on the edge of the same financial precipice have agreed to loan them money,


as they are the biggest trading partner we have.


We are loaning money to a bankrupt state so they can continue to trade with us,


whilst using our own money to do so, does that position seem precarious to you?

      Franklins is being sold

      By Loutwo · Posted

      I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa.

      Has anyone had the front of a terraced house painted?

      By malumbu · Posted

      How long is a piece of string? AI was a bit rubbish on this one, but Checatrade : average cost to paint a house exterior is around £30 per square metre So depends on the size, access, time to put up scaffolding and cost of hiring and building that, surface preparation, and quality of materials.   Checkatrade put it at £2.5 k for average semi, that sounds a little cheap.

      Be careful on the pavements...

      By malumbu · Posted

      Wow what a lot of reactionary stuff going on here.  Even by the high bar set by others on the EDF. So let's start with the title.  I thought wrong season for leaves on the pavement.  A bit late for ice, but it can still happen.  We all know about uneven pavements and tree roots.  Oh my word, perhaps Zombie apocalypse or sink holes.  Those damned Lime bikes?  But no, a four year old. The streets are rightly or wrongly full of kids scooting and cycling to schools in the morning.  Would or could a four year old cause a serious injury hitting an adult, perhaps but unlikely.  I'd rather a child on two wheels on the pavement than a car driving them to school. As said we are judging this on the original post.  We were not there.  We can not speculate. How this is victim (were you really a victim?) blaming, I don't know. How my response, similar to the previous two, is revolting, heavens knows. There is a serious conversation to be had about middle class parents.  My they can be annoying. And similarly for teenagers, adults, in particularly illegal ebikes including delivery riders, on the pavements, There are threads on the latter on here already.   But a four year old?  Really?? PS off to watch Newsnight and some more serious matters.
