Another Sean eh?


I agree it's a pretty poor effort there - it has been 3 different companies/brands in the last few years but it's always been fairly dog-eared and expensive


Pretty good range of world-cinema though...


And one of the girls who works there suffered a pretty horrible encounter with an attempted robbery, so I hope it's not the one you are talking about...

I found the girl ok, but the prices are a rip off.


I used to pay 50p for half an hour at the Elephant.


I wish someone would open another internet cafe as competition, cos my computer is very temperamental but I hate paying 1? for 20 mins.


The library is free, but you can't access e-bay or facebook at the library!

It's the kind of venture Inside 72 or Liqurice should set up during the day when it's quiet; all they need is a few cheap but powerful laptops and a wireless network (I think Inside already has one). They'd piss all over that pricey dump and sell a few drinks too.

I spent three hours in Osbourne Stewart the other day playing video games online. Eventually their patience began to wear thin and they asked me if they could help. I told them I wanted to buy three houses worth at least a million quid each and while they were trawling through their data-base to find properties to match, I racked up a High Score and bu**ered off sharpish!

Thouroughly sick of the video store on LL, discs are nearly always scratched and this is quite a pain as I have to try and explain to my daughter why Nemo is jammed again. Plus the Asian girl who works there is just about the rudest shop assistant I have ever had the misfortune to ever come across. I wish that the whole sorry lot of them and their substandard goods would just fold and let a honest reliable establishment open in their place.
We are often given the wrong videos, we get scratched videos, and now you have to pay when you bring them back (instead of when you pick them up) which means you pay twice if you have an overnight and a three day rental - and you have to come into the store and queue again. The staff are depressed and depressing at the same time and they look like they come from one of those "this is what will happen to you if you smoke" ads. Lovely place, great lighting

I'm so glad to see Osbourne Stewart, local estate agents and free internet access providers still have support after such malicious accusations were laid against them. The idea that one of their staff actually impersonated a member of the public and shamelessly promoted their business here on the forum is farcical, they would never do something so silly.


I wish them every success and once they've ceased trading as an estate agent and made the tough switch to being a DVD/webcafe, does anyone know what kind of movies they will stock?

excuse me but the 'asian' shop assistant, who is not actually asian, is the politest person there she helps out people without complaining, the people there work 8 hour shifts 5 days a week without breaks and they are forced to stand up for the full 8 hours, and it's the manager that is vile, she is arrogant and rude to customers without any excuse, and with the number of vile substandard customers that go in there, there is no reason why they are becoming vile.


Also the girl you are calling asian is the one that had a gun in her face during the robbery so it's not had to guess why she is not smiling all the time

    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who by moving to your position on the right are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand). 
    • Greg did an amazing job! He built a cabinet in my living room and added shelving. A lovely guy and perfectionist who goes the extra mile. He really understands what you want and comes up with various options to meet your price range. Would highly recommend!
