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

    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.   
    • Everyone gets the point that Corbynites try to make with the "total number of votes cast" statistic, it's just a specious one.  In 2017, Corbyn's Labour got fewer votes than May's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes). In 2019, Corbyn's Labour fewer votes than Johnson's Tories (both the percentage of votes and aggregate number of votes); and he managed to drop 2.7 million votes or 6.9% of vote share between the two elections. I repeat, he got trounced by Boris F***ing Johnson and the Tories after the Brexit omnishambles. It is not true that a "fairer" electoral system would have seen Labour beat the Tories: Labour simply got fewer votes than the Tories. Corbyn lost twice. There is no metric by which he won the general election. His failure to win was a disaster for the UK, and let Johnson and Truss and Sunak into office. Corbynites have to let go of this delusion that Corbyn but really won somehow if you squint in a certain way. It is completely irrelevant that Labour under Corbyn got more votes than Labour under Starmer. It is like saying Hull City was more successful in its 2014 FA Cup Final than Chelsea was in its 2018 FA Cup Final, because Hull scored 2 goals when Chelsea only scored 1. But guess what - Chelsea won its game and Hull City lost. Corbyn's fans turned out to vote for him - but an even larger group of people who found him repellant were motivated enough to show up and vote Tory.
    • I guess its the thing these days to demonstrate an attitude, in this instance seemingly of the negative kind, instead of taking pride in your work and have standards then 🤷‍♀️
