Did anyone watch his pub visit live on Sky yesterday afternoon? I couldn't work out if it was manufactured craic or the real thing with real regulars. It being Ireland I think it was indeed the real thing. Although even the oldest grizzled regular was wearing a new tie for the occasion. It was hilarious.

Obama in England


Beautifully summed up, as ever, by the mash.


"[Obama said] "In America we give crowns to beauty queens. Okay, so they are just dim-witted pawns in some decadent, capitalist sideshow, but at least they fucking earned it.


"Not like this old white woman, who tries to justify her ill-gotten luxury with words like 'heritage' and 'continuity' as if we are all just dumb-assed field slaves who don't know nothin' anyhow."


The President continued: "If you think you can wave this imperialist horseshit under my nose and I won't say anything, you must be out of your tiny, inbred minds.


"I am now going to France where they know what to do with people like you.""

      The Mansion Tax

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!

      I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Cancerian · Posted

      Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
