I think we can be quite clear what 'ponces at the Victoria' meant...


It was meant as a dig at the owners of the Victoria, and


It was intended to insult/ slur and if you can't see that then you need your head testing


Sorry, no. I can't have that. I appreciate you feel under attack but I don't think that's fair.


I don't know anything about the people at the vic _ I've had one glass of coke in there since it opened. I wasn't taking notes about peoples sexuality as I did so.


The word was meant to mean "over-fancy" as i stated, and also not serious in any case. You alerted me to a derogatory meaning of the world so I withdrew it. I have not apologised for a slur, insult or similar because it was not one.

Way...


Got on at Shoreditch & got-off-at Wapping.


BUT then, I also saw a man climbing a ladder and sticking a "golden mushroom" a top a building by Hoxton Sq.

I'll pass thank you. Far too poncey for me. But I could murder a tub of glace cherries (and possibly some treacle).



(I have a sweet tooth)


Just to be clear, the use of "murder" here is not to be construed as in "killing with malice aforethought".


I bid you "Good Evening".

No. You MP, Sean and your little gang of mates prefer to back each other up rather than see what the intention of the word really was, because with you guys, it's not about an objective and fair appraisal but ganging up when the fancy takes you on whoever the next shooting target is. A right little clique of bullies amongst several on this forum.


If this is what anyone thinks, I lose all respect for them.


You! You dare speak to me about homophobia when I have spent weeks in a row, on this forum , defending almost alone with people like James, as people defend homophobia. ("oh but I wasn'nt a member then! who is James???" Exactly...tread more carefully)


When I have been physically attacked for being "gay"?? And you accuse me of being a defender of homophobia?



clique my arse.


self-elected, self important, jumped up would-be ombudsman, you are. Didn't you promise to f*** off weeks ago?


This claiming of clique is the easiest, pissiest, laziest tactic. I've never met half the people you speak of. But I have met you. You seemed all right. But in the last year you are like some rotweiller of language and semantics.


You dare speak of how people use "ponce"? And you compare it to "nigger"??


You should be ashamed of yourself.

My My


all this fuss over something that you can simply avoid, it's a bit like television, if you don't like the program turn over, in the case of FG if you don't like it or the methods used to farm it then eat somewhere else, don't stop people who do like it from enjoying it, my my the forum is becoming more and more of a nanny state every week.


Personally I like it, but I am not about to force my likes down the throats of those who don't B)

So the EDF is back.


It's been a slow week in the office and every time I turn to EDF for my reliable dose of light relief (once I've seen the latest daily mash instalment) all I have found is some fecking carry on about bollards.


I turn away for a day and come home to find an 8 page classic which whilst focussed on Foie Gras (of all things) acted as a medium for all the usual posturing.


TM you have truly captured the hearts and minds of East Dulwich and provided a wonderful distraction from the Hackgate tedium. I salute you even if I would prefer it that you leave the Prince Regent alone.

      GALA 2025

      By fishboy · Posted

      That's odd, one of the claimed benefits of the Gala money is - "The site hire fee goes directly to supporting the delivery of the council’s Events service, which supports the delivery of up to 100 free-to-attend community events per year" I've asked for a list of these events, as without this I feel it can't realistically be used to justify the disruption. Can anyone name even 10 of these events? 5?

      Unusual white/grey cat in my garden

      By mumra · Posted

      There’s an unusual cat in my garden that appears a bit lost and hungry. White and fluffy with grey parts and blue eyes. Seems like a house cat. I’m behind Goose Green off Ondine.

      GALA 2025

      By malumbu · Posted

      As far as I am aware you have shown no interest in the Gala thread but anything you find to knock a local authority, and no doubt hope that it applies to Southwark LTNs, then off you go. I'd love to hear what you enjoy.  I've been to multiple festivals big and small, in life.  The line up at the Lambeth Show looks good.  Steamdown anyone? It's a balance between many factors, amenity Vs loss of amenity, disruption including noise during the event, damage to the park, income to the local authority during difficult times.  What is your view on these matters, or is it just a case that you smell meat? I cycled in the Massif Central when there was a big creative festival and that smelled of BBQ meat.  Similarly a Portuguese festival at Kensington Park. There are some people round my way who used to complain about the music at the Horniman on a summer Sunday afternoon.  This is not comparable to the disruption due to the Gala, I hasten to add.  But I was stunned at the time thinking how could they have issues with some soul/jazz/afro beat/samba/Latino etc  Shane they don't have the same number of free events any more.  I digress....

      But I think there are striking similarities between the way Lambeth has managed the Brockwell events and residents therein and the way Southwark has with Gala..... It's how it pastes when you take text from another website (BBC) and is a good way to show that these are someone else's words and not something written by the author!
