Thanks senior, yes has turned into a little monster thread. Sorry the prince is getting a good talking to!


Re artfulldogger, surely you agree with protesting where people see injustice, otherwise we would still have bear bating and slavery! (Even though at the time many people stood against change)

If it was a carnivore campaigning against FG it might carry more weight (" I eat animal products but care about how they arrive at the table")


Your history suggests you are against the consumption of ALL animal products. So some people are wary of you and your motives, even if, in this case, there MIGHT be some merit

"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..."


DJKQ, I have no idea where the Victoria pub is (back street pub in Nunhead?) nor who the owners are. However, assuming you are correct that it was a derogatory term, presumably it is accurate?

now that is just RIDICULOUS. What POSSIBLE motive could Tom have in his campaign against FG? Do YOU think he is planning on SECRETLY turning everyone into a VEGAN? How will he do that? Surely it is possible for vegans and carnivores to find SOME common ground when it comes to certain practices such as the PRODUCTION METHODS of FG?

FWIW, which is evidentially exceedingly little, and in this context very probably of very limited relevance, I do recall seeing on the box, a long time ago, a clip of a French farmer's wife personally bulk feeding a goose, and I don't remember reacting as if there had been disturbing distress on the part of the goose, and I do remember thinking of her attitude as caring.

I know Katie Numeros. Where WAS the flippin peg indeed?


In my defence, yesterday was well bizarre-o.


I spotted one of The Chapman brothers outside of their new show ( meh ) as you do


I later left work in Hoxton Sq. & upon mounting my bicycle I spotted a crusty/hippie chap climbing a ladder with a "Golden Mushroom" under his arm. He then placed/glued said Mushroom atop a building.


I proceeded to Shoreditch station where to my supise I saw her enter the carriage, so getting the photo was a golden/ginger opportunity & the peg idea slipped from my now racing mind.


Later she disembarked at Wapping; so far so good. However, a group of excited young people then got on the train at the next stop. Oh, so full of joy were they that the took the floor and started preaching the word of GOD.


Did you know; Jesus is your Oyster card to heaven ?


Really, I heard that and much much more on my journey home last night. Mind you once i'd settled I couldn't resist joining in. A very vocal young man took up the floor from his friend.


"You are on a journey to hell people" he then proceeded to spell out the very word...H.E.L.L. at which point I piped up, adding the final "O"...."HELLO" as I did a very camp wave.


The other passengers laughed with gusto, the train stopped and as if by magic/gods hand, my station had arrived.


I left to great applause ( and a little more preaching ).



As I said, most bizarre....


And how as your day?


NETTE:-S

I can't Thomas. I don't buy newspapers because of the trees felled for the production of newsprint. I'm a bit surprised you're encouraging it!

But do the white ones taste better?


I was distracted by this article http://www.southlondonpress.co.uk/News.cfm?id=26324&headline=Calls%20for%20action%20against%20%E2%80%98fearless,%20vicious%20foxes%E2%80%99 - plentiful and free range but is it wrong to eat a fellow carnivore?

Do you always carry PEGS in your handbag? Any particular type that work BETTER than others?

With automatic TOP UP facility no doubt?

I wish (to DOG) that I had been on your train yesterday (and that I could STOP talking like ALAN)! I think you attract the BIZARRO :)

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
