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 :)

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
