Hell yeah!

It is the list titled 'potential collaboraters' though - not the one titled 'agitators' - so you are safe!

Considering the ones he didn't disassociate himself from, how was was the *Junglebook* tweet? First I've heard of it.


Interestingly, one of the White Supremacist groups was posting furiously on the group page on Monday night. At the time I just assumed they were making the most of an open thread with lots of passing people...

Do you jerk your knee?

Do you jump on bandwagons?

Do you mindlessly follow crowds without stopping for one moment to consider what you're doing?

Do you have overly simplistic answers to incredibly complex problems?


Then you need a Facebook petition.

As undeniably inflammatory as the account holder's comments were, I don't think you can justify all the scorn being poured on Cameron from the left-wing media. He has to make some decisions and allegiances that, with the benefit of hindsight, aren't as informed as he would've preferred, and will occasionally backfire on him. I suppose you could draw a reasonably sound parallel with Manchester Metropolitan, Teesside, Liverpool John Moores, Glamorgan and Queen Margaret (Edinburgh) universities entering into sponsorship agreements with the brutal and oppresive regime in Libya. The negative coverage has also backfired on them, too.

Or a riot.

I now visit my rather lame Facebook page about three times a year and it's going to die very soon. Strangely, I found I started actively disliking lots of people whom I actually like and respect in real life.


You can be too connected. It's days are numbered. And if you are an EDF hipster you really have no excuses. It's evil.

    • Nice to see the property is going to reopen with a Newish business, good luck to them.
    • Of course they do, watching cookery shows and buying cook books is a national pastime. However you raise a good point that some people claim they are time poor and end up eating out / takeaways as sometimes a quick macciedee is cheaper and easier than making a quick nutrious family meal.  However to put it in balance, not many people have the knowledge, confidence and time to cook Persian so good luck to team persepolis on this venture. 
    • London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom. 
    • This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.
