naah only joking.

but there is..little events that come together and if its you in the right place at the right time.badda bing!

so here is the small story of the magic bincolulars.

My 5 years old feels ready for some binos and with xmas on the horizon, well closer actually I finally stepped out to go buy.

had a great day actually, oysters at the zenoria warehouse joint,cool dude there,did most of my shopping in the place.

But really i was still confused by my previous experience. See, I went to the hellhole that is argos on the rye lane.

I couldnt face going through the catalogues and my friend had said 'youll get em in there' but as we didnt get out the herne till 6, just didnt make it yesterday. I was just about to get on a train to town when i spotted curry's a bit further down.

Thought id pop in. Asked a young lady, a bright eyed large girl with quite honestly the worst 'promotional' t shirt ive ever seen. Sony panasonic, all the names on the one shirt. That in itself was odd. She says' yes we have binoculars' great! and there we are in front of a shelf load. Awesome. I pointed to a pair of quite pro looking black 'bushnells' 49.99 quid. There were cheaper ones but i always go by 'if I want them myself' standards. Not the 14 quid ones. I asked to have a go. Sure she said. I took the lens caps off and looked out the door. whoah! they were good! Im thinking well lets see what some of the others are like but i like these. I heard a voice say 'they are 7 p'. I kind of ignored it. I thought I swear thats my girl there just said that, I looked up at her and sge was saying "they are 7p". Feeling outrage i said what? to look through them is 7p? she said 'no' they are 7p.' I actually said 'am i awake?' She said 'yes'. In fact she also siad 'if you dont buy them im going to'. I now know Ive accidently eaten acid I didnt know I still have and am tripping my nuts off. Thats when she swung the flatscreen of the till so i could see for myself it did indeed say 0.07 pence. I have the magic binos and a printed reciept from curry's says 0.07 pence.. i said to the sparkly eyed black skinned 19 year old sweetheart, 'you actually are father christmas in disguise arent you!' felt like the oddest thing Id ever said to anyone .She laughed and said, there's a few items here we are not restocking and so we are selling them off cheap.i spotted these myself yesterday.


Go Curry's people, there could be more! digi cmaeras are very well discounted in there. good ones..

Not being a grump, but sounds like a bit of an error! If their price ends is xxx.x9 then it's their retail price and you can negotiate a bit. If it's xxx.x8 then it's first stage of markdown, and no discounts allowed. The xxx.x7 is the final discount price... Good on yer though!

    • Oh now you're coming over all defensive. What happened to the nice Sue, because since the early part of the year your approach seems to have changed and you've become much more challenging. No you have not broken any rules and even if you had why would I involve Admin, that's a ludicrous thing to say.  Take care Sue. 
    • I was the opposite of you. I never felt particularly happy around Brixton late at night - I didn't know it that well. Do you remember the name of the late- night Irish pub opposite the railway arches near the BR station? Was it Mulligan's? Brannigan's? To be fair, until the East London Line extension, Rye Lane walking south wasn't a favourite of mine after dark either. The only pub left on there was The Hope, which was in the other direction. It felt very bleak. I think that makes a huge difference. When The Gowlett was boarded up, Adys Road felt very different. It's like a beacon now. Pub violence does seem to have had its day in inner London. Maybe it's a result of the disappearance of pool tables, flat-roofed pubs and cheap Stella offers. I bet you could still find a Saturday night kick-up in New Addington or the  Becontree estate in Dagenham. Definitely. Pubs next to stations, kebab shops and ironically named nightclubs are all to be avoided in smaller places. The weirdest place I've ever had random trouble was in a club in St. Ives in Cambridgeshire.  I think it was called 'Options'. It was the only club there.  See also 'Jekylls' nightclub in Hyde, Manchester - a truly dreadful place where getting thrown out for fighting was infinitely preferable to spending the evening in there and coming out stinking of stale chip fat. I took a kicking in 'Kingsway Kebabs' in Swansea after a night in 'The Aviary' (so named because it was 'full of birds') nightclub. But that wasn't so random. It was a local girl, who gave me a leathering because I'd run off for a large chicken doner, rather than dance with her to 'Criticize' by Alexander O'Neal. Sorry, Sue, I've digressed a little.  To answer your question, I think London feels relatively safe overall.  
    • I’m happy to report that I got a much earlier prescription review than the 22 September.  Not sure what that was down to but I was sent a text to say to expect a telephone call on a certain day and time for earlier this week.  It was with a pharmacist and not a doctor.  I was later told to expect a telephone call on call on both the 19 and 23 September.  They are really pushing the boat out. Not complaining. Also, Dr. Shivji is back working.
    • "Firing"? "Demanding"? A "habit on here of 'demanding' answers"?  Crikey. I didn't say you "should" do anything! This is a forum.  For discussion. I will say whatever I like and ask whatever I like,  within the forum rules, as can anybody else  Please move your issues with me to the thread I have started in the lounge on feeling safe in London, because this is a thread about a burglary in Lacon Road. If you continue to post your complaints about me on this thread, I shall not respond, so do feel free. Or if you think I have broken any forum rules, do feel free to report me to admin.
