@JackBlocker ughhh! good luck with that, be sure to don your condescending hat won't you! haha :)"

Twitter exposes people as arsehole shock!


I used to think Twitter was just a place for solipsists and narcissists to wank in the public domain and hence served no useful purpose.

Now I realise that giving solipsists and narcissists a place to wank publicly and alert us all to their onanistic bent is exactly why twitter is useful!

IF you could be bothered (like me) to read his blog, then you'd come across this jem


It's a pizza review for The Gowlett

Though, to his credit he did finish like this





I'm sure ol-jack/foodwasteman/babyrea will be sorely missed on here


(what a c-nut)



NETTE:-S

I think it was this lazy cliched article that caused a stir, courting comments such as "You are Bang on about the less than yummy mummies and their evil spawn!!!!", where she revelaed herself to be a firstclass twonk, unless I remember wrong.


But that's the privilege of youth, to be able to arrogantly look down on everyone and think you have all the answers.

I'm sure once she actually grows up and realise she has none of them, her writing will improve, rather than be the proverbial and aforementioned "shit smeared mutual backslappery turdfest".

Ach not really - it started long before that when she posted a perfectly reasonable question about the Palmerston, but in doing so linked to her blog, which one or two posters (Oh OK, *Bob*) interpreted as "Hey - look at my blog".


It wasn't a particularly warm welcome initially, but in fact that blew over after about 5 posts and it quickly settled down to people either saying, "yes I agree" or "no, I don't" and all was fine, until the Palmerston itself posted a rather snitty reply accusing her of amatuerism, at which point 2-3 of Helen's mates registered and piled in. One of them made a crack on Twitter about all visiting the place and giving it shit reviews.


So then there was some more snittery, and then all the usual mentals and hard of understanding piled in and before long there was a textbook nine page jerkfest where any original point had been long lost.


Foodstories seemed to think she was under some sort of sustained attack but she wasn't - plenty agreed with her, in fact. It just wasn't quite the "you go darling, that looks totes amaze" circle therapy of foodie blogdom.


The "feckinkids" article was much later, and somehow spawned some truly mental EDF batshittery about parents needing to be teetotal at all times, or some such, from one particular poster. But FoodStories had nothing to do with that - someone else linked to her article and then some absolute bellends went at it.


(BTW, I think this wins me the official "Forum sad bastard" badge, if you please?)

Hmm, american studies will do that to you

*looks uncomfortable, makes little figures of 8 in dirt with outstretched toe*


I did stick with history on the whole if it's any consolation....errrr to me.


Wholeheartedly agree about Bukowski and Burroughs (lets throw in Kerouac whilst we're at it), though I have a soft spot for H.S.T. especially on the campaign trail.

Kerouac can fuck off as well


HST produced a great deal of petty hateful shite - too much time on his own, too much liquor and too many guns. The campaign trail n hells angels stuff was ok, but was of its time. You have to wade though the trough of liquid manure to find a comsuable nugget of savoury goodness.


but what do I know. I dont even get irony.

    • Thank you for the feedback! Helps to see we're not alone. The only good experience we had was Modern House. Anyone tried Strike/Purple Bricks/Yopa? How did it go? Anything to be mindful of?
    • Best experience we had was with Modern House. The rest of the agents around the area are appalling.... They just want their commission and not interested in getting a good deal. You'd be lucky if they pick up the phone...
    • I’d like to echo the positive comments about Trelco. I discovered that the stopcock on the rising main was leaking and was damaging the flooring in the utility room. Not having seen this thread, or any reviews for that matter,  I picked Trelco  as it was the nearest to me. It was a gamble but goodness it paid off. James was responsive and clear in what he offered. His colleague Andy replaced the offending stopcock and put in a lever valve to allow me to shut off the water easily when I go away. He did a great job, neat and tidy, he was cheerful, friendly and professional. All this within a day of contacting them. Although not an emergency it needed resolution quickly. The price charged was very reasonable indeed, especially considering the quality of the service. I am so pleased to have found such an excellent plumber. 
    • Hi Kate I have 3 medium to large good quality cardboard  boxes for you if you want them and some green bubble wrap to go with them. I live SE15 3AY near Harris Girls school and in all day if you want to collect today or weekend OK too. WhatsApp me on 07538164536 Paddy
