I'm not quite that bad, but I do have long (and different) wish lists at both Amazon UK and Amazon US. Since I'm (apparently) difficult to buy presents for, it helps family and friends but I do make a point of saying that they don't have to actually buy the items through Amazon.


I also have long "wants lists" with eBay, GEMM, Musicstack and other smaller record dealers' websites.

Yes

It is crazy and a sign that you are infected with "Affluenza" - the need to keep up with the Jones which ultimatly makes us twice as prone to depression, Anxiety and addition then people in developing nations.....


Personally I would recommend reading Affluenza by Oliver Jame (ISBN : 9780091900113) - currently available at Amazon (Doh - 232 items !!!) (6)

Nah, LuvPeckham - it's already on the list!

Hmm... but what about his follow up book - The Selfish Capitalist.


"The Selfish Capitalist" provides more detailed substantiation for the claims made in "Affluenza". It looks deeper into the origins of the virus and outlines the political, economic and social climate in which it has grown.A modern-day "The State We're In"

Selfish Capitalist at Amazon


:-S


(sadly I also have bought both of these books from Amazon before realising the irony of buying them in the first place !!)

    • You are best going to Battersea and adopting a dog. You’ll be able to meet different dogs and work with the staff to understand the breeds, temperaments etc.  Training is ongoing. If you get a very well trained puppy and don’t continue and maintain the training you will soon have an untrained puppy.  You have to put the work in.  Are you ready for this? It’s a lifetimes commitment and you don’t get to walk away or change your mind. Maybe register with Borrow My Doggy for six months and get to know local dogs. I’d happily meet you for a dog walk if it will help?
    • The Veolia teams that have serviced Underhill for the last few years (certainly before lockdown) have generally been very tidy. A few spillages but not noticeably many, and often from very overfilled bins. I have seen them take brooms to sweep up real accidental spillages. There are problems with fox or cat scattered rubbish from accessible bins, and from food wrappers discarded by passers bye, but that is neither Veolia's nor the council's fault. 
    • Hello We are looking to get a dog of 1 year plus - know how hard puppy training is and want to avoid it! Also keen to know dog’s personality before we jump in as friends have had very difficult experiences with puppies who turned out to be tricky.  Ideally would like to adopt but also open to buying - does anyone have any ideas of where one might buy a dog?  thanks in advance! 
    • I think you have been very kind towards the the council.  And even kinder in your description of Peckham High Street (LOL). Peckham High Street Rye Lane is awful.  I know it is a very controversial opinion   but I am happy that some parts are going to developed and re built.   The dirty pavements, graffiti shops that put their stock all over pavements and racing cyclists make it not an enjoyable place to be in.  In the old days any business would have to keep their premises in good order.   I am much happier being near a simple bit of over greenery or weed.   It is much cleaner and feels safer to be next to.   Some parts of Peckham are plagued by Zombie like people who have fallen prey to substance abuse.  And I don't see the council putting much effort into helping these poor lost souls.
