Not sure than the position in the table is a reflection of his talent, I think Sanchez is a steal at the price we paid for him. Great talent, and our best signing since Henry and Bergkamp.

Basically a perfect microcosm of all that is wrong with the modern world


a) twitter 'storm' as news (or 'miss miss, barry called you a slag')

in fact b) twitter

c) the democratisation of stupidity

d) people sharing the stupidest stuff without thinking

but most of all

e) people getting so fecking offended by everything the whole time, usually hypothetically on other people's behalf.


Pikeys the lot of them!!!!

He didn't really understand that a minorly crass attempt at anti-racism had clearly been edited in order to make it racist.

That makes him a bit of an idiot, albeit in this case a vaguely well meaning idiot.


None of which is really the point.


To reiterate AM's point, given his background any attempt at a racism smear should be laughable, but never underestimate people's ability to be offended on the off chance that someone somewhere may theoretically be!!

I have never agreed with the defence of - I can say that 'cos I'm half black/jewish/irish / my mums a muslim etc


all the more reason for not joining in with racist rubbish


I'm not making this point on the balotelli issue (on which I agree with El Pibe) - just a general thought cos it annoys me when people defend themselves in this way - its not a justification.

Today at work this colleague was horrified that the most popular boys name in 2014 was Muhammad or so she read. She didn't want to discuss it with me without my having said anything meaningful anyway. Anyway I had to leave early to go to the dentist but found this article and sent it to her:


http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/ampp3d/muhammad-isnt-uks-most-popular-4726470


I didn't get any reply. By the way my appointment was with the beautiful Dr.Islam.


The question is, is it safe for me to go to work tomorrow?


* When I say she didn't want to discuss it, it appeared to me that it was because she didn't want anyone to disagree with her that this was happening in her beloved country.

good article AM, not entirely sure why its in here.

But yes, all its revealing of is a tremendous lack of imagination among muslims when naming their kids ;)


Jes?s has massively fallen out of favour in Spain, though Mar?a still dominates...spaniards do tend to obsess about their mothers so no surprise the holy mother still wins!!

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
