You say this like you know nothing of her but in the 'about this forum' section on the thread regarding banned forumites you claim she is a friend of yours if memory serves correctly. Must just pop over and look.

An article in todays Gaurdian has said that the victim was known to her attacker, who was also female. The murder also took place a few streets away from where Home Secretary Jacqui Smith used to live. This is the Home Secretary who sparked controversy by saying she would not walk alone after dark in 'parts' of London.
MadWorld, no there hasn't been any futher developments to the case, although the police apparently knows who stabbed the victim, Dee Willis. I expect we won't hear much of this story now as things like this seem to be happening almost daily in London.

David what do you think about that question I posed you?

sorry to veer of topic again but in reply to Natasha: As someone who is new to the forum I'm not sure how you can assert that my memory is incorrect 'again'. However in the thread regarding banned forumites you comment as if you have been speaking to Spangles and I quote "She believes it is because she called Sean McGabbhan's postings 'insipid'." and "She says she received no warnings about her 'behaviour'." and lastly, "I have it on good authority that she is".

All quotes sound very much like you have been in contact with said person. Also the tone of your last comment to me sounds very much like something she would have said so I'm with Keef and think that you are in fact Spangles.

Over to you.

"a few streets away..." how many is a few, it's more like a mile away because she lives on my street, Ivydale Road, that would make it about 15-20 streets away by my reckoning. ;-). These articles don't do their research very well do they

Funny you should say that as Ronnie(not so much Reggie) was a great Student of Philosophical anthropology.He often attempted to unify disparate ways of understanding behaviour of humans in the Bethnal Green Road as both creatures of their social environments and creators of their own values. Reggie,however believed that,although the majority of philosophers throughout the history of philosophy can be said to have a distinctive "anthropology" that undergirds their thought, philosophical anthropology itself, as a specific discipline in philosophy, arose within the later modern period as an outgrowth from developing methods in philosophy, such as phenomenology and existentialism. The former, which draws its energy from methodical reflection of human experience from the philosopher's own personal experience, naturally aided the emergence of philosophical explorations of human nature and the human condition which is why they were forced to remove Jack The Hat McVitie from lifes little equation...

Not many people know that....

"Bozo"??...Wasn't he the geezer in U2???:).

Stab victim fights for life

Thursday, 3 July 2008

A man in his early 20s is said to be in a life-threatening condition after being stabbed in south London. Officers were called to Beulah Crescent in Thornton Heath, south London, just before 2pm today after reports of a knife attack.

An air ambulance was scrambled but the victim was eventually taken to hospital by road after being treated at the scene.

A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: "Shortly before 2pm we were called to reports of a stabbing in Beulah Crescent, Thornton Heath.

"He has gone to a south London hospital and is in a life-threatening condition." ......


To add to the New Cross debacle we now have this tonight!!

Would you mind awfully if I stay in the 'burbs for a tad longer...

I tried to make it as relevant to the "Chaps" as possible:)...actually a Freudian slip here as I,accidently,typed in "Chaos" instead of "Chaps"..think I was right the first time:)

"Those Were The Days"...Now you are thinking of Dear Mary Hopkin...

    • A Google search brought up eleven Chango  branches, although they don't all seem to be listed on their website. In the order they came up: East Dulwich, Clapham Common, Mayfair, Wandsworth, City of London, Wimbledon,  Parsons Green, Kensington, Highgate, Richmond, Hampstead. I think it is the positioning of this new branch that has mostly got to me. I accept that they would have to go for where a space became vacant, but Lordship Lane is pretty long, even just the part with shops in,  and choosing to  open a stone's throw away from Chacarero seems mean, to say the least. I wonder if they have made contact with Chacarero. It would be nice to think they had (in a friendly way, obviously!) As regards the apparently  marketing spiel, at least one of the online reviewers also refers to a Chango branch (the Parsons Green one in this case) as a "gem". Probably just coincidence and a word in common use to describe such places. I wouldn't know. I'm ancient 🤣
    • I like empanadas. I don't think Chango is a massive chain - it's got a few stores all in London I believe (stand to be corrected if I've got that wrong). I don't see a problem with them opening on the Lane personally. I really like Chacarero, but that doesn't mean that they should be immune from competition - if they're successful and open a couple more stores, are we then meant to stop supporting them for being a 'chain'?  That opening post does sound a lot like marketing spiel though. Is the OP perhaps connected to the new business I wonder?
    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has.
