And don't go and see the new film 'Gravity' - that cost $100m to make.


Where will it end?

What sort of masochist watches commercials out of choice these days?


With PVR machines costing less than a hundred pounds there really is no need to spoonfeed lukewarm diarrhoea into your mouth and say mmmmmmmmmm.


Quite frankly, the advert sucks satan's scaly pecker - but will no doubt strike a chord with anyone who beat a path to Kensington Palace and lay a rose, blubbering like a big baby etc etc

You don't like the advert then?

It's like peering into a toilet after the flush to watch a turd go down - and finding yourself overcome with emotion by the smoothness of its removal. I'm mean, yeah, you could - but why would you want to, given the choice?


It's slick, but then by christ it should be for a cool million.

You *Bob*?



I have an excuse: I am required to watch all manner of shite because it's part of my job. So that should I find myself sitting in Adam&Eve/DDB in front of someone wearing fashion victim sunglasses with a 'creative box' of play lego on their desk - and they ask me "hey, did you see our JL spot???" then instead of saying "no, I fast-forward all adverts because they bring nothing of interest to my life" I am able to say "YES! My body was enveloped in a curious warm glow, my heart melted - and I felt compelled to purchase a Nespresso machine and a faux-silk throw from a chain retailer sporting a slogan nobody actually understands - even the staff."

    • I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.   
    • Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.
    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.
