The Cromwell thing, I get a little 'shruggy' about. The 'Paddy' remark causes some mild lip pursing.

But if she ever uses the word 'Micks', I swear on my copy of Rum Sodomy And The Lash, I'll be confronting her and insisting she tread on the tail of my coat.

There are limits.

Oh dear, I am so very sorry indeed. I thought that as you Irish are all so very jolly, what with your downing arms lately and practically being British anyhow. I apologise profusely, can I buy any of you a drink at the next forum drinks? I know how you all simply love your Guinness!

Don't worry Mr Tony.London Suburbs, I understand that the Irish must be feeling genuinely threatened. I hear the Eastern European's stole their building jobs and now the Swan in Stockwell is set to turn into a Polish bar. The Irish shop on Lorship lane is soon to be taken over by a famous chain of Kielbasa sausage shops. I haven't met an Irish assistant in Greggs the bakers or nurse in Kings College hospital for years.


The times are changing sweetie...

You are probably trying to be funny DM but all you really are is patronising. I wouldn't accept a drink from an airhead such as yourself. Has having your own website gone to your head that you now have to live up to some fictitious person you have created. I don't drink Guinness by the way.

Declan sweetie, how could having a website gone to my head? I don't understand. I have had my blog for almost as long as this forum has been up and running lovley boy.


Is it not true that during the late 80's and early 90's, those training as nurses in Kings College Hospital (then Normanby College of Nursing) consisted of 95% southern Irish females who drank at The Swan in Stockwell? How is that patronising?

Jack Charlton in my 'umble opinion the worst Manager(or certainly one of the worst) in my 47 years of watching The BEAUTIFUL Game..not Jack's Ugly efforts(Sheffield Wednesday being a perfect example)...shame he ever became a Manager, with his little Black Book(for those who remember such things)..


JC's famous quote on MOTD.."I'd like to get 21 0/0 Away Draws all season)

Sod The Entertainment(Thats my quote)...

You need to go back to the question you asked in the first place to realise your question has an incorrect answer. I'm not sure there is a correct one. Northern Ireland had no affinity with Jack Charlton.


And TLS may be slightly embarrassed if I mention that Peter Osgood is unlikely to still have the bruises!

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By Sue · Posted

      How on earth can someone like this be allowed to continue as a solicitor? Can't be just be struck off, or the equivalent?

      Is the Choumert Road bus stop open yet following the ending of pavement works. Thanks

      By richard tudor · Posted

      There are no road works in front of Cod fellas and yesterday when I requested a stop there the driver went straight past and never stopped untill Avondale Riss. As cars have to stop because of the lights why can busses not do this? 1 minute Bloodly mindedness.

      Advice on dealing with a solicitor who will not use modern means of communication

      By malumbu · Posted

      Thanks all, our hope was (despite the diminishing estate) he would get on with it.  Progress is glacial, it's been two years since probate was granted, that's two cold and damp winters with no heating, and not surprisingly a pipe burst. He's blames the issues on the estate agent, who separately had a dispute with him, he had a wobbly when one of the beneficiaries spoke to the estate agent.  Separately he said it was the family's fault for letting the property get into a poor condition.  It was dated, but certainly not in poor condition. There are two five star reviews on Google, and five one star: ** WARNING** This solicitor firm has to be one of the worst I have encountered. The solicitor is prehistoric in his practices and will carry out work at his own snails pace, the fax machine he uses gets turned off at 2 pm and its near impossible to get him on the phone. STAY AWAY, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, check the solicitors ombudsman, this firm has previous bad practice recorded.   Disgusting under no circumstances use this solicitor.For over 10 years he has not carried out the terms of a Will he has not re-invested money but has retained it.  He writes letters which are pure "Flannel" excuses for doing nothing.  You have been warned   shocking experience, delayed the whole process, told other side solicitors to not contact him as he feels pressured etc. never use.   Not fit for 21st century. No website, no email address, no electronic transfer. Very slow, very little communication.   Was not a pleasant experience dealing with this firm
