Sorry but who's a 'blow-in?'

I'm a Londoner born and bred and my Father grew up in Norwood.

If you call me a 'blow-in' because I've lived here four years and moved from Notting-Hill (where I was born and lived for 50 years) because I was priced out of the area then fine...I guess I am a blow-in.

I must confess if I won the lottery I'd move back to W11 in a heartbeat-Its much less up its arse in many ways.

and weirdly less smug

It seems you can't help yourself being spiteful for no apparent reason, there really is no need.

I've had enough of Louisa's unfriendly comments, it's not what the forum's about, it should be a friendly place and her comments are sniping remarks which are unwanted. I've constrained her to the Lounge so other users in the other sections are free to talk without the constant blow-in/class comments.

Because she's not done anything that deserves a total ban, the Lounge is a more libertarian area where people tolerate her more. I'm just trying to keep the place friendly and welcoming, of course there's going to be disagreements and discussion in the General ED issues/gossip section but repetitive put downs are simply off putting to most. I don't want that any more.

Thank god for that.

A moment to regret Louisa -- who although cranky, and contrary, and reliably (predictably) opinionated, also posted with wit. I never thought that she made the Forum's tone unfriendly. But then again, she never swivelled to bring me into the crosshairs of her gunsight. *** Those who exasperate most often bring most to the discussion. That's how I'll remember Louisa... and I hope that she will return.

    • General view is it is tokenistic from Iran, not looking to harm life but show that they are retaliating. Same thing happened after the earlier Israeli attack back in the distant part. There will be debate, even at the top of the Iranian authorities.  Israel even without the US hold the cards.  Although are in this position due to decades of US support. As per my post on the other thread much of the reason the world is in this position is botched US post second world war middle East policy.  Supporting both sides in the Iran/Iraq war being particularly striking Trump mark 1 emboldened the right wing in Israel, perhaps pushed Hammas to more extreme action, and led to the Iranians going rogue on nukes.  I think that the latter was to put them in a stronger position in opening up grade, a country not able to sell vast quantities of oil ,(and gas?) But how does the world move on from this mess? By all means give other views to my simplistic ones   
    • The NYT ( that right wing alarmist rag) has reported that Iran told Qatar so they could prepare. Iran and Q are on good terms so Q won’t retaliate, esp as Iran is only targeting US bases, which everyone knew to expect.     If anything, it draws Qatar into the dialogue and Q will privately be urging Iran to back down. 
    • If the Qatari's decide to retaliate then it's all going off...but I suspect the Iranians are hoping for this - one inaccurate missile and the Qatari's may have to. I think the Iranian leadership is working on fast-tracking their own demise and the Americans and Israeli's planning for regime change, maybe with the many political prisoners the Israelis tried to free from the Elvin prison today. What a mess but clearly Iran was becoming a big threat to not only Israel but many of the other Gulf States and was clearly doing scary stuff with nuclear weapons that required action.
    • I can't find any references to an attack on a British base. where do you find one?
