I have now crossed you off my Xmas card list.


To do this I first had to create a list (as it didn't exist) of forumites I might send cards to, find a site that would enable me to write personalised message-cards to every one on the list (including you), choose appropriately moving and/or witty and/or corny-schmaltzy images and have them compiled into a final list all ready to be sent around Yuletide.


Then I crossed you off.


Not just deleted - I printed the list out and scored through your name with a black biro.


Several times.

Oh dear- and I thought we were getting on so well.

this isnt a thread about likes is it? why would i want to derail my own thread


you want a thread about music you like, then start one. mark my words, you will soon tire of groovy dads invading it, posturing and flexing their intellectual and cultural muscles, making nick cave puns and banging on about dubstep or some other toss that makes them look like bearded middle class onanists

I don't particularly like this thread. It is complete and utter fecking bollocks and started by a another multi pseudonymous poster that has been done over and over again in the past on this forum. "Ooh, I don't fecking like that, well I fecking do". Yawn. Zzzzzzzzz.


Though it hasn't stopped me from contributing and I rather like Snorky's anger and penchant for winding up the twats, of whom there are many, but not me., for I am wonderful and gorgeous and you're not. So there.

I have no desire to start another thread.


I was just making conversation.


What was I thinking?

No I haven't but I've seen 'The Point' Harry Nilsson.

.. but If everything else has a point, well then I must have one, too.

She's a bona-fide musical genius and 'Ys' is one of the best albums ever made. But yes, she can sound like a duck being strangled, albeit being strangled in tune.


Ys really is a masterpiece though.

    • Wow I had no idea they give you 5% in perfume for your accommodation. You're right, I need to travel more. 
    • Do none of you go abroad.  Tourist taxes are really common in continental Europe and do vary a lot city by city. They are collected by the hotels/rental apartments. They are usually a  tiny part of your holiday costs.  In Narbonne recently we paid €1.30 per person per night.  The next town we went to charge 80 cents per person per night. By comparison Cologne is 5% of your accomodation.
    • Hey Sue, I was wrong - I don't think it would just be for foreign tourists. So yeah I assume that, if someone lives in Lewisham and wants to say the night in southwark, they'd pay a levy.  The hotels wouldn't need to vet anyone's address or passports - the levy is automatically added on top of the bill by every hotel / BnB / hostel and passed on to Southwark. So basically, you're paying an extra two quid a night, or whatever, to stay in this borough.  It's a great way to drive footfall... to the other London boroughs.  https://www.ukpropertyaccountants.co.uk/uk-tourist-tax-exploring-the-rise-of-visitor-levies-and-foreign-property-charges/
    • Pretty much, Sue, yeah. It's the perennial, knotty problem of imposing a tax and balancing that with the cost of collecting it.  The famous one was the dog licence - I think it was 37 1/2 pence when it was abolished, but the revenue didn't' come close to covering the administration costs. As much I'd love to have a Stasi patrolling the South Bank, looking for mullet haircuts, unshaven armpits, overly expressive hand movements and red Kicker shoes, I'm afraid your modern Continental is almost indistinguishable from your modern Londoner. That's Schengen for you. So you couldn't justify it from an ROI point of view, really. This scheme seems a pretty good idea, overall. It's not perfect, but it's cheap to implement and takes some tax burden off Southwark residents.   'The Man' has got wise to this. It's got bad juju now. If you're looking to rinse medium to large amounts of small denomination notes, there are far better ways. Please drop me a direct message if you'd like to discuss this matter further.   Kind Regards  Dave
