References suggesting that perambulators are some kind of socioeconomic indicator that can be used to measure property price, organic produce consumption, political affiliation, latent racism, class prejudice, newspapers readership, the downfall of civilized society and the onset of Armageddon or any other contrived conclusions other than that they are a traditionally convenient means of transporting a young child.

Absolutely not Steve, do not mess with the Eye, it's a touchstone in an ever-changing world. Get glasses or a magnifying glass.

Heed the fate that became Melody Maker when it became an A4 Smash Hits style glossy. Bit the dust it did.

I don't think old 'Slopper' Hislop would contemplate any changes, but please don't go putting ideas into his head.

Stand in the queue at Sainsburys, M&S, Tesco etc. with a ?1.85 sandwich in their hand for 10 mins, looking at the ?1.85 label and arrive at the till, only to be told by the cashier that in fact it IS ?1.85 and then rummage around in their stupid trophy handbag for the said ?1.85 as though its a bl**dy surprise!

Pay for a ?1.85 sandwich with a switch/maestro/visa card.


That's all.....for now.

I restate. I wish they were that poetic. If they could really quote the Messiah, or Blake, or the German Romantics, I could forgive them. But they all have some crazy born-again tediously expressed texts in rotten English.


One can forgive so much for poetry, for art...

    • Not sure what you mean by "involved with firework enjoyment"? I'm all for others enjoying themselves, and I like fireworks, but if they were limited to public displays then people could still enjoy them? Having said that, I see that tickets for the London New Year fireworks start at £20 (Dawson's Heights it is,  then!) The fireworks in Brockwell Park used to be free. I don't know why those don't happen any more?
    • Really interesting discussion here. It's difficult to respect the views of people who support Farage, Trump, Musk etc. Why should we, when their views are deplorable. But then that exact 'deplorable' label, as we know, is counterproductive and drives people to double down / switch off to more progressive views. How do you actually help change minds? We're currently spiralling into dark places culturally and politically imo. The amount of open racism, even amongst front line politicians here and in the US is astounding to me. Feels like we're going backwards. The influence of social media and the tech billionaires / bros, is a powerful and largely malignant one. There was an enlightening (and frightening) bit of journalism by Sky this week about Musk's influence on British politics. He has a strange obsession with the UK and London in particular (as do many on the US right wing): https://news.sky.com/story/the-x-effect-how-elon-musk-is-boosting-the-british-right-13464487
    • Looking for any tickets to the Dulwich Hamlets game against St Albans today!
    • I'm going to Paris with friends, staying in the 3rd arrondissement. I used to go a lot but that was ages ago so wondered if anyone has any 'insider tips'? We are interested in small art galleries, independent shops, good value cafes and restaurants that may not feature in all the many online articles or guides, thanks!
