I stopped watching the British one as I can't stand Alan Sugar any more. The American one seems more exciting and I live in hope that one day I'll overcome the physical impossibilities of that wig that for now simply looks like two pieces of shredded wheat. Is it combed forwards or backwards, left or right?

Don't be a maverick, Howard, people who are mavericks are all tossers.


I would, seriously, disagree with that statement,


The uniqueness, diversity, eccentricity and individuality of people is what makes a Nation so appealling.


It would be a boring place if we all conformed and thought and acted in a similar fashion.


I mean I'm a "maverick" in my eyes and, probably, a "tosser" in the eyes of one or two on here....but thats not because I'm a Maverick:)

Perhaps I should have written, "people who THINK they are mavericks" are all tossers. I don't think anyone could argue with that one. Anyone who thinks they are dangerous/ original/ cool/ quirky/ maverick is almost 99% guaranteed not to be.



I once actually met someone whose first name was Maverick. I don't know what his parents were thinking, it's like calling a girl Pretty and then she turns out not to be and suffers for the rest of her life as a result. The worst thing was I was introduced to him as a potential love interest with the words "I think you'll really like him", leading me to seriously question my entire sense of being when he (inevitably) turned out to be a massive twit. Within about 20 seconds of meeting him he started pontificating loudly about the movie script he'd written about a heist that goes wrong and seemed oddly offended when I said, "Oh, you mean, exactly like Reservoir Dogs?" (This was about 6 months after the film had come out)


He could not have been less of a maverick if he tried, and I hated him instantly.

      Fireworks

      By Sue · Posted

      I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By Sue · Posted

      Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?

      Recommendation for a decorator in Dulwich/Peckham/Nunhead - Kam 07949 507412

      By Charlie15 · Posted

      Kam was with us last week to wallpaper a bedroom. He was a pleasure to deal with and did a fantastic job - very neat and matched the tricky pattern very well. Would certainly use again.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By TittyMaster · Posted

      What a bunch of pieholes. 2025 and you peasants have nothing to be grateful for. I have been inside the library recently and honestly the old girl is crying for a facelift, the goddamn carpet looks like it survived the world war and some. The Library is one of the oldest in Southwark and you are crying about a study place? What a bunch of bullshit. You have libraries all around you for your kids to go their studying you rotten sausage. How about be happy that the library is going to look absolutely stunning rather than be a whining bitch about it   Also, I have been told that the staffs have to work in the smaller libraries together. How do you think they feel?
