You forgot the no redundancies requirement and insistence to reinstate two employees rightfully suspended ;-)

I think they should get on their collective bike and find alternative employment. Workers rights, what are they thinking of? They'll be wanting time off to die next.

Quite right chick!


Various friends had Fathers who were Printers in Fleet Street and they said it was like a "Holiday Camp" until she ruined at allby forcing only 3 Men to do the work of one Man, it used to be SIX Men b4 she interfered.


Same on The Docks the old Dockers made a good living theiving off their Employers and everybody knew the game. In she came again and reformed The Docks and as for The GLC, under Ken Livingstone, she abolished it, as no-one seemed to do any work, at any time.


She was a ruddy nuisance and she "backed Britain" at every opportunity which upset some of The Liberal locals, I can tell yer...

If Mott The Hoople, The Stones,The Beatles, Bob Dylan or The Faces don't have anything to say on a subject then it's scarcely worth commenting upon.

Although this is Rod Stewart solo. Still, ne'er mind eh.


Wake up Maggie I think I got something to say to you

Its late september and I really should be back at school

I know I keep you amused but I feel Im being used

Oh Maggie I couldnt have tried any more

You lured me away from home just to save you from being alone

You stole my heart and thats what really hurt


The morning sun when its in your face really shows your age

But that dont worry me none in my eyes youre everything

I laughed at all of your jokes my love you didnt need to coax

Oh, Maggie I couldnt have tried any more

You lured me away from home, just to save you from being alone

You stole my soul and thats a pain I can do without


All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand

But you turned into a lover and

Mother what a lover, you wore me out

All you did was wreck my bed

And in the morning kick me in the head

Oh Maggie I couldnt have tried anymore

You lured me away from home cause you didnt want to be alone

You stole my heart I couldnt leave you if I tried


I suppose I could collect my books and get on back to school

Or steal my daddys cue and make a living out of playing pool

Or find myself a rock and roll band that needs a helpin hand

Oh Maggie I wish Id never seen your face

You made a first-class fool out of me

But Im as blind as a fool can be

You stole my heart but I love you anyway


Maggie I wish Id never seen your face

Ill get on back home one of these days

Would be a bit of a dinosaur today, but effective in her day.


Cameron, who we will undoubtedly get next is just Blair lite

Backed Britain all the way she did. Did us proud during the Westland affair!


Great days they were; rolling back the human rights of millions of trade unionists - the right to strike, solidarity strikes - destruction of all those mining communities, beefing up the salaries of the police and the army, intensification of the war in the six counties ( leading to greater mainland bombing campaigns by the Republicans against us! ), destruction of the collective, co-operative spirit that had held since before WWII - "They're casting their problem on society. And, you know, there is no such thing as society. There are individual men and women, and there are families." Oh, and of course who can forget the great success of the Poll Tax?


Social unrest,mass unemployment (deliberately engineered); halcyon days, what a legacy, what a Lady....

Are you sure, Santerme? Aesthically unpleasing as a leader of the country. A chubby faced smugster who if he's suddenely catapulted into no 10 will start quoting the Clash's 'Clampdown' "What are we gonna do now..?". Which of course was a quote from Spike Milligan's Q8.

Gordon Brown is the most grumpy-faced f**kster on the planet, and is only worthy of sidekick status.

Nick Clegg? Nick leg? Nickle eg? I've forgotten which party he fronts up. The Vanilla Marginals?


So I suppose it's spoiled ballot paper next time. Or Green for a laugh.

    • Thank you, this really made me chuckle. It's like you met my brother as he would be the one taking more than his share. Plus the 'pikey' chutney is a winner. Unusual as in can't be identified??? Sadly I'm not the host otherwise I would definitely do that I regularly shop in the Cheese Block and am a fan. But as people have pointed out, there is no cheese shop that charges less based on bulk, so Aldi unusual cheeses may be what the familam receive! Yay, so I can get discounted mouse nibbled cheese still! Oooo, now I do love a Stinking Bishop. It actually offends my stepmum by it's stinkiness but luckily she is not one of the attendees at this particular gathering.  This is blooming genius. It's actually my partner who has the biggest issue with buying in plastic so I will have to hide the wrappers from him!
    • I like the look of SD's Sweet and Sour chicken. It's a really good dish when made freshly and well. I'll need to try it. Sad that Oriental Star and Lucky House by Dulwich Library both closed at a similarish time. They were decent, reliable, "British Chinese" takeaways.
    • William S Spicer was a family-owned firm that initially made horse drawn delivery carts for breweries (especially Fullers Brewery in W London) and horse-drawn trams. With the advent of the internal combustion engine, they successfully made the transition to coachbuilding delivery vehicles London's leading department stores using German engines. WW2 interrupted their business for obvious reasons, and their postwar attempt to become the local assembler and distributor of Bulgarian "Izmama" trucks was not blessed with good fortune. In 1953, the company pivoted to being a full-service garage, leveraging their reputation for honesty and excellence.  In 1972, the Dulwich site was sold to its present owners. William S Spicer III (the grandson of the founder) retired to Lancashire, where he founded a sanctuary for the endangered ineptia beetle, which he had encountered in Bulgaria while travelling for business. In 1978, Spicer was awarded an OBE for conservation, and a newly-discovered  beetle was named after him by the Bulgarian People's National Academy of Sciences - Byturus Spicerius.
