I refer you back to my last post, which again you chose not to read. Keep up Bob FFS.

Yes, I read that post. You're prepared to forget that, under normal circumstances, you want those kids taken off him - on the grounds that you like Thriller.


I understand completely.


You're not alone. Many millions agree with you.


In many ways Wacko has become THE template for the baby-buying, selfish celebs of today - all overlooked on account of them being famous. God go with him, as you say.

Calm your skin down Bob, you'll give yourself a heart attack if you keep up the self righteous Mr. Angry impersonation. You know I'm only messin' with ya.

Anyway, if I see another clip of either Thriller, Billie Jean or Beat It, I might have to dangle my own baby out of the window (don't worry - I'm quite well know in television circles, I'm sure I can get away with it).


What we need is a three-hour special where they play Earth Song back-to-back, plus the other two decades-worth of mediocre pap - so that people can come to a balanced conclusion about his musical genius.

Not really.


Dead or alive, Wacko means very little to me beyond filling tabloid inches in a thorougly entertaining fashion - and providing some solid choices for a wedding reception playlist.


But as an example of what those blessed with cash and an army of fans can get away with, when excused from the parameters that everyone else is suppose to function within, MJ excels.

Look no further than some of the posters on EDF for more examples, if you know what I'm saying

What I dont understand about people is how they expect a man with a crazy life to become a well rounded sane individual. I dont think he was horrible or perverted but eccentric is an understatement. Its like raising a spanish child with a chinese family and expecting him to still speak spanish...it wont work. I hope he s in a better place- he had the best/ worst life depending on what way you look at it

Quick update on 200M dollar loser Randy - as expected he now wants to turn the 50 night run into a tribute concert as "its the best thing to do for the family and the fans".


Randy. Wake up. It's over.

    • That Neal Street veggie cafe was great. Food For Thought ❤️
    • Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, You won't be aware that i proposed infill sites for housing in East Dulwich - the garages on Bassano Street and Henslowe that respectively became 1-4 Dill Terrace family houses and the 78, 80, 80A Henslowe Street family houses. These were council owned garages and it was frustrating how slow the council was to go from my idea to completion (roughly eight years). East Dulwich has some other vacant WW2 bomb sites I'm guessing that the private land owners have been sitting on.Owe for a land tax for vacant land.  WRT to the builders yard by East dulwich station. Southwark Council has an agreed policy the area should remain suburban 2/3 storeys maximum. But the approved scheme is 9 storeys of student accommodation. Very hard to put this genie back in the bottle. The council has recently publicly stated lower ratios of social housing will be required. I will be amazed if the developer doesn't submit another application now they have the 9 storeys approved but with significantly less social housing. The less social housing the higher the land values. The higher the land values the less social housing viability reports state are possible.  If we really want to increase home supply - Southwark have over 6,000 empty homes. Vancouver charges a low % of the value of empty homes and rapidly eased this problem. Parts of Wales have introduced under Article 4 planning permission is required for second homes seeing within 12 months a dramatic decrease in property prices. Southwark Council have Article 4 requirements - why not add this one? It takes National political will to solve this AND regional and local authorities such as the second home council tax premium and these being used promptly. 
    • https://www.letslinkuk.net/ I'm interested to know why the OP didn't find this sort of scheme to work, as I would have thought it was much harder to find someone to do a direct exchange with? Does anybody else have experience of a scheme like this? Happy to be persuaded! 
    • I personally think is a great idea Bobbly and would love if there was a section for it. I wouldn't offer free gardening under the "for sale" section as I would expect something in exchange and wouldn't expect our cat being looked after for free under the "wanted" section, as an example.
