Really Louisa? So how come when you first saw the pic there wasn't an audible sharp intake of breath and the sound of milk bottles dropping to the floor coming from you, and instead we get a 'witticism' about Cilla's hair?

Still, why give up an opportunity to come charging in with your People's Pitchfork when it suits.


FWIW, I think the only thing that the pic is mocking is the 'grief industry' that kicks into gear every time a so-called celebrity snuffs it, Cecil the Lion is a bit of a giveaway in that respect doncha think?...

I diagree red Devil. You are not just mocking 'the grief industry' (whatever that is) you are also mocking the people who have died. Death is something we will all experience, and in some cases it will be a painful experience. People in the public have always made news upon their death - there's nothing new in that.

It was probably a delayed reaction, RD. This is quite common when people are, er, 'grieving'.



Good grief.

Plenty of working class tory voters out there, you know.


I have no problem with RD's picture. I saw it mainly as a send-up of the mawkish, global grieving for an animal (Jimmy Kimmel crying on TV over Cecil the Lion... FFS..)

We are all animals and we all have the same fate. The media will of course report on things excessively during silly season (kids summer holidays), they've always done that. Why do we on here need to make a point about that by sending it up? How about, a few respectful RIP posts in the correct thread and leave it at that. Rather than posting pictures and going off on the tangent (as per) about the excessive coverage of grief.


RD I didn't personally find your picture offensive to me as an individual, but if I were close family stumbling across that picture online I think it might hit home a little harder. But hey, who cares, as long as it doesn't affect us lot in any way, fine post it up! Got any other memorable humorous pictures to share?

Oh yeah - sorry, I forgot. YOU get to decide whether YOU?RE being offensive to anyone - and everyone else just has to suck it up cos you just speak as you find and stuff and so what yeah?


But everyone else must abide by your rules as and when you make them up, or as in this case - change your mind a few hours later.. when you realise there might be a bit of mileage in it.

*Bob* once again you turn the argument on its head to take away from the potential offence caused to grieving families, and bring it back to me. This isn't about me on this occasion. YOU do not decide when YOU can pull people up on things with your 'words of wisdom' and 'sarcastic banter' as a way of defending offence. You defend the right to ridicule and and the right to mock when it suits, but you then also pull me up on my speaking my mind and compare like for like. Two completely different things.

Let?s just have a recap, shall we

I'm struggling to see where the lion's mane stops and cilla's hair starts.



Posted by Louisa Yesterday, 11:37PM

I'm sick of this modern culture of mocking those no longer here to defend themselves.




BOLLOCKS!

I'm so sorry Louisa.. I popped out for a walk in Dulwich Park and the Village for an hour or so

and wasn't posting ..


...so what happens ??


*bob* has to resort to insulting you in my absence.


I think he must have some sort of E-mail Alert set up when ever either of us post anything.


..or he just sits there waiting like a optimistic fisherman waiting for a bite..

      Of course they do, watching cookery shows and buying cook books is a national pastime. However you raise a good point that some people claim they are time poor and end up eating out / takeaways as sometimes a quick macciedee is cheaper and easier than making a quick nutrious family meal.  However to put it in balance, not many people have the knowledge, confidence and time to cook Persian so good luck to team persepolis on this venture.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By dan b · Posted

      London doesn’t have a lot of Argentinian places specialising in empanadas, which suggests demand isn’t that great. There are many neighbourhoods with none at all or even nearby.  So for a mini-chain like Chango (several branches in SW London) to open here where there’s already a well established family run place doing the same feels a bit off.  I’ll be giving Chacarero my ongoing custom.

      Has anyone retrospectively fit aircon in a loft conversion?

      By redjam · Posted

      This is so helpful, everyone, thank you. @green bean Yes we have just (as of yesterday) installed the same external blinds you mention! We already had blackout blinds and we now have the external awnings too. Of course that will guarantee the end of the summer sunshine but I can see that they're going to be helpful as they let the light through but not the glare of the sun - I'm fed up of working in darkness with both the blackout blinds closed on sunny days. We'll see how we go with those for a bit but I reckon we'll get a couple of quotes from the other recommendations in case we end up going the whole hog. @penfold Love the idea of getting solar+batteries to offset the electricity usage so will look into that.  Thanks, all.

      Councillor Jon Hartley

      By MaryT · Posted

      Yes Sally, I've emailed him several times since Xmas. I don't contact Councillors frequently but when I've done so over the years, I've found them generally engaged and responsive. It's unprecedented to just be ignored and, regardless of the query I'm raising, that's worrying from the point of view of  our local democratic voice. Its a Councillors role to represent local people! A different thread on here made reference to a lack of response from one of our ward councillors and, since there are only two, I'm guessing it's the same one. I'm following up my own concern separately but I'm asking on here about whether others have had the same problem. I'd like to think it's a one-off but, increasingly, I suspect it's not. Hope that gives a bit more context!
