Oh FFS.


Lots of humour is quite black.


People have different senses of humour.


I found red devil's picture very funny. I find some of the "jokes" posted in the joke thread on here quite offensive.


Each to their own, eh?


I sincerely hope that when I snuff it (which if people on here think 72 is a good innings then I haven't got long to go, grammar) I won't get a load of friends and relatives afraid to make jokes about it. Though of course I hope they'd have a bit of a cry too :))

Well, makes sense, maggots also try and wiggle their way out of difficult situations...

Yes


If you can't beat death at least you can laugh at it.

and I don't think Aaron Ramsey scored recently.

Sorry - I missed have missed the memo that appointed you the grief police and gave you the right to judge what people are allowed to feel sad about.

I believe in things called "freedom of thought" and "freedom of speech". You may be familiar with the concepts.


So yes Jimmy Kimmel is perfectly free to cry about a lion, or anything else. And I'm free to ridicule it. And you're free to say daft things.

Death is whatever you want it to be. Shouldn't be any limits on how one persons death is a celebration, another's a deeply sad and traumatic event. Each to their own. But when you are not in any way interested in said person, and are purely posting to mock the circumstances surrounding the media response to said death, that's pointless is it not? We still do not know the outcome to the autopsy on Cilla, maybe it wasn't just old age, maybe a tragic accident? Who knows? But until then at least give the poor family and friends a chance to deal with the grief without all the pointless little attempts at humour! There are lots of people I have not particularly liked, I didn't celebrate their death by going on social media criticising the response of others to their death. It's called having a little dignity and respect. Couldn't you give it a month before you start the whole obituary slating and such like. Some of this stuff is no better than the drivel Katie Hopkins dishes out over Twitter (and for the record I actually quite like her too!).

Keep wiggling away Lou...

It's true. Should any of Cilla's relatives somehow manage not to see the banks of national newspapers out today each with a seven page spread speculating as to the cause of her death - AND simultaneously fall onto a keyboard and by huge fluke input the words 'Cilla Black East Dulwich Forum' and hit 'enter' - they would be horrified to discover you comparing her hair colour to that of Cecil the Lion - and it would be as if poor Cilla had died all over again.


We can only hope that this most unfortunate set of circumstances do not occur.

*Bob* are you some behind the scenes expert on this forum? How on earth do you know whether one of her many close friends or relatives isn't looking on this forum as we type? And how they be offended by certain comments? That's all I'm pointing out. My comment was, as explained previously, an observation at the poor editing of the picture where Cecil's mane overlaps Cilla's ginger mo of hair. It was not an intentional dig at her nor Cecil. For goodness sakes I shouldn't even be having to explain myself.


Louisa.

      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!
