I have scoured the morning papers, listened to the radio and checked the television news stations, but I am unable to find any coverage of Michael Jackson's memorial service.


As a service to this board, I sat through the entire circus last evening because I am a boring old fart.


A couple of awards:


Best product placement: KFC


Best exploitation of a child: Michael's daughters closing words


Best taste in a performance: The young chap who left the stage to sing to Michael's coffin

It has been a gut wretching week hasn't it? That horrible fire left me feeling empty.


But I am feeling better physically, following a relapse of sorts last week. I am planning to leave the house for social reasons this weekend, which is one's first social excursion in a very long time.

Oh dear woman you may slag me off with wreckless abandon and I shall sit back and admire your determination and sheer grit. You are a EDF star indeed.


Some of the music was indeed divine. The first singer, Mariah, was she still rehearsing the piece? She seemed to be plotting her pitch in some warm-up-using-my-hand-as-notes-on-a-staff way?


I'm not familiar with her.

I couldn't believe last night's TV schedules or the events surrounding Michael Jackson's funeral. A non-stop barrage of mawkish sentimentality for the "People's Paedophile."


It made feel queazy and unclean. I had to switch off and read a book instead. The papers are full of it today too. I'm looking forward to the backlash and the truth. The truth that will out in the end.

If you listened carefully it was a "duet" though it was a bit muffled in parts.



W**F

Agree. The Rev Al Sharpton's evangelical address was straight from the pulpit. Complete tosh. "It was Michael who did it. It was Michael who brought us all together, it was Michael who taught us to love one another. It was Michael who fed the starving millions before Live Aid blah blah bloody blah." Complete bollocks.

    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's. 
    • I have a new fixation so any available, please let me know.  Thanks.
    • In restaurant terms I would say a chain manifests when the motivation is no longer “we are a couple/small group who have an idea and love food” who open a restaurant, them another and then a few more BUT THEN PIVOT to “we need capital to rollout out new restaurants so we have leveraged the help of the following investors”  that is the moment it stops being about the chef/food on the plate and becomes about the spreadsheet  so it is POSSIBLE  for a restaurant to have 50 branches and not be a chain - but I can’t think of any  I don’t know chango - by based on the number of outlets they appear to have just crossed/or are about to cross that line
