Rimworld is no more .....

[sanity girl]

duh, of course I get why rimworld is funny, but I'm not about to give an explicit explanation to prove it. I found african prices funny for other reasons - seems pretty outrageous as a name for a shop, no?

There is also the amusingly named S&M Tools, hadware shop on Leather Lane, appropriately enough, in Farringdon

[bigbadwolf]

There's also this organisation called Royal Mail. I've never seen such a comical misrepresentation of the truth.

Sorry to hear its gone. I'll never forget the first time I entered Rimworld - I was in there for hours.

[bigbadwolf]

Get your tongue out of their arse Brum!

BBW - you always like to poke your nose in, don't you!

the real rimworld is a heavenly place... i enjoy it...

the shop however...

not even comparable...

[brum]

Oh I don't know about that Kato.... ok, inside was quite small - it was always a bit of a squeeze to move around - but I quite liked that, it made it quite special.

[brum]

...and before each visit I usually went for a drink at the pub around the corner - The Bunch of Grapes, I think it was called.

[red devil]

Brum, I think your getting confused with another pub called The Chutney Ferret...

[paragon]

Reminds me of a shop called "Aids for the Disabled"

Believe there is a facebook group and Glenn Hoddle is the majority shareholder

Once upon a time there used to be a slimming pill called Aids. Don't see it around any more funnily enough.

The Ayds Diet...

A couple of years ago an African bar/restaurant opened on Peckham High Road called "The Golden Stool", although not for long as the name was soon changed.

The name was actually a translation of the Asante Sika 'dwa, the sacred Royal Throne of the legendary King Osei Tutu of the Gold Coast Empire of Ashanti.

It wasn't a pill, it was a toffee.

Came in boxes at vast expense.

Very very sweet. Supposed to chew one before a meal and it stopped you wanting to eat.

Early seventies. Ish.
