Unfortunate in some cases, I like to look for the best in people before getting, it this case, nastily sceptical. I won't apologize for that. Obviously I haven't been around these forums long enough to witness this... & why on earth would someone go through the trouble of saying such things?


Sadly I missed the good stuff. I don't know what was said for the thread to be closed...

It is becoming a bit of a vicious circle though - occasional (and regular) posters form a view that the EDF is made of cliquey/racist/homophobic/sexist/posh/middle-class/nimbys*, so they post stupid things to try and get a rise out of people, which means that vaguely dodgy threads do get jumped on by regulars, which leads to certain people forming a view...and so on.


I came across a thread on another localish forum last year where someone had posted extracts from one of the more infamous lounge threads. Taken out of context it looked pretty bad, and several people on that board reported back they had signed up to stir the pot here.


Not sure there's much we can do about it, but it does seem to be happening with increasing regularity.

All "Fishermen" enjoy a good "haul".


I remember at Grammar School some Guys would stand in Brixton Road and point to the top of the building, sometimes creating a local stir. Once the crowd gathered to significant proportions the instigators would slip away leaving a motley group of strangers pointing, trying to establish what they were supposed to be looking for...;-)

Now that I do like !

Perhaps it gives the fakers some sense of meaning int their tiny pathetic little lives, hunched all sweaty over the rigs, grinding themselves furiously at the thought of conning some uppity middle class dulite with one keyboard while gaining palpitations as they post lengthy reviews on some niche site about their latest motherboard upgrade (most of us have barely touched upon 1% of the Internet I seem to recall being told) on the other keyboard.


It doubtless makes up for the lack of interaction in the real world where they would die for a smile from the pretty Bulgarian shop girl at their local shop as they buy pepperami and the latest copies of Wired and Edge (they'd never dare add to their stack of porn while she's working of course).


Of course what would I know, I'm doubtless utterly an inferior intellect, I don't even speak a word of Klingon.

??Extradite the lot of them to the Guantanamo I say!!

Hahaha! :))




I found the whole Brothel situation far more frustrating & not in the slightest entertaining, so I can't really see where this lewishamMan (? whatever) was going with this...

Any connection between these any events and the recent reemergence of allfornun perchance?


As for brothels, many years ago I read electricity meters for a living and found myself in one at Vauxhall Station, masquerading as a reflexology, reiki, legit massage place.

    • There's not enough people talking about this - I've often worried about it too  One busy staff's mistakes will not make my pockets lighter, thank you very much. Thanks Sue and all the best for the new year. 
    • I don't want to name a shop, but I have twice at this busy time of year had an issue, and yesterday was overcharged when buying a number of small things. If you are using a shop which doesn't give an itemised receipt, or doesn't give a receipt at all, just be aware that it might be a good idea to check that you are not paying over the odds (and if using cash, that you are given the right change for what you handed over). When staff are busy they might make mistakes.
    • As I had a moan on here about the truly abysmal Christmas meal we had at The Cherry Tree last year, I am redressing the balance by saying we had a really excellent Christmas meal at Franklins last night. Every course was absolutely delicious and  really well cooked. The staff were lovely despite being exhausted and run off their feet. In particular, my sea bass was a large portion and cooked to perfection, in stark contrast to the small dried up portion The Cherry Tree provided, from which I was barely able to scrape a teaspoonful of flesh (that is not an exaggeration). And our Franklins meal cost less than half what we paid at The Cherry Tree (to be fair, that was on Christmas Day so the Cherry Tree costs would have been higher, but that doesn't excuse the appalling quality meal). Thank you again to Franklins for restoring our faith in eating out at Christmas!
