Getting the facts straight, for example: no one was murdered.

I'm not. I have no opinion on Biggs one way or the other. My only interest is in the government's reaction to the events.

Have you had a sense of humour bypass? It's a joke.

Something else I personally find a little incongruous.


Three British soldiers die in AFG and we have a thread about a person whose contribution to his country is entirely negative.


Go figure!

Eddie and Charlie Richardson....


Battered their own lieutenant Scotch Jock Kerr to pieces with a whole set of golf clubs one by one , then realised they had the wrong man once they'd hospitalised him

So, oh yeah they really looked after their own......


Oh & he remained loyal 'till the day he died last year.

The Home Secretary has not executed a U turn. He was right to refuse parole as, apparently, Biggs at no point expressed any remorse. Equally he was later correct in releasing the chronically sick 80 year old on compassionate grounds. Politics do not enter into it, and the case has little in common with the Lockerbie (supposed) bomber.

Jah, yes I have.


It was bloody painful and I still have the scars.








(I was drunk and missed the subtle nuances of your post.)

And if you had done something extra special, I hear the Richardsons would buy you a new shirt.

Diamonds they was.

      The Mansion Tax

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      By Cancerian · Posted

      Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
