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.

      Bitey Fox.

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      They've left all kinds of things in my garden including gardening gloves and shoes, not to mention scavenged food and packaging. Once they left an unopened vacuum pack of smoked trout, the next day some pita bread. All a bit biblical.

      Bitey Fox.

      By malumbu · Posted

      From memory foxes only became a regular sight in the 90s, the attached article says they first appeared in the 30s becoming far more common in the 80s.  Apparently, whilst we think that urban foxes live longer than rural due to their 'easy' life few will make it over the age of two.  In towns they are far more crowded than their natural habitat where they are more territorial. I've never seen foxes and cats fighting but once saw two cats squaring up to each other and a watching fox went up and butted its head against one of the cats.  There's a video on youtube of a cat and fox facing off when the cat is eating outside, but it wont let me embed on this post.  Get too close and I'll scratch you. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/15/urban-foxes-are-they-fantastic-or-a-growing-menace My main issue is leaving things out like gardening gloves and they go or are shredded.  One stole a bag of bird food in front of me, took it next door, shredded the bag and then left it.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      I was trying to remember when Franklins moved to Lordship Lane from Walworth Road where it was combined with an antique/bric a brac shop. Mid 1990s, first wave ED gentrification?
