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.

I do agree that the goverment seem to want to make a somewhat pointless example of Biggs, mainly because he made a bit of a fool of them. However, he was nothing but a nasty little shit, and it's sad how people look at him as some sort of hero.

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.

      Cycling clubs, group rides and dog parks

      By malumbu · Posted

      Friend recommends Penge Cycle Club.  Southwark Cyclists usually do two social cycle rides on Saturday, you don't need to be a member (London Cycling Campaign) but recommended.  They are advertised on the What's On section of EDF. And you can go on their other Borough group rides, Lewisham Cyclists often do long rides. Generally very cycle friendly around here, despite occasional on line hostility.

      This Italian restaurant at the Southbound Goose Green bus stop on Lordship Lane is excellent but doesn't seem to get much custom, especially at lunchtimes - a sad indictment of East Dulwich society.  If it were in Camberwell/Peckham (where I used to live) it would be rammed. If we don't want Lordship Lane full of chains, then good quality independent family places need custom.
