John has dug deep and thinks there is enough in the till to fix up the sign. And he'll be putting in an entire new and improved shopfront just as soon in 2010 as the man can come and fit it.


It would obviously be daft to do the shopfront just before Christmas not least because my new book is on display in it and it would be a shame if instead of looking majestic behind glass it was instead concealing its light behind a tarpaulin.


So obviously we owe John our thanks for smartening up the frontage although it's a bit of a shame the old sign couldn't have been preserved for future generations. And we should support him by buying more books than ever, lots of mine and some by other people.

SteveO should be ashamed of himself, starting a thread about a beloved local institution only to descend into money-grubbing self promotion by the third sentence.

It's just this kind of unregulated opportunism that's got the country into the financial mire we currently find ourselves mired in.

I suggest that every EDFer go and buy a copy of SteveO's new book and insist on paying extra for an unautographed copy.

That'll teach him not to attempt his viral marketing round these parts in the future.

Isn't it refreeshing to see a thrusting entrepenurial type like SteveO, who isn't shy about getting involved and giving his latest venture the old school hustle.

It's exactly this sort of freewheeling gogetterism that will lift the country out of the financial schtuck we are presently stuck in.

I insist that we all go and buy an autographed copy of SteveO's book, but ask John for a discount because it's got scribble in it.

I mean it's worth a try and SteveO'll understand.

And it'll ensure he makes the EDF his first port of call for any future promotional activities.

Boooo, that bloody H********** is once more inflicting his vile presence upon us. It must be Bonfire night, burn the warlock say I.


But of course a Christmas Carol on Chener, 'God bless them everyone'.

Once more the bringer of joy (Manfred Mann style) and harbinger of seasonal festivites that is HONALOOCHIEB ie me *points fingers at self* is amongst us.


But as for Chener Books, a Kafka on them, let's see how they like waking up as an insect like the rest of us have done.

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By HeadNun · Posted

      I edited my post because I couldn't be sure we were talking about politicians and I couldn't be bothered to read it all back. But it was off the back of a thread discussing labour councillors, so it went without saying really and I should have left it.  What I said was 'There's something very aggressive about language like that - it's not big and it's not clever. Some of the angry energy that comes from the far left is pretty self-defeating.' (In relation to a labour councillor rather immaturely, in my view, wearing a jumper that read 'fuck the Tories').  But I don't recall saying that "violent rhetoric" is exclusively the domain of the left wing. So I do think you're taking a bit of a bit of leap here.

      You literally just edited your earlier reply to remove the point you made about it being “politicians”.  Then you call me pathetic.    I’m  not trying to say you approve any of the ugly right wing nonsense.  But I AM Saying your earlier post suggesting  violent rhetoric being “left wing” was one-sided and incorrect

      I never said that. Saying I don’t like some of the rhetoric coming from the left doesn’t mean I approve of Farage et al saying that Afghans being brought here to protect their lives and thank them for their service means there is an incalculable threat to women.    Anything to score a cheap point. It’s pretty pathetic.

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By Rockets · Posted

      To be fair we are as hosed as the majority of other countries post-Covid. The problem is Labour promised way too much and leant in on the we need change and we will deliver it and it was clear to anyone with a modicum of sense that no change was going to happen quickly and actually taking the reigns may have been a massive poison- chalice. As Labour are finding to their cost - there are no easy answers.  A wealth tax seems straightforward but look how Labour have U-turned on elements of non-dom - why? Because the super rich started leaving the country in their droves and whilst we all may want them to pay more tax they already pay a big chunk already and the government saw there was a problem.
