The Frances Appreciation Board FAB have had a whip round and put a bounty on your head JL.

Unless you withdraw the above assertion we will be considering even crapper chocolate bars.

We give fair warning that we have access to both Fry's Turkish Delight and Hershey bars.


Edited because instead of the final parenthesis around FAB it came out as a b@stard emoticon.


Edited again because the same b@stard emoticon came up once more so left the the parentheses out altogether.

That's Friday the 13th for you.

I'm sure Jah knows when he's onto a good thing, and I fancy him myself, but isn't it the job of a certain type of landlady to make all the regulars think she'd kindly take them down the cellar and leave them gasping over a casket, if it wasn't for his nibs with his name above the door?

Nothing of the sort JL. I caught those side long glances she used to give me.

Glances that said 'if only I wasn't welded to this place by a sense of duty and for better or worse I married the big lug and I have had two children with him, I'd give up the second home, the boat and all the holidays and come and live in your council flat, that'll be ?3.20, yes it's gone up'.

Pregnant with meaning those glances were.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By malumbu · Posted

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Dell Autos is closing tomorrow

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
