Oh hush Patrick, of course there are differences between the EDF and secondary school.

On here, there is no English master throwing blackboard rubbers at you.

No bully of a 'Makem' gym teacher to damage your ear drum with a spontaneous clout for I know not what.

No woodwork teacher/drone who will lob a mallet at your head if you're apparently not paying attention.

No formal corporal punishment, and even better the spontaneity of arbitrary physical discipline involving plimsoles, cricket bats, open hands and fists never happens. Though I've never attended an EDF drinks get together, so who knows.

Latin is usually kept to a minimum.

If there are any sexually predatory priests posting, they're keeping themselves to themselves.

If people want to smoke, they don't have to congregate in the bogs.

So you see, Patrick, no similarity to a secondary school whatsoever.


But, are you CHEWING?

Actually HB - that isn't quite true - see Christmas Carol and ED Single Men threads (of all places)!


Other than that:

No I have come onto the forum to post useless nonsense just like everyone else...


I think a psychologist would have a field day analysing the majority of people who post on here...something about their inability to form 'real' relationships...


My sense of humour manifests itself in the 'real world'...a place where the majority of people on here won't be familiar with.

Why are you reading this thread...u obviously dont need to buy a sense of humour...


The fact that ???? has checked to see how many posts I have made is also highly amusing...


Yawn. Let's round up this thread; guys and gals- GET OUT MORE.

Though Patrick Bateman's sense of humour was questionable to say the least (though I find it hard to criticise anyone with a penchant for Genesis), Brett Easton Ellis' is superlative, I trust our new friend leans toward the latter rather than the former.

I am loving the concern for our well-being, especially that we should leave our screens (they turns your eyes square you know) and abodes, I must say.

Very unpatrick like though, it almost shows a regard beyond one's own sociopathic ego.

1/10 for staying in character.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
