Time



It trivialises the world


I went to school with the Sha of Iran's sons


Oh yeah, & they turned up with big black limo's & helicopters, body guards , the whole 9 yards


Sure, not everyones experience, but a fuck load of Catholic church scholarship money my education spent however,


I later met the "Irianian/Persian" minister of culture running a take away in Brighton called "Roller Coaster"


Which leveled things out somewhat


He made a mean "sweet meat" in pitta

Thatcher engineered a war in the South Atlantic to win an election. You think Blair's a scumbag?


The problem Blair has to surmount is that he went to war to protect the self-indulgence of greedy Brits. He's like a guilty conscience.


Unable to look ourselves in the mirror and recognise our rape of third world resources for the crime it is, we prefer to focus our disgust on a third party.


The idea that Blair could act independently is really quite contemptuous. You should be thanking him for making the decisions you weren't big enough to make yourselves. ;-)

Ex-Speaker of the 'house of common thieves' mr martin who complained that the public should never had the information released regarding MP's expenses.


When the finger pointed at him he tried to blame it all on the lady who had been in post for only two weeks, that is a scumbag!

"Thatcher engineered a war in the South Atlantic to win an election."


No. A foreign power took territory they claimed belonged to them by force to distract a restless and desperate public from the their failings at home. Thatcher decided to re-take the Falklands by force, not engineer a war. Although it no doubt recieved praise from voters.


My Dad also helped boot the Argies out.

"Any oil in the vicinity of them there Malvinas?"


Yes, although there were ample reserves off our coastline at the time and the technology for deep-water drilling - which would be essential for exploiting any reserves in that enviroment - was still in it's infancy.


The liberty of British subjects was the reason for re-taking the islands. Not exploration rights.

Jesus, Katie, you're right. This thread should stop here.

For that sort of job, Blair, Thatcher, Mugabe, heck even Hitler would have given the lads concerned a nice drink.

My advice Katie, is from now on just have very small items delivered.

I happen to know there is a masonic-style brotherhood of delivery drivers and no doubt you've been whitevanlisted.

From now on let your motto be 'Nothing I can't carry on the bus'.


Sorry for your trouble.

The small things, OR INDEED THE SMALL PEOPLESSS. Eh Katie?

Perhaps the butterfly flutter of a lack of a porboire from you could have a financially hurricaneick effect on a painter and decorator in Japan.

Davio might have to knock off an hour early because his boss Terrio can't afford to keep two men up a ladder all day.

But that probably wouldn't be your fault. Almost definitely not.

Anyway don't feel bad.

Feel gutted for Wayne Bridge. I think the back lash from this story will in the long run harm John Terry, he's going to lose a lot of respect from his team mates for cheating with his team mates ex.


Truth be told, these stories aren't real news stories. I bet Tony Blair, is glad this has pushed his enquiry story back.

> It get's better


That's made me feel quite nauseous. I wish I could believe in reincarnation as at least we could cling to the comfort that further down the line there would be a reckoning. As it is, it looks like things keep getting better for those such as Tone and Thatcher. What a terrible state of affairs. Quite puts me off my lunch.

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      By civilservant · Posted

      thanks Jenijenjen and all - yes, i remember walking or taking the bus from the elephant (where i was working) to Camberwell to get there.  I think Tim - who's still at Franklin's -  was there in those days, and the woman who ran the cafe!  Other food places that i remember fondly are the ones in Neal's Yard (with the Hunkin sculpture that you could put a coin in ) and the basement lunch place at the Tottenham Court Road junction with Hanway Street...

      Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertised  times. Hope you got it sorted x

      Be careful in local shops

      By Sue · Posted

      People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

      Adapted not forced.  As have numerous species around the world.  Sort of thing that Attenborough features.  Domestic dogs another good example - hung around communities for food and then we become the leader of the pack.  Not sure how long it will take foxes to domesticate, but some will be well on their way.    Raccoons also on the way https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1j8j48e5z2o
