Is that an oxymoron?

Reading through this thread has been very disheartening. I had hoped that we could have moved on from being another bunch of NIMBY's but that's obviously not the case. I'm sure that the prospect of property values dropping has nothing to do with it & it's all just genuine concern for the vulner...

btw, I was just driving past the East Dulwich Forum and saw an excellent recommendation for the pop-up in Dulwich: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,1004299,1005376#msg-1005376 Isn't there an old saying that goes "You can fool some of the people etc." ? Michael, did you ...

Are they subsidised? Affordable housing usually means cheap and nasty, built to a price. The builders who partake in the development of such properties do so as cheaply as possible. Many of the affordable new build houses that fall in to that category are meeting bare minimum requirements, I know fo...

You are missing the point Eagle, it's developer/estate agent flannel, they're just laying some Yuppie bait.

Demonstrations against cuts are futile under this government, their rhetoric will not change. I imagine they will say "We hear what people have said but this wont sway us from our goal to reduce the deficit." Good to exercise peoples democratic right to protest though and long may it conti...

Erm, a section 5 firearm isn't a gun. It's a weapon like a CS spray or a flare. I'd go with "Isn't necessarily a gun" as the .gov site shows its main purpose is to cover hand guns and automatic weapons. Don't get me wrong, I don't really know anything about guns except my mate has an AK47...

Great news and well done who informed The Police. Regretably I expect he will be out in a couple of days. I hope I am wrong. He'll get 5 years for the gun Eagle, may be a bit on top for the drugs, he'll receive no actual help inside and get rubber stamped and dumped out on to the streets to an awai...

More to the point, how does one tell the difference from a sreaming banshee? a drunk overly excitable saturday night lush? and a fox?

If they claim to make a loss in the UK with those prices must be very inadequate management. Or some very skilled and shifty till dippers. *Star bucks * Buck the trend..... to be noticeably different from the way that a situation is developing generally, especially in connection with financial matt...

Some of these Coffee shops are robbers, there is one at Sainsbo's Dog Kennel Hill. I always feel monetarily violated once I leave the place. It's like an elaborate con artists trick. You get to the Barista, kids screaming everywhere, you order a couple of cups and something for the kids, hand over a...

Blimey! Come on Rod, you're a member of the Writers Guild arentcha? Do I have to spell it out? It wasn't that Rod. I felt that with the photo and derogatory comments surrounding those depicted in it was unacceptably leaning towards racism. Do we have to dig up the bones of what is an unnecessary loa...

Rod, the reason I opposed that thread was because it was dangerously veering towards bigoted views.

It had nothing to do with KFC chicken.

I do not see the difference between giving the masses KFC because they demand it and dishing them up a little singing contest, Mike. The Sheeple gets what the Sheeple wants, mass produced and devoid, unadulterated, Dirge. I would have thought you would have applauded something so obviously 'of the ...

We are in 100% agreement I loathe all reality TV and soap operas. What a waste of license payers money , if on BBC.

Like your style Eagle, especially your cavieat on the end, now highlighted in bold and made bigger

OK Rod.

I get exactly where you are coming from.

You of all people will forgive me a lowbrow analogy: In the X Factor the other day, Gary, in his role as mentor, gave his charge an absolute hollering to prompt more positive returns in future. I have a deep embittered loathing toward the X factor and the people who champion its being. For me it is...

Why must an idea be positive? Surely one learns just as much, if not more, from negative ideas? Positivity can be drawn from negative outcomes but to start out with a knowingly negative idea is in my view counterproductive, foolish and defeatist. All ideas should be deamed positive until their outc...

Easily remedied, drop the benign banality of imagined persecution and start a thread on it and share your experiences.
