Or add on the 210, from the shared stop at the bottom of Highgate Hill, to the last stop, outside Gadz. Perfect. I travel that way to and from Belize Park 3 or 4 times a week, to my beloved University of the 3rd Age (anyone 60+out there? You should…
All the above is true, but there are one two negatives. For me, they are the music, and the weekend TV football. Hussain usually turns the radio down for me, but not without a certain amount of ribbing. Which brings me to another plus: he is a clown…
Islington Labour - good; Haringey Labour - bad? Is that what you are saying, Miss Annie? I wonder if you're right about the latter. At least they haven't cut their library service, unlike other boroughs,and Hornsey Library is one of the best in Nort…
Excellent article about prisons by Simon Jenkins in the Standard. A real eye-opener. And Cameron gets a rubbishing as - in a word - a hypocrite, which should please Sutent. SJ is a bit of a maverick, by no means always on the side of the liberals. …
Of course I don't believe their rhetoric, Sutent! but the form it took surprised me, as they usually take Miss Annie's line. As for you lot, the best of luck to you all. It's appalling how badly treated you have been, and will be, if you don't manag…
Well, well. David Cameron and Ken Clarke (on Radio 4 just now) are saying much the same as me and others on this thread. Miss Annie must be gnashing her teeth with anger. It took me aback as well: I don't often get Tories lining up to agree with me.…
Go in and talk to him, Arkady. He claims he has another 6 years of contract, and that the landlord(s) have been threatening for years. He poo-poos all talk of development. He's not very easy to talk to, but I assured him you were a good chap, and n…
A little incoherent and drink-driven, Kreuzkav, but perhaps justified, as a response to 'horrible little scroats'. That is the easiest response in the world, the hating one, and we are all, including the 3 SG.org socialists, tempted to join in at ti…
You're right, Miss Annie. Jeremy and I, and many others, will be heartbroken. I hope Sutent is wrong. Hussain devotes his life to that place. PS to Krappy: revenge, please!
I'm going to repeat myself, not for the first time - it's what old gentleman do, so please be patient with me. Miss Annie is right, on this occasion! The main function in a cafe should be chattering! To a real person, or people. No screens - AND NO…
He's right, folks. I lost my queen early on, through gross carelessness. In my revolutionary youth it could perhaps have been a 1917 moment, but now, in my dotage,I was unable to seize power, and was revealed to be no more than an armchair socialist…
Next, Krappy? My revenge, that's what. Krappy just thrashed me at chess. And, on the vexed 'h' word, he called me PC. I knew somebody would, sooner or later. Squawk.
This really is unfair. I had no idea I was being blamed for the conversational downsizing. You are being oversensitive, it seems to me. Temperatures rise, but there's no need to flounce. Perhaps 'flounce' riles you both slightly; fair enough. I don'…
Another (fairly obvious) point. Miss Annie says she is very much against policing free speech. When she was the victim of some of the foulest abuse l have ever seen on this forum, was the moderator wrong to remove it? Of course not . And every demo…
OK, Miss Annie and Papa L. We've discussed this sort of thing before. My view, that names matter a lot, especially around sexuality, gender, and race, seems to be a minority one, on this forum. I shall continue objecting, even though Miss Annie imp…
Does nobody else object to the use of the word 'hooker', above? Gardener Joe makes fun of vulnerable women, and uses a sexist term for good measure. He should be ashamed of himself.
Well, well, Sutent, that's an interesting titbit (I take it your penultimate word should have been 'manger'?).Good chap, Jesus.He would certainly not have condoned the shocking, miserable brutality that we are currently surrounded by. He would undou…
