Moral is, don't stop in bus lanes. They're there for a reason.

No self-loathing here, just loathing of the behaviour of some "nationalists" and how emboldened they are becoming due to the status quo. If you haven't observed this it's slightly frightening. See the behaviour of those who invaded the Ikea after the Sweden match and those who vandalised an ambulance.)

I have zero interest in football but England have done well by the sound of things. However I?m pretty relieved that rampant and misplaced nationalism won?t be unleashed by greater success. Because that undoubtedly would have happened. I feel a bit sad about the fact that this is where we are but at the moment we can?t have anything nice because we don?t know how to look after it. Depressing World Cup analysis over.

This could be one of the all time great threads if we handle it properly.

I?ll post my opinion when and where I want to Dulwich Fox. This is too important an issue not to note it. It?s an unwise move to try and silence people.

Russia can go and f*** itself. The current situation regarding LGBTQ rights there means that no civilised country should be legitimising the regime by attending.

Can also HUGELY recommend this restaurant. The area is great but probably not the greatest in France but that restaurant and Montreuil for the weekend? Definitely!

Am sensing severe anger issues from the OP.

Which is precisely why we shouldn?t have had a referendum in the first place.

Spectacular lack of self-awareness there, Loz. Well done.

This hideous carnival gets no better, does it? Oh please let Labour replace Corbyn with someone with some balls. This nightmare could be over pretty quickly with the right leader who can read the country.

You really need to check your white privilege if you think "gammon" is a racist insult.

Do we really need another thread about this? Hope admin merges them.

Silly post.

All I know is that I?ve spoken to many who use them all the time but the 3 or 4 times we?ve tried to book with them we?ve been letdown at the last minute. Friends with a baby were late down with 36 hours? notice last weekend. I have no idea what they?re like as a ?landlord? but they seem to be pretty flaky if you?re a ?tenant?.

Thanks Admin. He was like some awful thing from the Daily Mail forum. Creepy AF. Nothing wrong with some healthy debate and differences of opinion but definitely something off about him.

The same as I said before since you ask. Quia Differt Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > > What say you now ?

Quite happy not to have seen that one!

Yep. Definitely creepy. I see what Admin meant in the Louisa thread.

Calm down dear.

These things are part and parcel of living in London, particularly next to public parks. They have been for many years. There are people living in Park Lane who have loud rock concerts in the park next door. You're probably living in the wrong place if you let this sort of thing bother you.

This would be an almost impossible category to judge, probably more so than restaurants. Pubs mean different things to different people. Atmosphere/clientele/garden/children/no children/food/good food/pub food/craft ale/wine selection/tv screens/no tv screens, then list goes on. Horse for courses etc.

Louisa would quite enjoy the heat being off her for once. Anyroad, has she gone? I often find her amusing and have frequently agreed with her but sometimes her style doesn't help her cause.

LOL at Tony LS being caught out!

This sort of event isn't my cup of tea, I hate crowds, overpriced drinks & rancid portaloos but I fully support it. If the acts are your cup of tea then it's pretty good value. If they were using the parks for festivals too often then this could be a problem but that doesn't appear to be the case. Using parks for festivals is hardly a new thing and it's something that's been happening in London for as long as I can remember.
