Tiger, please Governments are not just the few politicians who make headlines. Tens of thousands of honest and often very well intentioned citizens work very hard to make Government function for us. They're not aligned to a political party but they do have to try and implement the politicians decisions. Those politicians can do things which seem, or are actually are dodgy, which can make it seem that Government as a whole is a bit iffy. It's not. And if you want to go down that line of argument one should back it up with facts. ap

I did say 'Richer Sounds is a bit like Netto tho.' By bit I meant, part of it, an element, one or two aspects. I did not mean that Netto and Richer Sounds are effectively the same shop. ap Tough on pedants. Tough on the causes of pedantry.

Cheap and chearful, pile 'em high shopping.

About the signage, all that black and reckless (yes reckless) use of swashes smacks of faux chic, attempting to envoke baroque aethetics but coming over all chav, or mock-baroque. To my mind boutiques are about exclusivity, elegance, customer service. Not a load of black shiny plastic with meaningless patterns constructed from letterforms. Letters and their swashes have meaning, just taking them, reapeating them to make a pattern is sloppy and misses the mark by some way. Rant ends. I'm guessing it's too late to pitch for the redesign work? ap

Although there is what's been described as a perfectly good hi-fi shop already on LL the whole banisters and chained-off pavement thing is a complete turn off. It's just not very welcoming looking and if I'm shelling out decent money on hi-fi equipment in a shop (as opposed to online) I want that shop to be set up as if they've got my happiness in mind. Richer Sounds is a bit like Netto tho. So, how about a local friendly hi-fi shop without chains and bannisters? ap

I'm hoping for new signage, all that pointless swashy guff has been offending me for months.

As smart-arsed as I am, that last post was actually by me, not Joom, my wife. I blame the snow.

Awful accent and off-the-shelf threats. And he was such a nice young boy in Empire of the Sun. Clearly a prick.

?100m for a turd? Am i missing something?

A thread dedicated to the love of typographic errors. Starting with a cracking cockney cock-up http://www.oneanother.ltd.uk/i/befnal.png found here ap

I had an interesting chat with three of them whilst waiting for the bus at the Elephant one day. I stood nearby lamenting the tag team evangelical ear bashing they were dishing out. I made it clear I was unimpressed, I mean, I don't stand about shouting at them that they need stuff I'm into, so I thought I'd mock them. Gently. I got bored and my ears were hurting so I moved away, just a few metres towards my stop. Then three 16 year old god fearing morons decided that I needed to hear the word. I supose that my behaviour probably showed me up to be crying out for salvation. Anyhow, their line of attack went a bit like "you're a fool if you don't believe in god". I pointed out that they were in no way able to judge fairly if I was a fool having never met me before. This elicited the same response, "you need god, he's there for you" etc. They weren't listening which, in that situation, was my job. I got on the 176 wishing that they were right, that hell does exist, but that it is where they're headed for being such drab pains in the arse. ap

Is a lovely, topical collectors plate

Tell them you've had a rough night with the same sex partner and ask if they can they be quick. A JoHo free zone is guaranteed.

having rediscovered my computer, the internet and the forum i think i might just pop along

I'm for a central venue so CPT gets my vote. The Herne would be ok but can be a little quiet, more of a gastro pub than a boozer and I love boozers me. Montpellier seems too far away even if it's near Peckham Rye, this is ED drinks after all. Oh, and the Castle might be too pink.

Those prices should have guaranteed that Kerry Catona at least turned up seeing as she was booked. FYI, Oliver Boner is part-owned by Iceland hence the off-liste celeb sharing. I might have got the wrong end of a fabulous yet useless stick on this but shall persist. ap

East of Dulwich is Nuns Head?

Kerry Catona will officially open Oliver Bonas this Saturday morning.

East Dulwich is responsible for the economic downturn and is also near Penge.

What with Oliver Boner being the Foxtons of tat shops does this mean some of our traditional, well established and er, useful tat shops will go to the wall? If that's the case I will happily give time and expertise to defend the rights of tat shop owners to operate without fear of these tat chains muscling in with their slightly cheaper wonky candle stick holders and grossly marked up klobber.

Men are like? not amused hehe

It was rough, Now it's not.

Smug middle-class hideout in London (for Louisa)

I am an avowed Arsenal fan but cannot stand Eboue. He was an ok right back but right midfielder he ain't and his violence is embarrassing. In a team with Fabregas, Rosicky and Hleb in the middle it's nuts the best we/africa can do is that thug. Maybe we could get hold of the Barnsley right winger, that cross for the first against the Scousers was amazing. But with a sense of perspective, even if we win FA this year that's about what was expected what with all our players being 12. (edited for typo)
