Yeah, Lawrence, fix up. PR, throw the book at them.

I saw an ambulance near marble arch on Wednesday.

Yes AC are you WMTD. ? Why the change of ndf ?

Wolf Creek. Horrible horrible horrible. The depiction of human suffering and sheer animal fear is terrible...it sneaks into the soul and stays there like some life-sucking parasite. The 'bad guy' is this banal blokey Everyman ... and therefore all the more terrifying. Sorry I saw it.

....or Croydon

Whoops posted same thing twice...

Oh dear, Tarot, you seem to have slipped loose from the reins of reason. Are you feeling quite all right ?

Don't think anyone is offended when ethnicity of a suspect is mentioned as part of an honest useful description. People get p@&?d off when it's just added as a means of emphasising the horror of the situation or is so broad as to have little identifying value - eg when it could apply to anyone from your son to your uncle. Hope you're ok xone and that they catch the guy.

Bin Laden not dead. He's to host Wills and Kate at secret location for honeymoon. Near Poole.

Or dickheads.

Am currently away on holiday ( yes, I am sad enough to be on the EDF whilst on hols) but will contact more fulsomely when home. Briefly, I;m a journo and stared many stories - but have finished very few. Wanna write!

You're right. It just isn't funny. Go for Family Guy, 30 Rock, Modern Family, How to Make it in America ( a work or pure affecting, genius - restored my faith in TV) for actual laughs. You know, stuff from this century.

FFS - this again? I think a place to buy a decent Sunseeker would be great. Failing that, an FI practice grid. Or Bangkok style whore house. Or is that sex worker house, these days? Pip pip!

Anyone seen the poster depicting a trackie wearing couple, apparently arguing,in a chandeliered room as others watch on. It's emblazoned with the legend "..Krystal's house, East Dulwich. " What do they mean by it ?Eh?

Wonder if that's how he keeps Theresa May in line? That plus a playful smack of the behind .Could be going for some kind of Mad Men retro chic. Smoking in the cabinet office, martinis at lunchtime..that sort of thing.

Oh dear, I see I battle impossible odds. One last go. I didn't mean you should ACTUALLY do a doorstep sermon.That would be monstrous. The point of the theoretical exercise was to encourage you to consider the impact your tone would have if delivered in person to the mother who has suffered this loss. Toast makes a good point about the emboldening effect of internet anonymity. This is a public forum. A bereaved family member could read this and consider weighing of grief against the inconvenience of a week of late nights , rather ....crass. I was out of town for work when the whole process started ..but yes you are right ...I am at fault for not having twigged earlier. I don't have any excuses. Toast I am sorry for your loss and hope you can find solace in the fact that your loved one was, in fact, loved. I hope you can celebrate their life.

No, no Nero it's not the content of what you say. It really is the tone. Do this solipsism-busting mental exercise. Visualise yourself standing on the doorstep of the disabled elderly woman whose daughter has just perished in a fire. Now picture her face as you expound your treatise on cultural relativisn. See what I mean about prissy and dickish ?

Think it's the prissy tone Nero. Definitely dickish.

Race! Education! The Daily Mail! Even property prices! A classic EDF punch up. All it needs is something about gang activity or political correctness gone mad. Pep, anything to contribute?(Sits back, reaches for popcorn )

....stunned silence. That seems to have shut everyone up!

Nero, you're coming across as kind of dickish. A bit of humanity wouldnt go amiss.

She vowed 'aisle be back' as she was chucked out. Apparently.

Uh .... Guys it's the Mail FFS. Only accurate thing is probably the spelling. And best double check THAT as well.
