This is a good post, and considerably more well-informed than most inn the last page or so.


People, even if you read my article and reckon it's all a load of rubbish, maybe this has at least prompted you to have a think about how public anything you post on the internet is. I'm frequently surprised about just how naive and unrealistic many people are when it comes to their beliefs about what 'rights' they have in relation to their postings and in their expectations when it comes to privacy.


Someone said something about this being a 'private forum open to the public'... you what!?

Indeed, it is a privately-owned forum, and you have been extended the courtesy of being admitted to it by the owner. The owner expects those invited to his party at his house to behave respectfully and courteously while in his home and drinking his wine (even if some of it is from wine boxes).


His Terms of Use are really very fair (compared to some), and his behaviour as host I can only describe as impeccable, far more generous and reasonable than that of one or two site owners not a million miles from ED (who would probably have murdered jrussel not long after birth).

I secretly suspect the man behind jrussel isn?t too far away from the man he created as jrussel i.e the real jrussel is an aspiring journalist who is a cross between Jeremy Clarkson/Donal MacIntyre and Jeremy Kylie in terms of intelligence, daring-do and incisive wit .


Will be very surprised if you turn out to be a post-menopausal retired post-mistress - out of interest will we be getting a low down on who the real jrussel is in the article?

Everyone please leave the man/woman alone.....jrussell is not the only troll on here. I suspect that most people posting day in and out on this site are trolls themselves. If you're worried about being exposed for posting nonsensical viewpoints, don't do it, even under a nom de plume of apparent innocence!

I was not referring to you...in fact I thought your post was one of the most credible.

Wow, I read the first page of this a couple of days ago, and it's gone a wee bit mental since then. People do care about the strangest things. You type a load of stuff on a forum that is viewable by anyone with an internet connection, but then you worry if someone might write about it. Why put it out there in the first place?


I still think this whole thread is a super wind up.

I've never been able to take this chap seriously, as the name is also the alter ego of a mate of mine who uses it to wind up and strongly influence Those Who Must Be Obeyed. Which has on occasion led to situations of hand-on-knee by said TWMBO. I see the name and I just guffaw at the memory of those encounters. Now that's trolling in style.

Oi shut up you lot, this is our (by which I of course mean my) big chance to get quoted in the national press as part of a major investigation into arsing-about on message boards, so don't be pissing on 'Scoop' Russell's chips like this.


Some of us want to live the dream I'll have you know.

    • There is a large amount fresh veg available in the green book cage outside the copleston church,sprouts,spring onions,potatoes,parsnips and bread rolls,pop down shame to see it get wasted          
    • On the original topic - there was more of this on Whateley Road today. Same place but the other side of the road. Could be the same dogwalker as for the other nearby roads?   I don't have a dog - but would have thought it's hard for owners not to notice when a dog is doing it in the middle of a pavement? 
    • Thought I’d take a trip down to Rye Lane this morning to visit the charity shops etc. I usually park in the Morrisons car park and buy stuff there and then the nearby shops. I know there are a few shops near the Aylesham centre that are having to close (Boots the chemist was a shoplifters favourite over the years) but I was shocked to see the extent of shop closures, graffiti, overall decline in the area.  Sometimes I get the bus and wanted to visit the Crises charity shop but it didn’t open until 10.30am and it had a coffee place inside. They have a shop in Rye Lane but are missing out on early rising customers. Walking down towards Santendar and the Primark store was very empty.Just hope that isn’t due for closure. The security guards are very nonchalant. The Scope charity shop has a prime position but doesn’t promote the shop Greggs have done away with their self service due to the number of thefts of food items.  The Poundland was quite empty too but I visit this one as they have stock since the Camberwell one closed down.         
    • Maybe I'm behind the times, but in the old days if you went to a pub for charity fundraiser you'd have a quiz or karaoke and you'd be chipping in for a new scanner at your local hospital or maybe sending some poor kiddie for some cancer treatment abroad. Nowadays you can roll down to the Old Nun's head in Nunhead and tip your money into a bucket for some sad young woman to go a private surgeon and have her breasts sliced off -  as if that was going to be some kind of life-saving treatment!  Not only that, she's publicising her Valentine's crowdfunder with a funny ha ha (not) cartoon of a girl (see pic) with a hypodermic in her bum and calling it 'Valen-Tits-off'. Jesus wept. Whatever happened to hearts and flowers? It's so unbelievably sick. I'm a woman, I've pretty much still got all the woman-bits intact. Periods and puberty weren't much fun, I was bullied at school, wondered about my sexuality and boys and spots and the rest of it, got called a lezzer by the class cow, but I got through it. And I would no more think that cutting bits off a girl was the solution to her misery than I would put my teenage daughter on a diet if she was diagnosed with anorexia. I can't be the only person who finds the pub - and its publicity material - very VERY offensive?
