Another Sean eh?


I agree it's a pretty poor effort there - it has been 3 different companies/brands in the last few years but it's always been fairly dog-eared and expensive


Pretty good range of world-cinema though...


And one of the girls who works there suffered a pretty horrible encounter with an attempted robbery, so I hope it's not the one you are talking about...

I found the girl ok, but the prices are a rip off.


I used to pay 50p for half an hour at the Elephant.


I wish someone would open another internet cafe as competition, cos my computer is very temperamental but I hate paying 1? for 20 mins.


The library is free, but you can't access e-bay or facebook at the library!

It's the kind of venture Inside 72 or Liqurice should set up during the day when it's quiet; all they need is a few cheap but powerful laptops and a wireless network (I think Inside already has one). They'd piss all over that pricey dump and sell a few drinks too.

I spent three hours in Osbourne Stewart the other day playing video games online. Eventually their patience began to wear thin and they asked me if they could help. I told them I wanted to buy three houses worth at least a million quid each and while they were trawling through their data-base to find properties to match, I racked up a High Score and bu**ered off sharpish!

Thouroughly sick of the video store on LL, discs are nearly always scratched and this is quite a pain as I have to try and explain to my daughter why Nemo is jammed again. Plus the Asian girl who works there is just about the rudest shop assistant I have ever had the misfortune to ever come across. I wish that the whole sorry lot of them and their substandard goods would just fold and let a honest reliable establishment open in their place.
We are often given the wrong videos, we get scratched videos, and now you have to pay when you bring them back (instead of when you pick them up) which means you pay twice if you have an overnight and a three day rental - and you have to come into the store and queue again. The staff are depressed and depressing at the same time and they look like they come from one of those "this is what will happen to you if you smoke" ads. Lovely place, great lighting

I'm so glad to see Osbourne Stewart, local estate agents and free internet access providers still have support after such malicious accusations were laid against them. The idea that one of their staff actually impersonated a member of the public and shamelessly promoted their business here on the forum is farcical, they would never do something so silly.


I wish them every success and once they've ceased trading as an estate agent and made the tough switch to being a DVD/webcafe, does anyone know what kind of movies they will stock?

excuse me but the 'asian' shop assistant, who is not actually asian, is the politest person there she helps out people without complaining, the people there work 8 hour shifts 5 days a week without breaks and they are forced to stand up for the full 8 hours, and it's the manager that is vile, she is arrogant and rude to customers without any excuse, and with the number of vile substandard customers that go in there, there is no reason why they are becoming vile.


Also the girl you are calling asian is the one that had a gun in her face during the robbery so it's not had to guess why she is not smiling all the time

    • It may be that the original purpose of the noticeboards could be changed to suit the changing needs of the ‘community’
    • Yes. I had already offered to do so  some time ago if you are not able to do this yourself. Monica is not in there every day, and it is holiday season at the moment. I will try to catch up with her in the next few weeks. I assume there is no hurry as this has been dragging on for so long. I will find out whether there was more than one key holder, or whether there was one for every notice board. Also whether the same key (or copies of the same key)  was used for each board. I will also find out how Monica  liaised with the relevant people on the council and what their job titles were I will ask what system there was for ensuring that only neutral and non commercial information is displayed on the boards, for getting that information and for updating it. Before I speak to Monica, it would be helpful to know if jellybeanz is offering to be the key holder for all the noticeboards and keep them up to date, or alternatively if anybody else apart from jellybeanz is willing to have a key. Please private message me if you prefer. I should make it clear that I am not offering to be a key holder or to be involved in this any further than I have outlined above. And also that I am not "getting a key". I am just finding out more from Monica. I feel that it would have been helpful to have addressed these practical issues at the outset.
    • I'm an air conditioning installer - this is everything you need to know about getting it fitted https://mol.im/a/14875047 via https://dailym.ai/android   This may be helpful (sorry it's the Daily Mail!)
    • I don’t want the gatekeepers/key holders deciding what or what doesn’t merit being on the board. It’s for council/municipal information only. It’s not right that commercial or political parties or social campaigners be allowed to take advantage of such a facility. So, if the key holder can work with the relevant councillor/s, this would be a great idea. If not, it woudn’t.
