Completely wrong in my case. In one particular shop in Crouch End, the manager gave a talk about his current line up of jeans, why they were special in terms of fabric and manufacturing. He also played some great Soul music during the time. Just goes to show how people with great taste in music have great taste in clothes. I'm pretty certain ????s will confirm this.


@Ms B


I believe in self-empowerment and my comments on stylists were geared towards your self-empowerment.


I also fully agree with your comments on bullying and a group of people bigging themselves up on this forum thinking they have a god given right to be the forum's mouth piece. The other thread involved passive aggression towards me but at the same time they were exposed for being a group of people bigging themselves without having any particular skill, talent or knowledge themselves.

I can confirm this for you UDT. ???? dresses in the finest Italian suits with a high thread count and silk content. He knows too well that the mix of fibres should be sufficient to maintain the shape of the cut whilst cooling in summer and providing a subtle aesthetic/luxurious feel. But catch him on a Saturday and he looks like a man who's been dragged through a Las Vegas poker house via Sports Direct.


His taste in music is however always impeccable.

UDT and new best friend ????, get ready to tear up the Lane...

Nah, Loz, only the style challenged thinks that.

I am most definitely style challenged! But not really too bothered by the fact.


I don't think soul music's crap or pretentious though. I really like a lot of the northern soul stuff (not really a fan of disco or all that 70s club soul stuff though).

Everybody's taste = different


Different taste does not = superior.


A lot (not all) "commercial music" is commercial because it's good and a lot of people wanted to buy it and listen to it. Not all commercial music is produced by the likes of Simon Cowell.

Indeed and many of us learned a long time ago that if you buy your clothes at Asda you have a lot more money to spend on Genesis tapes.


As demonstrated by the picture you posted earlier.

Show me a commercial music bass player who can play the bass better than Louis Johnson?

Back on topic.


I'm pretty certain I will never go into some west end shops because they are playing really loud, crappy MTV muzak. It's supposed to entive people in but just has the opposite effect on me.


But that's because I'm that 35 year old guy still wandering around River Island gradually realising that I cant wear any of it any more (and should have quit at about 27). When you get older it gets much harder so most people (if they ever cared about clothes) just become boring and play it safe. A personal shopper sounds poncy but they can help with that and find stuff in places you wouldn't normally go and break you out of a rut.

You think you have "special taste" in that you are somehow more enlightened than others.


Pretentious Bollox.

    • Community Notice Boards were  set up by councillors for the local community to advertise their meetings etc. Originally these had padlocks and keys were given to local community groups i.e Tenants and Residents' Association. Our T&RA used to advertise our meetings, AGMs, social activities, public meetings (i.e. hustings) Give and Take events, Southwark Council run groups/events. Unfortunately the padlocks were broken and boards vandalised. Our T&RA managed to get the Lordship Lane (Small Sainsbury) one refurbished and one in Underhill Road. However, it took ages for our local councillor to discover where the keys to these padlocks were left. We had 2 people from our T&RA who regularly posted details of events and activities in the East Dulwich Community Centre. The padlocks were again broken, and various flyers were posted which rarely had any connection with the area. We have a lady, in her 80s, who several times a year still goes round posting details of our and EDCCs activities, Look out for posters announcing the next Give and Take in February, our T&RAs AGM in April.
    • As most customers going to M&S do not get there via North Cross Road and most people going down North Cross Road are not going to M&S that's not really surprising
    • Can anyone recommend a good takeaway for a mild biryani.  Thanks.
    • You are seeing the Lenovo logo because that  is generated by the system's firmware, known as the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) This is part of the Power-On Self-Test (POST) process, which checks basic hardware functionality. If the system fails to proceed past the logo screen, it could indicate that the BIOS/UEFI cannot locate or access the bootable operating system. This is often due to:  If the drive has failed then  the BIOS won't find the necessary files to load the OS.  Even if the SSD is operational, bootloader corruption could cause the same issue.  Misconfigured boot order or settings in the BIOS/UEFI might prevent booting.   Diagnosing SSD Failure: To confirm whether the SSD is the problem: Enter the BIOS/UEFI settings (usually by pressing a key like F2, DEL, or ESC during startup). Check if the SSD is detected in the storage or boot section. Run any available diagnostics tools in the BIOS. If the SSD isn't recognized, it's likely failed or has a loose connection. Alternatively, you can boot the system using a live USB or external OS to verify SSD accessibility.
