These days when your in entertainment, darling, you have to be 'really' good-looking just be considered passable.


This is, of course, in contrast to real life where it seems you only need, say, a relatively level mouth and eyes which aren't crossed in order to consider yourself God's Gift.


How many times have I sat behind distressingly repugnant boys on buses, hearing them declare eg Lily Allen to be 'ugly'. I I mean, have you looked in the mirror lately, mate?

That made me chuckle, we used to say butters when I was in secondary school (early/mid 90s), nice to hear it's still being used!

Butters is a reference to the Johnny Rotten Country Life butter advert.

Even Johnny's best friends wouldn't describe him as a handsome chap.

And also is it just me or does he emphasise the first syllable of the butter's title?

That's our Johnny, still bringing the system down pound by pound.

Sorry to contradict you AR, but I have it on the best authority from my homies that the Rotten connection is the one that is true.

Poor Lily, I think she's mighty purty and she has the shiniest hair.


My vote goes to Jarvis Cocker. Nine and a half stone wet through of pure filth.


But if I had to pick a pretty boy, I'm ashamed to say that Lee Meade (who I believe has now brought out an album and is officially therefore a pop star) made me come over all funny when I took my niece to see Joseph. More men should wear loin cloths.

Sorry to contradict you, but that saying was around long before the bug eyed Mr Lydon sold his soul to country life

I think she has dangerous looking eyes like her Dad; eyes like Jean Reno and Eddie Izzard. Difficult to explain really. Still, I used to babysit her you know. But only when she was a baby. Maybe that should have gone in the "Things you didn't know about forumites" topic. Oh well, it's out there now.
She got her record deals through hard work and word of MySpace. No, seriously. But I bet her Mum (film producer Alison Owen who produced Elizabeth and loads of others) and Dad Keith had something to do with it. Far too many famous kids of famous parents around at the moment!

Looks-wise, I think she makes a pretty good fist of what she's got.


Music wise, I think someone else makes a pretty good fist of what they get from her.


You're right about Dad though.

I guess it is unfair to call her plain actually - if I saw her in the street I'm sure I'd think she was pretty, it's just that Famousland has a higher set of standards.


Don't think her music's very interesting though and her continual presence in the papers (most recently complaining about her press coverage...hmm..) is a bit tedious. Perhaps I should just duck out of this thread!

Totally with you on Peaches Geldof, but I think Lily Allen has had some great tunes. I do think however, that it can't of hurt her having 2 parents in the business!


I don't mind Jack or Kelly Osbourne, but have huge respect for Aimee Osbourne, who wanted nothing to do with The Osbournes TV show, and seems to want to do things on her own.

Jim Morrison - now there's someone who's even less interesting than Lily Allen.

    • That is the similar issue with Peckham Rye - the council have prioritised commercial interests over the community (residents and environment), and utterly shameless in doing so. For a council to be wilfully cirumventing legal ruling, is more than alarming. Their actions should always be transparent and beyond reproach, not shady and biased for particular commercial interest. It raises the question of where else they manipulate commercial interests and generally look to break rules.    
    • I can't see it will ever be finally resolved, unfortunately. Although the local problems were made much worse due to the move of the Sylvester Road  delivery office to Peckham, Royal Mail has had issues ever since it was privatised. Whenever the local MP gets involved, things get a bit better temporarily, then they just deteriorate again. I hope I'm wrong, but there are similar postal delivery issues all over the country. I think there are currently discussions ongoing to change the delivery requirements which Royal Mail is supposed to adhere to for first and second class post. Silly question, but are you actually expecting letters? I haven't had any post for ages either, but I'm not expecting any! Much stuff these days is done by email or on apps. The East Dulwich delivery office is in Peckham, not West Dulwich?
    • Hi, over the last few years, I have had a problems with my joint freeholder. For the last 15 years there has been roof leaks and we had some repairs done around 2016 but I got another leak a few years ago. Instead of investing money in a new roof or RICS survey, the joint freeholder is trying to force me to pay for non-essential work in hallway (tiling, new door and repainting) which will come to approximately £3K via Section 20 of the Landlord and Tenants Act 1985. We keep going around in circles and I want to suggest a mediator again (ideally with a property solicitor). Key reason I am wanting to work with a lawyer is my joint freeholder is also solicitor, so needs to be someone who has expertise of leases. I have proposed a managing agent for maintenance for the building or a declaration of trust but they wont agree, so we are unable to move forward. We are just two flats in one house and trust has completely broken down. I think they are trying to make life so difficult that I sell, so they can do an extension. I love my flat and I am not in a situation where I can move. Can anyone suggest a mediator that can help us find some common ground? Any advice welcome and DM if you prefer. 
    • This problem has been going on since before Covid due to the closure of the Dulwich sorting office. The local MP Ellie Reeves is aware and has written to the Post Office. They give the same generic responses about 'temporary' staffing issues. Would encourage people to email Ellie Reeves. It's about time this was finally resolved!
