That's nothing new though, you only have to look at the history of pretty much any religious group to see that it didn't take long before it was all about money...

Boys, boys, boys, you are so superficial, the lot of you. I love the local churches, and frequent the lot of them. I would hate Father O'Connor to find out I was hanging out with the protestants, so I go to him at St. Thomas Moore, and I love and respect the vicar Diana at St Barnabus - so I am to be found there too.


I worship enough for the lot of you - so worry not, I have covered all the bases, and will get us all into heaven!

Oh my god I've just had a horrible vision of some Deity that's a cross between Mammon, Bacchus, Jade and Chantelle.

Perhaps they can set up the church in a newly converted Magdala where they'll worship by throwing money and alcopos through huge hooped earrings on to an altar made of lard encased in Burberry.


Yeeeesh *shudders*

After the miranets come the miniarets. Is that a foxton's mini that can't be moved because it's had it's tires nicked and been put on bricks while the estate agent was busy selling a ?750,000 broom cupboard as being 'perfect for a professional couple' because the bathroom was the size of a newborn tortoise perchance?


I'll go get some air shall I?

Whilst not disagreeing with you that a lot of the stuff sold at the Northcross Road market is "tat" (most markets though specialize in "tat" outlets - it is part of theri charm), I must rush to defend the quality of the cake(s) sold there. The cheesecake in particular is better than anything sold in local shops, chains or otherwise, and the chocolate cake is to die for.


And the relatively recent arrival of the English Cheese van (Fridays only) is a boon for those of us who suffer vertigo trying to mount the step outside "The Cheeseblock"...

    • So, private polling for Labour in London puts Labour and the Lib Dems with the same number of seats on Southwark Council come May. It’s not clear from this Guardian article (link below) if that will be all due to Labour losses or if the Lib Dems will actually make some gains in Southwark. Either way, the Greens are set for a massive surge in seats across London, if the polling is correct. Labour urged to listen to progressive voters or face ‘political earthquake’ in London | Labour | The Guardian
    • I shouted at someone who pushed by me on the tube last week, as they got off I said your could least say "excuse me". Somebody told me "they did".  Whoops, humble pie. I have no idea whether the original poster overreacted. I have done far too many times, and try (or should try harder) to learn from this, and do regret not handling things better/calmer.  I expect most of have similar 'guilty' secrets. There's a separate thread on why, being British, we apologise when it is not our fault, or when we simply want to get past someone.  Excuse me (and/or thank you when they move out of your way) is appropriate.  Even people who you wouldn't fancy meeting on a dark alley do this.  And I apologise for being so judgmental, I couldn't find the right words.   (if you remember this ad you may be considered by some to be old)  
    • Leon came to do a full electrical check and sort out some problem lights yesterday. He came on time, was very polite and friendly and was a pleasure to do business with. He didn’t laugh at me when one of the problems was very badly designed lights (even if they look great) where the bulbs needed to be changed. He’ll probably get years of repeat business from these lights. His rates are very reasonable and I don’t hesitate to recommend him. p.s I found him on this forum but have only just joined, specifically to leave Leon a review.
    • I hope you have sought medical attention as well.  You should have antibiotics as well, as someone else has said. You could get sepsis too.
