[Pickman's model]

My idea is quicker, easier, and more environmentally-friendly. Besides, I am done with having kids.

no it isn't.

Then don't post about him. The whole point of putting someone on ignore is that you then ignore them rather than try and start up conversations about them.

thanks dad!

 

[leanderman]

A Herodian solution?

Thanks for posting up my picture but I'm not entirely sure what your point is.

Honestly now, what's your mental age? I'm guessing about 12.

 

[leanderman]

Quite keen to read the new book exposé of Scientology, which is not being published here because of our libel system. Apparently, there are many fewer people in this cult than it likes to make out.

 

[pissflaps]

well. i was trying to make a point about the hypocrisy surrounding the criticism of modern religions versus established ones, but i'm happy to go back to having pops at me if that's what everyone else feels like doing. whatever steams your collective onions.

The recent film "The Master" is about scientology like cult. Good film.

^ it was a bit slow. I've watched glaciers with more pacing.

Yeah, cuz they're all the same right? Idiot.

I thought you were talking about Antic.
Their next venture is in the Crypt.

I was so looking forward to that film.
And when I finally got to see it I couldn't get out of the cinema quickly enough.
Great acting though.

What town was that then, Mecca?

What the fuck?

That unlicensed car parking business car wash outside the Barrier Block seems to be turning into that game where you have to move cars about.

[Brixton Hatter]

There's a few good lines in that but fucking hell he talks a lot of shit too. You know once I rapped WITH A REAL LIFE BLACK GUY and hey look I DIDN"T GET KILLED BY ANY JAMAICANS

The pervy liar can fuck off. Wanker.

from what i've read of it he talks sense. fucking hell people hate on the hipsters, but also hate on the people who say pretty much what is said here every day.

would rather go for a beer with him than a lot of the fuckers who have invaded brixton

I wasn't hating on hipsters in my post. (For what it's worth MillwallShoes I agree with you about gentrification etc. You've been a good poster since you joined, it's good to have you here ) I was more concerned about his article being borderline racist.

Get out of the Brixton forum, dwyer.

I walked past them as well on Saturday when I was on my way to football. I took great pleasure in loudly proclaiming them to be a "dodgy cult" as I inspected their stall. Apparently that's supposed to really wind them up. But they just looked a bit worried so I left

 

[MillwallShoes]

Whilst on the subject, I had the Mexican Gourmet Veggie Burger in JD Wetherspoon the other day, and it was as good as anything I've had in one of these poncey upmarket burger shacks. No, actually it was better.

£6.69 with an alcoholic beverage of your choice

the meat version is a giant amongst burgers

I can tell you how Scientologists "got permission to hog a large chunk of public pavement area outside Brixton tube on Saturday" - their normal method of operation is not to ask for the proper permit and hope that nobody reports them for not having a street trading license, which is of course required as they are selling the Dianetics book. Not for donations, not a giveaway (try asking...) but selling.

A quick call to the appropriate street trading department of the local council can normally get that sorted out, or a passing copper can ask to see their permits. Regardless of what they say, they are not considered a religion here in the UK and as such do not qualify for any of the "exemptions" that charities and religious organisations can get for such things.

Unfortunately asking them about Xenu does not normally produce much results because the lower level members aren't told about the Xenu story until they reach "OT 3" level in their training, and "for your protection" OT3 members or higher are taught to lie about its existance.. Apparently knowledge of the story is so dangerous that if people read it and are "unprepared" simply reading it can kill you. However, I'm still here, having read it, and given that it was originally going to be made into a film by Hubbard, "Revolt in the Stars", either Hubbard didn't take the "can kill" idea very seriously after all or he was in fact planning on committing mass genocide by exposing unprepared people to the story in the form of a movie. Interestingly "going to the cinema" featured highly in the Xenu story as our thetans were submitted to confusion and torture by being imprisoned in a cinema for 36 days - which could well have been a prophecy for the Twilight saga...

Anyway - looking for good eggs, the ones from sainsburys and M&S are pretty mediocre and I have never looked for eggs when I've been in the market. Can anyone suggest a place to get decent free range eggs in Brixton? Maybe Brixton whole foods??

 

[editor]

Iceland do free range eggs. Or if you can wait until the weekend there's always the farmer's market.

 

[ash]

Lots of places do free range eggs but its difficult to find good ones with lovely yokes and taste. Do the Iceland ones fit that criteria? You have however prompted me that lidl do great eggs so ill prob go there

Last time I was in there they had Chapel Farm eggs which I'm sure are no better than M&S ones. I'm no connoisseur d'oefs though.

I'm not an egg expert, but I do recall someone telling me that Iceland's free-range eggs were "surprisingly tasty."
