Hey, I used to live in Hackney, before I moved to Frome, and you are obviously talking out of your arse about this area. Why are you hanging around on this thread you sad nob? Huh? Cunts like you make me ashamed to be a Tory.
 
Anyone know what's going on with Cafe Pogo?

I've heard there's been a change of management/people running it after a bit of a falling out? :hmm:
 
Glad that I'm not involved with such crap anymore. Reminds me of the hardcore vegans that ruined The Peace Centre in Rosebery Avenue around '83. Was funny how some of the most extreme ones were carnivores within a few years.

Oh FFS :rolleyes: I can appreciate where the vegan types are coming from being unhappy about meat being stored in a "vegan space" but if it was kept in separate freezers. I'd be more upset by all that food going to waste. I may not choose to eat meat, but surely that animal has had an even more pointless death than if someone had the chance to eat it?

daft vegan loon said:
Living in a non vegan world as a vegan can be very alienating, so is it too much to ask that we have one space that is completely vegan?

I wonder why the co-op member questioned did not feel uncomfortable about the animal corpses in the fridge? Would they feel comfortable if a murdered human corpse was kept in the fridge? I'm assuming they wouldn't, which underlies a specisist attitude that as a vegan I am fighting against.

:facepalm:

I should imagine the above person feels alienated in a non-vegan world because they are a bit of a silly twat, regardless of dietary preferences

No but I have now sussed out where it is, which is progress.

Vanilla stout sounds lush. They got any fruit beers?

thanx marty, that makes me feel better.

s'funny, i never had the same feelings of shame & nausea after a night at the cricketers. the butchers was unique in that way.
 
Anyone else had a trip on the new East London line extention from Dalston Junction yet? It's only open weekdays at the moment.

The brand new trains are really :cool:

Yes yesterday went from Dalston Junction to Hoxton. Then later from Hoxton to New Cross and then back to Dalston Junction.

Quite a few small delays and not many people on trains. But guess most people will be unaware of the lines opening.
 
it's not exactly getting much better :facepalm:

QUESTION to the NEW GOVERNMENT

PLEASE BRING BACK HANGING

There is only one way to deal with THUGS who would kill ... And that is to kill them.
 
oh so that's what that helicoptor was for. i was baby sitting in the park when it landed i thought it was some kind of display.
 
A witness, Guardian Journalist Paul Lewis, who was at London Fields, left a message on Twitter, describing the Chaos, which included armed police, air ambulance arrival and people ducking to the ground for cover. It is thought there was a battle between two groups, resulting in an innocent attender being shot. Paul Lewis spoke to witnesses, who said they saw a man bleeding from his side and saw the blood covered hands of the mans friend, who had tried to stem the bleeding.

Mayor of Hackney Jules Pipe, has since issued a statement saying: “Despite this very worrying incident, hundreds of people were able to enjoy the event in London Fields safely and without interruption.”

Exactly Jules, just one shooting per festival is nothing to worry about in the grand scheme of things. You big knobber.

I heard the helicoptor had to circle overhead for up to 5 minutes because people were reluctant to move and create a space for it to land....BBQs...serious bizniz.:facepalm:

A more prosaic reason may be that Hackney Parks were running a mini-festival, the market was on and the park was *heaving* with people. The area where the helicopter landed is an old cinder football pitch, where virtually no-one sits anyway. I suspect the volume of people was the issue, not people's reluctance to move away.

yeah i was there and there weren't any people sitting on the bit where the helicoptor landed even before it all happened.... the abandoning barbeque comment on that website was a ironic joke.
