You can just picture the scene: "Overall it's been a steady week in terms of sales. But we're getting a dip in harmonious vibes that we and prospective entrants to the gastro cult could do without reading about on the local, online bitch board. But apart from that, you're doing a fantastic job...

FHOF, take heart. I've just seen a pitch with great synopsis for a low budget horror. Check it out on Motorized Wheelchair, White Van, Dog, Cat and blossom post 307. It's a nightmare. Duke climbs behind chaise lounge, uncorks decanter and feels the fear....

Re: What's akin with The Dolphin?

This time the tall Gestapo type blonde waitress (the one with the aggressive manner who could do with a day or two at charm school) marched to the table and peered down her nose disdainfully at me. I can't think of a better Dolphin crowd puller than Shell1's description of the blonde and TBH TDA sh...

And just as tasteless . Depends on whether you spit or swallow. Is the wrong answer Mr Wolf. I'm new to this forum but it's pretty clear who's who on here and seems to me that Mr N is self appointed forum police, judge, jury & all round good egg rolled into one. If he says you is sad, bad, humo...

And here we have 'da man' himself. Though to be honest, he doesn't inspire much confidence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssdUrZWL7O8 Back to the drawing board, Duke of Clarence. Wolfy you are right about J-Pax being uninspiring but since when has that stopped an architect? Watch out Sydenham bec...

O now I see where you were coming from now Chazza, it was more of a What If... question, doh! (That's what gets me with posts and emails and texts, so much is lost in translation...grumble, grumble, moan, moan). That aside I think the fact that there's not a cinema in the area points to a gap in the...

If there are thousands of people out there, all wanting to see a cinema in Crystal Palace, why not put a business plan together, seek funding and make it happen? Let's see shall we; to begin with in these days of austerity which bank/broker would take a punt on loaning £3m+ to a community group wit...

O dear, there's just no accounting for taste is there? My humble apologies to Lee and anyone else who may have been offended by my last post. Promise not to post any more distasteful spoofs, shame cos I'd just written Nuremberg the Sequel!

I posted the following on another forum when I heard about New Crystal Palace Ltd's claims that the whole community were behind their plans to turn "Central South London" into a global attraction. Just to be absolutely clear it is a spoof. Do not contact your local Cllrs or MPs. Do not cal...

I think the entire proposal is a nonsense and I don't see anything OK about the theory behind the plans. For example can you see the multiplex retail and restaurant businesses, who will be paying a hefty rent for their salubrious locations, telling customers that there are more shops and restaurants...

I'm sorry, but that simply can't be allowed to happen.

The Crystal Palace existed in another era when the surrounding towns and city housed a fraction of the current population and cars. For a brief moment it was a spectacular building but it soon became a huge white or should I say grey (the history books record that it was never crystal clear as all t...
