Independent Leyton Orient Forum

Orient. I yearn for the days before Hearn. But then I am old....

Colchester. Soulless and in the middle of nowhere.
Barnet - Soulless and in the middle of a leisure centre. Not a patch on Underhill.
Stevenage - Purely for the abomination that was known as cheesy chips.

Ok.

Have I misunderstood your request?

Ok.

And lo, a great noticing of things began to take place......

Do they actually pay people to come up with this sh*t?

Many more than 17,000 there that day.

Hutch? Proper blast from the past? My memory’s not what it used to be - I always thought TD was spice Albert?

I've got an idea and it involves fireworks and a drum.

Who's operating the drum?

Can’t say but the fireworks are gonna go Off.

Can we throw crutches?

Also names of roads in Ilford

Back in my estate agent days (shudder), those roads in Ilford were called the Commonwealth Estate.

Whatever could he be implying?

Yep

Just finished first series of Severance. Can see it’s been covered here already but can confirm it is excellent.

Series 2 being dropped weekly at the moment. Have decided to wait until they’re all released so can binge it. Hate waiting on weekly episodes.

3 episodes in and that woman who's banging on about getting to Cooks Spings with her son needs to learn to shut the f*ck up and do as she's told. I hope I don't ruin things too much by saying this theme does continue and I may have shouted at the telly once or twice. I'd posted that before seeeing ...

Can I just mention Departure which has just appeared on Netflix. Mrs FTC had this on a few nights ago and I can heartily recommend that you avoid this utter turdfest at all costs. Dreadful acting with huge holes in the plotlines - not seen anything this bad since Amy Turtle left Crossroads Motel in ...

I wonder if he was ever fit to stand trial but assume this was tested prior to trial and proven beyond doubt that he had full mental capacity. I'm no bedwetter and am not looking to excuse his actions at all, but you have to be beyond totally f*cking mental to do what he did. Agreed. Wouldn't be su...

You need to start assessing your options and risks quickly. If it was me, I'd be seeking to exit yesterday. Mortgageability can disappear overnight for blighted blocks. I'm dealing with many households who have become trapped with unsellable flats, and witness up close the devastating impact it has...

Poor quality workmanship and design and construction defects. They're rife. And, unless you're lucky to have a house builder with a conscience, you'll need very deep pockets and be willing to spend many years litigating against them, if they're reluctant to remediate to an appropriate standard. You...

So where's the money gone? Where is it now sitting? Dunno. Any ideas? On the issue of local authority building stock, I can only point you at the last 40 years of underinvestment, austerity and right to buy. LA's make up a huge % of buildings / across the UK. Many of which are beyond life-span and ...

It's going to be hideous.

Still lots of public bodies that haven't got to grips with RAAC either. Suspect there's still loads of that stuff lying about undiscovered or ignored. Until of course when there's another collapse somewhere which will bring on another bout of hand wringing.

Pretty sure you could even turn it into a money spinner. Nailed on Pay-for-view winner. Or auction the rights to press the button. There's enough people (some around here, it seems) fantasising about putting someone to death - it'd make a fortune. I have a standing bet with a mate that before 2030,...

Small businesses can cope with the NI increase. We are only a small outfit of 5 people, but what we’ve done is add 10p on to the price of our most popular item (inner tubes) and that will cover it for the year. It’s not difficult. Good for you and it's a nice generalisation but we work in a service...

Record jump in number of businesses in financial distress. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c9vmrpdrk4eo Been predicting this for a while - always thought the economy was heading this way since late 2023 and in my opinion why Sunak bailed out in July and not in December (not that it did the Tori...

If you want him to suffer, then keeping him alive in solitary confinement for the rest of his days with nothing but the memories of his horrific crimes to keep him company is much more punishment than death. The death penalty just give him a way out. Plus, administering a death sentence isn't the c...
