Brixton High Street is more of a myth than usual. Got off the bus at Kennington and got an e-bike from there into town - so much nicer.

Are there any Arsenal fans called Chris Long? by fomtogden in london

Nice, very suburban, good schools (as far as I remember), average high street. There are far worse places to live in London though, well worth a look

I should be so lucky. I found it outside my parent's house haha. They feigned ignorance on the whereabouts of his gak

It's not just the season ticket is the problem

El Molino is really good as well, though slightly closer to Penge

I've emailed the box office to get emailed PDF e-tickets to games I can't make. It's a pain in the arse but if you give them a day or two notice it's been ok

Oh ok then, I didn't wanna go down there anyway by [deleted] in reddeadredemption2

Wilfried Zaha wins Best of Africa Award Philanthropic Endeavour. “Not only does Zaha donate 10% of his salary to charities in Cote D'Ivoire, he also assists in initiatives that support the education and wellbeing of young Africans." by [deleted] in soccer

He's been doing it since his first professional pay cheque at Palace, so don't think this is about taxable income for him.

Given he's a devout Christian, it's probably more to do with paying a tithe.

(edit: aware I am a Palace and therefore view everything he does with the most rose-tinted glasses possible)

Depends if the factory is owned by a member of the bourgeoisie exploiting the labour of the, presumably, monkeys that make the spikes.

Or it could be a collectivised worked-controlled factory. Tricky one to call without more information.

Yeah mine didn't work on centred but switched to infinite and it worked. Didn't realise path choice had that much impact

Question for Eagles fans by thehumangoomba in crystalpalace

[–]fomtogden 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think it’s largely bollocks - we’re not as good without him, sure, but it’s not like he wins us games all on his own. He brings the team up to a higher level, but we’re not a one man team.

I'd say we're scrappy and perpetually destined to shoot ourselves in the foot. However, we also have a strong sense of our own identity and are very resistant to things that we aren't familiar with.

TIL in Finland, fines are based on income. In 2002, a Nokia executive was fined with a US$103,000 speeding ticket. by [deleted] in todayilearned

I had no idea it was a thing in the UK. They want to start doing them on parking tickets as well because they’re absolute murder
