Are you serious?

That is one of the cooprerations that everybody has heard of in Denmark, I newer thought they would go out of business.

Hmm. We used to have them 'round where I live, but that's been years ago. Honestly, I thought they'd gone away long before. It is sad to see such an institution pass away, though.

Yep, no more Woolies!

Also, no more MFI (which means we shall have to restrict jokes about dodgy flatpack to IKEA now). Currys/PC World/Dixons and Borders are all having trouble, and if the Icelandic factor was important in the collapse of Woolies and MFI, then it might be curtains for Hamleys, House of Fraser, Iceland, Somerfield and Oasis too!

I will miss woolies too and while we are finally getting an Ikea in this deprived area

it doesn't have the scope for MFI/MI5 puns about being really badly fitted up

Waiting for werewolf deadlines! I can start a Day early as long as everything's to me on time, but it's not at all nice to end one before it's supposed to be over.

At least the 'Downs clock is fixed again.

Black ice - it rained and then it froze this morning and I had a journey to rival Frodo's in order to walk to nursery and work. I won't be doing that again - it might be OK for me to struggle into work but I think I put the lad's life at risk attempting that!

Black ice! Phenomena I've never experienced in my comparitively warm clime. From what you say, Lalwendë, I'm not a bit envious.

I assign the writer of this article. Well, you might want to skip everything else until you get to the last paragraph. Such an ignoramus. If you're lucky (or otherwise) you might see my comment and people who have commented on that comment.

Nerwen · 12-03-2008, 09:23 AM

Uh... Lindale... there are nearly 3,000 comments!

I looked at 20 pages of the comments but didn't see one I thought to be yours. The name that is apprarantly the point of your ire is not nearly as bad as many of the others listed.

I actually read and enjoyed that article, Lindale

If I ever start an emo band it's name shall be Projected Helicopter Valentine, according to the 'emo band name generator'. Worse than Hitler! What in the name of Mordor is "emo" though? I hear all the kids talk about it, often with vitriolic contempt, but I'm not quite sure what it stands for? Name a famous typical emo band someone!

I assign to Mordor the financial crisis and economical downturn, caused by greedy men in banking and finance, but payed for by normal people like us.
