What happened to the Finsbury Park thread?
Tower block fire - london
- Thread starter robfosters
- Start date
A large number of my friends are trying as we speak to move out of London but the problem is their isn't much work inside their chosen fields outside of London, I know my wage ain't the best in the world but compared with overall quality of life the only thing I'm really lacking is entertainment and high quality restaurants.
But I'm not a fan of London, too many people makes me agitated.

Didn't she apologize on behalf of the whole of the UK for the way Syrians were being treated or something? Chick's an idiot.
The same Lilly Allen that claims to be common but actually went to private schools all her life?
That is one issue for me - the work I'm best qualified for doesn't really exist outside of London and a little bit in Bristol and 1-2 other cities but while I love London after only about 4 years or so of living there I'd had enough of living there.
Sadly she is just another detached lovey who believes she is one of the people and speaks for them. She can't see the irony of it, but then most lovey's struggle with it and feel they need to be more vociferous in their words as this adds more to their credibility. I am sure she mixes with 'the people' more than many as that's where she lives, but her bias and hate clouds her words so often, her father was the same angry sort, even worse. It is why I hardly follow anyone famous on Twitter, the couple I do tend to be women I had a thing for when I was younger or know personally.

We have, it's called GD
Should start one of those threads "post something nice about the poster before you" with a twist
.Shame it almost always ends up with an argument becoming bitching.

i remember one of the forums i used to be on had an "arena" thread, every time you had a major fallout between 2 members the argument was moved in there (with only the 2 of them allowed to post) and the winner was decided by public poll
No holds barred? its gonna be a race for the your mother jibes.

yep, although the idea was that to win the argument you had to abstain from that sort of thing in order to win the vote.
cant remember if there was a penalty for losing other than just being the loser.
an interesting concept, and i suppose at least it let members really have it out rather than be blocked by moderating decisions and keep the hatred festering.

fraid not, can't remember which forum it was, just that it was a feature.
79 now is it..?
Does anyone know how many people lived there, and how many got out/were re-homed? I'm curious about how accurate that figure is likely to be. There is a mixture of chatter flying around at the moment, some plausible, some not, on top of what is being reported.

Last time I saw anything like realistic figures it was I believe estimated between 400 and 600 people would normally be in the building. Around 200-250 supposedly got out before firefighters arrived and another 65 were rescued from the building - it is also estimated that around 100 who'd normally be in the building weren't due to Ramadan i.e. were at their place of worship, etc. (or other reasons like working) so possibly you could be talking around another 100 unaccounted for potentially.
