Real England

If only it was meth-making

Is there an English equivalent to DIY meth labs?

^you may have a point, there...

the realest suburban house would be one recently reclaimed by an absentee buy-to-let landlord after a vietnamese grow-op has fled, nothing but soiled carpets, walls hacked apart to bypass the mains and a damp ganja smell that will never disappear

the trafford centre is hyperreal england, a £1.65 bn "people's palace" in the parish of eccles, the last & greatest out of town shopping centre in the country

opulence largely down to one john whittaker, a billionaire & bruce forsyth lookalike who has sold up & gone to live in the isle of man. it's full of gold leaf, marble floors & murals depicting the manchester ship canal (who used to own the land) as well as various members of his family wearing laurels in front of roman villas &c. the exterior is covered w/ gold griffins that have a faintly 3rd reich vibe. in barton square, they quietly pipe in stirring music so that you are put in an appropriate mind to appreciate the grandeur. it has the busiest cinema in the uk, an enormous ship-styled food-court w/ a sky that changes from day to night, & what is apparently the largest chandelier in the world:

had a semi-transcendent feeling hanging out there for a day this summer, mb due to codeine, but there is something exotic about its 90s optimism & generosity. despite it's ornamentation it feels socially unpretentious, it's not somewhere ppl go to be seen. its filled w/ bathos & foreign ppl taking photos. i don't think mancunians appreciate it. i harbour hopes of it being dug up hundreds of years hence by very excited, clueless archaeologists.

*peoples', ugh

Thank you for "Cinema Laserquest/New Orleans"

on a Sunday evening when the Trafford Centre closes the nearby M60 routinely slows to a crawl as the mass of shoppers hits the road

I didn't appreciate it when I lived in manc but I feel quite fond of it now

Nigel Farage was a couple of seats in front of me on a London-bound train on Wednesday. I can exclusively reveal he was reading a Thatcher biography, but I couldn't tell which one.

"UKIP 4 ENGLAND" overwritten with "BNP 4 ENGLAND".

The owner of a Staffordshire Bull Terrier that ripped the head off another dog has admitted that the animal was dangerously out of control at the time.

David Savage, 44, threw the body of Elvis, a Pomeranian, under a car, after the attack, a court heard, as a four-year-old girl looked on.

David Savage, who has a previous conviction in 2006 for having a dog out of control, pleaded guilty to owning a dog dangerously out of control in a public place at Halton Magistrates’ Court, Cheshire, today.

The dog, which is called George, bulled through a gate at a property belonging to Margaret Antell when it snatched Elvis in its jaws, tearing the pet’s head off in the attack last month.

pomeranians are some fucking awful shit but this is not a thing that should happen to them

maybe belongs in Cheshire thread

yap! yap! yap! yapyap! yap! feed me! yap! fuck off! yap!

o elvis, your microdominant ways met their end in the teeth of an underfed & abused biting machine

There were lots of photos of Elvis on this woman's twitter feed after this was first reported in the summer, she protects her tweets now, though.

obviously no lenient words for the owner

punishment for being such a fucking awful human should probably be being tied up in a cell with own dog (untied). if still alive after 12 hours then freed. good test of human-dog relations, command-giving etc

you might not like pomeranians but that seems excessively cruel to her

well obviously - I said so myself! probably a him given the name btw, and given the mauling - probably tried to be dominant, poor bastard

Elvis in happier times.

want to cry now

a couple of years ago i saw a young mixed race girl with a staffie thought of matt dc' post about them only being owned by racists

/and/ thought

my ex-dog (;_;) was 1/4 staffie and on our walks we regularly met staffies I can only describe as 'delightful' - when treated well their default character is lovely, playful, loyal & really quite amusing

idk if that's innate though or just what happens when you train a dog to be affectionate. talented dogs: discuss

Romford’s royalist MP Andrew Rosindell said he “couldn’t believe his eyes” when he pulled an unscathed portrait of the Queen from the burnt-out ruins of the British Embassy, during a visit to Libya last week.

The Foreign Affairs Select Committee member, and vocal advocate of the Royal family, requested a special visit to the gutted building in Tripoli during a two-day meet-and-greet with Libya’s new democratic interim government.

“Everything inside the embassy was burnt out, there was just ash,” Mr Rosindell told the Recorder, “but I saw something white out of the corner of my eye, and underneath the rubble was a portrait of the Queen - practically untouched - I couldn’t believe my eyes.
