"Shoreditch High St tube station should be called Banglatown"

Perhaps you might draw up some guidelines of what BBC news stories you find acceptable for discussion in this forum and which ones you'd like banned?

sure no problem. How extensive do you require the document to be?

I'd also like to not limit the scope and range of this project so maybe I could draw up a seperate document with guidelines for each of maybe say the top 100 news websites out there. That way should someone stray far from the tried and tested bbc we're ready for them and confusion and transgressions will not arise.

I'd like a little graphic icon made up saying, "Thread personally approved by chegrimandi" please.

Perhaps a nice thumbs up icon might be suitable with your smiling face behind it.

Threads that fail to pass your requirements could be automatically set to red Comic Sans text with a looped "Tut tut" soundtrack playing back while they're being read.

I think that would sort the problem out.

to be honest I think if you go down this root - not only will the popularity of your website increase overnight 16 fold - statistically and scientifically proven no less - but there will be an element of humour and fun introduced that many users complain is somewhat lacking at present.

*a thumbs up smiley*
 
Perhaps we could give you a slightly more chummy nickname and have you pro-actively pop up at random intervals to warn posters about what is and is not acceptable?

e.g.

Cheeky Cheggers says: "No! You can't post that thread!"
 
We could rename more:

* Knightsbridge : Toffs Town
* Westminister : Nobs Town
* Richmond : Chav-Town-On-Thames
* Leicester Square : Hen Nightsville

Tottenham Court Rd: Gayville.
Brixton: Ganjatown.
Notting Hill: Carnivalopia and Poshton.
 
As a Councillor for Haggerston Ward in Hackney which includes Shoreditch High Street there is no way that I will back any change of name to Banglatown.

You should definitely have your own website. Sounds like you have the key to the universe. Well done.
 
When the council announced it was marketing Brick Lane as "Banglatown" I thought "yes please - let's make it authentic. I want goats wandering the streets eating yuppies' clothes, I want it to flood every monsoon season..."

I might set one up - would you be my number one fan if I did? You would then be the biggest and most committed fan of what would in all likelihood become the biggest website in the world - sound appealing? I bet it does.

I've always walked to Brick Lane from Liverpool Street cos I didn't know it had a closer tube station!

Until they shut it, Brick Lane had a station near the Bagle shops. Shoreditch station on the East london line. I'm assuming that they are going to move it somewhere a bit more obvious.

Nah - the new Shoreditch one is on Shoreditch High St (corner of Commercial St - or is it road? They're so confusing), further away from Brick Lane, closer to Hoxton. I wonder what they're going to do with the disused Shoreditch station, though?

The track where the station is (or just before) will become a ramp and a bridge to take the ELL over the mainline tracks that go into Liverpool Street - through what was the old Bishopsgate Goods Yard and then into the new Shoreditch High Street station.
