There's a fish and chip shop down the street from us called The Codfather. Sign is done in exactly the same font as the movie. Quite amusing.

Isn't thank rather a long name for a fish and chip shop though, Steve?

― C J (C J), Friday, 7 May 2004 09:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean "that" not "thank" Grr

― C J (C J), Friday, 7 May 2004 09:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Thank is quite a short name for a chip shop. But not as short as Jim.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Friday, 7 May 2004 09:44 (twenty-one years ago)

How short is Jim, by the way?

On Deptford High St there is a fried chicken emporium called BERTIE ROOSTER: the noblest of birds. And then there is a Wodehousian picture of a chicken all spiffed up in a cravat.
Genius! and possibly worth going to Deptford for.

There was a chinese in Foxbar called The Wan King, and one in Clydebank called The Lucky Cat.

I thought it was funny enough that there was a posh Chinese in Glasgow called Ming's.

well actually we've been outside it, but decided to avoid a place called "mings"

there is no justification for locking the copycat threads

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:13 (twenty-one years ago)

Totally

we need to lock Dan Perry, he is mad with power!

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:14 (twenty-one years ago)

The justification for locking the copycat threads is as follows:

Copycat threads are fucking annoying.

The end.

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:17 (twenty-one years ago)

that's goon not good

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:18 (twenty-one years ago)

my old local Chinese was a Ming's

An excellent opportunity to invoke the name of EastEnders scriptwriter Ming Ho, then.

― Barima (Barima), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Dan, you are totally out of line on this and you are abusing your moderator rights.

― Super-Kate (kate), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:19 (twenty-one years ago)

You can tell me I'm abusing my moderator PRIVILEGES when I start deleting people's posts willy-nilly.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I would like to re-name my chip shop "Fie on You, Dan Perry".

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually I take that back; I will concede that you have a point when you tell me I'm abusing my moderator priviliges when etc etc etc. Redirecting irritating conversation to one place != stopping people from talking complete nonsense (which anyway I am a gigantic proponent of).

I liked the Indian thread more, but I'll concede Dan has a point, despite the zero tolerance shutdown.

Can I start calling you 'Bastion', Dan?

― Barima (Barima), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:25 (twenty-one years ago)

The Indian restaurant thread was the funniest one anyway and that had jumped the shark long before it was locked.

I am totally in favour of thread locking. Especially at comical moments.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Barima: Hahaha!

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:28 (twenty-one years ago)

i am only in favour of it when i get the last word in, which happened twice under DANG RULE, so carry on

but seriously, if you can lock copycat threads you can lock CRW's threads which amount to the same thing (repeating a formula)

― stevem (blueski), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:29 (twenty-one years ago)

5 similar threads started by one person over the course of a week vs 5 similar threads started by several people over the course of a day

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Boo Hiss Dan Perry!

Now what am I going to do at work?

Can we rename this thread "If you opened a chip shop, Indian restaurant, breakfast cafe, pub or bar, what would you call it?"

― dog latin (dog latin), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:32 (twenty-one years ago)

(Unfortunately, I was following one of the copycat threads long after I had lost interest in the original threads. Grrrrr.)

― Super-Kate (kate), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:34 (twenty-one years ago)

ok i'll wait a few days before starting a copycat thread next time then

― feh (blueski), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:35 (twenty-one years ago)

― PJ Miller (PJ Miller), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Yes, indeed, Friday madness should always be allowed and in fact, actively encouraged.

Fancy a chip?

― penelope_111, Friday, 7 May 2004 13:37 (twenty-one years ago)

I would never have started this thread on a Thursday. Unless there was a bank holiday on the Friday. Then I would have.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Friday, 7 May 2004 13:41 (twenty-one years ago)

I would call mine "Smoke Me A Curried Kipper and Chips I'll Be Back For Breakfast".
