Comments on: Tchai Ovna: Not Just For Hippies! http://submitresponse.co.uk/weblog/2004/07/21/tchai-ovna-not-just-for-hippies/ Tue, 25 Feb 2014 12:56:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.8.1 By: David Moncoeur http://submitresponse.co.uk/weblog/2004/07/21/tchai-ovna-not-just-for-hippies/comment-page-1/#comment-2529 Thu, 11 Jan 2007 16:15:51 +0000 http://mottram.textdriven.com/weblog/?p=649#comment-2529 At the root of this is sheer hatred of a facility which assists organisation of left-wing activism. There are similarly irrational qualities about the difficulties “authorities” are giving Beltane, The Forest and just about anywhere activists have begun to regularly meet to discuss action. That is definitely not about housing people, the capital put up for this obstruction project is what it is about.

The guys who run the shops are really nice - it’d be a shame if the tea garden was ruined.

Speaking of Tchai-Ovna, you may want to have a look at my Upcoming.org Tchai-Onva venue, seeing as you seem to have an account with it. I go to the Shawlands one quite a lot so I’ve created it as a venue. Maybe you could do the same for the West End branch.

That Times guy was being a total arse to my brother. I know for a fact he’s put everything he’s got into the place (as have the other staff!) and for people like that to just dismiss it, and diss the hair at the same time, for being some hippyish fad is really arrogant, not to mention unfair! The guy’s an example of why journalists should look at different sides to a story before publishing it.
You should consider getting a job at the Times yourself man! They could do with some good writers by the look of things

Also - after a quick skim: love your site, even though I’ve never been fishing. Do we know each other? Judging by your links, we have a few mutual friends in that real life.

Other than having a different background colour or borders, I’m not sure what I could do to differentiate more - the blockquote has a different font size, and has big top and bottom margins and a fair bit of padding on the sides… But the bit after the quote starts with ‘What a wrong-headed, pathetically prejudiced load of old cock!’ not ‘If there’s anything worse…’, so maybe you’re right!

Nice article. It was confusing to read, though, because the quoted section at the top, at first glance, looked like the rest of the body. It may be primarily my fault for skimming the top and jumping to the interesting part of the main content—“If there’s one thing worse than hippies…”—but I suggest just a smidgen of help on your part to further differentiate blockquotes from surrounding text. Currently, the size, indentation, and peripheral styles provide too few immediate visual cues.

Thank you.

Alan Brown comes across as a condescending wank. I didn’t realise Tchai Ovna was threatened - this is terrible. It’s such a great wee place. The west end has lost too many of these unique cafes and shops to Starbucks and style bars - it would be a real shame to see another go.
