I'd say she'd meet the Substantial need criteria. And even if they said she was moderate, you could easily argue that by not acting, she is likely to become substantial. Early intervention is a buzz word they like, suggest to them that they act on it. It'll save them money in the long run, that shoul help convince them.

Wow, this thead has gone all special hasn't it!

That should have read ODD whirl, not off.

"off whirl of memories of 1989". Therein lies the problem, in 1989 I started secondary school, and wasn't remotely in to any bands. Within 2 years, my mate had gotten me in to stuff like Black Sabbath. Had the pixies been anywhere on my young radar, I may have become a fan, but they weren't.

I think what I'm saying is that no band should be rated as highly as some are. I am however going to a pixies gig, you couldn't pay me to sit through the verve, radiohead and some others.

That he is. Thanks to a generous donation of tickets. I think I've been harsh saying I hate them, in fact I'm not sure I ever did. Basically I was never in to them, and couldn't have named many of their tunes. From what I have heard, I still stand by my comment that they weren't this amazing special genius band that some make them out to be. Neither were Guns N Roses before anyone says it, but Slash is still my favourite guitarist!

The council have a duty of care, and if they don't respond, then she could well end up with a permanent disability, try reminding them of that. I know you shouldn't need to do this, but lie on the phone if you have to!

Hopefully they will, this is a long term investment. Some babies aren't even born yet, and mine is still too attached to mum's boob to come out alone with me. But, down the line, I'd like to know people I can meet in the park with the kids.

I'd be up for that, something like a quiz will be a good way to get to know each other without having to sit there trying to think of what to say next.

Ha ha, touche! Although deluded isn't crazy IMO.

I'd be up for a guitar hero session, although I'm pretty shite at it to be honest. I'll have to get my les paul controller and game back off my mate and get some training in.

I have to side with Bizzy there. I have no interest in falling out with Louisiana, but I do find her tone patronising on occasion, and it wins me up. Better to just be nice and have proper debate about something.

Cool, lets go with that then. Plough, 22nd, 8pm.

I got bored of FIFA games, because basically you pay for the same game year in year out, with just a few minimal improvements IMO.

Yeah, our drummer had a load of demos of bands when he was getting married, and went for the only one who provided a live disk. We hired these guys to come and record us. Not cheap, but hopefully we'll get a good quality result.

That is strange, I'll look in to it. The tracks on there are studio recorded, and I'm not actually too keen to be honest. We will soon have a live (recorded in the studio not a gig) video clips on there though. Please do come to both gigs, and do what you can, we'd be very grateful for any results, and won't be looking to sell anything, just use as demos to get more wedding gigs and stuff (yes we've all sold out). As I say, I will definitely get you a few beers in!

I like the guy with the huge hair, and the Essex girl.

I only saw them for the first time today, and I definitely approve of anyone wanting to slap the pair of them.

Can't believe no mention on motd of Drogba's diving, he was even praised for staying on his feet for the second goal. Ironic.

Oh, and we have one guitar, bass, drums, 3 or 4 piece horn section (probably no more than 2 mics), and 3 vocal mics.

Drogba's diving is a joke. Even John Terry seemed to be telling him to have a word with himself at one point. I really hope that one day soon he has a stone wall penalty waved away because he is the boy who cries wolf.

I'm thinking the half moon in december may be better for us, as we're definitely be going through a desk. At the hob the guitar and bass may just be coming through amps. Not played there before and don't know what their set up is.

Thought that was a good match other than the score line. Didn't think we deserved to lose by 2 goals, but there you go.

May I suggest The Plough as the next venue.

Yeah, but why are you posting this here? Shite pub too by the way.
