I'm inclined to agree with keef. Like many things something may seem a good idea in principle but not necessarily work so well in practice. It is of course difficult to please all of the people all of the time. I imagine splitting off a games room might result in the slow death of games threads as they are probably something people click on trivially when posting in the lounge is a bit slow. I like the idea of the drawing room in principle especially after many complaints that threads are undermined or that it was deemed too trivial an environment for threads like the camberwell fire, but sadly it has resulted in a stultefyinh atmospherethat has rather stifled activity in there. I think the perception from the likes of Bob and to a lesser extent the quids and Brendans has contributed to that. I still think it has yet to find it's feet though and there is hope for it yet. The lounge for a while was a temple dedicated to surreality before become the catch all discussion/games room it became, If it's really as stillborn as it currently appears it may be too late for the drawing room. *wipes face with damp sleeve* awfully dusty in here.

The uk press has little to be proud of (private eye and dome other niche publications apart) but the indiprndent generally edges it as best of a bad crop.

I have to say as an opinion piece writer Johann Hari is an irritating little twerp, however this interview with the controversial Mr Adams actually makes for very interesting reading. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/profiles/gerry-adams-unrepentant-irishman-1783739.html

If i waxed my arse would I have a neater 'arris? Ought I get my coat while I was at it?

Bugger, wedding in Scotland. Blimey haven't been to one for an aeon.

I don't see why that's a 'politically correct' notion. Absurd to suggest it is. I'd say proposing her as coach is an absurd proposition also within the parameters that the sport functions. Firstly she hasn't proven herself in the more pressurised world of mens football let alone at the top of the game. I would also say that, deeply mysoginistic as the game is, that regardless of her ability she would not be able to eran the respect of the players. None of which actually denies that given the chance she might actually be excelent, and god knows if she actually won something shed immediately be in the pantheon, though like politics I'm sure shed be the exception rather than harkening a deeper social change. Not really a fan of the guardian either, but anyone has to be better than James 'misery guts' Lawton, who though rarely wrong about anything still makes you want to argue against his points regardless and elicits a desire to slap him repeatedly whilst screaming CHEER THE FUCK UP YOU SOD!!!!

Yay, I believe in *Bob*!!!

Huzzah, always a good forum drinks venue. Will do my damnest on this one!

Oh and it's Hudson NZ no underscore

I've got ed as a friend already. He put his name there earlier.

Sure he (or she) is just sunning themself on some unspoilt beach somewhere miles from t'interweb

The French not go to war? Wow that's like saying the pope doesn't wipe his arse in the woods. And like Brendan says, long been reknowned for their prowess for a very very long time. But you hide behind one ill thought out strategic defence line......

They don't make them like they used to http://www.museum.tv/archives/etv/F/htmlF/fordanna/fordannaIMAGE/fordanna.jpg

It really needs to he part of a debate about replay evidence. As long as FIFA prevaricate stupid bolas will be dis/allowed and 'gamesmanship' will be rife. We need these decisions to be made quickly and for punishment to be severe, eduardo should have been sent off for instance (as in the past should have many many others). Until there is this fundamental shift we'll be on this board until tibuctoolapolooza complaining about this.

Good ole thinking mans crumpet. The top one, rosie someone or other? Awwwwwww she's just wuvverwy.

Or do both. I've regularly watched DH crash out the cup, but always an entertaining day. Go, do eeeeet. I cant sadly as off on holiday v v early, else would join you.

I love you quids, you may be the most dependable person I've ever met. Can I make you my new father figure as mines shit? Annaj, I'm working on that, possibly the longest acronym ever....

Posh paws!the dinosaur obviously anna as you're not posh honest or a dinosaur obviously. Or purple, well you know your footwear......this is sounding a bit weird on my part isn't it. Coat?

Blimey. Not sure what to say really aura, but there's a whole lot of warmth of humanity emenating from your posts. Hats off, so glad you tied the knot and I hope to have a smile and a nod as we pass in the street without knowing why, just feeling better for it.

What's going on the last few days? Are the old ones unfurling deep down in the cthonic nether regions of our collective unconcious, are there slake moths flying in the night air disturbing our sleep, making us dream evil dreams? Is there a frazzled texture to the ether, the dying gasps of an unsatifactory summer, or has everyone just got an irritable hangover? What's with everyone, I don't think I've ever seen the place so narky, churlish or downright 'orrible. Cheer up people, it might never happen. As my missus would say with one of her trademark infectious grins, happy thoughts people, come on, positive energy!!

Is this some weird t'interweb meme? Rumours of his death crop up with unerring regularity. Some perhaps spurred by the joke about the singer who did two little boys dying recently ... Baddamtish

What the hell do the police need grenade launchers for?!?!?

That's hardly the spirit there G. The French aren't really surrender monkeys (see verdun) and we hav greater varieties and eat more cheese. This isn't about FACTS goddammit!!

Don't worry Anna, I'm already bruised from kicking myself. I'm blaming my hangover, luckily only 3 hours til fopp then pub!!

Hes fine. And a dab hand, no pun intended. http://www.rolfharris.com/Data/Galleries%20FileStore/autumn-sunlight-westminster.jpg
