Did anyone from Forest Hill or West Dulwich turn up btw?

At least it isn't a teapot!!

what that means full stop is beyond me. Are you sure it wasn't Eric Cantona? ;-)

Careful, according to today's stars, if like me you're gemini: "Now that Pluto has arrived back in Capricorn take another look at your curtains to see if alterations need to be made." and Aquarius: "Mars confirms that the parcel you were expecting last week is being kept for you at Thornwood Post Office, but only until Tuesday."

Not a lot to say. Gutted from Ilford, but well done. Hard fought in midfield, but I've been saying for quite some time I can't see where goals are coming from, and that was the main problem again last night. Cole's signed a five year contract, I really hope that doesn't mean 5 years of long-ball. I hope Zola has a long term plan that's better than that. We miss Ashton badly.

If it doesn't sound like Perry Como, then basically, what's the point?

Like most labels it's meaningless in itself. It's basically Prog (oops, another label) with louder guitars and bigger sounds. God Speed You Black Emperor, Explosions in the Sky, Sigur Ros, 65 Days of Static etc are probably the most famous post rockers. Or according to wikipedia on one of it's uncensored pages "It is the use of 'rock instrumentation' for non-rock purposes. Practitioners of the genre's style typically produce instrumental music." Which sounds like nonsense to me.

Some good old Swedish post rock for a crisp winter's day. Jeniferever - Kapfarvel

That's a gun? Looks more like sonething Gillian McKeith would use to apply a teapot. Here's another storm in a teacup or the end of civilisation as we know it, depending on your point of view. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/technology/2008/12/wikipedia_is_censored.html#commentsanchor

I've noticed the photos are up, are they not being advertised any more?

I was laughing at benjaminty's self mocking, I was merely mystified as to why his search would bring up pregnancy yoga.

I get hot and upset about the use of the word Diss. Horrible word and a very dull town in Norfolk to boot. And with all respect due to Rosie H and her pal, I can't help feeling someone gets what they deserve if they make important life decisions based on the way tea leaves settle in their teacup. Seriously, don't they know tea doesn't work and that they should cast stones over freshly killed goat entrails?!?! Schoolboy error!

nothing like laughing at others' misfortune is there. http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ga-ULeG09QY

"he's very mice" ?!?!?!

Abingdon was very nice, Keef was Town Crier briefly there. picture postcard pretty and historical too (lots of civil war stuff took place there) It also has officially the second worst nightclub in Britain.

Yeah you cynics, there are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. Of course that was said by a murdering psychopath who spoke to himself a lot (first sign of madness), saw ghosts and befriended skulls, but you know...

I don't think people were having a pop ther pined. The OP was a tad ALARMIST in nature, it could happen TO YOU. Subsequent postings have shown that Tom is well informed and quite rational about it all however, and the queryists seem happy enough with that.

He doesn't literally stand on a cloud you fool, it's actually a floor with lots of dry ice to give the moment of judgement that needed theatrical gravitas. Of course some bespectacled, angelic bureaucrat has already totalled up the gold and black marks and worked out your destiny. He sits at a desk on a cloud of course.....with a harp....

They all love their mums you know.

Bizzarely, today's xkcd:

pregnancy yoga?!?!?!?!?! ps lol

cold tea Keef, cold tea...mmmmmmm

In the current climate shouldn't we be encouraging spending on home grown industry? Tea reading ticks all the boxes, local, rather than outsourced skills, stimulating spending on PG and Typhoo, and the growth in staffordshire teapot production? Get's my vote, plus if the world was round, why aren't there hills in the middle of lakes?!

I'm going with Hoipolloi for the shoe in the recycling bin. I genuinely spat tea over my monitor when I read that, to many a bemused look from my colleagues, which all gave rise to a most entertaining thread (D_C the tea came out of my nose to your festival inferno post). Hope she's coping with the Type 2 fear today.
