So people keep telling me. Something about the covers of pilates books I find unsettling though. Or maybe it's because it looks like 'pirates' that they scare me ::o

Half of ManUski is ex west ham, so it's thoroughly depressing for us. In fact I remember the spurs fans chanting "west ham is our feeder club, doo dah doo dah" not so long ago too.

good line-up. I have mostly quick fix puzzlers as I really only use it for the odd flight. I reconverted to reading books on my commutes a couple of years ago, so my DS doesn't get that much action.

Ooh, had a scary experience in an ashram outside montreal (my friends wife was training there, we had to take part when we came to visit). I loved yoga when I was a young'un so was looking forward to my unsupple limbs having another crack at it. But the philosophies of the 'guru's were profoundly disturbing. I know you don't have to go for it heart and soul, and it can just be exercise, but it put me off for life. Still I roomed up with Anthony Seldon, Blair's biographer, which was very interesting...poor man bwah hah hah hah!!

Definitely up for that come feb. Am boycotting pubs for aforementioned reasons this month. HAve you got zelda? It's a bit Zelda lite, but a jolly charming game it is too.

I've heard scary tales of chiropractors, not sure I fancy it. I think I'm going to have to face up to the fact that it can't be fixed, I just need to do the damn exercises :-(

I have Bomberman, maybe next forum drinks, err or the following one?

Lol!! Is this the sequel to Attack of the Killer Tomatoes?

I've definitely had conversation a) before. Regards b) I went in to my funky new doctor with bad back, and I had a similar conversation, but I actually thought she was just being frank with me, though as I said, she had a better manner, more... Me: I've chronic lumber pain that comes and goes Doc: Hmmm [prod] you suffer from a long back Me: Oh, err, that's not going away is it Doc: Nope Me: Soooo? Doc: [takes me through long list of exercises I need to do for the rest of my life to keep back strong and pain at bay] Me: Damn [goes to pub, doesn't do exercises, continues to suffer from occasional bouts of excruciating pain that I'm failing to prevent by not acting upon good advice]

cripes, thems hotpants!!

Again, it was considered funded back in 2004, but something changed...olympics perhaps? You're right according to the TfL site it's still unfunded. Basically there's been so much mis and disinformation over the years noone knows where it stands. I can as Mrs Mockney to put her ear to the ground for the gen if you like.

I wasn't having a go at you keef, just backing up the NHS people. I know you meant no harm and certainly would never behave like the aforementioned. In this case I think you were the visible drip of the water torture of throw-away implied criticism that got the brunt of some clearly frustrated people. My teacher friends tell me similar things (and I know your missus is one so you understand) and it gets to one in the end.

That's really earworming you?! weird. This is what earworms are all about. Pointless, irritating, cheesey and downright terrible. But try and get that refrain out of your head...go on, I dare ya.

A big hear hear to the NHS posters. I too am very proud of the whinging liberalism or even social-ism behind free for all at point of contact, and it's a shame that mutual respect in this country has fallen so low that we don't even respect our health providers (though I'm sure the horribly drunk have been thus since time immemorial). It was all that 'I want your name and number mate, do you know who I am' type stuff that finally caused my uncle, a respected Consultant and AIDS special-ist to take early retirement, totally, as mentioned earlier, demoralised. Sad as he loved what he did. I have had issues with a couple of GPs in the past attempting to prescribe/prescribing me tonsilitis antibiotics when I had no tonsils and rubella antibiotics when I had a much much more serious ailment, from GPs for whom patients were an unsightly part of the job they'd clearly rather not have to deal with. But that's all walks of life I guess, good'uns and bad'uns. My current one is a super star, good manner, good advice, no-nonsense. Thanks Doc. Oh and Annaj I also happen to think you're a long way from that description, but really that's neither here nor there, that sort of behaviour surely should be absolutely unacceptable. I hate the phrase zero-tolerance, but for once...

When the missus worked for TfL about 3 years ago it was this route originally planned to go operational first as most of the track is pre-exisiting, but every time I look at the TfL site they seem to change their minds, so I genuinely haven't the foggiest where it all stands these days, hence my earlier pessimism.

What's the next venue?

Not here it ain't. I think it was colder (if brighter) yesterday.

Illegal Tender - Louis XIV

Use a can of Super Tennent's in Soho Sq as bait, then wait, cosh at the ready.

Not bad, and just right for a steely day like today, but I'm a sucker for strings anyhoo. Nada Surf - See These Bones

Is that my hat?!

Denmark Hill.

How is this news exactly? This has been public knowledge for ages. SLP showing its class again. Still nice to know they're still aiming for 2010, I was beginning to have my doubts.

Eh? Is that an advert for a calendar? It's not funny enough to be comedy. Taking up the thread title though, I really can't get interested in the primaries, I just sigh and flick over to some adverts when it comes on the news...and why does it have to go on for so long, it's the 21st not the 18th century for goodness sake!

Who could you possibly be referring to MP?
