Yes the beer's fine, but they're so terribly terribly formulaic, and it's a very tired formula (slug & Lettuce, pitcher & Piano etc). Plus I think they introduced those horrid silver platters to the pub world, so yes, just like the bish chrome pumps? tick silver platters? tick cute barmaids? tick (not that there's anything intrinsically wrong with that of course) ... --snip-- ... lacking atmosphere? tick can't hear yourself think? tick sound system tuned into radio 1? tick

They're pretty dire aren't they. All shiny surfaces with music loud enough that it bounces of every surface setting your teeth on edge and rendering you unable to hear any conversation. Plus overpriced with terrible clientele, but that may be more to do with the fact that the only time I ever venture into one is when out-of-towners organise meet-ups in the west-end in a bloody AB1. Compared to Letchworth I guess it is the height of salubrity. "Wow, look, they're playing Bloc Party and the pumps are chrome!!!!"

...tile ponces from camberwell post on it's forum? ;-P

Good spell of tuneage there chaps!!!! Smog - Rock Bottom Riser

It does, but also because they flourished in the churned and untilled fields after the war, symbolising both the loss of blood and renewal/hope for the future. The white poppy emphasises peace for the future. This poem had much to do with it too. In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. John Mcrae

A little chatting is fine F'nB Anyhow, here's MBD's illinoisists pal Sufjan Stevens playing Chicago (live)

Loving the Herbaliser tune!! Here's My Brightest Diamond - Dragonly. Not that I can find any of their bloody albums, or scout niblett's or anything I'm trying to find at the moment now that I'm foppless and virgin, or kebab or whatever they're called now, don't really do albums any more. Not unless I want to buy some Rhianna or McFly. Here's MBD remixed by Goldie looking Chain, why, who knows.

On a lighter note, thought you'd all enjoy this http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=521&Itemid=26

guinness* is good for you it's official *any beer really

Very annoyed he did that when it counted against us (I won't mention that it immediately followed a very unsporting moment, hang your heads....doh! Done it again) then couldn't be arsed to do anything remotely like it in the world cup when we needed someone to inspire the team.

I won't mention that FA cup you stole off us a couple of seasons back. ... Doh!!

*pokes head carefully round corner* *no bondage, no donkeys, no owls - hmmm seems safe* *raises eyebrow as to quite why keef should be taking his ball gown off, he looks so much better in black tie* *steps in, places large parcel on dining table whilst casting admiring glances at the dinner service laid out and the fabulous smells wafting in from the kitchen* *places card for the wonderful DM, scented with her favourite Paris Hilton Parfum* - I shall return when she is among us. Just off to green and blue for some specials.

Ha ha ha. I can't believe I just sullied 2 minutes of my life flicking through those comments. Assuming it's not the script of a new comedy show, it has to be the most depressing reading ZOMFG U Cnt be rel, tracy done it with pancake he fuked carla the to bit hor? Sorry, I had a comma in there, whoops. This nation is doomed.

I may be tempted by Kim's vietnamese chicken soup. I gather those Angry Whoppers aren't half bad.

I just bought Borat, and that sequence with the humour coach and the NAAAT jokes is so so painful to watch. that said I think there are plenty of septics who do grasp it.

1 is just about doable (a word?) 2 is iffy and 3 is totally unenforceable. Council inspector 1 - [rummages in 29 Acacia Ave bin] Mrs Wimp would never use this brand of toothpaste Council inspector 2 - You're right. Mr Ben up the road is always complaining about sensitive teeth, quick get an arrest warrant.

yossi *west ham* benayoun? he? I've been saying it for yonks.

Ooh footie.....there it goes....

Mind you how do you go about explaining minus to someone who isn't going to grasp theoretical concepts. After all -1 centigrade is arbitrary, it could be 127 thrupples, like an amp that goes up to 11. I mean you've got 2 apples, now I take 3 away...uurgh?...tricky stuff ;-P As another of the commenters says, no wonder they're all in debt!! :D

I dunno, pretty good first comment from.. "Yes, it can be confusing. I don't know if anyone else is aware that Camelot do not use the binary numeric system! Got a cheque from Camelot the other week for ?1000000 - thought it was only ?64 and so binned it! Why can't they be upfront about the system they use? Who knows how the hexadecimalists cope!" gladys rowbotham, Manchester

I'm just hoping to elevate myself from my current lot as a baggage handler ;)

Perhaps we could get the WI to embroider us some nice banners with hard hitting slogans "Detention orders for Foxtons" "Down with this sort of thing" "More tea vicar, but not at these prices" and the like

Yeah, I'll bring the tar and I'm sure we can get some feathers from William Rose
