Fun while it lasted. Soo England's upcoming fixtures. Build on recent good work and signs of promise or choke like a kiwi?

Sh!t a brick, he's huge!! But at least he's not furry or looks like he could do you in an arm-wrestle. Cardboard technique should do you fine.

Genius!!!! The Queen Anne is hilarious. In fact they all are!!

Does anyone know the legal status of discriminating against someone with a record?

Just makes finding all those lovely links we post easier to find. But hey, it's the lounge, do as you wish.

I'm slightly disturbed by "a pint glass wasn't big enough". I'm sure we shouldn't have spiders that big in this country. Did you accidentally carry it here from Italy in your luggage? Can we have a photo please? :-)

classic!!

*ahem* if you're going to keep chatting in the music room ... http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?20,6294,46311,page=9#msg-46311

I'd like to echo the aboves, but if I'm going to be honest to myself I'd probably be harsher about jib cut assessment if I knew. I guess it also depends on the nature of the job/crime. If I were to be recruiting for a network security position and the guy had been done for hacking, fraud or industrial espionage I might be a bit reluctant. Likewise if I was interviewing an arsonist for my dry-tinder sales position etc etc. Just human nature innit.

any excuse to remind ourselves of this classic and red5standingby tracked down some more, second one has to be my fave

talking of anonymity, someone's registered/posted today as 'anon'. I can't believe that hadn't gone already!!

"Sean and Mockney are a bit like that." Oy!!! Cheeky. I'd never deign to sign an autograph!! It is nice bumping into people from the forum drinks though, definitely had a couple of impromptu sessions thanks to those.

Hee hee, great story Maurice, and very indicative of how bizarrely solipsistic this world has become. Here are some facts and figures which put it all in perspective. There are a LOT of blogs out there. I'm guessing that once we get away from your huge blogs a la the boing boings/diggs/xkcds then you're looking about 8,000 hits a day for your big ones in this country, such as that idiot Guido Fawkes, maybe a few hundred for the likes of CD Times or Daily Dose of Imagery, down to a few dozen for your special-ist/technical blogs*. The rest of them are read occasionally by mates, mums and/or nobody. So basically they're not doing any harm and if a few enjoy them then good stuff. Occasionally you get a little success story like our very own Dulwichmum, and all you can do is say well done really. I started one a while back for about 2 weeks, but it really was only links to stories, and 'I read the news today oh boy' probably serves the purpose much better. *The useful ones ;)

Good for him, he'll be happier oot west. Look forward to reading your bylines Jenny.

Halo 3. Well, it was on my telly.

Oh no, what happened to Tom? I liked him, nice chap, despite his penchant for unnecessarily ott emotive language in his strap lines. :-P Anyhoo, welcome to the area and best of luck in the new job!! (and any chance of toning the scaremongering down a bit ;-))

It's a bit of an epic as music videos, especially as it's 10 minutes for a 3 minute song. But hell, it's worth it. The Decemberists - O Valencia

Fair point. Here's what the website says http://www.hoopersbar.co.uk/events.html

Hooper's is really but a stonesthrow, especially if you take that little shortcut footbridge over the railway line (or is that train line?). Jamie's more partial to rugby than he is footie.

Do you suppose the covenant home worlds are actually full of council estates and people complaining about their hard earned tax klibbots being spent on a pointless war against those helpless humans? "Not in my name" protested the purple fella actually called CWALD.

How dare you, I'll have you know I've just this minute saved the entire galxy!! And now will do so at Heroic level.

I rather thought the whole point of advertising was to affect your life; of course I'm far beyond that, I'd never let cheap gimmicks and hot ladies influence me while I sprinkle a flake over my bowl of special k for dinner.

So far spin, hypocrisy and an inexplicable leaning toward the neocons; no change there then.

I think we're all agreed that this world is overpopulated and not enough resources to sustain our lifestyles, so I think in complete contrast to IVF, we should actually start introducing a cull. I suggest we begin with people with veruccas, and move on to X-Factor fans forthwith. Sun readers can begin some time next year I reckon. Obvioulsy my fine Halo 3 skills will deem me far too important to society to be included.
