  1. We used Wates in Dulwich village. They actually worked pretty hard for us when the vendor was being particularly difficult. We used them previously for lettings (they sort of acted as an intermediary as they don't normally do lettings) and again were fine. Considering the horror stories I've had over the years renting all over london, it was a nice change.
  2. One of my neighbours when I lived in East Finchley had a self-propelled howitzer outside, which always made for a slightly surreal walk to the high st. Couldn't tell you what it was though. I think it was wheeled if that helps. And OMG, you can find anything on t'internet - T 34 users manual
  3. Well I never. There I was thinking he was descended from a line of pen eaters, but it actually turns out he's Pe?ate, a half breed Spaniard from south east London descended from rock like people. As our names translate to 'gracious rock' and 'stone sheep-path' respectively, I have to say I'm warming to the lad!!
  4. perhaps an opportunity for some entrepreneurship CWALD? No reason why not.
  5. Picking his toys up off of the floor ;-)
  6. Aston Villa 2 West Ham 1 (this was one of the best games for us last season and a very rare win....hence) Manure 1 Wigan 0 Arsenal 2 Sunderland 1 Blackburn 2 Birmingham 1 Bolton 0 Chelsea 1 Fulham 1 Portsmouth 1 Liverpool 2 Spurs 1 Man City 1 Boro 1 Newcastle 1 Everton 2 Reading 1 Derby 0
  7. Great stuff ben, I love our Scout and I love our Will. Perfect!!!!!!
  8. *ahem* MP, this is a geeks area, now either get like keef, and add pacman to your facebook, or leave to the world where people don't wear t-shirts like this...
  9. It's a biggie (11.7 mb) so don't click it unless you really want to. Tunng - Bullets WMV Tunng - Bullets MOV Tunng - Bullets RAM
  10. baddam-tish!! *and ripple of light applause*
  11. Wasn't there apost a few weeks back about some kids who'd been on a rampage. They got caught and it all stopped? Or was that in a london freebie? Can't remember now. Go for it Brendan, but don't hurt them or you'll end up in the nick, just scare the bejeezus out of them.
  12. ...talking of which, has anyone been burning the midnight oil on Halo3? Thoughts people. Had a top co-op experience the other night, followed by watching it all together on theatre mode. Yet to really get my teeth into proper multiplayer though. Disturbingly, of the 3 million people playing halo3 at the time, only 200 were in the multiplayer training area. Might find it difficult to get my licence.
  13. I didn't see much point as I won't get to see any more of their games, what with being at a wedding tomorrow.
  14. When Huguenot and I were exploring this place in Umbria (would love to buy it and do it up by the way, check th view ) we found some sort of funnel web spider, well it was a spider in a web shaped like a funnel (the web, not the spider) It moved pretty quickly and was thankfully pretty shy, but it was about 2 inches long and had a green back that shone like burnished bronze. Anyone any clues, I'd love to know? (I've a photo somewhere of the web, can upload it later) Ooh, I was also harrassed by the biggest hornet I've ever seen, it sounded like a helicopter and was the size of a small bird!! Fecund place umbria.
  15. I love the fact that if anyone dares to judge anyone by their clothes or car the they are the 'cock', but judging 1100+ as 'sad and lonely' is ok is it? I'd post some response about why that isn't the case, but it doesn't look like you're being particularly reasonable stumpy. As for jon being bullied, if you bothered to read it through you'll see how inclusive people were being and how quickly he got into the spirit of things. That spirit, in case you blinked and missed, involves having a sense of humour. Take ten minutes out, breathe deeply, have a fag or a cup of coffee and return should you so wish; try smiling this time though.
  16. I do like a good irregular, I'm terrible with plurals too. Can't abide cheeses, it should be chigh or something.
  17. Wow, that had something of the James Joyce about it!
  18. > Am I right in thinking that that is a Panzer Ferdinand from WW2 You are indeed, I hotlunk it to its wikipedia page, so just click on the pic. I guess it makes sense that in times of total war a country turns to its existing industrialists for expertise and production capacity. Swords into ploughshares and back again. As someone pointed out it was no different here really. I think it was that Porsche's son who went on to make nice sports cars a decade later.
  19. That's more like it, admen, politicians, fat cats and stockbrokers!! http://chicago.about.com/b/a/225273.htm and the utterly trustworthy daily mail last year http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=420401&in_page_id=1770 wellll, you're still ahead of the politicians. If esate agents start saying things like "we're in Iraq because Saddam was a bad man, it's got nothing to do with exploiting all that newly evacuated property in Baghdad" then they'll have sunk to the politicians' level. Should this go to the lounge now do you think?
  20. It's a bit out of date: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3405295.stm Can't believe reality tv contestants aren't at the top!!! Having said that HP you sound nice, you don't come across as having a hoxton fin. How fat is your tie?
  21. Echoed on both counts!!
  22. Which porsche? How about this one? Dangerous streets these days, much safer than a boxster.
  23. I don't think it's been flak,just a couple of requests for elaboration on what happened. Now if Kai had pulled up in his porsche to evict said tenent then the ack-ack may well have opened up.
  24. hmm lets see, a bunch of 20 something hoxton finned, fat tied estate agents, fuelled on free champagne and drunk on their own egos, receive 'snotty' call from neighbour asking them to move their 1100 irritating minis? I can pretty much guarantee it was them, I'm sure they all guffawed like etonians after a game of cheesy biscuit afterwards.
