The time is long past for explanations keef, things have got waaaaaaaay out of hand since then. Where are your car keys (porsche key ring obviously) and string-back driving gloves eh keef?

'get a shave' LOL!! You know me too well.

The phrase 'get a hotel' is mysteriously forming in my head...

I noticed that to get my air france e-ticket mailed as a paper one to my house involved a ?40 surcharge!!!!! Incidentally this just reminded me of this company CD Baby who put a little note in each delivery talking about how each parcel is individually perfumed and wrapped by faeries who fly the CD from the staorage to the envelope on silver threaded cushions etc etc. A nice touch and fantastically weird music.

Poindexter, if you will come out with tosh like: "I always like the Bishop, Good, interesting menu and very reasonable indeed." Then, really, what do you expect with such flaming like that unnecessarily capitalised g, tsk tsk?!

"double victimisation relief" Sounds like some sort of advertising jargon. Is this leading up to a product placement AD? "Suffering from both snobbery AND inverted snobbery? Then get double action Dale Reiki Relief. You don't even have to leave the comfort of your own room just give me a postcode and I'll heal you from the Silver Buckle"

Good point while munging there Brendan. People tend to be a little less in yer face after turning up to the drinks as that anonymity goes, plus we've discovered what a thoroughly decent bunch we all are. You should pop along to the next one Jon. George Canning next friday.

It is possible to leave a place marker in the main room when lounging. Whether one is left or not is down to discretion really, generally not is the usually case for, as stated, reasons of clutter. err.. from what I've witnessed; wouldn't want to put words in the admin's mouth.

Gosh, after all that new talent I feel the need for an old stalwart Richard Hawley - Just Like the Rain

Guerilla Pimp Well Made?!?!

Just going through my Camden Crawl (showcase of tomorrow's talent) to see if it had something better to offer than Jack Penate. These were quite fun, sort of a monkees mett the inspirals via camberwick green Bricolage - Bayonets and their myspace http://www.myspace.com/bricolagetheband Quite liking these too Blood Red Shoes - It's Getting Boring by the Sea http://www.myspace.com/bloodredshoes Aaah and this ones nice in a singer-song writery type way Emmy the Great - The Easter Parade and myspace http://www.myspace.com/emmythegreat Passable The Whip - Trash and obligatory http://www.myspace.com/thewhipmanchester

I can't bring myself to vote for the heir to Blair. I'm once again* stuck with a pointless vote for the cardigan brigade. Perhaps I should just accept my destiny and become a geography teacher. Does anywhere sell those leather patches for my elbows? Used to live in N Herts, v v tory, went to uni in Stoke, v v labour.

I've never really forgiven him for the 'trashing the ref's telly' incident. Get yourself sent off and kick up some antics, all to publicise your new show after your imminent retirement. Idiot.

Oh my god, seems I actually own some. It's on my Camden Crawl 2007 CD. TBH it's harmless enough, he's not some manufactured nonsense, he didn't win a stupid talent show, just a lad who writes his own songs and managed to get noticed in a tough, sh!tty industry. Good on him I say. It's not terrible either, just a little, forgettable. Male Kate Nash sums it up nicely. Of course Kate Nash is lovely, you just want to take her home to meet your mum; can't say the same of Jack

We could change the name to c'mon argentina if you prefer

I've never seen Paul McKenna in these here parts though. Or has he just hypnotised me into believing that?! Nesbitt's alright fish, he's just a forum leitmotif really. Almost a mascot.

I'm a fan of: Londonist. Lots of contributors, stuff going on in london. Through these people I found out about things like the Chap Olympics and much much more Jon Swift. Funnily enough a satirist, he's a sharp wit but the best bit are the commenters who really don't get the joke. City of Lions. Can't go without mentioning our very own Huguenot, though he could do with updating it a bit more, hint hint. Flip Flop Flying. He's the man who makes those minipop picture thingies. He also likes pointless pie charts. Appeals to the geekish weirdo in me. Encyclopaedia of Decency. Taught me that I'm most likely a useful idiot of a champagne swilling moral relativist who supports fascism and is in denial that terrorists are bad. Marvellous. XKCD. The geekiest cartoon strip of all time. Dilbert snorks coke off Peppermint Patty's exposed chest compared to this. Daily WTF. More geekiness believe it or not, but if you've worked in an office or tried to get something done in business there's stuff that will appeal, just ignore the code samples. Daily Dose of Imagery. The chap who got me into photography.

In my experience she's very hard to spot, but best of luck ant, i'm sure mogmog is just fine.

I hope so!!

Funny you should say that Brendan. It's a motorbike substitute as GF and family threatened to kidnap me and lock me in a shed forever if I went through with buying a bike. This looked like a second best. It does 90mph apparently ... round corners. Jonsuissy, 44 grand for a robin?!! A can of worms indeed, and I have a feeling you'd probably find one of those on the back too!

Isn't Simon a Blades man?

Too much inside? What like mushrooms, cheese and ham? I think you've been getting your home electronics confused again. Yes, run like the wind (but make sure you don't make a toasted sandwich out of circuit boards for the journey)

"A much nicer and more enlightened reaction would be, hey that's nice, I might try and save up for that." Nicer maybe but I'm not sure why enlightened. Would you think that of one of those big yellow humvee things? No, I didn't think so. I have no intention of owning a car while I live in london, but I've fancied on of these for a bit and would fully acknowledge people saying I'm a bit of an idiot ;-)

Well then Jon you get a big sympathetic hand on the shoulder from me. If one's suffered a crime it really shouldn't matter whether that crime was the loss of a funky friendly VW camper van, or a porsche. I'm guessing we're seeing some schandenfreude manifesting here, so come on forumites, a little empathy here please. "I'll admin I'm slightly envious of them" schadenfreude and freudian slips!!
