That's the bit i'm looking forward to most :D

Well said Nero. nobody wants to turn it knick-knack hell 2, I think people would just like a bit of a spruce. Nothing wrong with a bit of pride in appearance regardless of supposed class differences. (and for one who's picked up quickly on the forum buzzwords, you should have seen that theirs a goodly cross section represented on the forum). Plus the last two times I've alighted at that station there's been a fracas/punch up just outside the station entrance, so a touch of decorum wouldn't go amiss either. For the record I actually quite like the lane, especially scotch bonnets heaven.

Ahem, perhaps a little too much inactivity this weekend. I did chase up venue booking man, though haven't had confirmation back thus far this week. He did seem pretty convinced we'd manage to get one of the 2 grounds at bel-air. I think it's 30 odd quid rental which isn't much by way of subs. Do we have alternatives on the off chance we don't get hold of it?

At your age Keef? You should be fresh as a daisy!!! ;-P

Fair enough, although the charm of them is that you can leave them lying around all day and just glance over every now and then and occasionally you get a clunking penny drop moment, which is incredibly satisfying. You'd be surprised just how much pleasure it can give when the mists part for one moment and you go "doh! how did i not get that?"

It's monday morning, feeling a little melancholy. I just felt like listening to this. No tune on earth can transport me back to my childhood like this one, travelling great distances across a dry and dusty spain in a cramped Fiat 127, long before Spain had things like motorways. *sighs* Los Indios Tabajaras - Maria Elena apologies for the naff slideshow, but it is youtube innit.

Senior officer = cinc [c-in-c commander-in-chief] half turn = tu [turn] danger = red surrounded = cinctured easy once you know the answer, have to confess I didn't get it yesterday.

I'm an indy boy for the most part. Telegraph is the most accessible of the cryptics though.

I will say I am partial to a spot of gentleman's relish. (I can't believe I've just written that)

Yep got the ur reference, I just couldn't spot the literal. i guess they wrapped the literal and clue words in one: go - round old city = go round.

Try not too, I'm getting spandexed on cheap lager to celebrate Keef's coming of age tonight (18 today!!!), and won't be much cop at spotting it through double vision. Perhaps some rum based drinks too.....

Just for the weekend. It's my superpower that is in line with the phases of the moon ... or something.

up to your old tricks again jenny? Naughty girl.

I think the rough is the unhealthy appearance and rambling is going off, so happier with that. o in go round would be toour, and what's the literal, historic city? This will help clarify Another puppy rejected things linked to end of game (10)

reckon you might have that android. that gives us a g at the end of the previous clue, which isn't much of a surprise unfortunately. Go round old historic city (4) _ _ U _ oour? perhaps not. It feels like tour, but can't make to = old

I don't, it's actually been floating around my desk for a couple of weeks, I should give it a go. Here's a contributory clue Reduced healthy appearance? Risk going off travelling (5-8) _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ I _ _

I wouldn't mind a thwack, though as it's keef's b'day today some of us might be feeling a tad tender tomorrow. Ooh Happy Birthday Keef!!:)-D

I can't help but feel that libertarianism boils down two things. 1. I'm alright jack, keep your hands off my stack. 2. It's somebody else's problem, somebody else will sort it out. The hilarious thing is that in the US the champions of it have managed to con those in most need, to vote for them, perversely by sowing seeds of mistrust in government in general and attaching themselves to 'moral' issues. Then they take cash of all those who work hardest and the most vulnerable and feed it to their buddies in big business and the defence industry. It would be utterly absurd if it wasn't true; and one reason why I hope it never catches on here.

Absolutely. I saw ive-met-jimmy last night to keep up the pressure for getting hold of the ground for the 18th. Does anyone know where the nearest nets are for us to practice in?

This is a neat idea that seems to be doing the meme rounds at the moment. apparently "If Google had a black screen, taking in account the huge number of page views, according to calculations, 750 mega watts/hour per year would be saved." In response Google created a black version of its search engine, called Blackle, with the exact same functions as the white version, but obviously with lower energy consumption:" This may be just an excuse to get people on to this chaps google portal, but the idea sounds very plausible. http://www.blackle.com/ So what do you reckon admin. Would it be feasible to have optional style sheets in preferences or something? If you're a tree hugger you could have a white on black version of the forum or something?
