The Silent League - of stars and other somebodies. Lovely stuff, sort of mercury revish circa deserters songs meets flaming lipsish circa soft bulletin, add an orchestra, a little bit of burt bacharach and a ukelele with mojave 3 like vocals and you're getting there.

Ip dip dog s**t you are not it. That or bunny rabbit. We played british bulldog, but can't for the life of me remember the rules. Something called stuck in the mud whereby if you got tagged you had to stand legs akimbo, and un tagged people could dive through your legs and unstick you. Ting-tang-tommy as sort of cross between tag and hide and seek.

Depends what you mean by always FnB. If you mean always as in the last million years, then you're quite right. If you mean always as in the last 200 million years then absolutely not. have a look at the animation and see how it wanders south http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pangea Unless of course you are a conservative christian (see our new transport secretary) then of course continental drift is merely a divine joke put there to give scientists something to do, and (two) kangaroos got to australia after the flood on floating mats of vegetation that they could nibble on during the journey.

She's been given a 'new' job to get the olympics done. Because a 7 billion overspend was doing a pretty good job of it wasn't it!! At least John Reid's gone, nowt for Hazel Blears and Ruth Kelly in transport hopefully can't do too much damage there. Nice to see most of the ultra blairites gone. Milliband as foreign secretary is an interesting one, but seeing as Blair effectively made that a spokesman's role, will be interesting to see how that develops. Is Brown effectively handing control back to the foreign office but keeping the blair camp stink around it so he can distance himself from all those foreign policy disasters? That or that was the deal that was struck for Milliband not to stand for leader and split the party in two. *aaagh, just spotted Blears has the community post, whatever that means *

A man was driving down the road and ran out of petrol. Just at that moment, a bee flew in his window. The bee said, "What seems to be the problem?" "I'm out of petrol." The bee told the man to wait right there and flew away. Minutes later, the man watched as an entire swarm of bees flew to his car and into his petrol tank. After a few minutes, the bees flew out. "Try it now," said one bee. The man turned the ignition key and the car started right up. "Wow!" the man exclaimed. "What did you put in my petrol tank?" The bee answered , "BP"

Brendan, always remember NTV !!

My friends always seemed to be camping in the new forest. Couldn't help with actual sites. I've camped a couple of times in the woods of the chilterns near Barton-le-Clay. Not sure it was strictly speaking legal, but noone ever complained. Beautiful part of the world.

Isn't that Kabbadi?

Isn't south of Helsinki in the middle of the Gulf of Finland? I suppose at a pinch it could be on that weird island with the u-boat

In that case a few pints in the EDT having met them at the station and escorted them to GGR, assuring them the whole time that it's a safe pocket of south london. Then some food in one of the many eateries, how about Tandoori Knights? (I've always wanted it to be called that). Thence to the CPT for some proper back street boozing, a good south london atmosphere, and a host of aussies to make your friend feel at home?

So when we had a supercontinent with no polar land masses at all, I take it the seas were alot higher? Mind you the alps were at the bottom of the sea back then so i guess any sort of comparison's a bit daft. But as the ruler of byzantium points out, gaia (or whatever) has witnessed alot of changes of the millionennia, our pesky fag breath will be but a temporary blight.

Obviously being from the dreaded north of the river, they're gastro loving, cocktail guzzlers, non? How about a pre meal drink in inside 72, a slap-up meal in Franklins or the Palmerston, followed by cocktails in either Liquorish or the Black Cherry (sorry TBC)

It's the Mrsing that dictates what I can do with mine now.

FIrst friday of every month at a rolling venue to spread the love, and the pennies.

I had a joint b'day shindig with a couple of others in the Florence at Herne Hill. Big Garden, food available, no need to book or anything and a pretty pleasant place. If the rain holds off you could do alot worse. EDT allow you to nab the upstairs bit at no cost if you want a bit of privacy.

* steps in and throws weight around * easy kids, this a love only place. Real people, real drinks. If CWALD wants dom perignon 87 with some cassis, and if keef wants a turbo shandy, I'll be more than happy to oblige! (well, apart from the dom perignon bit....or the turbo shandy bit)

We've had a couple of chats on this in the past. Have a look for them as we have links to a guardian article that investigated and found primark, tesco and a host of others not to be nearly as fair trade as they claimed to be. In some cases they'd been misinformed by third party contractors, but still. There was no mention of white stuff that I recall, but that doesn't mean they're whiter than white; desn't mean they aren't either.

Fair enough. I like any music whether it be Classical, country, ambient, hardcore, metal, jazz, folk, rock or laid back singer-songwriters. It's the quality, thought and execution that count, not the genre. Keren Ann is talented and not normally this accessible, this is her first of a number of albums written in English for starters. I wouldn't be playing it down the disco though.

Yeah, nice coffee table, relax music, and the album has a couple of song s with a bit of spirit about it. You too btw.

Oh my god!!!! Top floor is Huguenot's old flat from 3 years back!

I understand Lionel is going to be made Middle East Peace Envoy. What a marvellous idea, this could be just the left field event that can cut the Gordian Knot. Lionel Blair - Before we discuss the possibilty of a genuine two-state solution.... * motions with arms * Ehud Olmert - A film, three words * does sleeping motion followed by sweeping motion * Ismail Haniya - Bedknobs and Broomsticks? * points to nose and Hamas leader who high fives Mahmoud Abbas * Ismail Haniya - In your face Ehud, we get Ramallah. ----------------------------- Hmm, on second thoughts...

Even I can get soppy and wistful now and then. It's not all wrok wrok wrok (I think i just anagrammed a terrible advert from years ago there - it's a bit like filling a photocopier, but the paaaaapers more expensive..tee hee. *idiot*) aaaanyway, French educated, Indonesian Dutch Israeli... Keren Ann - Lay Your Head Down

I think it's no meat on a friday for some reason. Humility or something, lord knows (baddam tish). I think you're average peasant rarely had a problem min the past sticking to that rule, or on a monday, or a tuesday, or a wedne........

I'm waiting for the Soviet to be set up myself, actually this one isn't really class warfare, more of a heated spat. Perhaps a big deep breath everyone, count to ten. Le Moulin......

MadWorld. You are aware that our beloved local football team are called the Pink and Blues? You may want to rethink your position (sorry admin, just felt it was worth pointing out)
