...mind you, I end up buying the same stuff for half the price in Mothercare or Toys'R'Us on the Old Kent Road.

Of course I miss Clapham like billio, the people here just aren't of the same calibre or social standing.

Cheap mortgages surely aided rent reduction as there's now an oversupply of rental properties and, post crash, landlords desperate to get them filled as they can't sell them at a hideous loss. Admittedly this applies more to cities who thought they could tempt more people than they actually managed, than to London. (see Cardiff, Manchester, Newcastle, Liverpool, Glasgow etc etc)

*cheeks glows red* *so do evil eyes*

"Some of them get banned repeatedly" Or ban themselves then give in to their urges. I don't know which is worse ;)

I believe n is usually proceeded by an a apostrophe thus 'n Unless you mean the sound, in which case it is usually followed by a little splash, then the sound of tearing paper.

I suppose if the mexican food is eaten then it is, in some figurative fashion or other, dead.

Down that road an IP ban lies.

Isn't Festival Fair somewhat tautologous? Like a Party Shindig?

Which, lets face it, few of those tories in the major gov't had. They were a really rum bunch, though I must say I preferred their old fashioned sleaze to the labour sleaze that followed.

I actually quite liked Major (despite not being a Tory). Spitting Image had a ridiculously powerful ability to govern how we viewed the political characters of the day (and I think we could do with something like that today more than ever), but he was unfairly maligned as first a thatcher controlled robot then a grey pea obsessed meek fool. At then end of the day he was the last decent (in the more important moral sense of the word) politician we had in that role.

I got made redundant due to the cuts recently. I don't hate Cameron, I just dusted myself off and got on with it. You revel in someone's death when they tortured or dissappeared your loved ones, not because they did you out of a job. Some of the hyperbole on here is little short of pathetic.

Actually, could be a good thing to resurrect.

I don't think death should be automatically accorded respect. Most of the OBL concerns were about an enlightened democracy committing extrajudicial execution surely, not against those celebrating his death, for who can blame them. My father popped a cork of champagne literally over the funeral cortege of Franco on it's way to the Valley of The Fallen. Likewise I've been happy to raise a small glass of sherry or at least a smile at the deaths of Pol Pot, General Pinochet, Milosevic and a few others. Get real people, this is Thatcher, I was no fan, but she's hardly in that league. Fair enough if your son was on the Belgrano, the rest of you should be ashamed frankly.

It wasn't for changes sake, it was to reinvigorate a political fabric that the majority of the people no longer feel part of. It was an opportunity to make this country more democratic, hence why those with no interest in real democracy were behind the no vote.

PR will never happen, end of. In our lifetimes there will be no more talk of electoral reform. Game over.

Jeremy Bowen would be cool, Norman Mailer (did he die?), Bertrand Russel (ok dead people allowed), Jonathan Swift, Keeley Hawes, Derek Griffiths, King Juan Carlos, my mum, Charlie Parker, Christopher Biggins. Ooh, I've the core of a good party, who else is coming?

I do hope that's irony considering the calibre of the campaigns, not to mention the derision of miss-afn-carmelite.

Two daisies a chain does make, just not a very useful one ;-P

"I'll be routing for them on Saturday" Is Leatherhead quite hard to find then?

Are you even old enough to be a tory party spin intern or is this a sad indictment of the quality produced by today's university education?

Royal parasites? Why surely we have concerns closer to home. There's whoever's charging ?4.10 a pint for starters. Then the irritating smear campaign tosspots at Tory Party HQ, not to mention those anal probers in their saucers abducting our (and Surrey's)!! finest. First up against the wall.......then put into a gibbet obviosuly.

In terms of choices, chain vs independent, by definition, is pretty binary.

Excellent, another visit from the minkies at tory party central done until another election, another smear campaign. It's unseemly to gloat, see you in a couple of years.

Seriously people, a trip to central London takes 10 minutes. Some perspective here please. In 3 years time it'll be a half hour drive to the nearest Aldi for me :( Cake and bloody eat it some people; not that that analogy really works here. Maybe: Moon on a stick some people.
