Glad to (cough) oblige, DJKQ... B)

Reminds me of an old joke... A man was invited to dinner with the French ambassador. Making small talk he asked the ambassador's wife, "What do you think the most important thing is in life". To his obvious surprise she answered, "A penis". "Are you sure?", he asked. "Definitely", she said confidently, "A penis". At this point the ambassador leant over the table and said, "My dear, it eez pronounced 'appiness"...

From Digital Spy: That has to be the finest comeback by a PR flunkie ever...

I think the fact that they have yet to risk scheduling One Direction (or, as the Gruniad calls them, Wand Erection) in the first three of the night indicates that the producers are shielding them for as long as possible. Saturday was a dreary rendition of what was probably Elton's worst song. And it seemed to be 'Get Danni' night - all her acts were shoved to the top of the schedule.

If you do go the way as planned, the transfer from W to E Croydon is fairly painless - take the tram.

Why do they do it? For publicity. What to the people yelling 'THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!" doing. Give them publicity. Why do you do it? Why are you suckered in every time?

I think the next few years will be both good and bad for the LibDems. Good in that they will become a credible party for government, especially if the economy recovers, but bad in that they are going to take bit of a hit in vote numbers. But even now when they are under sustained attack in the media, their support is not far below where it has been in any mid-term for the past couple of decades. Plus there will always be room for a third party that occupies the (admittedly currently paper-thin) ground between Labour and the Tories. As for Clegg, I think he is the right person for now, but the LibDems might just want to consider ditching him in time for the next election. The Tories would romp it in. Neither of the other two parties has enough money to fight an election effectively.

My first bike was fixed wheel, so I got in the habit of stop pedalling = braking. I borrowed a friend's bike, which was the old pedal-quarter-turn-backwards to brake variety. I was cycling down a hill towards our house, stopped pedalling and... nothing happened. Well, except me cycling rapidly into our fence, that is.

Hey, I'm just an out-of-the-box type thinker.

A lot of experts say that the best accompaniment for Indian curries (as opposed to Thai) is beer.

I can assure you that, as a regular lounge poster/poser, I am 100% unhinged. I am in the unhinged bracket.

Okey-dokey. Give me a few minutes and I'll think a few more up.

Only if the person is tried and convicted. If you accuse them publicly without them being found guilty by a court, you run the real risk of being sued. Of course, you could put their picture up just say 'These people are banned from this shop'. But saying that it is because they are shoplifters would leave you open to legal action.

How to make money: 1) Loiter around suspiciously in a shop 2) Wait until they stick up a photo from the CCTV branding you a shoplifter 3) Sue them for libel

Headcam, so you can relive the terrified look of the pedestrians as you bear down on them at speed as they cross the zebra crossing...

You're are a car driver. According to some cyclists, that makes you are always in the wrong.
