I do miss seeing Concorde though - it used to fly over ED :)

If mobile phones are not harmful, how come I have bad earache on the side I have used the phone (which continues for days afterwards) whenever I use one for any length of time? And yes I try not to .... but had to at work recently, and couldn't have it on the loudspeaker which is what I would do at home. Mobiles have not been around long enough yet for any long-term effects to become apparent. The Guardian last Friday had another article saying "The head of a leading cancer research institute has reignited the controversy over the health risks of using mobile phones by sending a warning to staff that they shuld limit the use of the devices because of the risk of cancer." This was Dr Ronal Heberman, of the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute. It's far too early to become complacent just because there's no evidence yet. :-S

Any reason why this is a new thread? There's already a thread on Hoopers food!

We were there last night, had a great roast accompanied by good beer :) Apparently Hoopers are (is?) having a beer festival next month, hooray :)) :)-D

Yep - Saturday night, and they do indeed appear to be refurbishing! Sorry for suggesting you were putting up prices, Lloyds :-$

I was passing here (Maceys/Lloyds, not Sainsburys!) early this evening and saw they had emptied many of their shelves - does this mean they have taken everything away to reprice it(upwards)? :-S

Yeh or that stall down the hill from Hampstead tube, can't remember if it's waffles or pancakes,savoury and sweet, yumyum (but always seem to be very long queues)

:))

yeurgh :-S

?35k??? Where did that figure come from - have I missed something? :-S

Yuk, no eels please :))

What word? If you mean gippos, you surely can't think that that's OK ???? :-S

Sometimes I feel like a lone voice.

There's still plenty in North Cross Road :))

Dan Maitland used to put on a good evening here ("What's wrong with my boyfriend?") - wonder if they'll have music back.

Person in front of me in the queue in Somerfield complained to the manager. I just wanted to get out quick :)) Was told by the cashier that it was due to "cleaners cleaning the floor upstairs" but I'm sure inhaling fumes like this, toxic or not, can't be good for the lungs. And yeh - bloody flying ants - they're in Islington as well. Brought back hideous memories of walking home from school and a load of them got in my hair. Traumatised for life :))
