Untamedstylist - I"m sure there's a group that advertises on here for meet ups, called london socialising or something? No idea what age group they are though. Or perhaps if you like sports there are groups around to cater for that? Can be a good way in to meet new people in your area? Or film? Or whatever it is you like doing in your free time. I think sometimes that its quite difficult to meet people when you move to a new area and your colleagues and friends are on other sides of the river etc. Sometimes its strange to think that living in one of the most major cities, with busy people all around us, it can be hard to make new friends and it can be a lonely place at times. Good luck and hope you find some like-minded people that are roughly your age group! :)

You mean you didn't jump on the 12 during the Barry Barry Road Race?? Respect...

chick the Arrow is good, hope it doesn't get spoiled by adverts and DJs although guess this is inevitable? oh, specially for HonaloochieB, I heard a song on this station by none other than Mott the Hoople! (tu)

That's a very good question Annette :))

I heard the buyer can now play Greensleeves with one hand...or was it Beethoven's 5th :D

Priceless. I see what you mean (tu) In that case, may I revive the piano for sale thread from the same great vintage, 2007. (Btw, I've decided against buying a piano but I'm fine and dandy for kitchen tiles.)

MockneyP - you're lucky you weren't told to 'think for yourself' and that there 'is no wit in quotation' :P

Unless there was a DC Comics convention in East Dulwich today, I found it rather odd to spot these characters within a few minutes of each other (but not together): Batman x 2 Superman x 1 Bizarro or what? :-S

FPTP and coconut.

Btw, this thread has been very interesting (minus the insults). It has made me realise how long ago it was since I last learned anything about voting systems, we did the pros and cons of FPTP and PR many years ago at school. Tonight, I listened to a programme on AV on R4 (for and against) - it was all about funding, transparency and apathy. Seems like the Electoral Reform Society changed their minds on AV, shock horror. Apparently a few years ago they said it was a 'minor step' towards PR (which was their previous aim). Sadly, apathy will probably rule the day. (The Apathy* Party looks forward to receiving your vote on 5 May. To register your vote - DO Nothing.) * incorporating the UK Can't Be Ar5ed Party and the Why Bother Alliance

Ted, I can assure you I have never been a deckchair attendant in Eastbourne. Now stop delaying and lets see the uniform pics please. We're here to help with your career transition. PS Nette, you're a very naughty girl :))

My good friend (male) often reminisces about the youthful, summery days he spent as a deckchair attendant in Eastbourne during the 1980s. Said it was the most sex he's ever had (on the job, so to speak). He used to let the topless bathers go free, after some lingering discussions with them on deckchair hot spots and related costs. He likes to think it was the way he held his ticket machine at a jaunty angle that attracted them.

:))

If anyone wants to fuck about with November 11th, I will come round to their house and in true Blackadder- fashion, will poke their eyes out with a very sharp pencil. So there. Happy Easter everyone, who's for a slice of simnel cake?

And there was me thinking this was going to be about 'Black Books'... Anyway, go for it Ted and good luck. I reckon there's huge demand for it* around these parts. * the manny

It's a fab poem indeed! (tu) Harmless prank brum??!! I think not. Do you know how many people's hopes you've raised as they thought the strange wurring sound was coming from the construction of a sparkling, shiny, new Waitrose on LL (6)

That wurring noise is sooooo strange!

Jeremy, you're right costs are huge but now it is very much smaller companies that are operating in the NS - for every amount of oil they produce, they have to find that again. Its easier for smaller companies who will produce less to do that and less economical for bigger players (although they still exist too). Not all are small start-ups although onshore drilling is full of 'one man and his dog' type outfits, sometimes known as 'desperation drilling'. Edit: meant to say, I'm no expert either!

I agree with you Jeremy, just think that there's far less opportunity for smaller companies and new investments (and resulting jobs) . Shell and BP will be fine.
