This has 'quality programming' written all over it.

KP1 you have your 'Caps Lock' on.

... that said of course, maybe they'll make it?

It's kind of silly for them to again miss their own opening date. I know it's a major refurbishment and you never know what you're going to uncover - making it difficult to estimate how long building works will take - but surely the old adage of 'under promise, over deliver' applies here. After missing the original 'christmas opening', they really should be a bit more conservative with the announcements.

... if they are planning on opening in 2 and a half weeks time, they'll need to start selling tickets pretty soon.

They sent this out a while ago: "...You may have noticed that progress on the building work has been slower than expected. But we have all been working as hard as we can, and we are now pleased to announce that we will be opening our doors on ? drumroll please ? Friday 20 March. We promise it will be worth the wait!" Haven't seen them promoting this opening date online anywhere though, so perhaps they're not too confident about it. Looks to me like there is still a lot to do in less than 3 weeks.

Surely some gang activity?

Started in Lambeth, pays tax in the UK. Best of the big chains IMO. That said - there are a lot of independents round here that serve far superior brews with more 'soul'.

I'm actually in favour of 20, but I'd like to see a commitment to actually enforcing it - or better, removing the small number of really dangerous individuals who massively flout the current limit, or generally drive with little or no regard for others safety. The problem is that all we get is speed bumps, signs and paint.

This is really a moot point. There will be no enforcement and it will have no impact whatsoever on the dick that comes down my road in his van at around 50.

I always new these as 'beer flies', but the same thing.

I took park in Gin-uary. It's a bit like dry January, except it involves drinking plenty of dry gin, rather than nothing. Haven't lost any weight.

On the subject of bubbly, I recommend Ridgeview (based just outside Brighton): http://www.ridgeview.co.uk/ They do a blanc de blancs (Grosvenor?) which is good value.

True - but if it's a special occasion I would much rather a decent white Burgundy than an average bottle of Champagne.

Typical North Londoners. You wouldn't get that kind of thing on the right side of the river.

Talking Burgundy- pretty much any bottle of Meursault will do me for a special occasion.

Placing pasta into water and waiting for 3 minutes is tough. How about 'Pasta Pigro'?

An unintelligible post about POLICE OP BIG WING DAY!!! is silly and fails to convey what the police have actually been doing. That was my point. It would be better to say - "we've been doing some really good work recently in the community - speaking to the parents of badly behaved kids and helping to significantly cut down on levels of anti social behaviour."

Yeah, of course, so why the silly name.

What is the price per square foot for sheds?

Its a shed!

Operation Big Wing Day, does sound a bit silly though. Sounds like it's just, 'talking to the parents of some badly behaved kids' - or 'doing the job of a community policeman'

It's a shed!
