Good to see that someone is using air B&B as it was designed. It quickly got over run by by the let, and even rent to rent. We've been fine using it. You hear the scare stories but you always get them. Depends on (a) safeguards that are in place (b) how risk averse you are.

Welcome to my world but this does smack a little of vigilantism (OK you are not damaging them as they did near Manchester airport). Perhaps put a polite note on this, or alternatively a passive aggressive one (think the former is better).

Nope, end of an era and for me it's reason d'etre

Immersed and wrapped around, is that legal? Are you offering? Thanks for the suggestions to go beyond HD ready.

I fell out with Roxy in the 7 stars which at the same time was expanding and losing some of its charm. At one time I felt a proper regular Sure it is still good.

Obviously a deviant. Does he or she look like this (Uncle Quentin) https://www.drg.tv/Brand/10106/comic-strip-five-go-mad-on-mescalin Is this thread for real? If you are a real person what are your views on small flat screen TVs vs flat screen>

or XXs!

Does it really matter on a 24 inch? Just about to buy an LED smart telly as my flat screen is giving up after ten years. Funnily enough it will be cheaper than our first family colour telly in 1975. Views flat vs curved?

I feel dirty, I opened the link. I am now tainted. Not that it wasn't heroic. I could have done without the side bars of scantily dressed young ladies/women/females/XYs

A good ten years ago three of my faves were shortlisted for the Time Out best pub award. The Seven Stars close to the Royal Court of Justice, the Royal Oak at Borough and the Greenwich Union. The first is very much changed and I've long since fallen out of love with the Meantime Brewery. Royal Oak is still ace. Things don't stand still.

Blythe Hill Tavern won SE London Pub of the year, again. The Ivy has also won in the past. http://sel.camra.org.uk/ Despite some issues with 'craft ale' I occasionally drink in the Canopy at HH. Refurbed aint my cup of tea. The Alleyn's Head, another M&B place like the Dog, seems to do it better.

Dig in tonnes of sharp sand or just replace 1/2 metre with decent top soil. And you will need drainage put in. Massive job!

It?s an inconvenient truth folks. Human activity is responsible for most air pollution. Our right to drive what we like, when we like, how we like and where we like, and no politicians being serious enough to challenge this, is much of the problem. We can witter on but need a fundamental change in society. But great to do our bit. Happy to debate around a pint sometime. Diesel vs petrol is just a side show. Less (miles) is more.

And a hatrick. Name the ground (any one over 50 will name the ground, competition and year in seconds https://www.google.com/search?q=lev+yashin+russia&safe=strict&client=firefox-b&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj11vycuJfbAhVGWsAKHQvKDpYQ_AUICygC&biw=1344&bih=728#imgrc=plTj56z5kJ141M:

Confused - surely this is the Soviet kit, or something similar. https://www.toffs.com/soviet-union-cccp-12th-man-t-shirt-red-white-ringer?gclid=Cj0KCQjw3InYBRCLARIsAG6bfMQBp3NeruUBl3mdWuWcEgqB6eOp_6q9dchMomDFKHPZNE8vtgZrL-4aAhBuEALw_wcB

More annoyed that Five Live started their FA Cup coverage so early booting out Danny Baker. Now if it was a three o'clock kick off that would have been fine. I expect I'll now find out he was shifted to 5 extra. I'd get rid of the monarchy, and happily become a secular republic. But not really bothered about last weekend and with my minimal attention (about two snippets on the radio and seeing headlines in the Metro) I understand that it was a nice event. If I was bothered it would be the A list celebs, in the same way they appear at all major national events. Yes posh and becks I am talking about you.

Spoil sport. I was hoping for some surreal debate. I was telling a colleague about Terry Scott and dressing as a school boy (all quite odd nowadays) and found a reference to this series. I understand the tapes were all burned. It also had the great Hugh Lloyd . He was acting well into his 80s and now that Sykes and Maynard have passed on that is probably the last of this generation of comedians. Anyway - let's have some surreal comments about gnomes and Dulwich.

Off to Carcassoonne shortly so interested in recommendations already made and ones to come.

May I commend this thread as this is the first reference that I have seen to Hurricane Smith for over forty years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norman_Smith_(record_producer). His link to Tony Butler (ex BRMB) just makes things even better. It's been a good day today.

Where's gender stereotypes gone. It was supposed to be an innocent thread. Was it hijacked by nefarious types? I left another forum because of control freakery - not that I am accusing you administrator.

Worked with her on the Olympics and shared the odd conversation. Good to hear all of the positive tributes from all sides.

Mate is in France looking at a time share complex, out of curiosity. A black British couple come in. The British manager of the time share says to my mate "don't worry about them, we'll put them off". My (white) mate is married to a black British women. This stuff still happens, generally not in the metropolis. Keep challenging it. I also need to practice a response along the lines of my wife/husband is black, or my sister in law is Asian when I hear casual racist remarks. Happens pretty infrequently, and I tend to not say anything but just be a bit gobsmacked.

Thinking of ED's preoccupation with low life, here's one for you
