Wake up. Feel glands. Phone work. Sound croaky. Elicit sympathy (probably false) of bosses pa. Go back to bed. Feel gland, sorry glands. Sleep off hangover (sorry, flu). Wake up about 12.30. Thinks, oh a breath of fresh air will be good, wrap up well. Walk round park, get bored. Walk down LL, buy paper. Notice The Palm is uncrowded and pop in, no smoking these days so good for the lungs and chance to top up on Vitamin C. Get bored with the OJ and rehydrate with cracking pint of Harveys. Feeling further rehydration could be beneficial, have another one. Feel a bit peckish. Feed a cold, starve a fever. It's not a fever, must be a cold. Order rib eye steak with chips and some greens (extra Vitamin C) and large glass of Merlot. Drink Merlot and when steak arrives order another glass. Other half wakes you up in bed about 6.30pm, concerned. Feel sick. Lie. Proper man flu.

I downloaded The Toys - Lovers concerto from Itunes last week. How sad is that? It's not even very good. Oh well, a fool and his money......

Country & Western. Yeee haw!!!

Is slapping Piers Morgan entertainment? Yeah, more of that on the Beeb.

Well thats the danger. How far do they go to drum up the viewing figures? How tacky do they get? Thats not what the BBC is there for because we all pay for it. It's fine for the commercial stations because the advertisers pay for it.

Another bl**dy publicity stunt. This is the problem with the BBC it all has to be 'entertainment' the only thing they are interested in are viewing figures. Not what they are actually broadcasting. Clarkson (sorry Jeremy) making sick jokes is about as bad as it gets. I want my money back.

I found the plot very difficult to follow and wouldn't mind seeing it again. I tought Casino Royale (with Daniel Craig, not David Niven) was the best Bond and I'm not sure this one was nearly as good.

In my experience garages sell for around ?30-?40K in and around Dulwich, Herne Hill, etc etc. Usually at the higher end of the scale to a neighbour and the lower to someone who just wants a garage. Valuing landlocked, rear parts of gardens, is much more difficult and usually depends on the value it will add to the recipient property and the value detracted from the sellers property. But it's usually rarely less than ?5K and rarely more than ?10K unless there is a significant improvement in value to the purchasing property.

This is quite helpful Time Out

It's tonight. Good luck.

At the moment I can't do the 10th or the 12th

I've got this Jonathan Ross mask, should scare the living sh*t out of everyone.

Is this latchkey children we are talking about?

Is there a date for the Babur trip yet?

Is there a date for the extracurricular trip to Babur yet? I know I've not been to a CC meet, but I am very keen to come one night. (opps wrong thread)

Sean, don't think I have, it's not a cul de sac, more a one way street which leads to only one conclusion! Why is the BBC not getting any good publicity from this? Because they are the ones who have driven into the cal de sac of phoney celebrity and mediocrity. Don't the BBC realise that when you give them an inch they'll take a mile. The BBC have given their opponents the stick by moving way from what they should be doing. (does that mix enough metaphors?). Leave commercial broadcasting to commercial broadcasters. I am a massive supporter of stations supported by the licence payer in the way the BBC is, but the route they have chosen, across all their media arms is basically a commercial one which is wrong and not what I want to pay for as a licence payer. I can't think of any PSB examples. Does any such broadcasting exist these days? Anyway thats the point (the granddaughter) all the celebs do well from this at our expense.

There were some bargains there today but overall people were paying a little less Is it me?

OK, it's generated no publicity at all for the BBC, Ross or Brand. It may not have been intentional (as I think I already said), they're milking it. Moral indignation opportunty for the politcos and the old guard and free publicity for everyone involved. No PSB on the BBC. Dirty word (phrase?) since Birt.

Dulwich Sports Club 1st November, just off Burbage Road. Bar with real ale last time I went.

Sean get real, this is self serving publicity of the worst sort, it's contrived and typical of the BBC and their celebrity centred culture. Seems to have backfired on some of the over promoted bosses, but Grant & Ross will go on to greater glory and even bigger bucks. What happened to PSB?

No, not set up intentionaly, but put on air when they must have known it would cause a stir (to say the least) Looks like it's backfired on the spoilt brats that are the BBC. Ross and Brand are hardly the Sex Pistols.

Exactly, publicity stunt.

There were some bargains there today but overall people were paying a little less than they might have paid last year in line with the way prices have moved downwards over the last few months. I thought the Milton Road (Herne Hill) house for ?360K looked good, pretty house in a nice road.

We are paying for them and have no say about what they do or say. It's a massive publicity stunt for the BBC and everyone involved. They're taking the piss. No one will suffer, they'll all do well out of this and we, the little people, will continue paying for it.
