The paper does not say so explicitly, but there are several references to the building being unfit for purpose and expensive to maintain, so it's not an unreasonable inference. first mate Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Seriously, the whole thing is going to be ripped > down?

I think the point is that some rich people may not deserve the stick they get. Which I agree with. No idea about the rest of the debate though.

Agree with the posts above. Frankly, some of the dog brigade come across as completely bonkers.

Spot on RD.

I thought it was dangerous play at the time, but haven't thought about it (unless reminded, which is frequently) since the tour ended. Anyway, back on topic. Lions to win series 2-1.

Thanks for the responses guys.

No, we don't think about it at all, it was eight years ago.

Reading between the lines and then some eh?

Penguin68, what post are you responding to?

Here here Jeremy!

Oh God, not the BOD incident again. I can say, as a Kiwi, that if Gatland thinks like most Kiwis he'll think he owes BOD zilch. That said, if he's fit and on form(ish), I'd pick him as captain.

"i admit, tags aren't pretty, but do come from a very interesting movement" I admit, anyone who scribbles their initials or whatever on someone's wall or fence, ad nauseam, is a complete and utter tool.

The new neon orange sign for the clip joint on North Cross Road.

Baby Jogger Select looks quite good to me. Are you able to set it up so the baby basket faces you, while the toddler seat faces forwards? Also, anyone been brave enough to try the Bugaboo Donkey? Thanks!

Not sure how a manufacturer can take into account the number of times an item of clothing may be worn into pricing, other than by making it slightly sh*t. If you want quality, you need to pay for it.

Agree with EP and in turn most of H's post. This debate is really helping to put a lot of issues in context for me.

My fave is Juz Lookin in Croydon - 75% off clearance sale for as long as I can remember. Not sure what a 'Crunching Out Sale' is.

Wasn't politically conscious or in the UK when Thatcher did her thing, but some of the bile being spewed out on here and elsewhere surprises me. LadyD and others, you are happy that she is dead? What has changed in your life to make you so happy?

Just wondered how it's done so I could do it actually. Sitting comfortably.

EP, how do you edit posts without it being noted automatically?

If street sweeping is only monthly, I'd suggest that most people are already picking up rubbish in and around their property otherwise we'd be knee-deep in it. I haven't noticed any coincidence between collections and increased rubbish. Agree that more litter bins would be useful, but we've loads of dog sh*t bins and it doesn't stop the selfish few ignoring them. I do think though that a clean environment is important so would support fortnightly sweepings. I wonder what the incremental cost of this would be when set against the jobs created/benefit costs saved. Likely 10 times more than I think.

You're joking, right?

Why wouldn't he be able to do it? Are you saying it's impossible, or that he doesn't have the skills or willpower or whatever to do it. Presumably there are a number of people on benefits who manage it.

"the parents who can't control their children or teach them how to behave in public!" Yep, that's us. Let us know the secret so we can finish our meals and pints at our leisure next time.

Sounds like a good policy. Otta, on the few occasions we've taken our son to the pub, it's been to have a meal and a decent pint at lunch. Pubs tend to be noisier than other eating establishments so if our son did go berserker we'd cause less of a disruption before we bailed in embarrassment. We've no grandparents or relatives around so it's that or a pub-free existence.
