I liked the previous incarnation of Green & Blue and used it as a deli/wine shop - always lots of new and interesting stuff on the tables near the till and in the display case and nearby shelves and all with lots of info on the products themselves - after the make-over that all disappeared and it was like going into a restaurant - anything they had to sell was hidden in the dark at the back - that put me off going in as often as I used to.

Midnight Express for that late 70s disco-synth Giorgio Moroder thing.

To be fair most supermarkets have shown that they have trouble keeping track of the production methods used in their foods including the accidental use of GM cereal crops and Frankenstein vegetable strains that get imported through two or three countries to avoid detection and/or get included in ready meals (including those with vegetarian labels). Personally I avoid mass-produced pork as it has rather a 'pissy' taste and go for rare-breed slow-grown pork but I believe I am more at risk from the dodgy production methods used in a lot of (for example) soya farming and the processing of same into 'pseudo-meat' products to satisfy vegetarians who like to pretend to eat meat (as in Linda McCartneys fucking pies for example) than from poor husbandry.

Boerboels are a very difficult breed to train - but not impossible. You should contact Mark Davies - he's a bit of a dog-training genius and has a couple of Boerboels himself - here's his website with a picture of his Boerboel and some details http://www.packleader.org.uk/

Otta - "It's not even so much guns, it's the type of guns." Huge - "Mass murder is a lot more difficult with a bolt action rifle or revolver. " But unfortunately not impossible as we found out after Dunblane. That's the problem. One category of guns was outlawed after Hungerford but it took the massacre of 16 children by a man armed with four handguns to outlaw them too.

After not having any women on the shortlist last year it'll probably be Jessica won't it?

Surely this kind of thing is just the usual artist PR exercise - to get their 'pictures' in the paper sorta thing (as well as giving the usual "my kid coulda done that" brigade the opportunity to be outraged - it's what the DM does). To wrench this in another direction and take the title too literally - does anyone else think the crappy linear lighting arrangement on the Trafalgar Sq. Christmas tree (making it look like a pin-striped dildo) spoils the shape and idea of a 'tree' to the point of making the annual gesture pointless (as in it might just as well be a cardboard model of the Gherkin)?

In fact, of the 22 children stabbed in Henan, none has died and just two were seriously injured. Whilst there have been fatalities in similar attacks in China it should be blindingly obvious that had this frenzied attack been carried out with a firearm(s) so many would not have survived.

Carrots?!? Oh, the dark damp recesses of this sorry burb...

I've seen them too - staring wonderingly at my sensible gentleman's bike... I think they are bi-curious.

Vladimir Ilyich Ulianov, better known to the world as Lenin, leader of the Russian revolution, writer, statesman and father of modern communism. Che Guevara the Bolivian guerilla leader and Mao Tse Tung, chairman of the Chinese communist party since 1949. And the first question is for you Karl Marx... the Hammers. The Hammers is the nickname of what English football team?"

Or - post them back to the manufacturers with a note saying "These were supposed to last a lifetime you lying bastards".

In binary code it is Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!

Their best chance of a trophy up in smoke - how long before Cazorla dives in front of Vermaelen to demand a transfer?

No real need but then again there was no real need to have a pair of Gola footy boots aged 15 either - but turn up in a pair of Winfield Specials and you might just remember it as one of the worst and most humiliating days of your life. If you've already tried the sheep/goat analogy then I'm afraid you're stuck. She's a teenager, reason and need don't come into it.

Travelled on this today from Denmark Hill to Clapham Jctn - weirdly enjoyable in the open-plan train - like travelling in one huge hallway, very few seats (and those small, hard, sparsely covered and all facing in like an XL tube carriage) but room for 2 or 3 abreast standing if when it comes to that.

The fans want us to predict this way and we're confident, in ourselves, of success playing the long game, going for the coupon buster like a Gooner after a transfer - no matter what the odds, ignoring the home advantage, eschewing any recent form and picking any and all results on a 'why not?' basis going forward. *Me and my newly arrived 'Tevez-substitute' (who is actually still owned by an Israeli racing-prediction-syndicate but we are talking) whose knowledge of the PL may be non-existent but who loves predicting a 3-4 turnover.

It is the site that is being sold and is advertised as 'for development' so be prepared for lots of developers competing to see who can cram the most flatlets into the permitted volume.

My Yuletide luncheon will consist of animals and vegetables and minerals. It IS ok. Ok and fucking delicious. ETA: My first thought was that this thread was market research on behalf of the young fellow offering 'Man Services'...
