  3. Yes it is - sly and robbie aka those annoying little nerdy fuck-nuts with their stupid little van belting out cruddy, geeky, reggae-lite like schoolboys turning up their music to annoy their parents. This is a forum full of love and reason. But I hate the little shits.

  6. Did you request your info from the CPS &/or police using the Freedom of Information Act? You might also try Coroners Records for that date & time using the same act. http://www.cfoi.org.uk/pdf/foi_guide.pdf

    Top Gear

    A few years back (actually quite a few now I think about it) they stumbled on a popular format, of which blokiness was an essential ingredient. They have been replicating it ever since and upping the blokiness, to the detrement of anything else, thus providing the best demonstration of the law of diminishing returns (quality-wise as they say in Iowa) on tv. I am waiting for the episode in which Clarkson's japery extends to putting a rotting corpse in May's car while Hammond drives a car made of skin. ETA: I shall still probably pounce on the new series like a vegetarian on a bacon sandwich. That's Simon Cowell for you.
  10. A thin day on the EDF; the SGD stagnating and Singapore's nonoil exports falling a seasonally adjusted 9.1% from July meaning that all that hard-earned interwobble moolah has to be reinvested in off-shore wind farms - well it's enough to cause a fleck volley to emanate from the calmest of breasts.

  12. Agree with Otta - has to be one from my childhood - Brian May's solo on Brighton Rock. I know he's done it to death since (and that he appears to have become a knob), that he relies on echo-tricks too much and that it's all a bit prog-rock at times (well it was 1974) but I saw them live back then and the first incarnation of this solo live was memorable. That and any of the mini-solos by Wilko Johnson either Dr Feelgood (Back In The Night) or after.

Not to mention Iceland/Co-op for one extreme wing of ED to sneer at and Old Villa/Give+Take ("We are only accepting Designer labels at the moment") for the other; a couple of cracking charity shops and a couple of late night/24hr one-stop convenience stores (Londis etc) for when you're caught out. 'Bopping' home, however, implies a level of sheer glee that is, quite rightly, frowned upon.

  16. ???? Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I think the best bar or restaurant that East > Dulwich has to offer is B+ at best. I still like > it here but there's no great place I could name Probably right but it made me think. Wherever I've lived in London the local bars and restaurants have had that fact as their main attraction. That I could stagger home from a bar or curry house without coughing up for a cab or squeezing on to a night bus was as important as the standard of beer served, the juke box, the amount of chicken in the balti or meat on the spare-ribs. I don't think I've ever lived anywhere in London where the pubs/restaurants were so poor that I had to travel very far for satisfaction (and I'm including Canning Town!); and company always played a big part in making an average place a regular haunt. So I guess if ED wants to enter into some south-London-trendy-suburban-nightlife version of Englands smartest village competition it may indeed need to 'up' its game. Or not.

  18. Safe. As long as you are not carrying scissors.
  19. Mama catches GC banging Sharon in the 'surplus-stock room' and her reverse-Oedipal complex compels her to blackmail him into writing a confession which she will keep about her person to force his compliance for the forseeable future. The unnecessairly tall Stretch, whilst working in an adjoining cubicle in this alarmingly 80s style open-plan office, peers over the top of the cubicle partition and witnesses the confesion in mid-composition. Following GC he sees the hand-over to Mama and secretly records events. Stretch reports the whole sorry affair to Cecil and shoows him the incriminating photos and video. He threatens to report the whole thing to the press and to Cecil's latest and most valuable clients (an action which would detroy the firm's reputation, customer base and cripple their share value) unless he is given a big pay-off and can finally leave the job he hs grown to despise. Cecil agrees and also has no option but to fire GC and Mama. With his company now on the brink of disaster and new clients growing increasingly dismayed, Cecil calls on a safe pair of hands to guide the company through troubled waters. The only man who can save the day... Sharon files her nails but keeps her job (she knows where the bodies are buried), she retrieves the employee record photograph of Alan and smiles at it dreamily *Enter Alan..."
  20. Cram it into a suitcase and leave it on Melbourne Grove

  22. I like the Draft House so maybe it's aimed at people like me. The ordinary beer/lager is tasty and cheap (Wandle ?3.50 DH Lager ?3.85). I like the Camden Town brews at ?4.75/pt (especially the wheat beer and the inky stout). I don't think Chimay Grande Reserve is much cheaper anywhere you go foxy and I've no problem with the offering high priced stuff - I don't have to order it. Their burgers (and onion rings) are very good and I like the music I have heard when I've been in. As for bars in Brixton, I'm sure they're fine and when I lived in Brixton I drank there. Now I live here.
  23. Seriously - no one wants gbh of the ear'ole thanks to your anodyne crud - park up your stupid little van and fuck off!

Have some perspective, please. 'Cool' is a lot older (1930s-40s) to be fair daddy-o. (c/f groovy, hip, cat, bimbo etc...) y'get me?
