@quids - couldn't agree more, my Niece came up from Bristol to visit last weekend with her boyfriend - on a quick walk along the Lane she was surprised/delighted at the amount of independent shops/businesses there were (all this unprompted) and bemoaned the fact that it wasn't like that back home. Re Le Chardon - had a disastrously bland and watery fish soup there recently but it was followed by an excellent coq-au-vin (70s maybe, but delicious) so something bad, something wonderful - typically French. ET change names (it's all French to me)

Whether Wagamama moves in or not, GBK is really crappy - I mean reeeally crappy. If it fails maybe they (Wagga) could move in there, then if it's crap there'll be no real change to the area.

I was concentrating on backs doc to explain the origins of qb, and threw in the forwards as a comparison group; but while we're on the subject I think flankers are expected to do a lot more of the pretty stuff now,(partic' the open-side) - it aint all Mickey Skinner these days. ... oh, and NFL have flankers too - more commonly known as wide receivers...B)

You have half backs and full backs in rugby (not to be confused with the three quarters although they are also backs), as well as forwards... full backs and centre backs in soccer, as well as forwards... and halfbacks (who can be running backs or defensive backs) quarter backs and full backs in NFL... as well as the forward offensive line... -though there is a forward line in Aussie rules - and they have centre backs, full backs and half backs, (there are also back-pocket and forward-pocket players too but perhaps that's going too far?) Now, Hu's on first....

My opinion is that anyone who believes the 'guns don't kill people' lie is an idiot and as Carter put that argument forward then he is an idiot. Carter's opinion is that "MAXXI is a @#$%&" so don't talk to me about personal attacks on witless sociopaths who think they are Charles Bronson.

I actually like NFL football. Got into it back in the 80s when Ch4 showed a lot of it and even showed 'tutorial' sessions to explain the finer details. Loved watching Joe Montana and Jerry Rice at the SF49ers (even had a 49ers baseball cap back then). The stop-start nature can be annoying at first but 'downs' are a little like overs in cricket - there are gaps in between and you just have to get used to the rhythmn. Problem with the BBC is they show a few games but then not the Super Bowl (a bit like MOTD having all the fa cup ties but not the final) so you get used to pundits/presenters and then switch when it comes to the big game. Go 49ers!

(sounds like a Peter Thingy song).

Wow, a genuine 'guns don't kill people' idiot right in out own back yard. So you wake up having heard an intruder... and the intruder waits while you unlock your "wall, and floor drill mounted, hardended safe." and maybe sits awhile whilst you extract your ammo from the "seperate internal safe" and load your gun... Or maybe you keep the gun loaded and by your side where you can get at it easily and quickly - and accidentally blow your kid's/partner's head off. smart.

A little too much whining and not enough JR/Sue Ellen so far - although the latter is showing promising signs of a Lady Macbeth/Agrippina combo.

Aaaagh! Count me out! Shame on you northlondoner!

You're being a bit nit-picky Mick; I'm sure that a chair leg, armoire door (handle proud), or the retaining bracket of a (stolen) Corby trouser press would serve. I would favour the front leg of a velvet chaise longue (turned beech with a stained finish) for maximum thuddage combined with a compactness that allows for optimum swing.

Series 1 & 2 are also available at Dulwich library (?3/series per week).

I would be more than happy with Owen at Upton Park on a PAYP basis. WH have a history of getting players near the end of their careers, sometimes it works out and we see some good/entertaining stuff for a while (Bobby Gould, Liam Brady, Teddy Sheringham...) Sometimes not so much (Jimmy Greaves, Ian Wright, Davor ?uker...), whatever - if it doesn't break the bank it's worth a punt.

Couldn't be more delighted! Now Jarvis has someone to aim at... http://lfcmania.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Andy%2BCarroll%2Bin%2Ba%2BWest%2BHam%2Bshirt-150x150.jpg - the Peters/Hurst combo for the 21st century! COYI!

There are so many reasons why it shouldn't - but sitting at home after a night out, and watching the Cure at Reading had me smiling like an idiot.

Make sure you have olives and/or pasta and vino and salami/bresaola etc. to hand - impossible to watch without.

But uncool is the new cool Jeremy - until so many of the uncool join the 'circle' so as to make them the majority (or one of the significant minorities) whereupon they then become uncool again. Like a stopped clock, if one never changes one will probably be cool at least twice in ones life - one just may not know it at the time.
