9100 ETA >:D<

More of a Toni Basil than a Cheryl Cole. FC - no need to sing, a career in Hollyoaks beckons. Mischa B - I can hear her future now... "Ohhhhhhh, Bodyfo-orm! Bodyform for you-u-u!" This looks like a Brookstein kind of a year.

Just been cleaned out by Dracula and his buddies - I offered the posse a jar with sweets in and some wrapped choc-biscuits little hands darted in and out with the expertise of Rio pick-pockets and left 'promising' to share everything equally. Happy Halloween!

No-drink-vember starts tomorrow (oh, 73 btw) and I think I may take a stab at it. Anyone else? Anyone for temporary exile? An edf sabbatical without the comfort of a hot toddy? We could have a contest - like a tontine but whoever cracks before November 30th loses (loses/wins... nothing but pride in the knowledge one has mastered (a couple of-) one's appetites. Did I say 73? ETA: well you might consider it KT616 if only to give Mick Mack's short-term-memory-loss syndrome time to kick in...

I thought the new routemasters were due to come into service in 2012 ... perhaps there will be an interim period of normal double deckers until then. http://lamodeverte.files.wordpress.com/2010/11/routemaster.jpg?w=450&h=407

After this weekend the idea of No-drink-vember is starting to appeal... I think it might usefully be twinned with a self-imposed temporary forum exile - none of this disappearing and popping up again like Huge and Quids though, the suspense is too much - just a calmly stated intent to forego posting for a fixed period... to see which part of you cracks first.

Will your period of abstinence run alongside a self-imposed forum exile for the same time frame (on the basis that the forum is at its best/bearable and funniest/less irritating with a stiff livener on the inside)? Or will the forum become your substitute for a post-rush hour whisky and splash?

The 31st to the 25th seems a bit arbitrary - what will you do for 'something warming in a flask' come Bonfire Night? Take soup?

Rumour has it Nette has already put in a bid and has been to the pet shop in Northcross Road in search of white mice, a rat and a couple of lizards...

You only really need the pan to be super-hot for the initial browning/sealing, After 30 seconds (so the steak doesn't stick) you can flip it and do 30 secs on the other side then turn down the heat - this will minimise the smoke.

Ironic/deluded it's a fine line.

A salon. Yes. That's what it is.

Surely... http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSwCzQE06lnoDOnzKCYke7m3s2O7ZF4FJF0jOAjylcdArVt5Mep or http://rubenerd.com/uploads/photo.pete_dud.jpg ...but with more swearing. ETA: new photo as first was not clear...

I think he was being ironic. No one could suggest that Stoke need to toughen up. As for Arsenal - I'd rather see them play pretty football than watch them return to the thuggery of Viera and Bergkamp.

MPC?

Really? Downton Abbey, X Factor and now this?

He probably decided that - having tried to sell "TV Tables" at ?11.99 all day and heard more "Twelve quid for a bit of plywood!? You're havin' a laugh!" than "Oh look darling, just what we need." - he'd leave it there in the hope that it would arouse comment or interest. Or he's just lazy/stupid.
