Unbelievable! So Uruguay make the World Cup semis and drop 11 places, Ghana make the quarter finals and drop 18 places and Mexico beat USA to win the CONCACAF cup and go up 19 places. Maybe England have been affiliated to CONCACAF and Jack Warner is to head up the FA?

That reminds me... Concorde "British Wine" - made Blue Nun, Black Tower and Bull's Blood seem sophisticated.

Tree Harvey Oswald?

Iceland on LL was selling four-packs of CherryB last Christmas. In a similar vein do you remember 'Pony'? Advertised as "The little drink with the big kick!" it was in fact British cream sherry in a little bottle. Also remember 'Party 4' for the more fiscally bereft. Another fondly remembered tipple was the 'malt liquor' (funny tasting lager to you and me) of the early 70s like Colt45 and Breaker - the alcoholic equivalent to Cresta. Only drunk - at the time - as it came in little cans so couldn't be watered down by the clubs that sold it - that and Pernod and black meant you got violently ill but were sure you weren't ripped off.

In a move to use more rural methods in dealing with urban problems - as part of the new Big Society - dead foxes are on display at selected stations to deter fare evaders. Dead stoats and squirrels at Northern Line tube stations and the occasional dead badger on the DLR have had limited success but dead crows on night buses have been a disappointment and some have in fact been stolen.

Here we go again... *unsticks self from ceiling* Again two cracking (pun intended) bolts of lightning and crashes of thunder around 14:05-06, is ED the static electricity centre of South London? May have to open vol.4 if this continues.

Isn't Burberry more expensive there though? *waves irony flag*

I will hate them double to make up for it.

Congratulations UDT - you managed to get the Guardian on to this thread too! Either you are a drone for a very subtle (not to say perverse) viral ad in favour of the Guardian or someone from the paper once borrowed a fiver and never returned it... either way you seem to have a big bug up your arse about it. Nothing bizarre about the B52s quids - already mentioned Fred Schneider and Ricky Wilson on this thread - and I remember a lot of Burning Spear (dub versions) and local reggae bands that never made it big but all seemed to play the impromptu r.a.r./anti nazi league promoted concerts in the various parks back then.

"Rubish - they were completley aware just carried it off with far more style." Well duh! I was being ironic. *note to self - stop being so fucking ironic*

If that buckle breaks someone could lose an eye. (copyright Sid James, 1974).

Or that when they wore Crombies with silk handkerchiefs they were being ex-military types? Or that the Pringle, Aquascutum, Burberry, Lyle and Scot etc. they wore as 'casuals' in the 80s or the Berghaus, Ralph Lauren and Barbour of today makes them a little sloaney? On reflection I don't think Harringtons would have made them feel like class traitors.

Mamey and FreeB finally de-robotised... now it's just the others, right honeyboo?

Mamey's dancing, look - s/he's doing the robot.

Kid v Dog match venue changed at last minute as stewards all working at Glasto. New stewards brought in from West Dulwich and Nunhead forums, new venue is shed (still full of cats - no dolphins - but they are being tempted out with elderflower cordial) contestants will be fighting on trampoline and judge will be all-seeing-eye provided badly chopped onions don't cloud vision. Net ball outside for little englanders (refereed by huguenot). Good news - date with honaloochie for winner. Bad news - it's in the drawing room.

did try - apparently the answer was 'no'

That's all very well if you haven't got Olympic tickets and the tubes aren't on strike - make a four/five letter song/word from the past you want to dance to/die to/marry to from that then. *searches internet for antidote to new strain of smart-arse bot*

Pictures of the stadium make it look as though watching a game there will be like watching Orient... from Upton Park. Temporary seating etc. could make a difference but is it REALLY (Matty Etherington's return apart) going to look like this? http://farm1.static.flickr.com/121/255863389_47d2233f17.jpg ETA: now Your Arsenal is closed can we expect an influx of chatty and disenfranchised Gooners on the EDF?
