So the predictions are for a lor of SNP seats at the GE - despite a majority in Scotland recently voting against the SNP's raison d'etre. So either this same majority are voting for a party whose fundamental aim they oppose - or the electoral system is a little bit jiggered? If the Libs hold the balance again - and I suspect they will - surely they will demand a PROPER referendum on electoral reform (not the farce of last time) as part of any deal. And this time around perhaps Labour will not have the arrogance (or make the mistake) of assuming the Libs could be tweaked by the ear because they couldn't possibly work with the Tories.

...we will still be 2 hours out

at the third stroke...

KB - didn't I kill you yesterday? In Abbotswood behind Sainsbury's? Could've sworn it was you.. Okay back to b/w...

This is in my head atm - I think I may've been 'got at'...

I'm predicting a 3-1 win for the scousers so you might be in luck RD (given my track record).

Congrats AqM - I thought you would know - bless his sweaty armpits. Series was made in late 60s but set in future (1983), ship was the (Spin)drift, Mr Big (self explan.), and based loosely on Dr Smith from 'Lost in Space'. Oh, and played by Kurt Kasnar.

Or yell at it - "F*ck off out of my neighbourhood ya nouveau-sombre bleedin' solar-generated blow-in!"

Edited to remove ref to clock being focked - I thought it was the medication...

Right genre SB. not '74 though - few years earlier Overweight, sweaty chap, a coward who hated being a plaything of others. Actor who played him had initials KK.

Soz for lapping Loz but I am away from screen a lot (no smart phone layabout me) so will push on regardless and if all wrong Loz can reboot... No DF - this is a fictional character in a tv series who is on the run in 1983. He is with a group of others being sought by the SID (special investigations department). His character is loosely based on a Doctor from a show roughly 5 years earlier.

*sigh* - this character is a bank robber on the run, 1983, (spin) drifts into a dangerous city and spends his time hiding from Mr Big.

There are clearly defined communities/areas/vibrant-neighbourhoods in London like (as Louisa says) Peckham and Brixton and even (for the well heeled blower) Dulwich V. The areas in-between are featureless, bland places like ED. Suburbs that fill in the gaps. People blow in to these gaps, like motes caught on the wind, for proximity to 'proper' areas - like timid flies landing on the ankle of a carcass rather than on its split and bloated gut. ED is a 'gap'for the urban timid or the aspirationally challenged. Most people in ED, therefore, will tell friends/family who don't know London that they live in the Peckham or Brixton 'area' (under 35) or Dulwich (over 35 or still pretending to be under 35). Most (if not all) of the above is bollocks.

Oh no, don't pull that one, you said it first* *Thismessagedoesnotconstituteacceptanceoftermsandconditionsandcontributionsorhintsarenotproofofinvolvementalsocontributorsarewarnedtheircontributionsmaygoupordown.

Ah, the fragrant Vera...

Wasn't there a call for decadence a while ago? Surely this ennui - not knowing what to post/moan about/celebrate/object to/criticise/abuse/promote or just 'say' - is exactly the kind of decadence that preceded the fall of the Roman Empire. Keeky is already fiddling but is more Elagabalus than Nero - once the beggars are rounded up to be whipped with hand-rolled taglierini, yummy-mummies and stay-at-home dads fornicate in giant sourdough baps and Fellini's La Dolce Vita opens the ED Cinema we can sit back and watch everything fall majestically to bits.

Jim Panorama?

Only have the two outfits Steve - if I'm wearing one I'm carrying a selfie of the other - just to give folks the option.

I have to pick an outfit first. Plaid shirt and beany with jumbo corduroys or tweed coat, moleskin strides and driving gloves (with the non-slip-grip). Just leave the door on the latch.

During, before or after the act?

Jeezus Snork-Hunca-Wood-keek-etc you really are desperate. Why don't you just take the foil hat off, knock one out and relax like the other stay-at-home dads?

Listened to some of it on the radio but the Aussie station's coverage/approach was dreck.
