Sometimes because, as an area gets more successful/prosperous, the shop Landlords (most of the business premises on the Lane are rented rather than owned) increase rents to the point where only a chain, able to subsidise high rents with tax breaks and other corporate strategies, can afford them.

Another Blairite going - can only be a good thing.

Not even cheered by Totteringham's spanking - even the chuckle brothers Gold & Sullivan can't still buy Allardicci's con trick surely - we need a new manager soon - and with enough cash to buy a striker in January

I am now an ethical carnivore - I eat saddle of sable, ermine cassoulet and mink chops. I'm untouchable.

Gutted... the only pub on the lane I really liked. FM does look good though - if they do the whole sour-dough & wood-fired oven thing at their current prices. If LL can sustain 7 or 8 curry houses within walking distance of each other a couple or three pizza places should be fine.

I read it... it had a historical gist, a family flavour and, it's probably fair to say, was not 'pro'. Still, water under the (Dike) bridge eh?

It's the barefaced bollox spouted by players and pundits alike that bites. ITV's desperation (personified by the dejected bunch crammed into that Wembley cupboard) knowing that, from 2015, this will be the only football they show, is hole-puckeringly embarrassing.

Last night match I went to was Jan. this year - at the Haemorrates - watching the Irons get stuffed 5-1 in the freezing cold. The beer was shit too.

Take a book.

Local folk musicians realise there IS a way of being discussed on the CGF...

for some reason - a mish mash of old Trevor Horn ZTT stuff (Propaganda, Anne Pigalle etc) - very 'whoosh-y'

I'm in.

The only reason I like to have a pop at Miwaww is because I'm living in enemy territory as it were - most of the neighbourhood that aren't DH fans are probably Miwaww. But it feels a little forced these days - dockers blah blah, thugs and hoolies "'oo are ya?" etc. When I first started following The Irons that disgraceful bunch of tossers in the Shed were the biggest rivals, for others it's Tottingham. The only real derby-type rivalry we could have would be if Hearn's lot step up a couple of leagues and gain 20K or so fans. Feckin' Orient w@nkers.

I know, only a friendly, trying things out etc etc... but what an inept and shitty performance.

miserable bastards in 'witty' t-shirts

Don't know about the vill. but the moneygrubbingbastards/landlords who own the Callows site (inc. garages) want (I have been reliably informed) ?40k+ while the new Lush (next door to the newsagents) was around half that.

I know. Shocking. After being offered 2 fer 1 tkts to see MTH at North Greenwich Arena by EE I checked out a review from - http://www.birminghammail.co.uk/whats-on/music/review-mott-hoople-birmingham-symphony-6295618 - to find this slur. Not to worry though. Apparently there is still "an endearingly rebellious edge".

Man C result more of a surprise - Gooners not expected to win at Old Trafford were they? Really?

1 correct outcome (Man U) and 1 correct score (Liverpool's 4:0 unbelievably) - 4 points - about par for me.
