I was in ironic mode Otta - their statement, quoted, is clearly laughable and a lot of silly pretentious nonsense - it is, as you say, obviously an expensive restaurant with an attached bar. Having said that maybe they'll go down the Palmerston/Franklins route and mask the high-end food area with a few locals sipping pints of mild 'out front' for 'colour' and a dash of authenticity. If the price of their beers matches their food I fear they may struggle to recruit. I have sent in my resum? in the hope of a doggie bag come closing time. eta: Now, if they served the faggot in a crusty bread roll with mushy peas as a bar snack...

They disagree- THE PATCH - LONDON'S FIRST SELF-SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITY PUB "The Patch is a community gastro-pub that is owned, supplied and managed by the local community" Some pub... some community.

And the first quarter finals of the season :) *sings* Wemberleeee wemberleeee...

Only 26/60 - and I even went for the microbrewery pale ale!

I think it's fair enough that admin should pass-on a business's request not to be discussed on this forum - perhaps a sticky list of these businesses would let us all know the places to avoid..... ...talking about I mean.

I have secured the ears of my basset hound.

A draw today abroad not a bad result - what are the odds of Zaha coming on loan in Jan? Make a good partnership with Morrison (handbags notwithstanding) and it doesn't look like Carroll's return is exactly imminent.

In '87 I was living in Ling Rd, Canning Town. Had just put a new roof on a shed attached to the bottom of the stairs of our first floor maisonette - corrugated plastic sheeting. During the storm I went down and stood under it, it went up and down like a fecking trampoline but stayed on.

Do you or don't you? - I'm undecided on this one...

ETA: Y'see I'm sure you meant "jokes that use unacceptable terms like..." or maybe meant to put inverted commas around both words, but by not doing so you you can easily be misinterpreted; pedantry perhaps but there IS a case for the proper use of grammar, punctuation etc.

I hope the 'bar' is cheaper than the restaurant.

Kaolin & M. and Andrews both good options (also Milk of Magnesia - is that still around?) - it's the clay-like substance in them. Like rats not dying when they get poisoned just the once; they eat clay, which some poisons will stick to, so they can pooh the poison out (which is why they are often poisoned over a longer period of time thus building up the tolerances until it's to late and/or heavy-a-dose for them to pooh out)... er, not having an argument with your other half are you?

It was all fields I tells yer, fields as far as the eye could see.

Not much on the forum these days - all bloody adverts

Always had a bit of a problem with cooking shows as we can only judge by appearance not taste - a bit like being seduced by the 'serving suggestion' on a tin of spam. Oh, and monkey tennis is more than possible as long as there are Partridgesque presenters like melansue excreting their arse-clenching (go with the metaphorical paradox) version of charm and bonhomie (and humour apparently) like over-promoted sixth form prefects... or is that sexist?

Lose weight now, ask me how.

Saw it agan today - think I preferred it when it was half finished.

I think the Indie have the best suggestion - The Anti-Theft Sculpture as that appears to be its only purpose - a statement that says "Come on then! Steal this!" I hope someone tries.

Until you want to sell, but then you can just throw your tenants out with a month's notice if you've played the short-term lease card correctly can't you? I mean, hey, it's their fault for renting. ETA: For some people a rented property is a home - not an investment opportunity or a short-term ladder-climbing solution.
