In local news... Miwaww finally see sense and appoint an ex hammer to lead them B)

Like a money-spinning 'opener' in Hong Kong wasn't disrespecting the tour enough...

I thought it was maudlin mauve - or 'how-it-used-to-be' taupe.

It's that phrase in the OP "choose not to eat meat for a variety of reasons". If the reason is not liking to chow down on gobbets of flesh they may not object to things like chicken stock, fish sauce, Worcester sauce, anchovy essence etc. and the chef wouldn't to have to guard against any possible 'contamination' with meat/fish essence as though customers were going to go into anaphylactic shock if they inhaled a speck of oxo (even to the point of making sure one didn't use the same spoon/pan). Perhaps predominantly vegetarian dishes are much easier to attain than strictly 100% vegan dishes? Though when the Blue Brick cafe stopped doing bacon and sausages at breakfast time I just sucked it up and went elsewhere.

Is it a letter complaining about the influx of gentlefolk and perambulators blocking the bridleway?

Is any of this tour going to be shown anywhere other than on Sky? (highlights etc.) If not I shall probably lose interest (like I did in boxing years ago).

(bearing in mind that the 'f' in four and five stands for freakshow)

I use 3 dongle and sometimes don't get through 7G in a month - downloads and iplayer type stuff will use it up quite quickly though. Reception not a problem (and I have the old type of dongle which was bought a few years ago not the newer 'faster' kind now on offer). Haven't had a landline now in 7 years and don't miss it - but then I don't do Netflix etc. or download much of anything.

Can the cup cake doyens of ED drag themselves out of despondency and make these the next craze we overdose on and get sick of please...? Come on - who doesn't want a deep-fried croissant pastry, rolled in sugar and filled with cream? http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/02575/cronut_2575295b.jpg http://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/foodanddrinknews/10085165/New-York-goes-nuts-for-the-cronut.html

today's street art IS tomorrow's screaming billboard or, as far as ED walls go, plus ?a change, plus c'est la m?me chose. (my fave is the one that looks like an old advert for a Dental Surgery on the side of the house at the end of Heber Rd - so evocative)

Another pointless friendly - still, at least we now know that being England Captain is an equally pointless appointment/honour.

Hannah and Sven?... more Konsthall than Kunsthalle; avant garde benches in the foyer but with nicer coffee?

Schei?e!! Wir wurde ausgeraubt! *mutters about "Bavarians and their Schwarzw?lder kirschtorte tactics" congrats Doc :)

Not liking all the Facebook tribute > pages though, find all that a bit creepy. Ditto all the vox pop "I just had to come..." stuff at the murder site. Why on earth the beeb thinks that it is newsworthy or adds anything to the reporting beats me. A cynic might say they were only interested in ramping up the emotions.

dead simps Stacey - over to you

Okay - easy does it The raconteur of The Angler's Rest.

JLS it is...

The self-help book? or your personal b?te blanc?

I was more alarmed by 'Robot @ Dulwich Festival' and had all but cemented myself in my well-stocked fall-out shelter clutching my Dan Dare ray pistol before nurse reassured me.
