Not local, but with transport links being as good as they now are, I'd head over to East London. Overground from Peckham Rye / Forest Hill to Whitechapel. Then District Line to Green Street (Upton Park).

I wish them good luck, but another Italian is not exactly exciting in an area with a few Italians.

Or just chip in for our dream honeymoon, even though you can't afford to take your own family to a caravan for 4 nights. Fuck off!

I can't see how this could possibly be a bad thing. Of course the Pubcos will say it's a bad thing, because finally their license to rob people has been torn up.

I went in a cab, the wife turned up in her mum's little car, I'm rubbish with cars, but it was like a Ford Fiesta. After the ceremony my sister drove us to the reception in a posh car that she'd hired. No idea what it was.

Thankfully I've been too.busy to watch any football this weekend. I knew Liverpool would lose. No Sturridge is really bad, but it's well deeper than that.

Louise, if you like an old fashioned Italian, try That's Amor? on Kirkdale.

Yeah, in 93, the year Orbital,Senser, and Back to the planet played. We were in the SELMC stage. God I was only 15. My teens were awesome fun.

I've played a couple in my time, but not for a while. Does anyone remember the Urban Free Festivals of the early 90s at Fordham Park Deptford (just down the road from The Venue / New Cross Inn)?

I can't wait for DelFest!

*bob* already has that one covered.

Nearly every vegetarian I know that was once a meat eater has told me they miss bacon snadwiches.

No, absolutely not, and of course she had to step down. But I just feel cynical about most politicians these days, and think the vast majority of them from all parties would look down their nose at a lot of people. They just wouldn't be stupid enough to put it on social media.

Not meant as a lost youth thread RD. Someone said Britpop, but for me that does feel like ages ago. In my OP when I said "There are things more recent than that which I'd have sworn came first." I was actually thinking of Oasis songs. I still think of The Killers first album as quite recent, but that's over 10 years old now.

I'm quite patriotic, but I wouldn't dream of hanging an England flag out because it carries too much stigma. And that's the point. She didn't need to say anything with that photo, because deep down we all have our predjudices, and we all knew what she was saying.

I was genuinely gobsmacked yesterday to see someone post a thing on facebook about Shawshank Redemtoion being 20 years old http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2840523/Morgan-Freeman-Tim-Robbins-reunite-20th-Anniversary-Screening-Shawshank-Redemption.html 20 bloody years!!! There are things more recent than that which I'd have sworn came first. What things still feel quite new to you, but really really aren't?

My former next door neighbour on a quiet Sydenham street had a big England flag outside his house for the whole 5 years I lived there. He was a lovely old fella who cut his lawn with scissors. He probably had some views common for his generation, but certainly wasn't a hateful man, and never said anything to me that made my think he was bigotted. In the summer my next door neighbour on my estate in Penge strung England Flags outside his flat. He's just not very bright (he told me the only thing that could stop England winning the World Cup was the heat). I don't think either of these men are nasty racist types, but equally I could imagine both of them ticking the UKIP Box. Then I walk around an estate in Eltham where every other house has a flag, and I feel quite confident in saying that a lot of them are nasty racist types, because on several occasions I've been sat in these houses listening to them quite shamelessly telling me all about it.

Louisa, you're spot on, it was incredibly stupid for an MP in 2014 to be doing something like that, and it's a real self inflicted wound for Labour without a shadow of a doubt.

Nothing to add, but bloody hell, that sounds scary. Glad you managed to get out of it unscathed.

"And I'm bound to say that if you can afford to rent in ED you can afford to buy somewhere." You could certainly afford the mortgage payments, but how are you going to save the deposit?

Ahhh, you're probably right. Boring, I prefer stabby.

Hadn't read Pokertime's last post when I posted that.
