Awesome guitar, amazing voice, but... Meh.

Funny, don't remember seeing them all there 10 years ago, or even 5 (not to mention 25). For the record, I'm not talking about the hardcore fans, of which I'm sure your other half is one. Just the recent additions.

The slip meant nothing, his touch gave it away and I don't think he'd have rescued it anyway, but he bloody tried to make amends. S'pose I have to take hat off to Chelsea for doing what they do well (parking a double decker bendy bus), but gutted. Didn't really expect a win but really hoped we'd get the draw. Fingers crossed City will drop 2 points now!!!

To be fair to the pundits, I think they have to be pretty careful what they say, especially with someone lime BFS who'd have his Lawers threatening legal action if they dared slate him.

I love singing at a footy match, I just dont like some of the singers in this case. And does one have to be rich to be a hipster? And how do you know whether any of them are rich / well off, or slumming it?

Forgot to do my predictions until I'd missed all but the United match. And put 4-0 for that but then changed it to 4-2.

Good post from Penguin, but "My impression of ED is that it is now more ethnically mixed than 25 years ago (I have no statistics to support this)" I personally don't agree with this, I felt (again, no stats just my own recollection) that I used to see far more black faces around the place when I was a kid / teenager.

Get yourself down to Dulwich Hamlet, there are a load of the annoying twats doing their best to ruin the matches.

Arsenal will be pleased with the saints today!

Surely lots of brand new schools require improvement. I'd have thought it natural for a school to take a few years to settle.

I don't really see why they're insisting on experience at the top level. Giggs knows the club better than most, and he'd have SAF backing him, don't see why they don't just give him a go.

And all of a sudden the team will remember that they're highly paid footballers and win the last 4 matches now they've gotten rid of the mean man that made them work hard.

I don't think it's uncommon for parents not to meet the head. It's hard enough to get five minutes with a class teacher.

Whilst I appreciate the points Jeremy made above about the landlord's carpet, it sounds very much like they have broken the LAW and are bullying you, and I wouldn't even be reasonable. I'd demand the details that by law should have been given to you within a month of your deposit. When they can't produce them (which I'm willing to bet they won't be able to) I'd tell them I want my full deposit back or I will start legal proceedings. Yes the landlord may then feel hard done by and have to replace the carpet from his own pocket, but I have zero sympathy because he's chosen to ignore the law. https://www.gov.uk/tenancy-deposit-protection/if-your-landlord-doesnt-protect-your-deposit It may well be that the agents have messed up, but that's for him to argue with them.

Surely every school (that uses banding) will try to do this to an extent. We live in a horrible results driven culture, and schools are very aware of this when they look at their budgets. But they can only cream off from those that actually apply to go there. I very much doubt that Haberdashers are any worse than anyone else for this, it's just that they have a good rep, so lots of people want to go there meaning they get more to chose from.

And this James is where I believe you are going wrong. In 2014 transparancy is a bloody must! And it protects you from morons accusing you of this and that, that should be obvious. I think you've done great work on this, but in processes like this everything should be recorded and open.

Hahaha

Can someone send me his number, I need someone like this to look after my kids.

RE The music thing, I know some people view it as elitist (and I see their point), but I think it's great that kids with a gift for music have a chance to go somewhere that will nurture that gift. Music is my thing so I am totally biased, but unless parents can afford private schools, lots of kids end up in schools where music really is an afterthought. I will always be grateful for my musical education at Aske's (not that they had the special music places back then).

Yep, AVG is good, and it just gets on with it, you don't really have to do anything once you've downloaded it and chosen some options.

As I've just posted on the other thread, neither party has made any announcement about what their admissions policy would be for a new school. Just because they do something in an existing school (in a different borough in the case of Haberdashers) doesn't necessarily mean that's how things would be done at the new school.

Saying HABS do banding like every other Lewisham school is all well and good for HABS Hatchem, but the Lewisham policy is hardly going to make a difference at the Dulwich Hospital site. I might be missing something, but as far as I can see this sort of policy detail has not been advertised by either party, so this is all just guess work and opinion, which acheives nothing more than muddying the water.

Posted this on the other thread, so in the interests of fairness... What I find really sad (and more than a little bit childish) is the putting down of Haberdashers / Charter by the supporters of either. As most reasonable people have stated in the last couple of weeks, both are capable of opening a new school, and a new school is what the area needs. Support your chosen side, fine. But don't try slinging mud at the other one because it basically makes you look like you belong at the new school in year 7.
