  1. Erm, oh dear. Borini is good isn't he :-\
  2. veggiepeter you need to look up what libellous means.
  3. Bloody hell, chelsea draw, spurs lose (deservedly to be fair), and unless Liverpool sort it out they'll be losing too!

  5. I eat donner kebabs, and fully accept that I have no business worrying about the state of the place that serves it, being as it couldn't get any filthier.
  6. That clock is still there, it depicts the 12 disciples at the last supper amongst other things.
  7. Another view, which no doubt wilk be dismissed. labourlist.org/2013/01/the-arguments-for-cuts-at-lewisham-hospital-dont-stack-up/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+LabourListLatestPosts+(LabourList)
  8. Is 70% a "vast majority"? That still leaves 30% (a pretty big number) that they'll have to send elsewhere.

    Breaking Bad

    Mike is wicked. Really enjoying my second time round. Now half way in to season 2. Seeing the characters differently, with the advantage of hindsight. Didn't notice it so much first time round, but it's pretty scary how quickly Walt starts letting his morals slip in order to justify his actions.
  10. I've read the report, but I get a bit fed up with the patronizing tone of people saying "here are all the good reason, if you disagree it must just be because you're an emotional weakling". Sometimes emotive arguments are valid, particularly when a community is trying to save a valuable resourse. I have a pretty good understanding of budgets within local authorities and PCTs, and as I said before, I wouldn't say that none of the arguments for these changes are valid. However, I believe that there are valid arguments on both sides, and I personally think the services at Lewisham Hospital need saving.
  11. Cheers, will check it out. We'd only need a small container, we don't have a lot of furniture, it would just be loaqds of boxes.
  12. Rather better because it matches your's MM? I'm sure there are some very good business reasons why the proposals may be a good idea, but everything just can not come down to finances.
  13. I was finding the thread great, and very informative until the last page or so. But that's finished now.
  14. Ofsted reports don't really offer any real picture of what a school is like, and they never will until they start turning up unannounced.
  15. We're toying with the idea of moving in with one of our parents for a (very limited!!!!) time in order to straighten out the finances a bit and find a nicer place to rent. (nicer meaning where the landlord isn't 5 doors down and constantly watching). If we did this we'd need to put some stuff in storage. Can anyone recommend anywhere, and give me some idea what the cost would be? Cheers

    Breaking Bad

    Saul is genius!
  17. Fair enough. For the record, you have my sympathy, I have a very strong willed 3.5 year old girl.
  18. Family Room at it's best. Someone comes on and tried to offer advise (not all of which I'd agree with I might add), advise not gratefully received, and person immediately vilified. Excellent work ladies, you're doing yourselves proud.
  19. It is good bussiness to spot a gap in the market that they can fill. Good luck to you for making money from it if it is providing a public service which you can't get elsewhere locally.

  21. Sorry accidental post.

I could be wrong. If I am wrong, then he still shouldn't be taking it upon himself to object to things on behalf of residents without their support.
  23. In 2010 we went with our then 9 month old daughter to Venezuella for a friend's wedding. Not what I'd call an enjoyable trip for the most part (although it had some great moments). My wife had already read about the kidnappings in Caracas (which there are lots of), and was totally paranoid before we even got on a plane. We were staying in La Victoria, where my friend's wife's family live. They welcomed us like long lost relatives, and that side of things was great. They also provided an apartment for my wife & I, and another couple we know very well. As they dropped us there and left, the bride's cousin (who's English was limited) said "Daytime, you go out, fine. Dark, you go out, you get shot". Then he left, and we say looking at each other wondering what we'd gotten ourselves in to. All the shops served you through iron bars, and it didn't help that my Spanish is pretty limited. There was very little nightlife that I saw, except for one bar which I genuinely would not have felt comfortable going in, it was full of very hard looking men who eyed you with suspition. Theyt also assumed we were white Americans, so that didn't go down too well! After the wedding we all went to the coast and stayed at this very nice hotel, but every compound was surrounded by high walls and barbed wire, and gaurded by armed men. Nothing happened to us whilst we were there, but I was mighty releived to get on the plane home, and even that came after a horrid airport experience, as their customs officers are more like military (they may actually be military, I'm not sure, I'm just glad I wasn't trying to get anything naughty on the plane!). Having said all that, we met some truley lovely people who took us in to their home and treated us like family, so I do have some great memories from the trip, but there was always an undercurrent.

Think it became The Vale in 2003, but The New Hamlet Inn probably fits the bill for this story better. Very odd place on a weekend night!
