Cazz. You were already contributing to the thread about this place. It's hardly news to you

So that?s what the Barry Barry Run IS ? it?s just not happening this year But as up to 100 participants have taken part in each of the last 2 years, with at least that many at a pub either end, it has been a popular enough even to mark it?s absence

some background here: https://sites.google.com/site/barrybarryrun/

dopamine - are you asking about this year specifically or more of a "what is teh Barry Barry Run?"

Baptism is just a rite of passage for most faiths I think, but with the Catholic church is it still "damned for eternity" if you die unbaptised?

Obviously my last post is of no use to people driving on their own.. but just in case there is another passenger who can sit with them.

our daughter suffers badly from this too. Driving to a festival in Dorset last year we had 3 incidents - what joy But it is inconsistent (which makes me suspicious of wristbands and homeoptahic remedies "working" - could be pure coincidence) - she managed a 2+ hour journey around winding hills of Perugia without any real problems - we told her it was a long car ride and she should go to sleep. Plus their car seats are set up differently which seemed to help - angled more upwards than forwards I think But what has definitely worked every time is holding her head so it doesn't loll around - she stresses and is not happy for the length of the journey but she doesn't get sick

You see what happens when you let people out of the for sale section...?

Anyone reading this wondering who? What? Why? Just come along. Have a drink. Meet some people. Hear the glorious recounting of Barry years gone by

I say wait another few weeks and there will be another new chef

Yup, the (sh)amble is set for 13th. Shall we say set off from plough around 1.30? Gives plenty of time for people to have a few there first

I don't think any libraries "lend" e books. Those that offer a service just use subscription service for certain e readers... The same service available to anyone from their sofa A central library and e book lending seem to be mutually unnecessary surely?

Lee was a BIT ranty, but that doesn't mean he is wrong Some bus routes simply are better run than others. 484 is poor and the 37 oscillates between ok and poor The bus countdowns for 40/176/185 are near enough reliable bus countdowns on 37 route, no matter where you are, can be a complete work of fiction. Yesterday at Herne Hill it said 15 mins, then 13, then back to 18, then stayed at 20 mins for a while before eventually counting down to 0 and a bus turned up On other days it can say 8 minutes, only for a bus to arrive in 2 minutes This just doesn't happen on other routes and there must be an underlying reason - some routes rely on manual updates maybe? Anyway - 484. Rubbish. All single decker services in London = rubbish

plus the Dame pronounces John waaaaay better in Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence

not really H - it's not hearing my name, or who says it - but the combination of who says it and where they say it. By calling me John she is breaking the 4th wall, see

I dunno. Keeper sent off in a final against Barcelona and still we go one nil up saint Barcelona. And the we lose...it's not winning but it's a sniff

Deep original thinking dog duck, coupled with in attentive reading of the thread. But knock yourself out

Some people are vitriolic, or at least unsparing in their criticism. But many others have simply pointed out some basic flaws which seem easily addressible. I didn?t believe most of the complaints, so when I did go I wasn?t outraged or really badly treated but they were... pretty sloppy. Sometimes pleasantly so, sometimes less. But they could be doing better And I want them to do well so I?m not aligning myself with Uncle Ben (the very thought...)

I always get a tingle when Louisa calls me by my first name

And you have to eat it on the street. Standing up

If you ARE going to have a coffee and pastry shop chain thingy, at least Paul have some claim to pastries and bread which are much better than Nero/Starbucks etc? Nero coffee isn't bad but their pastries are pap

you can really get a flavour of how hard it is to get ANYTHING done in this world, when you see someone as open as the Ivy House team trying so hard but facing so much sniping, misinformation and general negativity from some quarters No business should be exempt from criticsm of course, but man... sometimes a local business needs support. Having posted the "worrying" opening hours, any chance of BeckhamPye giving a mea culpa? For someone who claims to be happy about the pub opening, their demeanour is a bit one-dimensional

"over to you pards" "over you pards" "over pards"

mere days before this whole madness is gone, surely? people (Alan Brazil) hinting at JK's mental health but what about man who appointed him?

Has to be 13th for me -
