    manners

    I think slagging off anywhere people live constitutes "bad manners" even if they do it themselves even if it's true even if it's tongue in cheek But they live there for a reason - and ultimately other people slagging the place off is only going to make them feel that much worse I'm not saying "it shouldn't be done" - but it is good manners? Pretty sure I've done it quite a few times but it always makes me uncomfortable when I read it
  2. Mrs Strafer and the Straferette are often in there and say the same things you do kristy
  3. Live departures from Victoria showing all "on time"

    so "does suggest" = "absolute assurance" okaaay of course "opinion as fact, anectdotal evidence from yesterday as absolute assurance, " isn't new to the internet, That's most pub discussions ever. The internet just allows us to "hear" a lot more of them

    manners

    I'm a mere 12 years here and don't see the same thing But I no longer have to pay ?10 deposit to get a pool cue from the Forresters - I know that's because it isn't there anymore, but it does suggest a certain "lack of decorum" was prevelant in days gone by

    manners

    "*Acknowledging the usual yes-I-know-its-a-generalisation clause." such politeness
  7. "Got some funny looks from passers-by on Sunday when I was doing it mind." because the residents of your street never give funny looks to 20-somethings with tweed trousers and flat caps

    manners

    "manners" are a funny thing tho At the weekend I saw some people sit at a table with a reserved sign on it - one of those "reserved at 8pm but feel free to sit here until then " type things When the people arrived for that table, at that time, the waitress very politely reminded them of this notice and asked them to vacate the table they put up a bit of resistance and spent rest of the evening curdling the milk whilst (and I heard them) berating the manners of the staff and people "reserving" tables Tossers. Didn't stop them complaining about "other peoples' manners" tho

    "Particularly prevalent here though lane lover." absolute nonsense if you are looking for bad manners you will find them, in fact it's all you will notice But despite the changing nature of Ed over the years I'm constantly surprised by how friendly it is - something also noted by visitors from more rural parts of these islands I would say that when performing the usual "no no after you"/opening the door for others type stuff, I get a well mannered and friendly reply about 95% of the time Ridiculously high average
  11. I presume you have already run a cable from laptop or iPod to speakers and decided if sound is good enough? If so, what other reasons would hold you back?
  12. At the 02 - wild horses wouldn't drag me Saw him at the Bloomsbury in 2009 tho - excellent He has released videos of recent show(s?) direct on his website for a small amount of cash, with no copy protection - well worth a few quid
  13. Even before that, trains were quite disrupted But as already said, buses coping fine (albeit busy)
  14. And his sitcom starts on fox channel in uk tomorrow night
  15. Not a problem. I'll pm you
  16. MM Not sure if you have the other options clear Can you see photos from your pc for example? I'm assuming you have the relevant menu option with email address entered? I have one setup and does everything I expect it to so could have a look if you are still stuck
  17. I sort of feel like we were damned if we do and damned if we don't don't pay Walcott enough and sell him? "The Exodus Continues" pay him? "He's not really worth it" to be slightly fair to Walcott, if I was him and saw Arshavin and co on 100ish a week I'd be pushing for equity too We're offloading some expensive deadwood, we have the money so on balance I'm happier he is staying than not But he is good enough? Jury is still out with the suspicion that he isn't - but we'll see
  18. not exactly fair on the fans there Otta (but I get the gist of your point)
  19. pretty brutal by Southampton to sack Adkins today
  20. yeah I tend to walk it as well - as Jeremy says it's almost enjoyable (providing you don't seriously hurt yourself with a head-over-heels incident) But if the buses are running then 176 is best. A train to LB and walk along the South Bank isn't so bad either (maybe a train from Denmark Hill/Herne Hill to Blackfriars would suit as well)
  21. Jade cottage next to blackbird bakery ?
  22. vinyl - Stand & Deliver - Adam & The Ants CD - Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me - The Cure Download - Telling Lies - David Bowie (1996 people... 96!!)
  23. If I'm eating flesh, and I've chosen which animal, not too fussed If I'm supposed to be eating a beef burger and it contains multiple animals, and not jut flesh but (mechanically recovered bit) but gristle and faecal matter then no thanks
