  1. Overground from hop or forest hill direct to dalston junction? Practically stokey high st around the corner

    And work next day What could possibly go wrong Cool see you then. Was that a yes from you as well otta? And mr medic, surely you are watching?
  3. you may have to change trains at Blackfriars but it may be on same platform
  4. it's a teeny bit out of date - the corridors on there have now opened out into a fairly swish ticket office I'll check platform 3 and 4 status on way home
  5. Blackfriars station only has platforms 1 & 2 at the moment, 3 & 4 haven't been unveiled yet (last I checked when I walked past earlier this week anyway) That said, I can SEE the new platforms behind the works and they are on the same level - the new station does have lift access also. It's possible the platforms are unveiled this weekend of course I have taken the train from PR to Kings X last week and didn't have to change at all btw Whichever, I suspect you will be fine on this route

    Anyone watching the Ireland game on Sunday and where? Home is standby but I have great memories of watching games at The Castle in 2002
  7. David Carnell pointed me to this place in Peckham which, while on the small side, appears to be along the lines of what's being planned above I would love something like the Roxy in ED but, as ???? has pointed out many a time, the units are just too small and the footfall isn't enough Anywhere which might be big enough - such as the old video shop, now the charity shop next to the Palmerston - is asking for stupid amounts of money per annum And much as plenty of people support the idea on here, a similar thing happens when Inside 72 is discussed on here. Plenty of ardent supporters, just not enough of them in there spending their cash to sustain it
  8. a google brings up plenty of recent issues along similar lines try this one maybe?
  9. I deliberately have been staying out of as many arguments as possible ? but when you started to justify your position by saying ?doing it to Clegg is wrong and why didn?t people do it to Blair? I thought haaaaang on a minute, you?re just throwing mud now and provided examples of people doing just that Do I agree with it (protesting outside politicians homes?) - Short answer is ?no?. Longer answer is it?s hard to see the Clegg example as anything but a tea party compared with previous examples and too much is being made of it You don?t need to beat the Blair?s-illegal-war drum with me ? I and many other have been saying exactly that since day 1 But your anti-left tirade seems odd given that it was the countryside alliance who doorstopped Blair in 2004 ? it?s a tactic used by all sides As for the rest of your post, you seem to be getting angry again, tilting at some leftish-shaped windmills in a generalised way but has got little to do with what is being discussed here
  10. oh wait - an anti-war vigil outisde Blair's house
  11. Blair's house has been surrounded by people back in 2004 not over the war mind you, but people have done it
  12. A lot of people "gunning" for coulson and hunt will also have spent much of the last 10 years gunning for Blair. A lot of people hate the stench of corruption regardless of which house it stems from. The liberals on here have largely spent the existence of the forum hating Blair. There is no liberal conspiracy to hate "that" lot and defend "the other" lot It's one thing to berate tribalism, but very hard to unite when some people appear to be so bent on divisiveness
  13. I suspect even a cursory look at the ingredients list will tell you why Iceland is cheaper Either they are or they aren't - muddying the water with "may" is just poor
  14. dunno about the scottish company not being linked photos appear to show exact same car and logo
  15. twitter essentially - but from sources who tend to be reliable on this sort of thing
  16. Temp or agency staff? There is usually something in agency contracts which prevent them joining the place of work fulltime until a period (usually 6 months has passed?) But that is usually at the behest of the agency so they don't lose good staff - seems a bit odd that the main employer is saying no and the agency is saying yes in this case But there should be something about this specifically in his contract
  17. So Kenny is out (bar the shouting) - who next for Liverpool manager
  18. dunno what she's worried about - if she gets done, life is a piece of piss in prison. I read it in the sun, must be true Still due process should be followed so hopefully the world and his wife won't prejudice the case
  19. Because mick p said "cpz or no" and you jumped all over him with "MP you're wrong about CPZ. Whilst the smug admirable will walk or even jumpp on a bus and find it impossible to believe many people from SE21, Se24 and Se23 just won't bother popping down to LL if they can't park that easily anymore, it's not that much of a draw " Like he was some deranged pro cpz nazi My basic point is this area is slightly, but significantly, less car dependant than most other areas. That's not a bad thing. Making it more dependant would be a bad thing. Not lest because petrol is running out (or becoming more expensive at least)
  20. Plus you are banging on about cpz or parking restrictions as if I'm FOR them. I have made no such argument. Any pro cpz thread in the past I have been against. Check them
  21. You can be quite odd at times My newspaper reading habit has sweet Fark all do do with anything, so you can give that a rest for a start. FACT the local economy is very mixed and includes (and depends) on all kinds of punters But to pretend it isn't anormal in terms of car use is just a bit wrong. You quite car usage stats from near your road like its some kind of revelation. It isn't. But that doesn't make the area the same as, say west/east ham where EVERYONE drives to the local shopping centres or even the car parks near east ham high st The ratio here is different. That's not a controversial statement is it? Why is that a high opinion of anyone, much less myself? William rose complained about the congestion charge being death of his business? Turned out to be best thing that ever happened to him What are you so upset about ?
  22. By the by, lordship lane used to be known as hardship lane for a reason By comparison with much of the country, the city, or the shires it's still doing better than many places I would argue that one of the reasons for its competitive success is the worthies that quids do derides. It hasn't built any car parks in the last 20 years but has thrived. Because the people who have moved here have been the worthies he so decries Lordship lane will wither when the car parks are built, the chains move in and the worthies move out. Then you will have the walworth road scenario.
  23. Brilliant. And when SE22 Is like Clapham, you can move again.. meanwhile...
  24. That's journalists for you
