It's harder to argue that Hodgson was the main problem during his reign

Huguenot makes a good point, but... that is the argument used against people trying to expose stuff as well Basically, given the church's track record, I would err on the side of listening to people on this one

Seems to be? You sure about that LL?

fries = french fries chips = anything from fry-ish to nearly half a spud sized wedges (see also The Bishop)

Indeed Mick It's interesting how many people mention the ego dressing rooms, as if the manager who can't handle them is the problem, and not the egos I would argue it's those same egos which has played a large part in England failures

is this thread now some meta-critique of the various "word" games already in the Lounge Anyway, topic at had. Most pubs do over-dry bugers. So for that reason alone, The Bishop/Capital pub burgers are ahead of the game by virtue of being moist and not overcooked*. They also know that a burger should be a pattie and not a freaking golf-ball * I expect DulwichFox to pop up shortly and condemn the very idea as unhygenic and we're all going to die etc

Was never sure which I liked least - Barking Rd or Romford Rd Whenever people complain about SE London, I remember a time when I had REAL problems

to be fair to Otta, the shops are in a spot already known as Granville Arcade the Brixton Village name is tipping sliiightly towards pretentious But it is a great place regardless

Whatever about dulwich, other businesses, including The government, are cancelling contracts Bit of a major blunder by the owner all told

I knew as soon as the soho gigs were postponed that the chance for some special gigs was gone Somerset house will be lovely and I've seen them play there before but... Not the same thing. Still gutted

The bar opposite Herne Hill station (most recently the Poet?) is relaunching in June/July as a live jazz place

something about a spaniard always editing their posts to stick in the phrase ETA always raises an eyebrow

Hmm - not everyone is big on tv I grant you but an emphatic YES - people were genuinely unhappy with only 4 channels. They were so unhappy they even cheered when C5 was launched fer chrissakes! And was it 4 channels of quality TV - was it!!? I watch less TV than ever these days but it's good to know that when I do I can choose between more than shopping and chat channels Sky Arts 1 and 2 are in a class of their own. Sky Atlantic is chock full of quality HBO drama. More sport and movies than I could possibly watch (movies which don't have adverts AND which aren't TV versions with much of the dialogue beeped out) So no - I don't grieve for the old days Which isn't to say I like Murdoch or his malign influence in the political arena. But it's important to seperate what he sells to what he does. And it's not ALL bad but we can check out the old TV listings here as for the murdoch press, the ever excellent Andrew Mueller nails it here The public

Unless the residents of Grove park never drive anywhere outside the borough and ONLY park in designated car parks and NEVER park in a convenient spot I fail to understand how anyone can complain about dawn parking where she parks This parochialism is embarrasing If dawn was complaining about driving from kent and neede to find a parking spot but couldn't find any, I would see why people might think her entitled but she drives to work, finds a free parking space and uses it. Nowt wrong with that. What she is complaining about is being hassled for so doing

These appear to be just the job if you are looking for daily/monthly whatever

it's 2 years of water shortfall so regardless of how much it rains this week and next it's not going to replenish the water supply

meaning the person who puts the note out has no right, right? Unless the spot has markings legally preventing Dawn from parking there I'm totally on her side.

you know what foxy, I feel as if I should have known that but for some reason it never occured to me I'm often trying to search for 3 letter words so cheers for the tip

three letter words don't usually work I've found

I may have a +1 as well but tbc. I?m guessing Surma on a Wet Monday night should be able to accommodate fluctuating numbers tho? Also, not trying to be awkward with peoples' plans but given we have a new bar open this week opposite Surma (Draft House) would it not make more sense to meet there? Late in the day to be saying that and Actress is fine and dandy but just thought I?d gauge opinion Helbel65 ? if meeting at the Actress, look for a raucous table NOT eating pizzas. Has anyone PM?d you yet?

can I say "maybe" - haven't been to one for ages

Interesting weekend (apart from the Arsenal v Chelsea snoozefest) I think Fergie might look back at those scenes after the 4-2 goal with some horror. Waving at the fans etc ? not like him to count his chickens I still can?t decide who I would rather win (usual caveats about premier league being a distasteful monied spectactle aside) Someone new would be good. And I kind of like Mancini. But something about the way they conduct their business really bothers me. And they nick Arsenal players Man Utd ? should be my ?anyone but? team but genuine respect for Fergies achievements over the years Either way I?m glad it?s going to the wire

I bought it on day of release but haven't had a chance to sit down with it yet - there will be competitiveness, oh yes I hear the difficulty ramps up a bit more gently this time too

This story has more than a whiff of urban legend about it if you google some of the quotes you'll get many variants of the news source and the bank in question, but the script is the same don't be so credulous people!

if you have lots of garlic to peel, just put the cloves in a large bowl - cover with another bowl and shake vigorously for 20 seconds or so job done there is a youtube video of this tip somewhere but I'm blocked from youtube and can't link here
