Nope - you are coninuing to look for the facts to suit your own pet theories Texas = a hard working US state in very hot weather Finland, Germany, France = countries with cold weather and short working weeks

Loz I think it unlikely that any paper has NEVER done something like this - graph in the Spectator shows current available data here but it's not just about "the tactic" is it? it's about how rampant it was as a culture about the type of people they were doing it to about how News International was able to use it's influence and size to intimidate senior politicians and the police into not investigating previously Those are pretty serious issues

well to be fair, you have only posted a few messages on there AfN - the admins on there haven't had to deal with the real you yet.

one doesn't agree with that premise.

dried chpotles can sometimes be found in SMBS If you are after chipotles in a sauce (as commonly found in the US) then sometimes the mexcian food wagon "Buen Provencho" can be found selling them at occasional visits to the Rye pub But I just order mine online from chilipepperpete - other online vendors exist

Sorry ladyg but you already know the answer Is the second word "diet"? Is the first word a name? Then just remember the thousands of previous diets which all had their advocates and moments in the sun...

Loving brians work there. So I've edited my post too

Puts the whole johaan haari thing into perspective doesn't it? I don't think "it was on my watch but i wasn't aware" is an excuse that washed with rebekka when she is chasing down some social services managers Aaaanyway. I suspect that what we have heard so far is tip of the iceberg.

Oh god so udt IS Mikecg? Explains everything

Thats a uniquely leftie trait is it? Well I never..

Not a guardian writer but an occasional contributer. So is kelvin Mckenzie It was a shocking piece by her which has drawn universal condemnation, quite rightly But your point scoring leaves a bad taste in the mouth as well MM

A bit of both

True. We should complain to the mods Although I doubt the what's on section gets the same eyeballing as the main section or lounge

slightly OT, but I saw someone mention last night that Polly is turning into Alan Partridge's assistant, Lynn. Which made me chuckle

hah hah - very good my humble apologies :-$

Good shout Alan - that was completely a con artist and sounds like he had tampered with the machine beforehand Have you let the bank know about the machine in question?

Crime can be expected to rise in recessions unfortunately, it's not just Ed. And judging by people outside the station tonight you can warn people until you are blue in the fave, it doesn't seem to make a difference

Minutes before c4 news, maude pulls out of appearing. Apparently other govt ministers are disappearing as well Not a great show of leading the country I say

When something horrible happens, such as the original poster, then if course all sympathies apply But I think Karter knew i wasn't referring to the op

Thats because he is up to his Elba in work for the foreseeable I wanted to like it but ended up screaming at the telly during both series

deep thinking there batman

What can I tell you Alan - after your multiple posts on the subject I felt some balance was required

Alan, I don't think anything has descended into hate - you're over egging the pudding here regardless of the merits of the argument about lollipop ladies, Dulwichmum did behave like a "pompous arse." She strated not one but two threads ALL WITH CAPITAL LETTERS WHICH AS SHE WELL KNOWS IS AGAINST FORUM RULES When the threads got moved, instead of having a quiet word with admin or moderators (actually I'm assuming this as I don't know for sure) she started having hissy fits decrying teh whole forum, It was very spoilt behaviour. She hardly ever comes here anymore and when she she threw her toys out of the pram. When Admin responded publicly she hasn't bothered to reply I do know DM in real life, I am aware of the difference between her persona and DM character and it's fair to say she wasn't in character at any point in this discussion. If someone is behaving like a pompous arse there is nothing to stop a moderator so saying. Conversely when David Carnell behaves like a pompous arse, plenty of people are liable to tell him as much too. That all seems fair to me, and without any "hate" as you put it

If I was at the plough I would have checked how many 40 buses were parked up at top if Barry rd None = something Very Wrong after 10 minutes. Plan b required! But I know the psychology behind "well I've waited 20 minutes, I've INVESTED dammit, it must be around the corner" so I do sympathise. Did everything work out when you got there?

well, if lollipop people are being cut it's a moot point who they are meant to serve
