Took 4 year old to the cinema to watch it a couple of weeks ago and she loved it She laughed at the funny bits, clung to me for the scary bits, cheered at the action bits and shed a few tears in the sad bits Perfect And of course now every time we agree on something we have to fistbump (with the noises)

I get that you can?t turn from Rye Lane onto Holly Grove but the point stands ? traffic is very tight in that part of town. If you allow a designated zone for pick ups at the station it will generate traffic, through those back streets and on Rye Lane itself How many cars could feasibly use the space by the station at the same time do people think?

Arseblog very good on these idiots today http://arseblog.com/2015/02/idiots/ and as he points out, it does no one any favours to pretend this is just a Chelsea problem

Yup. Read that earlier today and very good it is too.

googling firefox windows font is very faint brought me https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=firefox+windowsfont+is+very++faint&rls=com.microsoft:en-gb&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1&gfe_rd=cr&ei=tRPiVMSMOsuq8weDg4DAAg&gws_rd=ssl This looks to be it? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/974756 not saying it helps you - a few different possibilities - but people seem to be experiencing similar (based on what you wrote anyway) Either way, IE is awful but so is Firefox these days. Chrome or possibly Safari? -

this site worth checking out - depends on how on the ball the individuals pubs are in updating it but this pub is always up to date http://www.perfectpint.co.uk/pubs/the-gardeners-arms-lewes

I generally won't go above 5.9% at most for any drink... Those stupidly strong APA's... I'll try them but I'm not paying the money to feel REALLY bad the next day

I was the same. I don't know what exactly got me over the "hump" but nothing tastes like that to me now. I know it did then so I'm not disagreeing with you. But Im definitely glad i did get here

"So out of interest, why did you start on this path? " I started drinking lager when I was young, in a country that had no ?ale? presence at all (at all) By the time I came to England that taste was embedded and ale drinkers seemed fuddy duddy But over the years as I got more interested in food I was aware that whilst I liked different foods and cuisines, and got into wines and then whiskeys, all of these beers that had seemed to occupy a similar space were ?off limits? to my closed mind, i would try one occasionally but just go ?urgh? In the end I just got bored of lager ? really really bored. And more friends were drinking ales ? people I trusted. Then places started selling the beers that Jeremy talks of ? plenty of pale ales targeting the ?bored with lager? crowd and then I moved into a proper ales town and it was one thing after another Works out much cheaper in the pub ? less cheaper in the offy ? you don?t get those 6 cans of Red Stripe for a fiver deals on ales

When "craft beer" started appearing in a few outlets you knew what to expect - a small selection of specially chosen and interesting small scale beer Nowadays you have every mainstream place trumpeting "craft beer" on stencils in the window and it amounting to not much more than bottles of Brooklyn Lager (which is more than acceptable btw) Some places do it better than others ('Spoons do a good job here I think)and hopefully soon the phrase will go away and we will be left with a world where going for a beer just means assuming we have a better range than we did 10 years ago

"to subsidise the real ale, to keep the old boys happy" Heheh Sadly I?m actually becoming old so this pertains to me But interestingly, when I started down the ?path away from lager? a year and a bit ago, I would say I was very similar to Jeremy in terms of which beers we would go for ? keg, pale ale/golden ales I thought I could go for the cask stuff but couldn?t take to it But a further year down the road and it?s rare for me to buy a keg beer ? pretty much cask all the way, including dark beers One reason is where I live being so much more geared to ales (all the lagers are available too ? but the cask isn?t limited to the same few brands I see in most London pubs) but that 3 quid something pricepoint? That?s definitely a big plus And now if I have to have a lager (say in a curry house) I?m kind of... resigned...

Oh the poor woman loz! I wouldn't be happy if I spent time researching only to overlook the one small detail that will annoy me forever Sue was already stressing about having to buy the darn thing in the first place -
"It's really rather special. If's up there in quality with a similar aesthetic to the best works by Richard Hawley or Bill Calahan, maybe some Leonard Cohen. " just seen this - you know how to sell it for sure. Downloading now

I'm not saying there is any argument in your statement titch. We are in agreement about the whole situation as far as I can see I was just saying that my "why?" Post was faux naive but you took it at face value. And that's fine too.

Whoosh titch Quids made a bald statement. I just responded with a faux naive "why". I didn't even make a "for" case to make it more obvious The case against lambert is long. I am aware of what's been happening at villa.

When Carnell and I do "dinner" , it's more like seething competition.
