I didn?t mean to suggest they had no part in increasing prices, just they weren?t the major force At least half of their customers want them to do that in any case

As has already been pointed out it's not an increase in the number of estate agents in the area - it's replacing one that was already there. So I don't think the area is going to suffer unduly I'm no lover of estate agents but they exist because people use them. They don't have special "laws". They don't, in themselves, push prices up - that is buyers competing with other buyers. It's entirely possible to buy or sell houses without estate agents but most people use them - hence the number in a desireable area

This is ridiculous. Im out

nope not like that at all "there is too many foreigners here" - not really look at this number. So no problem really "crime is out of control" - again, not really, look "there is a huge budget defecit AND a national debt problem" - yep there is, anyone got any ideas on how to fix it? 5 years of global leaders, established economists and various measures haven't been able to find a solution. I'm all for people continuing to talk about that one I don't think they are similar

but you can't call these people stupid gombeens, you have to "engage with their legitimate concerns" Apparently. Instead of dealing with important stuff, the 2 years leading up to the election will be everyone talking about the the perceptions in that report as if they were real - which isn't a waste of time at all, nooo

I just logged out and back in - apparently not

don't you have to be logged in to get the "read" flag tho?

your link is probably including information about your login details - something your friend won't have log out and find the post again, and send that as a link maybe?

I'd say aim for a 13:30 departure from Plough down Barry Rd

did some googling myself - interesting to see the results link to a NS article as some context http://www.newstatesman.com/nelson-jones/2013/01/should-ginger-bashing-be-considered-hate-crime

I'm all ears/eyes. Genuinely interested

The way things are going it?s going to seem like I?m picking fights with anything Otta posts ? I?m not really I?m broadly in agreement Individual sports require the person to be driven to the exclusion of almost anything else ? it?s not even optional. But it?s hard to look at Murray and see the people of Dunblan celebrating, and him talking about it and how it?s helped that town exorcise some ghosts and think ?he?s only in it for himself?

oh but the factions and sub-factions within a leaning, Otta! But another good benefit of paper versus TV - you can just avoid the bits you don't want to read, and not wait for a segment to be over

", but I find all newspapers really annoying. I find most columnists just smug in their comfort zone. " on this point I'd have to partly disagree. Compared to TV news, which I almost literally cannot watch, newspapers (as a medium) are great. I think they are in trouble and close to being a relic from a bygone age, but words will continue to matter even as images gain in currency It is newspapers which have broken the sort of important stories that require investigation, leads, revelations (Telegraph and expenses scandal, Guardian and the newscorp/police/politicians collusion etc) TV news just sort of shows things that are obviously happening Columnists are what they are - there are only so many decent ones and they are spread thinly across all of the papers. But news alone, without opinion would make for a very dry read. And even the bad ones have to turn around a substantial amount of copy in a short space of time - with their mugshot attached it can look likey they are being smug, but it's a job I started reading via newspapers (before books even) at a really young age and my regulars (in chronological order): Cork Examiner (now gone national as Irish Examiner) Today (before Murdoch took it over - at the time I had no knowledge of HIM but I immediately saw the paper I was reading turn to shite Times/Telegraph for a few months (early days in UK I went from apolitical to not-rightwing-but -DEFINITELY-not-left-wing, to oh-tunrs-out-I-am-a-leftie-really) Guardian But I will read any of the "broadsheets" and with twitter being what it is, I tend to have a pretty even split of articles across the titles these days I'm pretty close to abandoning a daily newspaper purchase - that feels wrong to me but there just isn't enough meat in any of them to justify me spending the cash. There has been a softening across all papers in terms of celeb/soft features as they try and attract more readers I understand the dilemma from an editorial point of view and I have no idea how they cope I don't think as many people self-identify as "paper x" readers compared to how many people like to dismiss the views of others by painting them as "paper x" readers

It's not about prejudice being worthy, it's just that some prejudices have more consequence

This time next week, people will be reflecting on the once-only spin -off event Wavering? Just come along. It might even be the start of your annual commitment to Barry Barry run.

Wasn't just a scot/brit winning today It was a scot/brit who had been constantly told he wouldn't / couldn't win who won Something in that Last 2 years have been some of the best sports years I've been party to 2012 Olympics Euro 2012 Ryder cup Murray semifinal Murray final Lions Something about cricket But today felt bigger than any of them. Watched final with friends and friends of friends and strangers. Guts were wrenched And he only went and won With style Speeches ( winner and loser) were small things of beauty Made me feel world can be better place. That's sport

Dunno if I would say "like"

"Hyde Park in particular has always been terrible sound wise. It's basically a wind bowl surrounded by buildings. That and residents complaining is of several reasons why Live Nation quit promoting gigs there after 10 years. I'm keen to see if the new lot have improved things (I have Stones on 13th) but I'm not expecting too much given reviews to date. I saw The Boss there just a few years back. He was super fit and managed a 3 hr set with ease. I think I mentioned it on here but got some stick because you were all too cool for school. But it was impressive." Ah yes, otta "tedious shite, shouts bloke" He changed his tune last week. He was like that with pixies too. ;-)

I did say the op was trolling but I think I was wrong I meant spamming

Am I spatting, numbers? Really? I'm slightly taken aback but not spatting. My first post questioned why someone would do an oft repeated guardian baiting thing based on the op but apart from that...

Crikey it's coming out now. "Tedious black and white view of the world". Righto
