People been to both saying sound was much better than at Hyde park last year? My other half always gives out to me for reviewing sound at a gig.

sorry, wasn't meaning to knock the thread - I too did same search and found same as you. But we both (and therefore likely others) probably though "been done before, someone (else) will point that way again" Car or public transport tho, day trips TEND to be London based, just because there is so much to do and some of it takes so long to get there in any case. Or we are visiting friends in parts of the shires I may not want to visit otherwise But if I'm going somewhere nice and "different to London" I try and make it worthwhile by staying at least one night - although that has obvious cost implications Another (far more sandy) beach is Bournemouth. It is a fag to get to so you might bot think qualifies as a day trip - but as I tend to do that day trip a few times a month for work I'm including it!

I think it might be the number of times thread like this have been posted, and less to do with public transport On previous threads i have always recommended Eynesford. Half an hour from Peckham rye, aquaduct, eagle sanctuary, lovely village, paddling in the river etc Beach tends to be brighton

Over dramatising Your children may be special but noone is going to go to a restaurant to spend an hour or two staring into their room.

That's true for a lot of people in london. I have 10 houses that can see into my child's room. So what ?

Bowie in Europe this week Chic onstage soon All I'm saying is....

Can't wait for Glastonbury to start. This episode of the voice is banging on a bit

Sounds. That makes sooooo much sense now..

Much the same story here ? I?ll raise a tin (oops ? I mean bottle) in your direction

In my head its been there for 3 ish years. Just checked and it opened in may 2008. 5 years+ ago I'm not down with this time-speeding-up malarkey

Locale closing shouldn't be used as an example of an area not sustaining restaurants - it had it's supportes but was largely a moribund experience, and it is being replaced by another restaurant - a place which is sounding a lot more interesting You could have pointed to The Wishing Well in peckham and The Uplands in ED as indicators of the lack of demand for pubs - but they got taken over by different people and are busier by a factor of umpteen I don't like the way the old toy shop was moved on and I think I've had run-ins with the owner on here before about that whole episode, but for the life of me I have no idea why people are getting so worked up about it's conversion to a cafe/bar/restaurant. Good luck to them. If you don't like the look of it, don't go

Richmond Park to see the (deer 9and the general scal of it as well) Battersea childrens zoo is a good alternative to London Zoo - a lot cheaper but because it's smaller, little children don't get bored Agree with teh southbank suggestions too - Start at teh Design Museum (after the Tower Bridge visit) and head towards London Eye - a whole day in itself easily

almost certainly fine on ipad2

this one is really good http://www.fiftythree.com/paper ipad only tho there is always Sketchpad (which is android as well) but that can be a bit overwhelming Infinite Design (android) gets some favourable mentions online

Blandalanda But I would say this - if you get a chain like that up that end of LL, it will drag an awful lot more people up that way and should have a good knockon effect for other business up there (if anyone does take over the Mag for example....)

not sure what the problem is?

I had multiple visits. That's peers for ye I was never upset but nor was I ever impressed. It was a big chunk o' average. In sterile surroundings

Locale in ED, and it's previous incarnation as Green Room both struck me as overly sterile and cold places. The food at Locale.. I never had slop, but I never had anything that made me want to go back there Very much looking forward to the new place

don't mind me PR, I'm just sore because I started a thread about the Flying Pig in the business section and noone is posting on it there

this is what you have come back to Hon... irony free zone Pigs will fly, people... come on

The Grove?

"The only thing that has some limited success is long-winded expectation management: i.e. about 30min before I want him to do something (like putting on his shoes), I start saying "we will do xyz now and then put on our shoes to go to the park/playground/shop " This this this - it's not foolproof but it works most of the time I should also add that small revenge is possible. Even though she loves the ?but why?? times 10 questions, if I do teh same to her she gets really annoyed at being asked ?but why? after only 2 times * Serious face * ?Daddy stop it! Why are saying why all the time?? I'm a bad man

from quora: Ask yourself, if you were a venture capitalist pitched one of these ideas, what would your reaction have been? Facebook - the world needs yet another Myspace or Friendster except several years late. We'll only open it up to a few thousand overworked, anti-social, Ivy Leaguers. Everyone else will then join since Harvard students are so cool. Dropbox - we are going to build a file sharing and syncing solution when the market has a dozen of them that no one uses, supported by big companies like Microsoft. It will only do one thing well, and you'll have to move all of your content to use it. Amazon - we'll sell books online, even though users are still scared to use credit cards on the web. Their shipping costs will eat up any money they save. They'll do it for the convenience, even though they have to wait a week for the book. Virgin Atlantic - airlines are cool. Let's start one. How hard could it be? We'll differentiate with a funny safety video and by not being a**holes. Mint - give us all of your bank, brokerage, and credit card information. We'll give it back to you with nice fonts. To make you feel richer, we'll make them green. Palantir - we'll build arcane analytics software, put the company in California, hire a bunch of new college grad engineers, many of them immigrants, hire no sales reps, and close giant deals with D.C.-based defense and intelligence agencies! Craigslist - it will be ugly. It will be free. Except for the hookers. iOS - a brand new operating system that doesn't run a single one of the millions of applications that have been developed for Mac OS, Windows, or Linux. Only Apple can build apps for it. It won't have cut and paste. Google - we are building the world's 20th search engine at a time when most of the others have been abandoned as being commoditized money losers. We'll strip out all of the ad-supported news and portal features so you won't be distracted from using the free search stuff. Github - software engineers will pay monthly fees for the rest of their lives in order to create free software out of other free software! PayPal - people will use their insecure AOL and Yahoo email addresses to pay each other real money, backed by a non-bank with a cute name run by 20-somethings. Paperless Post - we are like Evite, except you pay us. All of your friends will know that you are an idiot. Instagram - filters! That's right, we got filters! LinkedIn - how about a professional social network, aimed at busy 30- and 40-somethings. They will use it once every 5 years when they go job searching. Tesla - instead of just building batteries and selling them to Detroit, we are going to build our own cars from scratch plus own the distribution network. During a recession and a cleantech backlash. SpaceX - if NASA can do it, so can we! It ain't rocket science. Firefox - we are going to build a better web browser, even though 90% of the world's computers already have a free one built in. One guy will do most of the work. Twitter - it is like email, SMS, or RSS. Except it does a lot less. It will be used mostly by geeks at first, followed by Britney Spears and Charlie Sheen.

haha - definitely going through a similar stage here. It's not just the orders but the PRECISION required to follow those orders "sit here" ok "no not there here!" - points to a spot which looks exactly where I am repeat x 10 I'm just going along with it as I have every other phase - they all seem to expire after a few weeks
