They are currently to be found sitting on the back seat of the number 12 bus.

No cellar, ergo - got nuffink' Wise words from the Bobfather.

Paris Texas with the great Ry Cooder (I think) guitar riff echoing in and out.

Congolese number 12?

Bob - why do you keep a long piece of string in your cellar? Is it being aged?

Thanks Guys, no problem. If anybody else who has expressed an interest knows that they cant come, can you let me know so that I can let the Restaurant know? A table for 12 is a big thing for them to hold open for us. All the best.

Ibo - The difference being that those exaling the virtues of ED are giving their opinion on a subjective issue - do they or do they not like ED? People generally give examples of what they like e.g. North Cross Road market, Green and Blue, The Mirash. You made a statement of fact re muggings in ED. So far the only evidence that you know of 3 muggings in the past 12 months. VERY traumatic for those involved and all such assaults should be treated seriously; but to define an area by these occurences is not credible.

Which is ..... ?

Yes Ibo for once give us some hard facts instead of received wisdom. How many muggings, how many as a percentage of the population, rate of increase in muggings? Muggings have happened and will happen, they happen all over London and everywhere. How is ED a muggers paradise?

Atila the Gooner - You are the Man! I went to the "Six of the Best" Genesis/Peter Gabriel reunion in about 81 at Milton Keynes Bowl - Gabriel only agreed to it to raise money to bail out the then very new WOMAD - the gig that is, not my attendance . It rained all day, from when I got on the train in Brighton, throughout the gig andit was still raining when I got back to Brighton. The bottoms of my frayed jeans were dyed pink from the Milton Keynes mud and stayed that way throughout their lifetime.

Old Nicks Game with Andy Hamilton as the Devil is very funny. I started to listen to Radio 4 when I was at college and the Falklands War started - it was the best way of getting the news. I sort of fell in love with the late Brian Redhead on Today and then never looked back. Other than 5Live, Does anybody know if there is a digital 24 hour Radio news and current affairs programme?

Thought for the Day normally provides a view that is somewhat different from my own - but such is the nature of the BBC. This morning, Lionel Blue's musings on what the lonely could do at Christmas were amusing, although his joke was awful, as usual.

My radios are only tuned to Radio4. Today wakes me up. Just a Minute and I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue. Ed Reardon is a true star.

*But which one is you and which one is Ana?*

*A simple vaccum cleaner based prank gone a little wrong DM. Can happen to us all*

Tsk. That global warming. Its a poser and there's no mistakin'.

*Will it sooth my posterior DulwichMum?*

I have booked a table for 12 at Tandoori Nights @ 8pm on Thursday 29/11, the table is booked in the name of "Mike" I suggest that we meet between 7 and 7.30 in the EDT. Cheers

I went to see OMD at Benidorm Bull-Ring at somepoint in the early 80s' a bit surreal.

*Leave me alone, as you know - I am a sick man* *Actually, hang on - sore bum, lots of pineapple impregnated with explosive glycerine - is it surprising that I am experienced explosions at both ends?* *You rat-bag DM, you have poisoned me, blown me up, turned me into a variety of legumes and in the past castrated me and slaughtered my lactating donkey. I only hope the lovely lady and her boy-friend who wish to move to the area do not read this* *Good job Batdog took the full force of the explosions. Please have him back, no honestly .... I insist*

Oh - thats who he is! Always wondered.

Just "Concerned". If you want to be a credible politician you have be able to do "Concerned" at the drop of a hat.
