Exactly PGC. Swadesh I am thinking for the next one.

As I said, we ignore such things.

No. As a matter of standing policy we do not take hygiene ratings into account when deciding where we will eat. Makes life so much easier.

Please feel free to come along Billy Biro. Where would people like to go? Greetings from Turkey by the way.

I feel for him. Jesus Christ suffered in exactly the same way 2000 years ago. Do we never learn?

Its August(which is always quiet) and the veggie option isnt that popular, the Indian Mischief online reviews arent that brilliant. We didnt bother in the end. Supper was a can of tomato soup and a roll. We cant stick to the same day of the week every month as that would exclude people with a set commitment. Anyway - I am thinking 25/9 for the next one. Where shall we go? or do people want to give it a rest for a while?

Sadly, the first CC meet to crash and burn. Floating Onion and I had a few drinks and then headed home.

THIS EVENING!!!!!

Not forgetting the politicians, their main issue seems to be that it is not Waitrose who are moving in.

Tomorrow!!

The answer, as heard by me from DFID staff is that there is a UK Government perception that the aid programme will give us some influence with the Indian Government. DFID also run programmes that are focussed on groups that the Indian Government would not touch e.g sexual health education and support to Indian sex workers. Not a glamorous project, but one that I think is laudable. Of course the Express would have a dickie fit about this, all the more reason to support the cause.

Well, do it. You would be most welcome.

Huzzah!!

Longthorns Farm in Dorset is good. Next door to Monkey World, edge of the New Forest, close to the Dorset coast and so on. Its about 3 hours if you start early and get ahead of the traffic. Smallish camp site with showers and loos. The farm has llamas and chickens to interest kids.

*Like*

Next Monday everybody. Looking forward to those Dhosas ... I suggest The Draft House for about 7.15 and then to Indian Mischief at about 8ish.

Just made a chilli con carne. Now going to watch Lewis. The two items are not related.

So UDT is both Oscar Wilde and Clint Eastwood.

He'll be reading this thread and w@nking himself to oblivion.

LOL!! Because I do not agree with me you abuse me and attempt to belittle me. The next step will be charge me with being a Nazi. You are a bully.

The planning "issues" are for the council to sort out. These are not going to stop the development if M&S and the Coumcil want it to happen. M&S just negotiate, re-submit offer a bit of planning-gain. > > > All else is detail which is largely > > irrelevant to the holistic picture. > > Wrong, people who live near to the development > have a legal right to privacy and quiet enjoyment > of their property. Yes. In the context of where their properties are. People bought houses close to a main road with retail outlets. They have always had traffic, deliveries and some noise to deal with, they alway will have. I bought a flat opposite a wine bar and a fish and chip shop. Guess what, there is some late night noise and an occasional fishy waft, thems just the breaks. We are in a big, over-crowded city - their quiet enjoyment is in the context of the emergency services driving up and down the Lane, sirens howling, police helicopters flying overhead at all hours, revellers on Lordship Lane and busy traffic. The displacement of cars from the Iceland car park is not going to make a big difference. M&S lorries rather than Iceland lorries are not going to make a big difference.

*LOL*
