I am driving northward this evening. Was planning to pop in to Hoopers on the way, but the weather is shite, so I am going to make a move now. Have fun all!!

Dulwichmum may have potential, but as she reaches free-bus pass age tomorrow; she is no Britney.

What Woofie said. We need to run down the corridors, just to keep the Prefects alert.

PeckhamRose could you just post your article? I am sure it would be of interest to folk ...

How many times has this been discussed? Alot. Clearly there are groups of friends within this community and subsets of those groups. That these relationships can be seen through discussions on the Forum is not a huge surprise or indeed problematic. That there is a group of people who are central to the technical functioning of the Forum and that they are friends is not a surprise or problem, surely? That they may have an insight into the backroom workings of the Forum is not a surprise or a problem, surely? With that insight and involvement comes an air of authority. They havent sought that authority, but have it by dint of having knowledge. Knowledge is power. Even when not sought. This is a function of having a community based, community run, free for use, internet Forum. Some people have to run it and they will have more knowledge than the majority. This doent automatically make them a clique. They are part of their community and are answerable to the community through the debates that can be found here. However if knowledge gives power, then power requires humility and self-awareness for it to be used effectively. It may be worth reflecting on whether there is a tendency for such friends to leap to the defence of, or in support of each other and their wider group of friends, without reflecting on the impact that this behaviour has on others. They may have to self-edit or even self-censor. It may be that the freedom of speech that they allow to others is self-denied to them. This is one of the burdens of authority and power. The alternative is to have the group who manage, facilitate, mediate and police the community as a separate entity, not part of the community, but apart and separate from the community.

From ED - under the bridge outside the station, turn right onto Quorn Road, follow to end, turn right and follow road round round to the left onto Ivanhoe Road. Hoopers is about 200 metres along at the junction of Malfort Road and Ivanhoe Road.

In so many ways ..

I call knife crime and fatal fires in tower blocks shocking. Bumpy roads are inconvenient.

If we are very luck Brum will wear his Pompier's Ruff and Jodhpurs.

I used the Lonely Planet guide especially when it came to finding excellent but reasonably priced restaurants. They are often slightly back-street but worth the 5 minute wander. The sights, well, a long weekend will let you do the main sites. This time of year you should be able to get into the Sistine Chapel, but you will need to get in the queue early - but its worth it.

Spearmint Rhino?

Well, at least somebody is trying to find a solution to the problem. "Shocking" road surfaces? No. A bit lumpy at times, but not shocking. There are many other things that should be classed as "shocking", not our roads. Honestly.

My heart sank when I saw it this evening. Feck me, not another one.

Did you get a gobble?

I like the little stalls on North Cross Road - the pie lady, the welsh cheese stall who also do fine welsh cakes. Kebab and Wine do a grand Doner Wrap at 2am. Which goes down well. Lets not be snobbish.

Indeed Lady Bagpuss was a stalwart but has been a tad busy of late. Happy Birthday Ma'am. XX

25th it is then. Now, where shall we go? I dib for Tandoori Nights. I know we went there a few months ago, but I couldnt make it. Please feel free to disagree.
