With it being the Olympics, I trust you're not using any banned stimulants to stay awake steveo...

What numbers said re. South Downs and the New Forest is very nice too...

The one I remember form Viz late 80's went something along the lines of... Don't waste ????'s on expensive carpets for your home, just tape a couple of free samples of the most expensive carpet to the bottom of your feet

Make that 3. One of my older brothers traced our Dad's side of the family tree back to the Hugenots. At the time he told me I was working in Spitalfields...it felt like 'my manor' :)

Welocme back Quids, have you seen the table? Just like the old days... :)

It's Friday and the sun is shining again, keep the bass bins on 11...

*Wakes up, rubs nose, looks across at ????, poor bloke, last time he looked that bad was at Reading '77. Decides to write a note...* Dear ???? At the time of writing you've been asleep now for over 2 years. When you eventually wake up, you'd better know there's some good news and bad news. The good news is that West Ham sacked Big Fat Sam. The bad news is he's England's manager...can't win 'em all eh! Oh, and we're not in Europe anymore, but being a West Ham fan you'll be used to that by now. Yours, Red...

Is there anybody therrrrrrre?... WoooooooOOOOoooOOOoWwwwooooooOOOOOOOOO... *Legs it...*

I'm not sure initial quotes will be the most expensive options. Loft companies tend to quote on a generic design, which includes a set number of light switches, lighting/power points etc. And then there's usually their generic finishes, wall tiles, floor finishes (if provided), paint finishes etc. They maximise their profits by churning out identikit layouts and specs, so if you want anything away from the norm it will be an extra. As Loz points out, get the design right first, this will dictate the final cost. Ensure you're happy with their finishes, e.g. are they allowing for a tiled finish to the bathroom, if so, what do the tiles look like. Will it be fully/half tiled, or just splashbacks. If you want to save some money you can ask them just to provide a 'shell' finish, get your own tiler in, and ask them to finish the ceilings in standard matt emulsion, but leave a mist coat finish on the walls for you to finish off. All in all, just prepare yourself that the quote won't be the finished price...

Compared to now, I think it actually was, certainly in terms of music and fashion. How long has this Hipster thing been dragging on for? Seems like forever. People are still sporting beards and skinny jeans, don't they realise that once footballers and estate agents cotton on it's time to change? Back then it would've been a couple of summers at most...

We've sort of got one already with the Champions League. That format works, whereas as Quids says, can't see a permanent league working because of fans/traditional rivalries/travel etc...

Listening with mates to the Top 30 countdown at school crowded around the tranny radio, religiously every Tuesday @ 12-45pm straight after Newsbeat, top 5 singles played in reverse order. Oh the joy when a favourite band made it to number one...

I thought it was the big European clubs alone that were agitating for it because of the PL's financial muscle, which sort of makes sense. The bottom club in the PL will receive more money than Bayern Munich will for winning the Bundesliga. Utd have usurped Madrid by signing Pogba, a sign of things to come whereby PL clubs can now go out and get the best players...

This reminds me of my Mum insisting that I wore on holiday a beige 'safari' jacket she bought from M&S, try as I might to convince her that Bournemouth wasn't quite the Serengeti. It wasn't a good look for a burgeoning punk rocker, and no amount of safety pins could redeem the 6'' lapels, patch pockets and buckles. I've noticed modern day films/programmes set in the 70's like Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy and Made in Dagenham have deliberately toned down colour to give that look of a drab, sepia coloured world...

I also noticed for the first time in my catfest garden that a Wren was building a nest, but I was puzzled why it would only do so in short bursts and then disappear for a day or two. Sadly 'my' nest wasn't chosen, women can be so fickle ;-)...
