  1. True, throwing allegations of drug selling and taking is unadvisable, but we all want a quiet life. If someone's continually flouting a law, then I can understand why the offendee is getting cheesed off. Sure, noise will happen, but if there is a law that's designed to minimise it and it's broken, then a reasonable person would understand the complainer's annoyance. Nero
  2. KK, Why not go and speak to the people at ESPH? They're very approachable and professional. You might even want to join, which I recommend! Nero
  3. It depends on who gets the nomination for the Democrats. I want Hillary to win. She's got experience and I trust her. I don't trust Barack Obama, because he's never had to prove himself and he is simply too green to be a world leader. His MLK/JFK schtick is annoying, too. Hillary just is, and she knows she's reviled by some people, but I don't think she lets it get to her. Nero
  4. I don't think anywhere in the UK has Sunday collections nowadays. Nero
  5. So, is it the wind that affects the planes or do they have a rota so that other areas get their fare share? Nero
  6. Isn't it worse in Clapham because it's on the final approach, whereas in E Dulwich the planes are on just one of the final approaches? Nero
  7. Wear one in the back seat of a car, too. It could save your life, or prevent serious injury. I can see the civil liberties objections, but I value my limbs and internal organs, so I wear clunk-click every trip. Nero
  8. The 666 on the way back after 9pm is OK. On the way into work it's poor. 63 is the way to go. Aldwych bus stop is underpopulated queue-wise, but the one at Somerset House gets busy with nary a civilised line to be had. Nero
  9. Fun and addictive site
  10. Look forward to a steamroom, but only if it doesn't heat up the rest of the building, such as the changing rooms. I prefer the gym to be on the cool side - you don't need a warm gym, shower room etc if you're sweating! Nero
  11. C'est n'est pas un bebe! Alternatively known as 'Combien?!'Nero
  12. Caroline, take a walk(er).
  13. Could be dodgy, but I understand why he wanted to take it from the upstairs window. It'd look nicer than a plain shot from the front. I'd have phoned his editor. Any journo who was asked that would not have taken exception, if s/he were genuine. Nero
  14. Just say excuse me, please a second before you get up to leave. All that shuffling about and making ready is a waste of energy and makes for social awkwardness.
  15. That parade of shops is on teh whole uninspiring and tacky. Lots of sprayed graffiti and the wiiiiiiide open pavement makes it feel like Ponderosa. Nero
  16. The Irish Shop Any of the betting shops Any of the funeral parlours That blue tiled caff The Castle St Thomas More hall White Stuff The police station The amusement arcade Foxton's Le Moulin and various others.
  17. Also, which idiot decided to put a bus stand (not stop, as you can't get on or get off there) on the bus route just after the Red Cap? Now the 68s stop there, holding up the rest of the traffic for the drivers to change. Nero
  18. The 176 is more of a demonic number than 666 in my opinion. I now take the 63 to Blackfriar's Bridge and then wakl to Aldwych. Where does it go now if not Waterloo? Nero
  19. 10pm is fair enough. It's a reasonable watershed, even if the neighbours are stroppy. Nero
  20. Right now they're getting in a lot classics and modern classics in Penguin. Dickens, Hemingway, Baldwin, Austen, Hardy etc. Nero
  21. Blinder999, How do you do that? It's great. Nero
  22. Gosh! I am usually the one to pick up on cliquey vibes, but I never felt out of place in the Drum, even though it is small and I was usually on my own there. Great sarnies, nice beer, good service and a nice, hybrid feeling. Perhaps I never went in enough to pick up on the negative aspects that others have noted. Nero
  23. Take ear plugs, preferably the wax kind as it is noisy in NYC. I couldn't sleep without them the last time I was there. Nero
