Really? You really sure???? I live up that end just off Whatley Road, one block from LL. Parking is rarely an issue during the week ever- and really it's only Saturday that it's 'difficult' - which a school won't effect. I just don't see the 'parking' issue as an issue at all. I think the cinema will have more of an effect in the evening but I'd rather the cinema there too.

*Waves at Spurs down below*

Tottenham Hotspur lol......lucky they picked up a very lucky 3 points off us or they'd be right in the relegation mix. I'd also like to thank Arsenal very much for loaning us a gem and the supreme Song.

Anyway I'm off home via the offy with 4 cans of 4.8% for ?4.28...... ...used to be ?5 for 6 (5.2%s an all) at Bossman before it got poncey

"Glasto" above some middle class p1ss taking in some eyes :)

Top Tory Strategist dying in the toilets at Glastonbury summed up Glasto's middle-class 'cred' to me

Infact, here are a few more.... http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/archive-manchester-united-west-ham---727016

....oh and where was Fergie's quote on 'the Obscene level of commitment from a relegated side' that stopped HIM winning the title, how very dare they? That's the West Ham way.... *blows kiss at Kenny Brown*

5.2 was King - new one is crap.

BFS has been told to change his ways by West Ham's board because of the threat of 1000s of West Ham fans not paying nearly a ?1000 quid a season to watch dog sh1t football. West Ham's change in style, transfer business and current success is mainly becuase of all the 'moaning' fans. Smug millionairre pundits who get everything in football for free haven't a fooking clue.....Robbie Savage never has but the rest are absolutely clueless on this too.

This week dragged past me so slowly The days fell on thie knees http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6g34goy0mos

I'd keep everything whereas my missus is like Attilla the Hun, she's right. The quidlets seem to embrace the less is more philosophy by playing more with the toys that are left rather than being overwhelmed by choice (and junk)

Lovely - nostagically tinged with the optimistic Brave New World municipal socialism of the 1960s, hindsight shows us what happened to some of that utopia Or wot Tillie Said :)

...they're still Foooking thinking

Added to which - music, with a few exceptios, most genres nowadys are so deriviative plus even the youths themselves largely seem in awe of the older stuff....at the heart of this article as an EG "No beatles, stones in 1977" or whatever the Clash sang( someone pull out the actual lyric).....howeever false that position was, it was a position. My headmaster had fought in Italy and was pertrified of Punk, I can have long conversations about the Damned with my 18 year old nephew! PS I have abeard Rah, which is sort of the point...

Are you a coffee fan Rah?

I'm famous for my Stella Artois consumption at home. Outside, where I pay a premium, I'd rather drink something better, and normally cheaper too. I spent twenty years largely scoffing 'premuium' lagers in pubs at a way above doctors guideline volumes, the massive, and crucially widespread, improvement in the availibility of well kept ales in pubs over the last 5 years or so and some interesting craft beer (yes including lagers)plus the fact I don't go on pub benders anymore has put me back on what's a much nicer tasting product.

"The latest is, of course, the lambasted "hipster", which isn't a style tribe at all but simply a catch-all moniker for a generation of bearded men who like coffee and are happy to follow, and not buck, trends. Sheep is a far superior appellation" What's not to love?

..back on Topic, I dropped my kids at school this AM (not a chance if I commuted) as I walked towards Lordship Lane the sun was gleaming off the Shard and the Gherkin. I almost bust into 'Maybe it's because I am a Londoner". Can't see us moving out after some bruief flirtations and a year out abroad.

*wrong thread

all mass market ones crap, only their strenght gives them any flavour so Stella purely because it's strong enough to have some flavour but not a Special Brew. Learn to drink proper beer mick

..interesting article by Chris Sullivan, ex-soul boy and founder of the Wag http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/features/northern-soul-where-have-all-the-style-tribes-gone-9807056.html The tribalism of the past was sometimes horrible but it also had a dynamism, energy and creativity that I miss in the days of non-conformity conformity - discuss

And a cracker....according to bbc

Although in 99% of cases it'll be alright - Mad not too - IMO. just insurance against the horror stories of those that tried to do it on the cheap. Plus does tend to show things that you should also think about getting on with first in terms of maintenance and keeping an eye on too (ie it has some other value too) and can be used to reduce price if something needs doing.
