TLS - don't hold your breath, if you're white, british and working class you're scum....and will be accused of racism for raising the point

Er, everyone was widely predicting a 0.5% cut...the only shock was that it was done today rather than at the MPC meeting tomorrow and that it was part of a wider international cut...it will make bugger all difference, it should have been 1% (and that probably wouldn't have worked but would have looked like a proper gesture rather than a bunch of politicians tinkering)

Anyone beginning to believe me yet?

*they're.....for the benefit of the Grammar Police

Buses are shite at the moment - this must be the time of year when the least people are on holiday, all the fairweather cyclists give up, so there all packed and there are pain in the arse roadworks at LL and on the home leg bit at Elephant...I'm almost tempted to buy an extra car and start driving in (which would also annoy Sean).>:D

No way I'd bring my kids up in a stable.. *tish, tish, BOOM

Personally I'm finding Spurs' predicament absolutely hysterical ....is everyone on here so 'nice' that they don't find it highly amusing?

"..'s mad at me"........more madness

aware of a split infinitive in my original post before the grammar police step in on my literary aspirations:-$

PGC - I know but there's loads on there for all tastes, I'm looking for some aggreagation (the same goes for a bookshop too Asset...plus there's no decent one near my work) all suggestions welcome, and a couple to work on already. thanks.

The mural and now this...

....I used to read loads, but kids and the internet have really got me out of somethig I used to love. I still do read a reasonable amount of non-fiction, largely history but also the more interesting end of business type things (Freakenomics, Wikinomics, the Long Tail etc) but I haven't read a decent novel in ages...anyone got anything they can recommend to get me back on this? I'm looking for something contemporary and I like a bit of a challenge...ie not too lite. Any ideas before an approaching holiday? Thanks in advance Quids

The cafe in Dulwich park serves beer, which gives it the edge in my book.....

To return to an earlier point - books look great and so does vinyl...but CDs? Give me a break...all mine are in the loft replaced by my 8GB Ipod plugged into my Stereo

er....like what and who? Without wishing to start this all off again...."It always strikes me what a noble life the childless are having"......er...didthe irony come over?

I'd quite like a quiet drink with my kids sometimes without braying idiots in rugby shirts or idiotically dressed teenagers in skinny jeans talking opiononated shite in mockney accents but sadly both these tribes invade my quiet family drinks.... ...back to the thread. I wasn't aware that this thread was aimed at creating a debate...maybe the childless are the 'protest too much' people who piled in? Anyway, people with kids have also been childless in their lives so can commnent on the other side with more authority than those without I'd suggest.. Shit I miss loads about my childless life...absolutely loads....and the immense sense of responsibility can be overbearing at times..plus the sleeplessness, worry, financial pressure, planning, etc, etc... would I go back? Nahhh

Tottenham fans being anti-semetic, how bloody typical! *scratches head and wonders if poeple aren't being a bit too deconstructive about a deeply unpleasant song which is, if guilty of any non-PC crime, is midley homophobic?

I thought Bruce Springsteen wasn't "Gonna play Sun City"? ...although I agree Jerry Dammers had little effect in "freeing Nelson Mandelaaaaaaaaa"

THE HELL HE 'AINT

I think that themed bars have a useful role...they keep all the w*nkers out of the decent pubs

if you support the Irons, yes

Liddle supports the scum

You could look after my kids so me and the missus can go on the sauce if you're feeling charitable
