I'm pretty sure I saw Ride support the Fatima Mansions at the Charing X Rd incarnation of The Marquee in 1990/92 ish Fantastic night that was..

that's excellent wee quinnie! >:D< big smile near the end of the working day

Ms Macgabhann? I can't check the pics at work but I don't remember one of Ms Macgabhann with Citizen - esp a tall looking version

Looks like I'll be first to disappear then, should Ted decide to stalk and eliminate us - enough people have, in the pictorial sense, fingered me from the latest photos. Time to leave town methinks...

I can say that my card gets left behind all the bars in ED, and used in most shops - never had a problem (to date and touch wood) The one place I can definitely say it is NOT used is..... a petrol station.

Jah Lush will protect you EdOldie ;-)

And no matter how often that happens, every single time I think "Work have twigged...."

If I'm going to kick him when he deserves it, I have to doff my cap from time to time too Raising minimum wage for staff

Don't give them to Piers - he kills them. And enjoys it ;-) Strawbs - for all your chili desires http://www.chillipepperpete.com/ I can recommend the variety pack as a good starter for some of the more exotic chilis

liked that TT Good post by indiepanda btw - and not the first either I've chatted with Keef on this subject before and feel similarly - but many of the parents from the forum have definitely given me hope (as it were)

As one of the resident Paddies I am letting this one slide.. ;-) As for that Telegraph story.... I'm tempted to agree with the accusation - children aren't born liking or disliking spicy food as a race.. that's learned behaviour As for jrussel and his trees - spotted thatagenda from the original post and am just waiting for him/her to come clean

errr.. that's Ms Olivia to you an me... * sigh *

Nah. Louisa often takes weeks off at a time. . She will be back i reckon

TW@ would have been better - but potentially litigious as it's © Rockstar

And bless you for same Sir Keef :)-D I don't count people who disagree as "baddies" tho - well, not always. Clive 3300 is a clearly knowledgeable bloke (to pick one example - there are plenty others!) and sometimes I agree and often I don't - but I'm just disagreeing with him. And if he disagrees with me as much, he may well be casting me in the role of "baddy". Just because I have to post excessively to even try and catch up with you ;-) doesn't mean I'm staking any more of a flag in the "I'm right and thats it" camp than the people I disagree with. I do try and back up my arguments tho When I go ape with the likes of Spangles or ???? in the past, that's a bit different. ???? respected me more in the morning for eaxmple ;-) Err - I've overdone the self-justification thing there I think - but gotta dash

Glad that post on the bus was toned down a bit Keef, but never skip a load. It's bad for the metabolism. Or something Taking a punt that I'm one of the patronising people, can I disagree? Both on the patronising label and the lit & deb accusation? Growing up in Ireland (yep, i know I overuse that but it is pertinent) I both knew and was related to enough people who bore more than a passing resemblence to the documentary. Too many kids, major alcohol issues, and chronic state-dependance. I knew enough about where I wanted to be to keep my distance (and was accused of snobbery even then - oh the irony) and yet if anyone else (people outside the family, or a documentary crew for example) had a pop I would come to their defence. Family innit So if people want to be outraged at the guy in the doocumentary, go ahead. But it's not an academic excercise, or patronising to point out a wider perspective

Cars and jobs can be changed/abandon tho' can't they? It's the permanence of children that's the scariest (and I'm sure, most rewarding) bit

I was convinced the one next to Blue Mount was opening "imminently" for about 2 years - then I just forgot about it Karter (where be he/she?) dangled a very big name chain moving to NCR - but that obviously never happened. It must be safe to name names now surely?

I'm always reluctant to name names on this thread, as the list could go on and one runs the risk of forgetting someone But *Bob*'s current form can not go unrecorded. The man's on fire. Help from his kazoo or not...

Lozzyloz - you can have an inkling but when the world in general is encouraging you to take the plunge, and/or if your partner is overly optimistic it can be easy to be swept along. Or impossible to say no Hypothetically speaking

"What's that comin over the hill?, it's a Lounge, it's a Lounge..." ;-)

John, not this week, but thereafter I should be able to do some time at the weekends - I'll keep you posted Anyone else thinking about it should really give it a go - it's a great space and good fun to be had

benjaminty - I would liken your arrival at a drinks to that of Jah's - someone we had come to know but never met, and glad to finally see

I'm finding the summer transfer speculation more and more frustrating. Finding anything based on reality is like that bit at the end of the Crystal Maze where they had to grab hold of gold pieces of paper and not the other kind - or something. The same names, and posturing by clubs' spokesperson, and denials which turn out to be the opposite - blah blah blah. A pox on all their houses You finished 2nd, 5th, just above relegation - whatever - next season roll your sleeves up and improve the lot of the club who's badge you have been kissing everytime you scored last year - that's all I ask
