will definitely try and make it up in the next week or two PR

Ideatori Moving MUST be playing on your mind if you are posting on here at 4:36 am ;-) As you've probably gathered from visiting the area and the forum, you will love it here. What sort of "things to do" are you usually interested in? As CitizenEd points out the green spaces are a great asset, but eating out and bar-hopping are also well catered for (check out the monthly forum meet-ups for evidence of the slippery slope that can be however) Horniman Museum and Dulwich Gallery are also enjoyable visits Let us know where you end up and how it goes best of luck

clare I know EXACTLY how you feel - doesn't happen often enough but when it does...

Nice one Jah But as the gorgeous barmaid said to me in a bar in San Francisco when I put it on the jukebox, you can't get much for $26 dollars these days ;-)

If it was a Saturday when you went down snorky I may have been 3 or 4 people back from you.... ir someone in exact same situation anyway

indeed Brendan indeed but then when people say "oooh but it get's me 200 saverpoints at teh supermarket" like that's a GOOD thing it seems inevitable eventually (unless cock-ups like this keep happening. Hey, maybe the whole 2cd-loss was an inside job by a revolutionista?)

Frisco: That does come across as very snooty and doesn't sound like you at all...

fixed that for you nutty

Yes well done to Spain - although a part of me was hoping the little guy (Norn Iron) would have a miracle bestowed on them Of the "home nations", only they and Scotland can hold their heads up For the tournament next summer I shall be finding out which are the proper Spanish and French bars etc and go and support their teams with their supporters

New Labour I presume you mean CWALD?? If you were around in the formative years of the Labour party you look damn fine for your age!

I've heard a lot of debate about the game on radio and many people have made good points - but many others have been just daft A recurring theme is "we are English, we should be playing 4-4-2, not any of this fancy stuff" The whole point about the Beckhams, Gerrards, Lampards et al playing so well in their leagues is that they DO play the fancy stuff and raise their game with a proper coach and skilled (probbaly foreign) teammates - ie foreign players BENIFT English players Left to their own devices what do we get - hoof the ball 40 yards to the big man. Repeat ad nauseaum? And if those big players can't raise their game (and they definitely can't) then the next step down are even worse. Wayne Bridge?? I ask you... There was a moment in the match when the England fans were booing the Croation team who were passing the ball around the back in their own half - and that summed it up for me. Booing a team who keep posession whilst looking for a play instead of lumping it up the field. England won't come within sniffing distance of a trophy with that attitude...

I have to echo the sentiments here - especially MrBen's about the players. McClaren never was the man for the job and he made some bad choices for last night's game but even then these players should be miles better They showed some of that in the second half and then resorted to being shite Besides all that, it shouldn't be about last night's game -the whole qualification was dreadful. No goals against Macedonia? You don't need a manager to do better than that. And to listen to all the dreadfully inane interviews before every game: "yeah the lads and me know we've been let fans down in the last few games but we're really up for this one" etc etc Show us then!

clare Alan Dale is probably best suited to informing on my reading habits (he knows where and when I read the Guardian and where I leave/keep it as well according to his posts ) but yes Private Eye is on my list of periodicals...

excellent news monica. Michael is right it's big pub. Should be a grand evening

My favourite bit of commentary came about 10 mins from the end Motson: "Mark... say something" 5 second pause Lawrenson: "I.. can't" Cue further silence

A lot of people on here lately saying Foxton's have been no good at selling their flat at 0% and advising they choose an established local agent And yet a lot of people before Foxton's opened predicted as much - so, WHY did people go with Foxton's?

these new weekly mags are much worse than Loaded in it's day - pick one up and have a look

heh heh - well mightyroar, you have a point but when you look at some of "us boys" and the rest of the stuff we contribute, it surely amounts to more than any Nutz offering. The vulgarity accounts for a mere, what, .0004% ;-) I doubt there is a Nutz reader amongst us...

come on guys - group hug

I would have thought England will comfortably get a result tonight. Croatia won't be playing with the handbrake off and the sense of needing a result should mean England's players will be up for it (as opposed to SAYING they are up for it which is what they usually do)

* coughs quietly * Should that be "one fewer" thing to worry about?

This thread has got legs hasn't it? Anyone know the outcome of the printout of the thread being discussed by the butchers themselves? Any of them going to log on ?

Absolutely agree BM - it was a rhetorical question really. But while we could blame companies/economics/politicians they are all only obeying the demands of the consumer/electorate (there was a LOT more I wrote here but deleted for fear of reprisals. It was great tho' ;-) )

Mockney - did you copy and paste some text from somewhere else into the post and miss some?

Ooh Keef you took the steam out of my next post! - That's what I was going to say - and spot on.... Of course it isn't the flag that CAUSES these things but it has become an umbrella for people with a less that outward-looking view of the world. Nor is England alone of course. Many countries are blighted by the same disease. But everywhere it exists, these people gather around their flag....
