Another "will we (Arsenal) ever score game" followed by an afternoon hoping Spurs win. Very odd.. But if we win game in hand we are joint top and we are winning games we would have lost or drawn last year, so... I'm relatively happy

Nice one TT - in my current fragile state the front door sounds ambitious but if I recover that sounds like a splendid idea

Like the recent revision on the Clock House food, if this is true it's great news. I liked what Chopsticks were trying to do when they opened so if the food has improved I'll go check it out But do they still default to a knife and fork in a place called "chopsticks"?

caught this one too late to say goodbye - shame. Love that guy

I wouldn't worry dodo1 - that's the default facial setting for Telegraph staff

* welcomes a newbie with good taste * * says hello to "Brenda" and asks if it's the original or the Nouvelle Vague cover? * * brings a cup of Barry's red label tea to Dulwichmum and soothes her brow *

Thanks for the recommendations jura. An excuse to try a whole other nations whiskey... sweeeet

Ken still does free festivals - Rise was in Burgess Park 2 years ago before heading up to Finsbury Park But then the lineup at Clapham is pretty good (for that sort of thing) - Streets, MIA, Go Team, DJ Semtex etc http://www.getloadedinthepark.com/lineup.aspx

35 of your pounds for the Clapham gig Jah I used to live in Ottery for several years MW - you know we targeted out of towners right?

Go Team are playing at the Clapham Common festival on Sunday - great live band

oooh I'll have a listen methinks

According to the staff I spoke to last night, 10pm But not open Monday(s) I think - I will double check that tho

Isn't it amazing how a thread mutates. I was just about to reply to BB's latest post when I realised it would start to make this a thread about films Personally I like the way this happens - usually - but I can see how frustrating it is for some people I would take the conversation to the Film Theatre thread - but amazingly there isn't one (is there?)

And the new series of the IT crowd (starring one female and 3 IT technicians!) starts tonight on C4

BB - I remember the scene - was it near then end tho? It has been a looong time since I saw it

MFG - I've not been but I have yet to hear a single bad word about the shows from any source. Methinks you will have a ball Maceo Parker is indeed playinig with him, fronting the horn section

urban dictionary = banned in many workplaces Although I can understand peolpes reluctance to post the definition directly

I love a back-from-the-dead-food-post To be honest serenity I think most of the criticism came fairly soon after the re-launch (although I did try and let it bed in a bit first) If you say things are on an even keel I'll have to give it another try (to think that back in the spring we spoke of wistful afternoons sat outside the Clock, people-watching - how quaint. But then how were we to know that we would have but 3 weekends where it was sunny enough to try that)

Ooh please tell me it's true he dislikes that Wendy Richards as much as I do???

Jah, you were correct last night - the Spurs game is on at 4.

Neil - I certainly concur on the Omrith front but don't feel too bad for them - they may not have got too many mentions onthis thread but there have been several curry house threads where we Omrith-ites have bigged it up And with the FHT next door it doesn't have to be a trip out of the way for some people just for a meal

Don't, James, you'll start Michael P off! I can only suggest you follow BB's lead and google it

It's not really that obvious if you didn't know he was American so don't sweat it 5 hours to go!

Reading today's G2 I came across this column which I thought appropriate for this thread: G2 Three years ago we were here once again in August when a friend, Lady Victoria Waymouth, an interior designer, was rushed into hospital in the south of France. She died there a few days later, aged 57, of heart failure. As her elder sister was staying with us in Tuscany at the time, we learned of these tragic developments as they unfolded. There would be no reason to recall them now were it not for the fact that they have resulted this summer in the suspension for a year of Victoria's former doctor for "contributing to her death". A tribunal of the General Medical Council ruled that Dr Marisa Viegas had been guilty of "inappropriate", "unprofessional" and "irresponsible" conduct. Victoria's identity was kept secret during the tribunal's proceedings - she was referred to throughout as "Ms A" - but her family is now happy for me to confirm that it was she who had been the gullible victim of her friend the doctor's extreme distrust of conventional medicine. Dr Viegas had ceased to be Victoria's GP when she left London for Jamaica to work on alternative cures, but she continued to give her advice by phone and email. In August 2004, when Victoria fell seriously ill in France, Dr Viegas told her to stop taking the drugs that had been prescribed for her by a distinguished London professor of cardiac medicine. The French hospital gave the cause of her death as "acute heart failure due to treatment discontinuation", and it is heartbreaking to think that Victoria could still be alive if she hadn't had such unquestioning faith in Dr Viegas's judgement. But there is no reason to doubt the doctor's sincerity, and with her dreadful advice she has at least shown us how crazy it is for anyone, even the greatest enthusiast for homeopathy, to undervalue conventional medicine.

I would love to measure the UK's productivity today - anyone doing anything?
