Oops. Rogue "else". I didn't twig

Strada is more likely and a better option. But I have a special place in hell reserved for Prezzo. Rank Bad enough that the former Indian opposite Half Moon in Herne Hill is going to be a Pizza Express (decimating the far superior pizza business in the Half Moon in one go) But people will flock.

if it's a Prezzo I will not be held responsible for my actions....

just watched the final episode - excellent return to form after dodgy 2nd (you can see the meeting can't you? Well, we can't put tHAT one out as teh 1st episode. or the last... stick it in the middle) Anyone else twig it was Moriarty when they first met?

Solyent green Seriously... Steak... And yet 2 pies for a pound? Do the math S

Not being funny eastie, but it's only just after 11pm. Keep your powder dry until 4am yeah?

*Bob* I am in absolutely no doubt at all that you will hate it even more than you do now. Sorry

The Fiver is in splendidly sardonic mode today "It's great to be here. The Fiver thanks you. Your favourite daily tea-time email has been doing its annual Premier League preview for nearly 10 years now, so bear with us while we plaster on a fake smile and plough through this [rude word] one more time. When it's not paraphrasing dead comedian Bill Hicks, the Fiver is generally doing one of two things: being resolutely unfunny, or sitting in a slightly less neon-bright corner of Big Paper office, clutching its knees to its chest, rocking imperceptibly and sobbing in anticipation of a new Premier League season. Another campaign. Another nine months of having to listen to idiots complain about which team of indifferent money-driven foreign mercenaries were assembled for the lowest net spend. Of having to read sports pages that contain more information about leveraged buyouts than football. Of having to feign interest in Sir Alex Ferguson's latest hypocritical tantrum or the Big News that Zat Knight has been ruled out for three months with a mislaid shinpad. Of listening to Andy Gray or Richard Keys say "it doesn't get bigger than this" as the players lined up in the tunnel at St Andrews shout "C'mon boys!" and Sky cut to an ad break just before the kick-off of Birmingham City v Blackburn Rovers. Like the posters on our sportblog who argue over whether Manchester City's sugar daddy is better than Chelsea's sugar daddy, we could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on. But unlike the etc and so on, we won't. But away from all the hoop-la, once the players cross the white line and the football starts, things do occasionally turn interesting. Take tomorrow lunchtime, when Tottenham take on Manchester City in an encounter that hundreds of thousands of people are quite literally calling "a football match". But with a place at the Premier League summit up for grabs for the winners, it's so much more than that. You wait until MOTD2 the Fiver knows those wags among the support of both teams are getting hilarious top-of-the-table-after-one-game T-shirts printed at their local branch of Snappy Snap as we speak. Elsewhere, title hopefuls Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United will be favourites to prevail in matches against teams such as West Brom, Liverpool and Newcastle, a couple of whom may get a result so that delusional Premier League cheerleaders can claim the competition isn't as predictable as everyone says. Meanwhile Blackpool will attempt to get their inevitable relegation campaign off to a flyer by losing heavily against Wigan. "When we go there I can assure you I'm going to make it as tough for them as I can and I'm going to try to attack them because that is what I believe in," said Blackpool boss Ian Holloway, a manager who is funny, enjoys his football and insists his teams play it the right way, but will resemble a dead-eyed, burnt-out husk by December, when the bloated out-of-control behemoth that is the Best League In The World and its lapdog Sky have had their wicked way. "

oh carnell you cross-poster you

Still no mention of the Jerk cook-off in Brockwell park Sunday?? Tcha - that's where I'll be (rain permitting) And even if it's raining I shall send a minion to gather a selection of meats to be brought back Excellent call-back. Me laughed. Out Loud

Animal lives and consciousness is an interesting topic but I?m not sure it?s relevant to this particular thread ? we ain?t in Kan? the Lounge anymore As for the OP?s question ?Can one retain, and continue to enjoy, the fine feeling(s) that accompany a first love, early professional success, marriage, parenthood, a physical or mental obstacle overcome (mountain climbed, book published, first music gig and so on).? I would say almost certainly not in some of those cases and if you had told me that when I was young, and had I believed you, I would be filled with despair. But as I get older I feel better able to fill my life and time ? if I hit my 70?s and am reasonably mobile and with mental faculties in decent shape I?m pretty confident I?ll be living life as fully as I can. Albeit it all too aware there won?t be much of it left maybe..

ted Max - gentle satire Dave R - pet peeve with added chip on shoulder

You are saying "it" again Ridgeley, I'm just not sure what "it" is Excatly which prices for what things are rocketing because we live in ED? I'm glad you know where to shop but not sure what your point is. I tried giving an example in my previous post but you haven't answered it so...

yes oh maybe not. Are you saying The Same Things are cheaper elsewhere? Or that Things for Sale are cheaper at other markets? If I pie a pie off the pie lady on NCR, am I paying more than someone selling The SAME pie at Camden, or are we comparing it to a Ginsters?

quids, daizie... daizie, quids

And that just ain't true either ..

exactly right Mr Carnell, I've never understood the cries either You can add to that list what was the Uplands, soon to be The Actress, is aiming high on the pizza front as well

That?s what I thought initially too Jeremy but I think MM is pointing more towards ?a full life? ? as in well rounded and balanced with active periods and down times but pretty much constantly engaged with the world and enjoying your time on it. Rather than, say, extreme sporting 18 hours a day! What constitutes the different factors will differ over the 80-odd years I guess? but it is important to not let it drift by

If you mean Seinfeld then yes, but a not especially good one HOWEVER, the sitcom based around that premise is an all time great Also worth checking out is a documentary about his attempt at getting back into stand-up after years out of the game (in a parallel story with a fairly obnoxious new guy) , called... Comedian

yep, many people in same boat as you Panda existing thread here

rather TOO much of Sean holding a baby if you ask me cheers for uploading mazza

Took a while for that one to take, but when it did, it took hold big time
