Geez you are right. Someone should have started a thread about this hours ago!!! Oh wait....

But this guy was no longer in the house and the "spur of the moment" defence involved the sudden appearance of a car full of people. This is a long way from hitting an intruder with a golf club in the living room

Well, quite - but that wasn't the original question. The vast majority of people travelling back from town can walk without problem I would have hoped the infirm and or pregnant took heed of the weather warnings and acted accordingly (work permitting) But yes if you are infirm or pregnant and struggling to get home you are banjaxed

from the city or west end? Walk it

Did I miss something - who has said extra taxes are to be imposed on those earning 70k? (although I wouldnt necessarily be against a point or two) Who said footballers should be exempt? [quote=Large earners are already taxed more heavily than lower earners - losing as much as 60p in the pound to the government.] Indeed. But the luxury of being a large earner is that 40% of (say 500k) still leaves a lot of moolah - a hell of a lot more than the average Joe (private OR public quids!) who has subsidised the bailouts and will take the brunt of the upcoming cuts. So if average Joe can take a real, life-changing, genuine hit, so a high earner can take a cut in a bonus, in my book I'm not advocating a return to 80-90% tax but I would like the idea of raising tax to be possible without people crying about leaving the country all the time. Basic humility and connection to other people would stop me complaining about a bonus getting taxed considering what people on far less are about to get hit with. I wouldn't see it as punishment or a curtailment of freedom - I would still think I am one of the lucky few with a good job, a bonus and largely impervious to the cold wind blowing Does no-one ever consider themselves spoilt anymore? I suppose they never did, hence the term spoilt

for future reference - Cave of Spirits on Bellenden Rd just before Maxted Rd

Subset of people I don't know and have no great opinion either way about but i wouldn't mind meeting in the pub: JBARBER Subset of people I hope never to meet under any circumstance: "Steady" Eddy

I hear you - and I agree that a place like that would do really well on the lane. But compared to where we were 3 years ago, the selection of Italians has improved beyond all hope If Chopsticks became a SOUTH Indian restaurant tho, that would be sufficiently different from all of the Anglo Banglo places currently in place and I wouldn't mind. If it became a really good chinese I would be even happier. Or the long mooted Vietnamese for that matter I popped in today to look at the pop up and didn't realise just how nice the garden out the back is

Well yes that was my point. I was just trying to suggest it rather than coming out and saying it!

So il mirto on Melbourne grove, si mangia near the co op, smerelda on nunhead lane and locale are all too far away? If it's not on the lane it don't count??

Oh don't worry. There is nothing offensive about it

3 x women like it 1 x blokes don't Bloke is correct.

I tried the veal - wasn't all that

I think thy could be needless effort pr. Where are you copying the CDs to in the pc?

I know - it really hacks me off when Nisha is only in the shop for 2 hours a day and spends the rest of the time driving around SE22 in her open top convertable. Minted she is...

Well, when you say "what next?" it suggests it's new when it isn't

Methodical approach required Which is your itunes home folder? is this the same folder where you ripped your cds to?

AC Milan v MAN UTD Porto v ARSENAL Lyon v Real Madrid CSKA Moscow v Sevilla Bayern Munich v Fiorentina Inter Milan v CHELSEA Olympiakos v Bordeaux Stuttgart v Barcelona Some interesting things going on there - Jose v Chelsea, Beckham v Man U

I wonder if the noise some people complain about IN ED isn't air traffic, but a different kind of whooshing sound

yes, it's THAT complex a prank ....

I'm so with *Bob* on this one

Is Holland that devoid of fun that you have to troll forums in South East London?

Except, unlike irish people, the stereotype about Americans isn't perpetuated by the occupying nation If people started a thread highlighting some very stupid things that happened in Irish shops or whatever in 2010 I would probably nod and go "yep". that said there can be a reflex anti-americanism attitude everywhere, which does grate.

laptops aren't goods like sofa's. You can wait for the sales if you like but the specs will have moved on by January and you'll be eyeing the next sale. Ad infinitum From what you say you want you should be able to pick up any old cheap laptop and it will do the job. But people have a habit of starting to use these things for more than they think

in some (more than you would think) cases they are worse Timster In a few cases they are better but very few I expect the PS3 to have a fantastic 2010 after the redesign and price cuts and agree largely with what Piers says. But I'm standing by my statement that it would be 360 if I was buying tomorrow some techy comparisons from a regular face off article here
