You gotta be kidding RD... at a time when video calls are commonplace, this is old hat. Voice-over-IP has been around since the 90s.

After 9pm, and you start to think that going to bed sounds preferable. Even without kids to consider, who the hell gets home from work before 6pm?

Nag's Head?

Mr Ben, this thread is for things you can actually eat (e.g. tarmac, grass, nail varnish), unlike a Ryanair panini.

I was thinking something similar about Led Zeppelin... by the time I'd really tried to listen to them I'd already been bombarded with Soundgarden, Rage Against The Machine, and all manner of stuff with heavy bluesy riffs. And the younger generation have all heard White Stripes, QOTSA... hard for old music to sound fresh and exciting I guess.

I guess the thing is there is stuff you are "expected" to like, i.e. it's widely accepted that it's quality stuff, but you just don't get it. So Who/Jam/Clash/Velvets/Springsteen/LedZep/Beatles could all fall into that category (even though I personally love some of those bands). Black Eyed Peas, Spandau Ballet, Coldplay... not so much. Fugazi's definitely one for me. It seemed to be generally accepted in the rock/punk/indie/whatever scene that they were pure genius. But whenever I'd try to listen to one of their records I'd rarely manage to get past the first track.

I think Snorky likes a nice bit of Barry Manilow.

TBH I'd probably miss out the Bishop too... prefer the bars round Peckham these days.

Went on a stag related pub crawl a few months ago. The plan was to take in ten pubs, so I went for a half in each, carefully pacing myself so I'd still be sober enough for whatever club we ended up in. But no... 11:30pm and everyone went home. So that was that.

Looks good. An alternative route might be Gowlett/Montpelier/Four Quarters/Bussey..

Selfish use of bicycle parking... but encouraging people to deface the advert? Seems a bit childish.

Huh. Yeah. "started his career" is of course bollocks. But I distinctly remember Clapton saying that he got an afro hair do to copy Hendrix, and I reckon Cream were heavily influenced by Hendrix musically.

Sounds like quite an experience, Fox. Yeah... Clapton had made comments supporting Enoch Powell, and suggested that all the black people should be kicked out of Britain (when questioned about this incident relatively recently, he reiterated his support for EP). Despite the fact that he started his career as a second rate Hendrix rip-off and had a hit with a Bob Marley cover.

Is Eric Clapton still a nazi?

bodsier - no I don't think that's the concept. Sounds like the idea is either to buy one of the houses to live in, or to invest in the redevelopment/sale of the property and make a bit of cash. It would be nice to think that they can be bought by locals wanting a family home, but presumably they'd need a quarter of the purchase price in cash, plus another 100-150K for building/refurb? A good deal on paper, but few people are that cash rich. (saying that I am not anti property development, as such..)

I tried a bit of gentle stirring, but no bites yet..

If I had to pigeon-hole Toast I'd say it was modern British, but as Callie says, the influences are international... bits of French, Mediterranean, middle eastern. Whatever tastes good...

Done. You're welcome.
