Are we 100% sure it's a picturehouse? Clapham and Brixton are similarly close so it's not out of the question, but they are both larger "towns" which already attract visitors from other areas.

TBH if Scotland become independent, we may as well just completely dissolve the union. Wales don't really bring much to the table. NI has always been more hassle than it's worth. (being slightly facetious here...)

It wouldn't take a genius to register a car at a relative's address, for example. Don't see how it's really enforceable.

How many English players are good enough to get into the top Spanish/Italian/German teams?

I always just assumed that translations for country names were sort of "made up". Didn't realise they had to be officially sanctioned by the country itself. It's probably a sensible precaution though...

Not sure how it would be enforcable without a CPZ.

Nobody's saying he shouldn't be punished. It was aggressive, and showed a complete lack of discipline and self control. He shouldn't play again in the world cup IMO. The question for me is whether this really is more serious than something like an intentional foul which could seriously injure a player. SJ says "it's nothing to do with the amount of damage done physically"... but surely physical harm (or at least potential for it) is pretty significant?

Oh and Suarez... yeah ban him for a few games or whatever, but let's not pretend this is the worst thing to ever happen in a world cup. It's not dangerous like De Jong's high tackle on Alonso in 2010.

A Pret would be amazing. Imagine being able to buy a sandwich without having to get on a bus or train!

You must live in a really tall building, Jah

No electricity. Or do you mean actually bring Midge Ure with you? Or just name one of the local midges "Midge Ure", take him indoors (if you can find a building with a roof), and see if it makes any sort of sound at all?

What do you do when you get there? I can see how you could pass a couple of hours strolling around the ruins of the village. At a push, maybe you could take some photos of birds and shit. What then? It's barely big enough to go for a proper hike (and hiking's crap without a pub lunch).

Does your house have a cellar, fazer? Have you considered converting it into a soundproof bunker?

Assuming you're using an ice cream maker... pour the slushy semi-frozen ice-cream into a tupperware container, then put that in the freezer.

Someone in "general ED issues" is asking about flee treatments for cats... worth a shot?

I thought you liked the noise, fazer?

You have to put it in the freezer after the ice-cream maker...

I hope so too. A game of this magnitude... no time to be messing around with a tried and trusted formula.

Context is everything.

Louisa - maybe the same person who told you that Space NK (whatever the hell that is) is opening in ED!

That's interesting, Malcolm. Lots of good things happening in Forest Hill these days..

I've travelled on my own before and really enjoyed it. But it does help if you know a few people along the way you can visit or meet up with.

Loz, I was really referring to your first post on this thread. People were expressing disdain for the term "yummy mummy", and you responded by suggesting the thread had taken some sort of extreme-feminist turn. And I can't figure out why you thought that. Didn't mean to drag out the Guardian argument at all..
