I know... surely that can't really happen! Froch vs Kessler is apparently on though.

I am quite certain that you wouldn't be allowed to build above the height of the existing roof. You might be able to fill in the centre dip of the "V", and then lower the ceiling of the top floor to create enough height. But it wouldn't fall under permitted development, and I'm not sure how likely it would be to get approval.

Peckhamgatecrasher - if you don't like violent films, Jackie Brown would probably be the one to start with. Pulp Fiction is possibly his best film (and one of the more accessible ones) though.

It's all personal taste innit. I liked In Bruges but probably wouldn't watch it more than twice. I could watch Inglorious Basterds again and again.

Ska documentary + DJ set = cracking evening. Sorry I missed that one!

I've enjoyed most of his films. Not seen Deathproof or Django yet. I thought Basterds was really underrated (if slow moving). The only one that hasn't really stood up to repeated viewings for me is Kill Bill.

Fox - this is a similar product: http://www.maplin.co.uk/vga-to-hdmi-convertor-with-audio-support-388962 As far as I can see, ed_pete's link won't help, because as with right-clicking's suggestion, it looks like just a cable and not a converter. To reiterate, you don't just need a cable, you need a unit which can convert the analog VGA signal to a digital signal.

Minder - yeah, the five new houses will obviously be private. I'm pretty surely the new flats being built will be council flats - the consultation notice describes it as "coucil's own development".

right-clicking, that cable won't work. You'd need something which actually converts the analogue VGA signal to a digital signal, which would cost the best part of ?50.

I only find a specific subset of loud-mouthed faux yuppies - swaggering around wearing rugby shirts with upturned collars - rather foolish.

I reckon H would admit that when he disagrees with someone on here, he tends to go for the jugular. I've certainly been on the end of it a few times. But on this occasion I do agree with his point.

Yep. Arguing with Huguenot can be like banging your head against a brick wall, but surely m&m didn't expect to get away with a tirade like that without ruffling a few feathers.

I don't think rats of over a foot long would be completely unbelievable. But I'm pretty sure we don't need to start worrying about being attacked by these beasts.

Amazing value. Good luck!

It varies a lot. Some bits are now quite gentrified, others are more rough around the edges. Depends what you're looking for. It's certainly very different to Brixton.

Surely Frankie Dettori is the only genuine household name.

Not really my bag at all... way too tuneless and dreary. I don't think any label would release this stuff if it wasn't from Bowie. But I guess he's earned the right to release what the hell he wants.

KK - With all that shoegazing music they were into, I'm not surprised some stimulants were needed to enjoy it. Sue - Ted Max's post was a direct criticism of the Dream Machine, sarcastically suggesting that it was a good idea.

Yep, cars in Paris often park literally bumper to bumper. No choice but to touch bumpers when getting in and out of spaces.

I don't even think the distance to the hospital is necessarily relevant. In some areas you might be able to travel 20 miles in half an hour. In London, it might take half an hour just to go five miles.

How protective are you of your van? You could try a little nudge! Alternatively try leaving a polite note on the windscreen.

Can you really compare a densely populated capital to the rural south west?

Homeopathy for farm animals... whatever next, I thought? Reiki for sheep? Acupuncture for cows? Then I looked it up - and all this stuff actually already exists. Anyway, I generally avoid organic stuff, because I don't want to pay the extra price, and I am cynical about the benefits.

Clockhouse... looks like a really lovely pub from the outside. Not so great inside, especially the area at the back, which just feels really odd.

The problem is that if you want that amount of space downstairs, you'll probably need to put the bathroom upstairs. Which will really eat into your bedroom space - unless you do a loft conversion. If you add up the cost of a half house, plus a loft conversion and a side return extension, you're probably not getting good value for the sq ft.
