Roads... Far too many of them! Get rid and shut up both cyclists and drivers at a stroke People should stay at home more and be grateful!

Just how much are ticket prices in Madrid, that Real reckon they can recoup all their astonishing recent expenditure?! I think Man Utd must be laughing - they have surely had the best of Ronaldo?

Noone who spots Emma Woodhouse so quickly can be entirely nerdy! :)

Oh and about time too!!!!

I am not sure the developer was necessarily so 'greedy' in this instance. I recall the broken-down house that stood derelict and vandalised on ths site for years. It must have cost a small fortine to have demolished this and then prepared the site for building the new flats. I can quite believe that two flats - even at the high prices of a few years back - would not have made the development viable. The flats are/were advertised as having cycle storage. I think digging out all that superfluous lawn on the Underhill Road side could perhaps have supplied off-street parking but for whatever reason they did not go with this. None of this denies how horrible the building is of course.

Anything involving railings is definitely a worst-possible option!

Lawton seems quite sound on 20/20 though!

>>Elizabeth Taylor (younger version - v nice)<< I must have missed that news item....when did she pop her clogs??

Well he would sit and smoulder, and she'd try and match him with someone quite unsuitable...

Yes but the pressure on Real these days is so much higher because of the lengthy period of "failure" they have been experiencing..I agree Barcelona still look classier all round but...football's a funny old game innit?:)

Now listen carefully. It's not a racket, it's bat. Rackets are used in tennis, which is another sport we Brits are useless at (see Wimbledon, about to descend upon us)

They look pretty horrible on the inside too, judgung from the photos on estate agents' web sites. And wouldn't there need to be a formal change of use for non-residential use? I really cannot see either the Council or the neighbours wearing that...

>>It seems to me there is more of a perceived risk at the junction than actual risk.<< From the statistics you quote, I think you may be right. I have crossed it many times and I think perhaps because it is so obviously perilous people take extra care looking both ways along LL before crossing. If you're walking towards Goose Green it is the cars turning left from LL into EDG that are the ones you really have to keep your eye out for, especially the bastards who don't indicate. In theory of course any pedestrian crossing the road there should take precedence over any vehicles turning into EDG, but it would be small comfort having the Highway Code on your side if you're suffering multiple injuries or worse...:)

I saw the other day that one of them is "under offer" - allegedly

Milan must be laughing....and the pressure on Real to win the Spanish and Champions Leagues now will be immense..

>>But also witty, self knowing, flirtatious and intelligent. A sexy combination.<< All true....and I hesitated over her a while before going for Emma instead! I think she might be more entertaining without quite realising why! :) I might sit her opposite Heathcliff and sit back and watch...

I have never understood why this junction was made a box junction - it seems quite pointless. And I have long thought an ordinary pedestrian crossing across that end of East Dulwich Grove would be the least disruptive and safest solution

Robert Tressell is a great shout......we really need him today!

Emma Woodhouse Buffy Summers Gene Hunt James Bond Andy Dalziel (a meal out with these last three could be entertaining...) Barbarella

It's 20/20 for goodness sake...barely a notch above beach cricket/slogging...It's not real cricket!!!

First I'm scared, then I'm on glue. Are you capable of posting a message without a gratuitous insult?

But none of them, as far as I know. do Osso Buchi or veal escalope....

Surely the answer is to ban such lorries entirely from, say, within the inner ring road? I seem to recall Livingstone wanted to do soemthing along those lines but was stopped, reluctantly, by a judge.

Mmmmm....they don't do home deliveries I suppose?:))

I see Sky are now claiming Chelsea have put in a last ditch bid of ?73.5 million for Kaka...That's, like, three times what West Ham are going to pay Sheffield United over three years....
