Oh ignore me scsb, as you were.

I guess you get s subset from a limited bunch considering I got Dalkeith too, well, I say got. I guessed it was in Scotland, but I was nowhere near. Unsurprisingly my best was Stevenage 1k, and Brighton, 2k.

At the risk of alienating the only people keeping this thread going at the moment, but can we give the tedious old firm nonsense a rest for a bit, there are entire fora dedicated to that sort of thing. Where we, miwaw, cunts!

How northern,southern, london, se london, letchworth.... anyway, this one is a simple 'cities' of the UK (Stevenage is NOT a city, don't let it get to their heads) put a pin in a map anyway, 76782, apparently i don't know where anything in scotland is and am surprisingly knowledgeable about s wales. http://www.geography-map-games.com/geography-games-Geography-Cities-of-UK-_pageid39.html

I had no idea so many died on the streets in such an inauspicious manner. I liked how unjudgemental it was, just presentation of how it is....when you're obviously sharing a spliff/white ace/zywiec with your interviewees

Great bit of journalism on the realities and effects of immigrant london. http://standpointmag.co.uk/node/5252/full

well, incest creates nothing but evolutionary dead ends, so it's unproven but not improbable that it being taboo across societies is at least influenced by genetics. The Egyptians didn't practice it as a society (if they had they certainly wouldn't have perservered for so long), their royals did, and records that prove they did it tell us nothing about how they felt about it. In fact European monarchies did it as a matter of course too, all the rulers of warring parties in the first world war could call each aother 'cousin willie' etc. Greek pederasty, a period of young adulthood where men are encouraged to have a love affair with a male adolescent for a couple of years, has, by definition, nothing to say from an evolutionary perspective, so is something of a non sequitur. The incest - placentophaghy comparison is that the lack of prevalence may* be genetically inspired, as may* be most peoples squeamishness towards the subjects. Which might also explain why some people may not have a problem/specific receptor. Aaaaaanyway, as you were. As said before, if that's what someone wants to do then more power them, let's hope its not actually harmful. *of course without some serious research/testing it's simply an unproven hypothesis, an opinion if you will.

How can there be no SE5, it's about 100 metres away.

Oh my word, Annabel, that's terrible, I'm so sorry. Heartfelt condolences also.

Many things that revolt us are genetically in built, the smells of putrescence, the idea of incest and so forth. If we were still evolving (we're not really at the moment) and revulsion of coriander (gene OR6A2), given a few millennia of coriander being especially harmful to ones ability to survive/reproduce, meant we were _all_ revolted, then there'd be good reason for our revulsion. Revulsion isn't always thus of course, but I think that earlier article specualtes that it might be the reason we don't do it whilst other animals do. Who knows, either way keeping placentas in your attic, capsules, having a fry up with a nice chilled chianti and some flava beans, you're all barking mad ;)

Otta's just shy!!

what I do like about the bose i have is that they've taken a battering over the years but are still going thanks to replaceable leads and ear pads. The official leads cost about 80 quid but some guy sells knock offs on ebay for about 8 quid.

isolation are far superior in terms of blocking out noise. There could have been a firefight going on with those etymotics and I wouldn't have been aware. Alot of people don't like things stuffed so deeply in ones ears though and they can be uncomfortable on flights. I also quite like that comforting pressure that NC headphones give you on an aeroplane, I sometimes wear them without any music on just for that.

None anymore, the commute killed them after 8 months :( It was a couple of years ago so probably discontinued but they were about ?120. I miss them. I replaced them with some shures that have thicker cables and more durable but aren't as comfortable and don't sound as good, probably because they're cheaper as I didn't want to be forking out a ton every 8 months!!

do they have to be noise cancelling, or are isolation a possibility? Etymotic research headphones are terrific http://www.amazon.co.uk/s?ie=UTF8&field-keywords=Etymotic%20Research&index=electronics-uk&search-type=ss I do own a pair of these that were a present. They're certainly good but very pricey http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bose-QuietComfort-Acoustic-Cancelling-Headphones/dp/B0054JJ0QW/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1384436262&sr=1-1&keywords=bose+headphones I recall the sony ones getting some good reviews and a lot more reasonable http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Wireless-Closed-Over-Ear-Headphones/dp/B004X5JBXU/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1384436333&sr=1-1&keywords=sony+noise+cancelling+headphones+over+ear I've a pair of AKGs myself as I'm never allowed to turn my hifi up any more, though you wouldn't really want to listen to these in public, they'd be as bad as a mobile phone!! http://uk.akg.com/akg-product-detail_uk/k-701.html

I was bringing the piblet, but been trumped by a mate sprogging so bit miffed I won't be there. Take Otta, he's been meaning to go for ages, and check this out for the liquidity of the footie on offer. http://www.pitchero.com/clubs/dulwichhamlet/videos/dulwich-hamlet-4-v-2-lewes-goal-by-kevin-james-on-5102013-45088.html

cup (well trophy) game down a the hamlet this weekend against the mighty conference canvey islanders, Concord Rangers !!

touch?. git!

One for snorks...

The Kylie one was proper hide behind the sofa stuff!!!

whatever you buy get an ex demo. They've not much on the clock but you save the huge depreciation cars suffer the second you drive them off the forecourt.

That's actually quite funny!

It's desperately geeky in-jokes without the humour. I'm surprised at Loz outing himself ;) as we're headed for the lounge anyway....

Doh. I did check out the link, looked quite the Blockbuster. It's lovely clicking on the actors and seeing what they're 'known' for, The Bogus Witch Project(2000), The Guiding light (1952), all wonderfully Troy Mclure.

i thought miga was continuing the unix 'humour'.
