Mag IS showing the footie but only on one screen at the end on the left (hurrah but sorry it's my local and I like footie) but if you sit down the other end you wouldn't notice it

bastard

Just in case you were thinking of voting tory - you must watch this!

eater81 - if you don't want to be part of the East Dulwich Festival then just avoid it, easily done. But why post such puerile comments? There's a body of people locally who are into it and who put a huge amount of time and effort into it. And a lot of people do enjoy it so what's the problem. Sorry if I'm ranting but it's like people who complain about tv programmes - if you don't like it, change the channel. No-one's forcing you to get involved

Does anyone know of any cheapish hotels in Brighton that don't insist on a 2 night stay at weekends? I'm going down for a party on Saturday 17th and want to have a drink or two so thought it better to stay over. But I'm finding it really difficult to find anywhere to stay

Why I was pissed off before was that because of the snow my section of CPR was a no parking zone for weeks and weeks. I was in the middle of building work and needed to get a skip in order for the builders to carry on. So effectively I lost a month when they went off to another job. I was also pissed off because I think making the pavements look pretty comes pretty far down my priorities on what council tax should be spent on.

It's just that having had them spend weeks, nay months, rebuilding the pavements on CPR so we couldn't (a) park or (b) walk on the pavement it is a tad annoying that just as the pavement work has finished that they start again at the bottom. I'm a cyclist so I'm well aware what the road surface is like and CPR is not particularly bad compared to other roads locally. Guess there's a pot of money in some budget somewhere that can't be used for something sensible that's got to be spent before the end of the financial year.

I noticed it yesterday on Lordship Lane and Pellatt Road by the Mag. Very strange

I just had a look at loveandfriends.com and there are some very cute guys on it...... Incidentally I was in the Swan a week last Saturday, the night Ireland won at rugby, and the place was heaving with very drunk young Irish guys. If that's the sort of thing that ticks your boxes, great, but nah, not for me!

I had it done about 3 years ago at Moorfields - certainly not the cheapest place but I thought they were fantastic. It honestly didn't hurt and it was definitely the best thing I've ever done

There was a photography festival a few years ago - I think they called themselves Buffalo or something like that. It was quite fun - each photographer exhibited in places that don't normally show photography like bars and shops and then each photographer had a picture at Liquorish where the opening was. But it never happened again which was a shame. Yes there are oodles of creatives in SE22

The TFL website is shite

Adventure Bar is fun at weekends but a young crowd - or Liquorish

Love it - and I saw Gavin in B&Q Old Kent Road on Friday evening. Don't any of them actually live in Barry?!

Does anyone know how to contact them re. recruitment? Main Sainsburys recruitment website is useless. My boy needs a saturday/evening job

Satay Bar on Coldharbour Lane good - and cheap www.sataybar.co.uk

Well it ain't going to be Jo replacing Harry, that's for sure

Can anyone recommend a good (but cheap) restaurant near Euston station or a pub/bar that does good food? I'm meeting a friend there tomorrow evening and neither of us know the area. So any ideas please!!!

I bought a radiator for my bathroom from Bells in LL for about ?60 and then saw exactly the same thing in B&Q for double that. Admitedly it was on special offer but I bought the whole of my new bathroom from Bells and my builder said they were cheaper than anywhere else he'd seen. And I got fantastic service

By the way, the publican is a woman and she's a pretty tough cookie and doesn't put up with any nonsense from anyone. I know most of the guys who drink there and they're a pretty harmless bunch. But perhaps the half price beer in happy hour makes them a tad more jovial than they should be - anyway it's getting darker earlier and earlier so only the ardent smokers will be popping outside

Always got to be the Herne

Yep Adventure Bar stays open the latest, music is great and staff very friendly

Just seen this thread - where do you meet and what time?

Does anyone know what's going on with the postal strike - I'm waiting for a Reading ticket that's supposedly being posted to me today by special delivery. On the web there are conflicting reports that it's just wildcat one day strikes or it's all out from today until agreement is reached
