Suit and Tie- Justin Timberlake

A woman on the train from ED to London Bridge standing up by the door (back to the doors) had a face mirror out the whole journey and was looking in it and smoothing her face , eyes etc with her forefinger. Not a single article of make-up to be seen. Performing facial massage perhaps?

He did a Nazi salute at one time and got a fine for it. David Miliband has resigned as v.c. of Sunderland in protest at his appointment. Money sure does talk much louder than anything else!

That's a bit a*se about face isn't it- unless a person is permanently working nights?

Maybe he would like to rent his van to my son who cannot afford to move out!

We tried the polite letter through the door when our neighbours had this type of 'event' on work nights. We got an equally polite reply saying they could make as much noise as they liked and mysteriously there was some minor vandalism to our car at the same time. We knew that the loudness would not be deemed 'nuisance' by the council so we rearranged our rooms so that a bedroom was not on the party wall (they could have moved their stereo as the houses are semi-detached). I get the distinct impression that some people are bloody-minded and the more you let on that they irritate you, the more they pile it on.

Goats On A Boat- The Devil Wears Prada

Whilst we are at it- does anyone know the name or author (it might be Kurt Vonnegut) of a sci-fi story or book where somewhere in the book there are pieces of skin falling from the sky and there is stuff about old people- would dearly love to read it again.

Some workmen were in a front garden in Barry Road next to a bus stop and one of them was enormous. He was bending down and his massive builder's bum was showing- hairy crack an'all- a middle aged woman at the bus stop gave me a dirty look because I was laughing at the couldn't care less attitude of the builder- but it was yuk!

Most people 'care' about the environment but don't change their lifestyle unless they have to by laws or bye-laws. There has been an increase in the use of 4x4 and other large engined cars which drink fuel (a finite resource). 20 mph limits mean that cars are in 3rd gear and use more petrol. Most people drive short distances and their catalytic converter does not reach it's operating temperature and so pollution is not reduced there either. I gave up my car for 3 years when I was a member of Friends of the Earth and then I found out that Jonathon Porritt was flying all round the globe with his entourage- no mate- there is nothing like a bit of hypocrisy to make you wake up and smell the coffee with it's attendant carbon footprint!

Yep- take it to a shop and sign up for the tax thing so they get more money

Fight Like A Brave- Red Hot Chili Peppers

I'm pleased it's cold so that my son can test out the effectiveness of his new cavity wall insulation!

Wake me up when Canning Town gets a Waitrose!

Since Labour lost to Mrs T, after the shenanigans surrounding mebership of Militant, I have been very suspicious of them -since anyone with aspirations to Government would, of necessity, cloak their extreme Left wing views (ok so you can accuse me of believing that they are Commies in disguise if you like- because I do anyway). Also, worryingly, someone I know who was a trade union rep. was offered a position on a regional association because they 'talked the talk'. The person in question had never had to prove themselves as being an effective rep. in 2 years as no opportunities had arisen in that time. I agree with EP- a leader needs to be a ruthless b...- it's what they do- not what they say. So far they are all a bunch of toothless wonders imho.

While they are at it they might want to fill in the myriads of pot-holes.

They probably all have their strengths and weaknesses. What is your definition of a good practice and what are you looking for? If you are more specific about your requirements then you might get some useful suggestions.

Yes I agree MM- the sausages are the key to the overall quality of the full English

Hey Joe- Jimi Hendrix

There's a Baroque season on BBC R3?

And don't forget the amazing 'Release' tent where the drug-addled could get support- since their mates were too drug-addled to support them.

Does it mean that Deptford is more salubrious than ED? And if so what can we do about it?

The problem of speeding drivers is perennial and is based upon what these people have between their ears so the speed limit is self-imposed to some extent. The extra distractions that people have in their cars, phones, cd players etc. means that drivers are distracted more frequently as well (if they allow themselves to be, that is). The only solution would be much harsher penalties or compulsory black boxes in the car. People do speed on LL especially at night.

The Fate of Norns- Amon Amarth

The trench bogs at Glastonbury were ok so long as you didn't get too stoned or drunk. My friend would never use them- she used to take a walk into the bushes at night.
