I read it as MM interpreting Parky's comment on this thread as an angry rant, so queried whether the Foie Gras banter had wound him up, what with all the banter on that separate thread.

don't want to work Boxing Day, so have a job that explicitly supports that.

Well, we have a team and some tools/equipment. But now the special ops 'copter has morphed into a police 'copter chasing a car. Damn.

totally with you on that, all we need now is a plan / something to do - hmmm....

i got a mosquito net from the loft, should come in handy if we end up the jungle...

no, its defintitely a special operations operation, Santa has been putting the presents in the houses for years - I'm sure he knows where the chimneys are by now !

ianr that'll be really useful if it gets dark and we're in, like, a park or the woods - good thinking..

A very merry Xmas *Bob*

well it depends WHICH foil, there's a science to this you know..

no that'll be straight jamming signals, they're focussing on ED and we need to find out why, we need a militia and we need it now. Who's in ? I have some binoculars and a pack of waterproof matches.

MM, I can just tell, I watch telly sometimes.

You stick 'em in oranges to make those Xmas decorations.

Personally I'd post on forum and print A4 posters to stick on lamp posts in your street, why should you live in fear, the guy was out of order and you're entitled to know who he is and why he did that. If he was legit he could have waited by your front door when you noticed him and explained what he wanted - it's obvious that sticking his face against windows unannounced will concern anybody who's inside. I understand anyone not wanting to post-up the pic though.

If you mean the dark helicopter, if was a special ops model, not sure what its doing in ED.

Only if we want to be more confident that the public services will not be held to ransom every darned Xmas, Easter and other key periods when many public need the service.

Malumbu - pointing out that Aussies are more lazy than Brits in your opinion doesn't excuse this lazy, opportunist and cynical move by the tube drivers. They really don't appreciate when they've got it good. Obviously an area where we need some reliable and dependable Poles, Bangladeshis or other hard-working people.

The new calming measures haven't added an extra 20mins to the journey between upper Lordship Lane and ED station, that's an exaggeration. Unless you're travelling late in the morning like 0800 or after, there's hardly a difference. Chinese is not a language, just like 'African'.

What we (who presumably have either never been to, or at least never spent very long in India) call 'authentic' is neither here nor there. What's our experience ? Bangladeshi-run curry houses and a couple of programs on telly ? At the Indian YMCA it's cooked by, served by and served to Indians. I think they know their own shit. So for 'authentic' I don't think we need to continue a discussion because no-one really has anything to go by do they. Whether you like the food or not is a separate question. This is London and there's plenty options if you want another option, as has been already pointed out.

Kunt And The Gang play 12 Bar club tonight and New Cross Inn on Sunday.

?5.50 for lunch, including great omelette.

Weak British working attitude, laziest country I've worked in. No shame and surreal viewpoint on what side their bread's buttered.

I'm declaring open season on pedants, just for one day...

So does that mean ED is declining or not ?

only 10 or so people waiting on ED station platform for the 0805 train to London Bridge !
