Can you PM me once you've got the info? Ta. Hope they do chips.

Home did an impromptu set in The Bishop last night? That is a coup. Hooray!

I know this really good restaurant. Unfortunately I'm one of the few people capable of appreciating how good the food is (genius is such a heavy burden). In addition, the restaurant is so committed to the quality of the food that should people less capable than me of such appreciation start to eat there, the food will quickly become rubbish. What a delicate balance and equilibrium there there exists between Top Secret sushi restaurants and their secret diners armed with their exquisite palates - so different to every other type of restaurant in London. We must strive to preserve, nurture it and encourage them - like the last mating pair of giant Pandas. COBBLERS

Well I'd like one with with few exclusions, great exam results, low truancy, a good disciplinary record, excellent sports facilities, high placement into higher education, enthusiastic involvement on the part of parents and governors.. that sort-of thing. Suppose I'm just a snob too.

What are you doing back here anyway, Alan? Are you on a temporary ban from Camberwell Online? I feel I ought to say - there have been a few changes round here in your absence. You can't just waltz in, take over the steam press and expect to be Top Dog again..

Alan and Maurice - back where they belong. It's all too much.. I'm getting a little emotional.

Either he's been wearing the same green t-shirt for the last four days, or he only ever wears green t-shirts - perhaps to remove unnecessary sartorial decision-making in order to concentrate on the important matters of the day (making placards, stopping people from getting to work, saying 'no')

At least they'll get a good deal on the carpeting.

Come on Mr A.. without wishing to labour a previously made point, the spittleranting element wasn't in the content itself, it was in the presentation.. ie shouting F**K every other word and topping it off with a C**T. Fair enough?

Quite frankly it amazes me how some people seem to find the time to sit around reading threads on an internet forum. And then commenting on them. I mean - come on!

Tell me about it, nbn. Jeez, makes the bloody boil. Bloody nerds.

I like your style, kyrian. A plea for common sense, consensus and non-aggression... illustrated by way of a poor-taste disabled gag, guaranteed to upset a whole load of hitherto not-bothereds.

I don't understand why 'time' is capitalised. Say the sentence aloud whilst shouting all the capitalised words. Doesn't work for me.

In short, Brendan, yes.

I like some more than others, and some I don't care for at all. Just like, say, types of cheese. Which ones do you like, Ted?

People are selfish in so many ways but always blind to their own selfishness. In any case - as you well know, Huge, there's a swathe of recreational drugs which don't 'blight the other side of the globe', from things you can grow on your windowsill in a plant pot, to things you can buy on the internet, made legally in a factory - like shampoo. Essentially the greater the attempt to control, the greater the global blight.

I suggest torture on a sliding scale to fit the seriousness of the crime. So, for the most serious crimes (heresy, treachery): the rack, living bamboo grown up the anal passage, sanding-down of the limbs with power tools etc etc Mid-level crimes (tax evasion, being cruel to donkeys): kneecapping, made to squat in a small box in darkness for ten hours, thumbscrews, use of non-powertools Low-level crimes (traffic offences, non-payment of council tax): Light beatings (sock with snooker ball in it), being urinated on, forced to watch Panorama. Society will be all the better for it.

That sort-of thing never happened at Keele, you know.

I'm not joking! She took it to lectures - down her bra. Bloody students.

I shared a house with a girl who kept a rat down her bra for two years. Do I win a prize?

Fortunately the security isn't too bad at Womad. It's the sniffer dogs at Hay you really have to be careful of.
