cant do weds, in fact this week is all bad.

I'm just not sure about Ashes to Ashes. I watched Thursdays too and whilst it was funny with fab lines, soundtrack and costumes, the 'crime' or 'mystery' was laughably bad, in a bad way! so I will give it another go but with mixed feelings. I already saw Dexter when it was on SFX and it is fab. definietly worth a go. I have the wire box set coming soon on lovefilm as so many folk have recommended it.

does anyone have any recommendations for any good telly that's on at the moment? ashes to ashes, as discussed on the other thread is really not as good as it should have been. there's a spooks shaped hole in my life and the last enemy is not going to fill it.

Well it is closing...for now...but here's the full update from the facebook group..........there is hope! any hacks out there need to push this story and maybe they will get funding. from the facebook Southwark museums campaign: Despite a fast and popular campaign, lasting 21 days from a standing start (when the very first rumour of the threatened closure came out), Southwark Council finally voted to close the much loved Livesey Museum for Children. Its doors shut on 29th February 2008 (thought I'd add the year as some of you might have foolishly imagined the courtesy of a year's grace). The process has been scandalous: A lack of detailed research to inform their decision, lack of consultation with and support for the staff, lack of information to the public and regular users, and the use of substantially wrong statistics to assess its value and to brief councillors. One high point was the children's delegation before the Council meeting on the 20th Feb. We were really proud of them for asking such articulate and challenging questions of Cllr Stanton. Another high point has been the enormous amount of press coverage, which presses on as the story continues. The story continues because the Council has agreed to discuss with us the option of the Friends forming a trust and seeking funds to run the Museum. Key points to negotiate are that we would need to be able to use the building and that Southwark wouldn't sell it, as they have said they plan to do, and that we would be able to access the Southwark art and heritage collections for use in displays. There have already been three approaches from good charities to support this cause, so we are hopeful. A lot of hard work will follow and there is a danger that we will feel deflated once the Museum shuts. If anyone has expertise, time, ideas, contacts and resources to help please get in touch. Thanks for your support Bridget McKenzie (for the Friends)

it's true the place rocks. But there shouldn't be an apostrophe in the title of this thread. That's why it should be lounged. for grammatical reasons.

I don't know why the helicopter was there, but the story IS true. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7248428.stm

Ah DM I thought any retired brickie from penge would know this! Japanese verse form- perhaps the shortest form of blank verse- single poem, often supposed to be: 5 syllables 7 syllables 5 syllables: Example: Three things are certain: Death, taxes, and lost data. Guess which has occurred. ? David Dixon see wikipedia for more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku Here's one for you DM gorgeous posh lady elusive yet down to earth too good to be true?

glad to entertain annaj. (but it is true) re: your nose i must try and come to one of these forum drinks and witness it.

that's why it's so chocolatey delicious!

ed_pete that's very funny. They should get you on their marketing team................ wait a minute......... are you actually Monsieur Bonas?

it's cheaper! it's like sausages, all the sweepings off the factory floor are melded together into egg shapes. by bunnies, at night. bunnies dont have the high health and safety standards that the normal factory staff have. Also all the air trapped inside permeates the chocolate itself. Sometimes one of the egg making bunnies farts whilst making the egg, the fart is trapped inside, and that's what you eat, along with the egg. True.

I just read: what was lost by Catherine O'Flynn http://www.tindalstreet.co.uk/catalogue/item_detail.php?id=236 and it was really great. I loved it. laughed out loud. and it was very moving too. and it was very funny about the crappy old consumer society that we all live in. I also really loved Black Swan Green by David Mitchell. Brilliant 80s nostalgia and a lovely novel about growing up.

terrible 2 tantrums. and breathe.........and relax. this is not a situation where shouting back will change anything.

from the website- They need your support tomorrow night at Peckham Town Hall: LET SOUTHWARK'S LOCAL COUNCILLORS KNOW YOUR VIEWS - THERE IS STILL A CHANCE THE MUSEUM CAN BE SAVED At Tuesday's meeting of Southwark?s Executive Council it was decided to close the Livesey Museum for Children in this year?s round of budget cuts. The decision was made in spite of a large amount of support for the museum from local people, which included a demonstration outside the council chamber. It also transpired that the Executive Council had based their decision on an inaccurate briefing paper which amongst other things slashed the museum?s visitor figures by nearly 8000. This is set to be ratified at a full Council meeting on the 20th February. The meeting is at 7.00 at Peckham Town Hall. PLEASE COME TO THE MEETING - THE MUSEUM NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT

I saw Othello last Friday and Ejifor is absolutely fantastic. Desdemona is great too, they're all pretty fab in truth though. And I agree with Ladygooner in recommending Dealer's choice. The first half especially is hilarious.

Yes. I did it last friday. there are 10 seats and 20 standing released at 1030 for each show. plus any returns if they have them (unlikely) getting there at 9 you might get standing. some of the last of the queue got there around 9. But I would go a bit earlier if i was you as it is the last week. more like 8 if you want to be sure of a ticket. count how many in the queue when you get there, it's max 2 tickets per person. I got there at 530 and I was 3rd in the queue so I got a pair of seats! but that was quite a crazy thing to do I realise. not as crazy as the couple who had been there since 130am tho. more people came at 630, then from 7 through til 9ish. if you do get standing there is a bar you can lean on and the view is pretty good. the show is fab. Chiwetel Ejiofor is amazing. the rest of them are good too but he is quite astonishingly great.
