Quick response to pressing the control shouldn't be much to ask

Didn't Corbyn say she may be able to talk the talk (referring to her speech outside No10) but no way could she walk the walk as the Tories represent the privileged few. Thought that bit wasn't bad.

Wow - I remember when the TIVO box was the thing. Virgin have ruined it in the UK. The US Tivo still looks good https://www.tivo.com/

Anyway depends on personal stomach I suppose.

Sounds like Malcolm Tucker but he was based on .. :)

As I feel I am now at breaking point also, I won't be answering any calls or responding to comments.

I think we should avoid that bus lane - will create more traffic in the right hand lane but it's never too bad there (maybe worst when Dulwich play at home). For a while I thought it was only weekdays (no ticket though, so was lucky).

The media will do a hatchet job on all Labour leaders that aren't in their pockets

It's that old mathematical issue of in a classroom how many people have the same birthday. Lots of holidays I seem to run into someone I know - seems statistically probable IMHO.

Wouldn't queue 3 hours for anything now - I did when I was younger though.

Bishop :) Maybe too busy gossiping about football to see what's around me.

Where were you ?

Running commentaries on MLExit are not allowed.

I think we should go for a clean break .. of Boris's arm. (not really of course ;) )

I don't do them but I'd suppose management have the right to try something(i.e. establish the atmosphere they are trying to portray for the place) before whatever will be will be.

Sadiq Khan has referred it to a review - led by Margaret Hodge http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-37432959 Could be the beginning of the end.

There was an expose a year or so ago where waitresses were told to put attractive people in the window seats. I'm in the older group now - but go wherever my mood takes me however when I was young I never went to nightclub opening nights as there were always fights :)
