Food is so cheap anyway compared with beer (just payed 4.80 for a pint in central london) And you don't go back and order food 6 times :)

Lidl Peckham seemed to have improved (gone upmarket a bit even) last time I went in there

Rhys Webb has included in a statement "See you in 2016" :( Actually Phillips called up now.

Looks like Halfpenny is out for 6 months - and that was the lesser injury :( knee ligaments http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/rugby/rugby-news/leigh-halfpenny-rhys-webb-injury-10002414

It does give you permission to do similar at a point in time. Usually the reason I hold off causing problems :)

No - scans/results due today. But can't see how they could make it now - both bad injuries - Webbs was terrible (people saying two injuries on the same leg).

Looks like Wales have lost Rhys Webb and Leigh Halfpenny. Uphill task now. Mood was grey in Cardiff on Saturday.

Sky saying this morning the Corbyn bandwagon might be running out of steam. Still can't see him losing this.

Is anyone actually analysing it properly ? Could be correlation or connection from what was said IMHO.

Well I recognised at least one guy (just seen him around) - so understand the masks to an extent :)

There's organised and theres organised :) No harm done though it seems (except a bit of traffic disrupted) The guys instagram is rather good.

Maybe the ED Nero could do with more floor space ? But a lot more choice suddenly (in terms of independents) anyway.

Usually I'd say the opposite (drinkers priority after 8) but I don't eat at pubs much :) Suppose it goes on the stats of the pub - and the new guys don't know that yet.

Half moon is supposed to re-open unless we're being told Half truths.

One day we'll get to the stage where social media leads reality ... and it's not far away :) What I notice is that people using following and blocking set up their twitter feed to show what they want it to show.

Any plants/sprays that foxes don't like but cats don't mind ? It is probably looking for food - so I suppose you have to hide all food (I'd find that difficult).

In Hurghada (Red Sea) every building had a top floor that was in the middle of construction. Might have been a tax loophole ?
