I went to KCL when they had halls on Kings Road Chelsea. Lots of space too. Long gone now.

Maybe an ASBO is appropriate :)

he's not quite on the junction - flush with the start of the pavement IMHO. If he was a few feet back - would be worse.

As Sky said a lot of unhappy people on Friday You get the feeling now this is the nuclear option being used - and it should never have got to this.

Just because it's Peckham - doesn't mean we can't have the same investment as other parts of London Maybe someone will sponsor ? It's got a facebook page now :) https://www.facebook.com/peckhamlido - some pics of it on here.

plan to negotiate membership of EU in 18 months has "more ifs than a poem by Rudyard Kipling". Spanish Minister for Europe (they have a vested interest don't they :))

Only 25 more needed :)

It's the start of year/freshers week etc - students always at the loudest then.

There's derelict houses everywhere - the shop that got burned down in the riots is still a shell and the Greggs next to it - there's a mouse infested area next to co-op house. Why not in fill - that makes the area look better to start with.

Is it just me - but however much people say this debate has been energising - the big issues have not been discussed - it's just short term economic and political stuff. I really think this might come back in a few years whoever wins on Thursday.

It's usually a mistake We all forget - or tap in wrongly - or once I thought Oyster worked on trains and it didn't (?20 penalty for that). Now - everytime my Oyster tops up - the first tap tops up but doesn't pay a ticket - I have to tap twice - that catches you out if it's not a barrier - and makes you crash into the barrier if there is one.

They used to turn up at work and install things without permission usually there is some valid work somewhere - they just seem not to ask :)

I've done that - I act all helpless and doolally - like I don't know what happened or how I ended up there. They usually let me off.

It varies. Once a disabled girl tried to get on - the disabled entry didn't work so she told the driver he had to stop the bus until it was fixed by law. And she was right - everybody off.

If you give the horrendous thing alcohol it might be sick :(

As opposed to Irish and Scottish Goidelic Celts. Seems to be an argument whether Celts are a race at all mind or a culture/language.

2 years ago Murdoch said he would move BSkyB HQ to Scotland if business taxes were made low for him. and this below - lobbying http://news.stv.tv/scotland/304739-murdoch-denies-doing-deal-with-salmond-over-bskyb-takeover/

Brown now 'leading' NO he doesn't have any axe to grind :). Murdoch might have an axe to grind too. Scores to settle. ?Scottish independence means huge black eye for whole political establishment, especially Cameron and Milliband ? There are grudges here - it could go on and on.
