I heard from a friend that Slumdog is pretty good and also funny. India is great. Will be seeing it on Sunday. 'He's just not into you' looks good too.

Hi Gen17 , MacRoban is a wise elder on the forum. I don't think she means to be rude to you.

Maybe the music was too loud for the chap so he kept his hood up.

So that makes it the posh end. Waitrose should be opening in that case not Somerfield.

isn't that the lower east side?

Green and blue have a nice selection of food too i must say.

Charlies, you may be blown down with a feather tomorrow night when you have all of the boys around you. You and Miles sure are monopolising the girls and boys of the forum. Don't forget your glasses. :p

Not happy! I quite agree MrBen, not good news for those little guys, hopefully loyal customers will support them.

Haven't been in there for ages, last time i bought some organic beer, it was good. Surely they sell organic wine if it says it on the sign. Just go in and ask, Felicity.

Hi Will, badminton has started slow this year due to centres being busy, illness and peoples diaries not matching, we had to cancel tonight. A few of us are organising the next round though, you are welcome to join us again. Thanks for the advice on passport, i didn't realise royal mail/ jelly in ED would only take about 2 weeks to get it back. Thanks for that.

Two lots of post, downtown LL. Anyone know the quickest way to renew a passport?

oh dear, another deflowered ED lovely. The campaign against Miles just didn't cut the mustard.

Ask Macroban, she would know i think, she was doing the last count?

An uplift to 50k is a lot for this climate. Some landords are not so greedy Sean.

I didn't mean to break the maiden.

The Sema Thai sure was packed with firemen at one point too. The consumer unit caught fire and one of the firmen asked to use my phone to call the station, he told the station that EDF had come down and cut off the supply ( nice one ADMIN) and they had to come back to re-connect after repairs had taken place. EDF meaning EDF electricity of course.

somebody had better put woofmarkthedog's doggie coat on. It's pretty cold out there.

Very artistic of you lozzy, as always.

Just saw Strawbs post as to location in the Bishop. It's all happening on LL. We came into the bishop, it was rammed full of people so had a quick coffee at the front with a friend. We noticed several people *looking* around. I had a chat with a fellow forumite looking for you guys. Then we left and fire engines started turning up on LL. A smell of burning in the air, then the firmen made their way to the Thai restaurant. Alot of action on LL, cafe's are packed and Somerfield too. What a day.

It is snowing again. I don't remember seeing the impact Snow has had on london as it has today. London was not prepped for this louisa. As Sean says.

seems like a good idea.

Morning Hugue, Thank you for your PM. I am well diversified in business, trading stocks and property. Cpz would not affect me as a business person but as you say you too used to live in the Crawthew area where Foxtons cars had taken over. I have noticed a big decline in the number of their cars recently though. I always find a space when looking to park. I understand you would like to see data on how CPZ affects an area both positively and negatively, have you tried contacting the council? For the newbies reading this, you provided Mark an online survey for people to vote on this forum. The majority of people said no to Controlled Parking Zone for their various reasons. I have had it up to my ears discussing this, i think i will start a new thread on a zebra crossing. Cheers.

I didn't even bother mentioning my 1000th post, thought about it though.

Well, Luvpeckham was right about me and my womanly status, being KK .
