well frankly that sounds like a rubbish bonfire party but the green has my vote too

I was a pixie in the brownies - not sure whether my pixie dust has now expired Ternerife is gorgeous (outside the goblinny playa de las americas), but never been anywhere else - watching the sun rise on new year's day over mount teide, drinking honey rum on the veranda of an old ramshackle wooden house with the birds and insect (crickets? cicadas?) singing - that's what they should have shown on the adverts

I wonder what is the appropriate sentiment to express on here..? Apart from Jimbob's lack of interest, I would imagine most of us are horrified and wondering about the motivation and what can be done (that said, I haven't seen a paper yet this morning so I don't know what new has come to light). I just wouldn't think to come on here solely to share my grief. Perhaps I'm unusual in that. But as bon3yard was (I think) pointing out rather more pithily than me, Mumbai is not the only international crisis (Christ, what's an appropriate word?) missing its own thread.

Huguenot for Mayor!!

I could get considerably more oblique. And the Harrods Food Hall is a good shout - it probably straddles the CLEAR LINE between the mediterranean grocers and the deli (and then some - it really is very very super)

was, in an oblique kind of way, trying to point out that the two shops are not the same...

by hook or by crook, I'll be first in this (not a) book by egg or by bacon, it seems I'm mistaken

Do we include comedy in here, or in the theatre thread? should i be starting a new one? anyway, just got back from seeing David O'Doherty on his first night in a run at the Soho Theatre - very funny, slightly shambolic Irish charm and wit. Go and see him, he's super

weasely beesley with the sly eyes

I prefer the fishmongers

Keef, for sure he didn't decide just to f*ck us - he wants to f*ck the entire bus system so that his voters in their 4x4 juggernauts can own the roads and mow down the plebeian likes of us, and then they can eat the road kill, except that might adulterate the pedigree bloodline resulting in mutant pin heads (the likes of which were on Jeremy Kyle today) which would stop their needing such enormous vehicles to keep their gargantuan heads and well-nourished bouffants intact, so we could all revert to using the bus and we'll be happy again.

boosboss, I might have to fight you. or Boris.

well I liked it. do we need our sunday night drama to be all high fallutin'? no we do not. entertaining, I thought it was. yoda am i. thought the score was a bit overblown at times though, like a lorry beeping when it reverses, to show there was SOMETHING IMPORTANT about to happen

IT'S ALL BORIS'S FAULT (I really mean that, no sarcasm)

no indeed, but then it's not called a Mars Bar - we the plebs add the Bar bit - it's a Mars what's the George Michael careless with his wispa gag? and would anyone like to bring some Wispas round to mine?

Surely the whole point of the contradictory character descriptions is so that anyone reading will identify with some of the characteristics, ignoring those that don't fit with their picture of themselves. A load of old bollocks - fun though

I want diaphenous potatoes to match my dress

Verily, I would say nothing of note could issue from a quill that needs no dipping

Ooh, LDALY, you'll have set the cat among the pigeons there

Ha! I'd love to claim the credit for that one, but alas I cannot: rudie cards

apparently they have "a special collection of rude cards kept under the counter"...

will it be a Clintons? I love their musical Status Quo cards that play Rockin' All Over the World!

what on earth did you do with an AK47?

Quite right Brendan, quite right. (sharp sticks though, not Honaloochie-style clubbing)

If I say Marc Jacobs shoes I will sound shallow and vain? A very good set of german steel - chopping onions brings me more pleasure than is possibly normal. Ultimately probably my freedom from a hideous, hideous job and stress-related alopecia - paying for it now in the freelance drought
