It's British weather.

Don't give this Olympic shite any more oxygen. I guess this is what clients mean when they ask for a viral.

Well it would be if they said anything other than "go away". This troll is a moron. I want humour. I want bile. I don't pay SE22 prices for tedium. I think anyone outside SE22 is a rabid cunt. Oh, why bother...

Been suggested elsewhere on the thread, but perhaps the debate on curfews could continue on a different thread. A woman has been subjected to a horrific assault, and it feels hideously insensitive to start getting into a debate about taking a taxi late at night. Please take it to the Lounge.

Ooh, or the Meg Ryan interview, when he was a proper arsehole. Pity it wasn't him Grace Jones clobbered. Hmm, wonder, does that class HER as chippy?

Oh and TM, isn't Parky always carping on about how people don't know how to conduct an interview any more? Bah, give me Wogan any day.

Not Henry - Jonathan Rhys Whatnot gets right on my tits, stealing a living all over the show. No idea if he's chippy, but lovely lovely Dudley is. And annoyingly sixth form about being a bit "deep" too. If only I were still 14...

Personally, I think we'd do better to eliminate beggars altogether. They make the place look messy, and it's not bad enough we have to fork over our hard-earned for benefits scroungers, without having to pay again.

That fit Henry VIII fella - Tom Hardy. Whoa momma, to look at. Dear god, to listen to. Although I quite like Will Young - get him on Graham Norton or Question Time and he's fine (even the now defunct Something for the Weekend). God I'm middle aged.

Who, the lawyers?

All people on soaps are awful. With the exception of the old school on Corrie. They're exceptional.

I would like to add a caveat to Penguin's advice re hobbies on a CV. If they're interesting, put them on - post-GCSE, the list of experience is going to be brief. Interesting hobbies catch the eye and make a great talking point in an interview - for instance the guy who does magic who my friend just employed for an office job because having that on his CV made him stand out from the crowd.

*wanders Lordship Lane forlornly seeking out the possibly aprocryphal irony dispenser* I remember when all this was fields.

Kids Company are always after volunteers, though I'm not sure if they have anything on a more regular footing, and often there's a need for a CRB. Oh, just seen I can't embed a link - http://www.kidsco.org.uk/

Who WERE those people? I didn't recognise any of them, and I'm certain they weren't forumites. I think they bussed them in from television centre.

At his age, I worked at a theme park (sadly in short supply in ED), that was probably about 35 mins away from home. Taught me something about being knackered at the end of a working day, but also gave me great independence and some money of my own.

How many's the invite list? Are there any under 18 nights that he could just say he'd be celebrating his birthday at? We did that for a few - that way the club has responsibility for bouncing and the like, and it's all done and dusted by 10.30 (when they sneak off to the park with a 2l bottle of Woodpecker)

No, I'M Spartacus. (Mootacus?)

I can't help with the lynchmob, saleem, but wondered if you might be in the market for a girlfriend..? I like a man who's a bit tasty.

Hmm, I'm unconvinced of that, maybe it depends where you mean in East London. I pay more rent for a similar sized flat here than my boyfriend does on Shoreditch High Street. And that's zone 1.

I'm with Jeremy and Quids. Really like ED, but liked it more when there were places like Inside 72 and The Drum to go to. I'm a 30-something and sometimes don't feel grown up enough to live here. Kind of depends what you're after though, if you want a bit of SE London hipster cool then you could look at Peckham (out-cooled Dalston and Hackney on a recent infographic doing the rounds), or New Cross, or Camberwell. All have a younger crowd. But if you're more Balham, and comfortable around lots of prams and would like a nice home that smells lovely, then ED could be right up your street.

The i eh? It's like Metro with less interesting features.

No, you see - that's where smileys ARE fun. An unintentionally cool B and an angry 6, that's funny. Leave those ones alone. Delete the rest.

What Otta said. At that age, we always had parties at tennis and cricket clubs, probably for the reasons cited above. Oh, and the community centre - I don't really know what one of those is, but they were always happy to have us?
