I DO like a kebab, and hey steve, any time you and your fast but fick fingers are down Stab and Wine, I'll happily treat you to one...

Ooh steve, you are in a combative mood this afternoon. Nope. No fat fingers here. But I do have to type detailed and intelligent emails, so perhaps that's why we differ in preference...

The fact that it's a pain in the arse to type on. Actual keys so much more accurate and faster.

Hang on, hang on. To hell with the difficulty of getting back, the most exciting thing is happening at the zoo. Cocktails and a disco at London Zoo every Friday in August. True, your journey home won't be the easiest, but there's definitely a night bus that goes up that way. And you could liberate a giraffe and ride it home! Dances with Wolves, and Tigers and Lions and Monkeys, and Mojitos...

Les Trois Garcons is nice, but well expensive - I certainly wouldn't have been able to afford it at 23 (think LoungeLover is the bar you're thinking of jalapeno) South London Pacific is great, and you can get an N36 back to Camberwell and then change there if you don't want to pay cab fare. Although if that's where you're headed, I'd caution against falling off the stage while dancing and spraining your wrist. Those cocktails can be pretty lethal. You can boogie at Liquorish, but it's packed really tight.

Thing about Apple is that they may make things that other people have already done, but they make them mighty purty, and usually with pretty intuitive functionality. Like Nokia used to be on phones before they got a bit rubbish. I would have bought an iphone if it weren't for the email issue. When recently buying a new laptop, I did go for a macbook - shiny shiny lovely lovely. Sometimes I stroke it. Edited because I cannot spell it seems.

You read the Daily Mail?

No you're right. It's only on that one point that I disagree with you - I don't think it was due to a lack of research, more a way of generating maximum publicity.

Oh for sure. I'm not saying for a second that it's a good thing. Just that I think David was naive (hear that Carnell, Keef's agreeing with you and I'm calling you naive? it's like a cold day in hell) to call them idiots and talk about research.

Haha Keef, I think there should be bunting. Joe public is inconvenienced on driving to a petrol station that is blockaded (or whatever they did) long enough to notice. Of course they can go somewhere else. But it's annoying to have to, so they they see it, and they experience it in person, in a way that they wouldn't if it was a small piece on the news about a head office in a town nowhere near them.

Sactly Brendan. Going to their HQ isn't remotely effective - joe public couldn't give a flying fig for some city types being picketed by some hippy types. But they do take notice if they can't get their petrol. Is PR, pure and simple.

You've seen her cry right? (Gazza that is, not GiGi)

I don't think they're idiots David. The points you make are all valid, but ultimately this was about a visible protest. And BP's UK head-office, wherever it may be, just won't have the same public resonance.

Quite right too. We can get carried away with all the apps we like, but there's nothing to compare with that inward eye which is the bliss of solitude.

Although to be fair to Woof's fashion credentials, the style of clog was mulesque. Am a right crotchety bitch today and no mistake. Off to BP to get me some sweets and crisps, and maybe some fizzy pop too. I bet cars could run for hundreds of miles on fizzy vimto.

Good, because what you posted before was more of a clog.

I think they sell crisps and sweets too.

You can get that bleached these days Woof.

I believe (from a sleepily-heard Today programme yesterday) that they were also protesting about BP's failure to live up to its commitment to seek alternatives to petrol.

It's the heat jalapeno (and you should know about that) - makes everything go a bit gooey.

Quite so - however I would caveat that smeary mascara under your eyes will only add to the just-risen-from-the-dead effect. It's quite a luxury, but Laura Mercier does do a ridiculously light light-reflecting powder specifically for the under-eye area.

Because steve, people with iphones bang on and on about them, and the number of times I've had to justify my lack of iphone to the i-evangelists is quite ludicrous. Hey, if you don't like a thread, here's a thought - don't read it!

Will it also make me an iTwist? I've seen those on the telly and quite fancy some fried chicken.

Don't have an iphone - I need to send too many emails from my phone for work and iphone typing is rubbish. So I have a blackberry - and BitchBuzz says it's better for work - so in your face iphone geeks.
