For EDF members only!?

Tivoli amusement's new owners?

Vespa's rule!

I may even make an appearance myself. I've never been to this place, so wouldn't mind checking out somewhere new to boot. I will try to hold back on my regular large Thursday night in town (reserve the hangover for work, you see!)

In 5 years of living in ED, I can definitely say it's gotten worse. With the 50% increase at City Airport already having been approved, this is only going to get worse. Is the local MP the right person to go to? If so, can I suggest we set up some sort of petition, at least to get the ball rolling and to show the necessary people how many people this impacts. We can talk about this forever, but why not try to action something here? Silent/quieter aircraft propulsion is not going to be around in commercial aircraft for several decades...

That reminds me of the time I parked the car on a lay-by to take a leak. As I was walking out from the bushes, I gazed up at a yellow sign entitled, "Danger, mines!". I'll think twice next time about p1ssing on someone else's turf!!! Seriously though, you're only likely to find mines in Croatia if you really head off the beaten track.

Some of my female friends have been to Turkey and they've loved it, but I hear time and time again stories of sleazy local men....

Turkey for a woman on her own. Are you sure?

I hope you remembered to wipe!

Damn, that's harsh. How about a sailing holiday, or is that not your thing? Great thing there is accommodation is included! It's a pretty popular thing to do for single travellers... There wasn't a lot of wind in Croatia in early August though, but it may be picking up now.

Rosie - can I come with you!? I need another holiday already!

Hire a happy clapper. That's what I'm doing in the future. Class!

What you want is a mouse trap that once activated beeps, to let you know it's been triggered. Can't you buy them? (Copyright AcedOut 2008, patent pending)

Village people

I billed Tiscali for loss of income, interest, cost of calls made etc when they incorrectly continued to bill me and then proceed to get the debt collectors on me. To begin with, they owed me a ?4 refund, but were rather surprised when I sent them an invoice for close to ?1000! I even told them that I'd change them a ?100 admin fee for each letter I had to process from their collections agency. They'd do a similar thing to a customer, but they don't like it when the shoe is on the other foot. If money goes missing from my bank, I'll push for something similar. Just giving me the money back isn't good enough. The is a price to having to chase it up, so I fully support your view louisiana.

Brixton Village.

No, but my girlfriend is. Oh er ;) I'll try it at work. There are several here! I've heard of water-cooler conversation, but I wasn't expecting to be sharing the space with a mouse yesterday. It was a brave little mite too!

And they can collapse their entire skeletal system to craw through spaces a tenth of their height (or something along those lines). So forget trying to fill in all the cracks - they will find a way in. Seriously though - keeping the place spotless will eventually do it. I bought a pack of those bag clips, as they were even getting up in the cupboards. My girlfriend had to move out of her place in Mayfair, as there was a complete infestation. She tried traps, bait, ultra-sonic devices, but to no avail. Once things are that bad, professional help is needed. She was living in an apartment block though, so the whole place would have needed sorting out. I think it was due to the way the rubbish bins were being stored in the basement.

I can highly recommend Croatia. Dubrivnik was fantastic. You could either spend a week there or move North up the Dalmatian coast. 34 degrees dry heat, every day. Fantasic. If you want sandy beaches, then it may not be for you. They are mostly pebbled/rocky.

I'm going to invent a device that makes a clapping noise on sight of a mouse. Genius!

Cleaning products.

Well trading is a little like being in government - you just have too stay out of trouble for your term (typically a year, but longer periods of consistency for head trader - the real money maker). Timing in this business is key to a prosperous career. Unfortunately for Gordon Brown, the mess is just starting unravel (yes, just STARTING)... There is far too much short-sightedness everywhere. Banking, politics, everything. If personal incentives were longer-term, then I'm sure things would improve, but unfortunately human beings are inherently forgetful of cycles over around 8-10 years, so the same mistakes get made over and over again.

Adventure bar. Let's give the place a chance. I'll even put up with the name and sickening looking sign! So, I want to find out who these hot girls were! Are any of them on this forum!!?

Exactly. The (tax) money from the 'People' is supposed to be spent wisely by the 'Government'. This is essentially the problem. If anything though, there should have been tighter controls around debt. 110% mortgages should never have been allowed. Multiple credit cards with crazy limits should never have been allowed. But they were, and now we're picking up the pieces. There were fairly easy controls that could have been put around retail debt. The more complex instruments were merely a derivative of this debt mountain which the government would never have been able to understand anyway (well, neither did the bankers and risk managers!)

Oh, that was the cheapest prize going also - he was clearly there for bragging rights only.
