I hope they enjoy their retirement and you get your clothes back. Anyone looking for another place to take their laundry look no further than His Lordship's on the Lane opposite Moxons. I've been using them for years and the service and quality of their work is always excellent and the staff very friendly.(tu)

Surely you're having a laugh here aren't you Macroban?

I guess that makes him human.

Thanks Sean, but I could probably find it on their website. Actually, I quite like the new Berliner style Observer. But two quality papers is a little too much me when I'm hungover on a Sunday.

No, me neither Sean and I didn't get my copy of the Review as I wanted to read the piece on Pete Townsend. I may have to transfer my allegiences to the Observer. Perish the thought.

I usually tip my barber a couple of quid. The same goes for taxi drivers. Restaurant staff, if the service is good, ten-per-cent of whatever the bill is.

Well said James. Unfortunately there are still certain loathsome people like the aforementioned Richard Littlejohn (Smallprick?) in the Sun who are still living in the 70s and then you have newspapers like the Daily Mail and the Express who are still living in the 1950s FFS, spreading their vile prejudices.

Spot on Keef, well said.(tu)

I've watched it in the past and got terribly addicted but having weaned myself off it this time round I think I'd rather be flayed with a cat o'nine tails than watch the current bunch of morons on BB. Mind you having said that....some people would pay a lot of money for that sort of thing.:(

As their schooldays weren't spent

Who wanted to eat Al Fresco

Friday afternoon friends' birthday drinks down at the Dog, followed by snifter or two in Inside 72, then ate an excellent red snapper down at the Drum, back to '72 for beer and Jack Daniels, cocktails in Black Cherry, then back to the Drum, poured myself into a cab at 2.20am. More of the same on Saturday Sunday: Superglued myself to the sofa with a copy of the Sindy.

Any Americanism or murdering of the English language annoys me and offends my ears. Even when people say "Hi" or "Hiya" instead of "Hello". Also, people constantly saying "know what I mean" or putting "innit" on the end of every sentence, assuming they can string one together in the first place. Ignorant people with little vocabulary or erudition. Blockheads!

Fortunately, I missed them completely but there are a few bombs going off in my head this morning.:)-D

Jays? Common as muck where I am. See 'em all the time.

I like to watch both teams as they both enjoy playing football in the proper manner but I don't think I could take any more of Beckham's tears if they lose, so I'll be backing Real this time around and to be fair to Beckham he deserves it for the way he has come back into form this season.

Speaking as a man who spent 23 years working on The Sporting Life I'd say that gambling is a mugs game and save you're money but if you do have a little disposable income and fancy a bit of a flutter then I'd follow Spadetownboy's excellent advice. Also, I'd get hold of a copy of the Racing Post today as they should have four day cards and the form in there for Monday's meetings and you can swot up on the form. Also get a copy on the day and enjoy yourselves. Best of luck.

I wasn't born anywhere but built and assembled by IKEA. Does that make me Swedish? Seriously though. Born in Kings College Hospital, Camberwell. Mum and dad from Brixton and Upper Norwood. So, south London born and bred. English through and through.

I wouldn't quite say that Sean, I've been a bit too pissed to post these last ten days or so. I really have been a terrible Lush recently. Out of the loop and out of my head. "They tried to make me go to rehab but I said no no no." Will try and make up it up to Hoopers though and if I do I shall make a point getting the beers in. Cheers!:)-D

Hmm..this is all rather lovey dovey isn't it. I have a few favs on here but wouldn't want to offend anyone by naming names and missing others out so in true lovey fashion I'd just like to say I love you all. Very diplomatic methinks.

Popped into my first forum drinks just for an hour last time round and met some lovely people, smiling friendly faces all round, you know who you are. I shall try and make time for the next one although there is a birthday in the family so can't say for sure. :)-D

You could mention it at the Forum drinks tonight. There's is already going to be a book swap, so why not. Good luck.

That's got to be the quickest lounging ever. Never mind keep up the good work and have another pint while you're at it. This is a very important survey and I'm sure it will prove very popular among the pram-pushers first thing Monday morning. As it is, this being Poets Day (piss off early tomorrow's Saturday) they seem to have left their computers at home. Perhaps I could dream up a portable one attached to a buggaboo. We'll see.
