I was in there Saturday night Sean but didn't eat, although I must say the food smelt wonderful, spent most of the time outside as they now have a no smoking policy. Must eat in there soon though.

No, no no. I hate rats. I'm happy being a lounge lizard thank you.

Oh blimey, poor you Mogs. Nothing worse than a drunk when you're stone cold sober.

Good idea. What are you having?

I'm glad I'm not the only one thinking on the same lines CitizenEd.

Yeah, life's a bitch and then you die.

Damn you!!! I am gagging for a pint. Only six and half hours to go. Grrr...(6)

I'm a wasted talent and a talented waster.

I simply must see that Mockney. I love anything by Ken Loach.

You lucky smug "working from home" bastards!!! I've only just started work today, stuck in my eyrie high up in Canary bloody Wharf, and I won't be finished until 8 facking pm!!! Bah! to you all. It's just not cricket.(6)

Although it's probably 20 years since I read it, have you tried George Orwell's Homage To Catalonia Mockney?

Tillie, I can't see what you're so worried about. You're a fine looking woman, don't worry yourself about superficialities.

Good job I wasn't there then. I could make a plastic surgeon a rich man.

Is anyone here a re-reader? Are there any books you've enjoyed so much that you've returned to them again and again? Or do you feel life is too short as there are so many other books out there to be enjoyed? I can only think of a dozen or so books I've read more than once and they are...off the top of my head: - Saturday Night And Sunday Morning - Alan Silitoe Billy Liar - Keith Waterhouse A Clockwork Orange - Anthony Burgess The Master And Margarita - Mikhail Bulgakov Crime And Punishment - Fyodor Dostoyevsky The Strange Life Of Ivan Osokin - P D Ouspensky The Scarlet And Black - Stendhal The Beautiful And The Damned - F Scott Fitzgerald Down And Out In Paris And London - George Orwell Animal Farm - George Orwell Lord Of The Flies - William Golding Keith Richards, The Unauthorised Biograghy - Victor Bockris I'm sure there's a few more but can't think of them at the moment. Anyway, anyone else a re-reader?

Bloody cowards!

No it isn't. It's crap.

Dear Catgirl, I nearly died of boredom reading Child In Time.

Wishful thinking Domitianus?

Must be the only restaurant on Lordship Lane that I haven't eaten in. I can't say I'm a great lover of Mexican food, so it just hasn't appealed to me. My sister and brother-in-law went in there last week though and said it was pretty good, especially the Margaritas but that ain't saying much.

Too close the Harvester 400 yards up the road and please God, that's gotta go too.

So, do feel free to lounge with the rest of us lizards.

What's the D.U.C?

Count Basie Orchestra on triangle.

Doesn't bother me. I'll bash away at anything.

I can't see anything pretentious in it at all Keef. Call me old fashioned but I don't think people jam enough these days, it's just a bit of fun, nothing serious, you don't have to be some egocentric muso showing off your licks to enjoy a jam.
