I don't understand the burger and lobster concept. If I'm reading it right you pay ?20 and can have either a lobster or a burger. Who in their right mind would pay ?20 for a burger and queue for the privilege?

if franco manca keeps brixton prices, they will be a very welcome addition

On my cycling commute in the last couple of weeks i've noticed a marked improvement in defensive cycling behaviour- i think the message might be getting across. People seem to be taking much more responsibility for their own safety. Shame it's taken so many deaths to do it.

"...... If you are a cyclist capable of > keeping a reasonable speed (more than 15-20mph), > you are far safer in the lane there......" Or, just cycle at a speed more suitable to the volume of traffic around you. This is one of my main bugbears- the impression you get that certain cyclists feel that as in some places they can cycle at 20mph, they have the right to do it everywhere. Regardless of circumstances and location.

It's nice to read sensible comments from regaular cyclists. All cyclists on here should read the two posts above. The only thing in the post above that I find difficult to do myself is overtaking on the right- as it always seems that motorbikes, or other cyclists are flying towards you on my side (the wrong side for them) of the road

swear by these- on my third pair- are half the price of when i first bought them 2 year warranty too http://reviews.cnet.com/headphones/klipsch-image-s4/4505-7877_7-33577358.html http://www.amazon.co.uk/Klipsch-IMAGE-S4-Image-Headphones/dp/B001V9LPT4

The M&S advert appealed greatly since her clothes kept flying off and gratuitously showing her underwear. The JL one at least suggests spending the day with friends is more in keeping with the spirit of Christmas - and that gifts should be thoughtful rather than simply costly and come in bundles.

I guess if the govt did provide the support we'd only end up paying through taxes anyway. This is an interesting read http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/nov/08/poppy-last-time-remembrance-harry-leslie-smith

Where does the poppy money go? I understand the symbolic gesture of wearing a poppy to remember those who died in all conflicts, but don't understand why we pay for it? Why does the government not support veterans etc. surely it's a govt decision to get involved in conflicts in the first place?

I think people that dismiss new things without giving them a chance are twits. Personally; as a music fan I find it useful to get the earliest possible heads up on gig tickets, new releases, early listens, special offers or special editions- or to hear opinions from your favourite musicians, who they're listening to and finding out about new bands/artists that way and from other fans. As a spurs fan it's good to engage with other fans- or to hear opinions from players. As a movie fan it's good to get tweets linking to trailers for new movies, informaton about releases or tweets from your favourite movie stars. As someone interested in news it's exciting to get first hand, live reporting of events, often before any big networks get wind of something. For example, at this summer's riots in Istanbul, a musician I follow happened to be on one of the main streets where it was all happening, hanging out a window live tweeting about it, posting pictures etc. But apart from these selective things, the genius of the thing lies in the fact that as it goes on, you won't need to go looking for information you want, because it finds you. Your network of people you follow, and those that follow you almost self-tailors itself to your needs, through re-tweets etc. It's very simple, but oh so clever.

More or less exactly this.

Done

winding up militant veggies is almost as enjoyable as eating a nice veal steak

I always had the dulwich fox down as a woman, not sure why- the name perhaps. Either way- arguing the toss when knowing you're wrong is one very easy way to make yourself look stupid.

That's a fantastic description of Nick Cave Live! :-) Best front man i've ever seen live.

Well, if they're serving their butter in an earthenware put, I'm DEFINITELY going. Butter served in earthenware is what the area's been crying out for.

If any lucky bugger managed to get tickets for arcade fire at the roundhouse and has a spare that they are wondering what on earth to do with, then if you consider me, I will be your best friend forever!

If the weather forecasts are right, I'd be surprised if any are on this weekend

you should be 4) posting a photo of it on here so we can better answer your questions

Would it be odd for just two adults to go?

Gotta be honest- i prefer a bush to be neatly trimmed. I do have friends however, that prefer a bush left to grow au natural.

He's just a terrible presenter- fits itv's coverage well

"Was hoping to open this up to a proper discussion on casual racism, rather than silly/juvenile jibes which can be the nature of this forum." not sure there's anything to discuss tbh
