I have Ireland for the Triple Crown already which will be decided next week. But have now added France for the Grand Slam as they are 4/1 which I thought was generous? They rarely lose to Ireland and will surely beat Scotland. I think that means it down to whether they can beat Wales in Cardiff on Friday night.

Yes, go away.

It's just the money Celtic want. Nothing else in Englan interests them. So back in your box.

I like to think fans are different and everyone is an individual. Chelsea had a national front element from what I hear and had a combat 18 element which is placing them in an awkward right wing position. No class with that element for sure but im sure they have decent fans too.

I think he might.

Jose Mourinho would love to see Celtic playing in the Premiership. The Chelsea boss has won titles in England, Italy, Portugal and Spain but knows that few clubs have the magic of Celtic. With the second biggest ground in Britain Celtic are ideally placed to add to the 'Premiership brand' a unique combination of history, passion and drama. Stars such as Lionel Messi, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Clarence Seedorf have gone on record with their admiration of all things Celtic with the Chelsea boss in no doubt that the hoops would bring a new dimension to the Premiership. "Ive thought a few times over the years about Celtic moving down to England," he told The Sun. "When I have been in England I have asked my colleagues why Celtic are not playing in the Premier League. They are a big club, with a big support and a famous history. "They had a strong run last season in the Champions League, but they will always be limited because competition does not seem to be there for them up in Scotland. "It wouldn't be easy to make it happen, the problem would be an agreement with teams who would not want to drop out of the leagues down here.

Couple of drinks in Franklins and then Tandoori Nights which was excellent. You can't beat a curry for romance. Congrats Jeremy.

"It can't be long before there are no affordable areas left in London at all, but nobody can afford to move out and commute in either" Except that the prices reflect what people CAN afford. The problem is it's a bit of a ponzai scheme as the prices being paid by the purchaser gives the vendor a massive deposit on his next house so he can then pay the massive price being asked on his next purchase so the money moves the market. It ends only when the prices become unaffordable and it hasn't reached that stage yet but when it does a sellers market very very quickly becomes a buyer's market. If you want to cash in do it now.

Glad to hear it's worked out ratty.

Maybe it's a subject of a new thread but I often think those who do well is based upon the fact that society rewards the more interesting and capable people. To some extent you will do well in business if you get on well with people and can interact on their level. The middle class being bland is not how it is. Disclaimer: I'm bland myself I guess, but that's my own issue.

Still think Franklins front bar was your best option MB. So much so that I'm going there tonight for a quiet pint with the missus.

That house I bought had been valued in 1990 and was worth the same when I bought it in 1997. It hadn't moved. After this price rise ultimately finishes, there will be a long period before confidence returns and there will at some stage be a buying opportunity when prices stagnate and wages rise. It won't suit everyone's timing but I have no fears for the teenagers of today. They will probably pick up reasonably priced property again in 10 or 12 years time at the start of the next bubble.

LondonMix Wrote: > > I know this isn?t as interesting as just moaning > endlessly about how unfair it all is though? Good point well made. But it goes to the heart of the OP - the mention of "this area" as if its something special is just misguided - its the same everywhere, or worse. If you have 20 pages of people implying a lie, then you have to show them the facts and the facts are that there are few areas in or close to zone 2 that are cheaper than ED.

LM - I still disagree I'm afraid. This 2155 sq feet 5 bed http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-42774250.html is 1.675m and would I reckon be 1.2/1.3 on a normal ED road http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/property-44716583.html this ED one 2142 sq ft for example On this basis ED is a good 15%+ lower than Clapham prices. That's what I have been told a number of times recently and it seems to be the case.

Basically what you wanted was a pub that's not doing well enough to be v busy on a Sunday afternoon. Not too many of those around. Perhaps we should be grateful.

They are all on their own, a bunch of loners loving the curry vibe.

I thought you had that pasta thingy down to a v.

No - my search was for 2 beds only - there are 16 of them over ?700k in SW4. ED has one. http://www.rightmove.co.uk/property-for-sale/find.html?locationIdentifier=OUTCODE%5E2517&minPrice=700000&minBedrooms=2&maxBedrooms=2&displayPropertyType=flats&oldDisplayPropertyType=flats&includeSSTC=true&_includeSSTC=on&index=10
