You're probably right but I've tried not to list private residences and only municipal or office buildings. Otherwise it turns into a sort of perod property bukkake where we all jizz on anyone living in a new build. However.... http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=dog+kennel+hill&ll=51.466191,-0.08534&spn=0.000003,0.002106&hnear=Dog+Kennel+Hill,+London+Borough+of+Southwark,+London+SE22,+United+Kingdom&gl=uk&t=m&z=19&layer=c&cbll=51.466251,-0.085406&panoid=7utUaVuz-w8GG1exNKcTag&cbp=12,258.35,,0,1.26 That Eclair woman has a lot to answer for. Utter carbuncle.
  2. Crown House http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?q=google+maps+grove+vale&ll=51.461294,-0.072312&spn=0.000027,0.016844&safe=on&hnear=Grove+Vale&gl=uk&t=m&z=16&layer=c&cbll=51.461335,-0.072025&panoid=zSJb_7jXVkVvGKqAGsHvhg&cbp=12,168.88,,0,2.52
  3. Anyone got any money on Gavin Rees for tonight? Big underdog but he's won at this level before (and lost too mind you). I think he's a brave but limited fighter so will get stopped late on, probably 9 or 10. Broner, despite being unlikeable is just too good.
  4. Very cool? Shit scary.
  5. Wow, one BBC documentary from "some years ago" is your source of information on this scourge? And it's us that are sheltered? You're tilting at windmills here.
  6. And the answer to neither of those problems is an ATOS assessment.

Can you think of a job suitable for someone suffering from severe depression and mania on a regular basis and high levels of physical pain upon movement? I'm struggling but I'm sure you can enlighten us.....
  8. That's Sydenham for you...
  9. The very same and after a near two year hiatus he's rejoins the fray. And what brings him out of the woodwork but that menace to the very fabric of our society, the urban fox. Of course, Camberwell has a better class of fox.
  10. Ooh, I'm a Bright Eyes fan but hadn't seen that advertised. I like the Barbican for grown up gigs too. Glad he was on form as he has a reputation for being a bit.....mercurial.
  11. Everyone is ignoring the bigger issue here. Alan Dale is BACK!

Especially given the thoughtful and interesting comments that preceded it.
  13. I had a friends who tried a backdrop and never came back up. Not sure I've ever laughed so hard....
  14. Superb mate. I love a bit of Northern Soul. Still used to be good nights in Leeds when I was student. I could never master most of those dance moves though....
  15. Scotland 21 Italy 19 France 33 Wales 25 Ireland 15 England 27
  16. Rather enjoyed 13 Assasins (currently on Sky). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/13_Assassins
  17. I had you down as a Bird on a Wire fan, Bob?
  18. The first Lethal Weapon is pretty good. We Were Soldiers makes a decent stab at the futility of Vietnam. But otherwise, utter guff.
  19. CNBC lists the following as most profitable: 15. Lord of the Rings 1008% return 14. Mrs Doubtfire 1160% return 13. Something about Mary 1194% 12. The Hangover 11. Jaws 10. Ghost 9. Home Alone 8. The Passion of Christ 7. American Beauty 6. Star Wars 5. Grease (good shout Piers - a whopping 1975% return on its $20million (adjusted) budget) 4. Pretty Woman 3. Slumdog Millionaire 2. E.T. 1. My Big Fat Greek Wedding!? What? Really?! It cost just $6million to make and yet reaped a huge $369million at the box office. That's a return of 6150% fact fans. As I was typing that list out I was thinking it was pretty good actually (bar Passion of Christ) and I'd happily watch all of those. But that number one just ruined it. Gah.
  20. Gosh, their rail travel seems even more Draconian than ours in fraud prevention: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-21294241
  21. Unsmoked back. 3 rashers. With a fried egg. Brown sauce. Thick white bloomer toasted on a griddle pan. Enamel plate. Coffee.
  22. All the men own machine guns from national service. You could discuss that? Get them to take you hunting or fishing. Amazing nature when it's not covered in snow.
  23. As in the "spoils of war".... cool.

  25. Funny - it's always my arguments that are lazy.... Also funny, I know those people. I know creatives, I know engineers. I went to school and uni with them. Many are struggling. But it's not because of their tax rates. Most are struggling to find work at all or the sales for their businesses. I would imagine a triple dip recession and zero growth don't help. Third funny - good 'ol socialist France has an economy growing at a faster rate than we do. Bon chance.
