Maybe, but Charter secondary school, in the area, is in the top 10% of schools nationally for results apparently. So there is a viable alternative for the local population. Obviously Charter would be even more over-subscribed if the private school option wasn't available as has been mentioned above but it's food for thought. More state schools is the answer.

I just read in an online article about Boris's fabulous idea to install a countdown system on the greenman at pedestrian crossings, reducing the time to cross by about 6 seconds - that he plans to halve the congestion charging zone next year. Is that the scrapping of the western extension or is he in fact reducing it from the original? Anyone know? What a twit he is.

we've got one near us, sounds like a demented giant wasp buzzing up the road. Damn little two-strokes. Just imagine you're in Europe.

According to my Google moon phase thing it's full right now. Spaceweather says that bits of the debris from the satellite collision are starting to enter the atmosphere so maybe that's what you saw.

wondering that myself Jah, must have missed something.

no, totally against my grain. I don't know what the answer is. Any administration after 10 years is going to be tired and lackadaisical but as Huge put it more eloquently than I could, the last 10 years has seen a lot of positive change. I agree with Sean that the Tories will get in at the next election (oh the short memories) so will probably also vote for, say, the Greens.

It didn't change colour - the pupil is paralyzed and permanently enlarged.

chortle

nobody's mentioned it for nearly a week, why bring it up again?

does do scholarships and bursaries does allow the community use of the pool via swimming clubs is part of the dulwich college foundation school group and therefore owns much of the land locally

Mmmmm, Ian Duncan Smith - wasn't he the one that got caught paying his wife a salary out of public funds........

My computer was doing same thing snorky, after a few months of this behaviour it completely died. Couldn't economically be fixed as it was the 'motherboard' (isn't it always) so had to buy a new one. Beware imminent meltdown.

don't get defensive, Ted Max and I were pointing out it was a wind-up in a light-hearted fashion rather than a nasty fashion.

:p as KK would put it

he's already admitted it is candj - wakey wakey.

Bowie's eyes are the same colour. One pupil is permanently enlarged. The shot with the different coloured eyes is a touch-up.

If you're serious mick then why not choose the child on its individual merits rather than its gender, i.e. send the brightest one to public school and let the thickies rot in a state school with all the rest of the thickie plebs.

He was my idol in the early eighties. I had every album (including a gatefold sleeve of Diamond Dogs which I sold for about a quid a few years later aaaargh!). My bedroom wall was papered with pictures of him and I used to spend hours transcripting the lyrics. Saw him in concert twice and was convinced he'd looked at me *swoon*. Actually camped out all night so we could be first in to the stadium to get to the front ha! After Let's Dance I kind of lost my obsession with him and to be honest know absolutely nothing of what he's produced in the years since then. I still play and love anything from Hunky Dory - Let's Dance. When you watch old clips of him performing live, say on TOTP he can sing the pants of any of the young pretenders. A real performer. He was someone who had the knack (like Madonna) of choosing to work with talented, edgy people of the time.

Quite possibly.

Waitrose have been losing market share steadily over the last few months and are bringing out a 'value range' next week in an attempt to regain some ground. Seems unlikely they will be splashing out on new stores (unfortunately).

must we pigeonhole things

you can try snorky, looks like you won't be alone. original 40 people sick has increased to 400 since the media coverage. Funny that - bit like Sachsgate.

blimey, not one for the veggies. the most exotic thing I can come up with, not eating things that once breathed, is gold leaf.
