I never said I liked her or her utopia, my comment regarding the weight of the new world was tongue in cheek. I was picking up on your assumption of her political persuasion, which is irrelevant. I know it was a joke though so I'm not getting worked up about it. I liked last night's one although the little vignette with the 2 hard geezers that the doctor dispatched was a little pointless. I suppose it was to reinforce the strength of the group. Max is a beast isn't he?

I did the boat, it was great.

she's got the weight of the new world on her shoulders

OMG I went to Adventure bar on Saturday - I had to leave after one. MOR Rock music (Bon Jovi and Elton John* to name 2 artists) played at such a volume conversation was impossible and lots of over-excited 20 somethings. Nice Margherita but not as strong as the one I then had in Licorish. sorry - off topic. New bar eh? Just what we need\!! * I do like some EJ but not what Adventure bar was playing

I think the knee-jerk reaction was more an indication of her mental instability under pressure rather than her political leanings

maybe they are trying to encourage the still plenty of people who don't bother to recycle.

"all the non-veggies always want some too." That's always the problem when there are two options on the table, the effing meat-eaters scran all the veggie option too, and obviously the veggie's can't retaliate. I've done a couple of Burn's nights with a meat and a veggie haggis (I know I know, it's not really haggis but damn tasty) and the veggie one gets scoffed by the meat eaters. as we say in our gaff "oo, can we have a bit of the veggie?" the answer - NO FECK OFF

long way to go for 4/5 days. For that length of time you'd be better going to the Canaries or Morocco IMO. I've been to Dubai but it was about 12 years ago and I think it is quite different now so I can't really comment.

Maybe they are geared up to present a passable Sunday roast but the meals we had last Saturday were dire. Starter: Waldorf salad with pear and leaves, so not in fact a Waldorf salad, had no pear in evidence. Scampi - rock hard pellets Main: Fishcakes - much like the scampi, same colour breadcrumbs (bright orange) and also rock hard. Lamb Stew - school dinners Battered haddock and chips was a small portion with far too much batter. The wine was brought to the table already opened. They'd run out of candles, the fire was not stoked up. Other minor irritations. I'm sorry Allfornun, I know it's Nunhead and you want to stick up for it and it looks like several of the East Dulwich folk have tried to support it also but mediocre it is.

Yes, I went there last Saturday night and had a dismal evening. Food mediocre to awful, restaurant empty, waitress nice but dim. After reading the rave reviews on here I was sorely disappointed and won't be going back. Shame.

Did anyone watch this last night? I thought it was quite good, if a little unbelievable at times. I remember being traumatised by the series as a child in the seventies (the rabies episode stands out) and wonder how many of the plot lines this series will borrow from the original. Don't know if they are merely nodding to the original or recreating it. I intend to traumatise my eldest by letting him watch it.

ta looov

thanks guys, belated HB to CWALD.

ooo are they? Been a while since I perused the choccy counter.

happy birthday.

I think Simon Webbe may have nicked them

you're like so materialistic guys

Anyone remember Double Deckers? I had a crush on them for a while. TT - I'm with you on the Ripples

Yes I remember that. Was it completely random though? I never did find out any details.

He's not that entertaining though, I find the ones who can dance and are improving more entertaining. I suspect it's his parter who most people like to look at! the lovely, shiny Christina.

I love it. I am torn between getting annoyed about the lovely Jon still being in which means other people who are obviously much better at dancing have to go, and finding the whole thing very funny. He's not going to win but could end up in the final, I suppose it doesn't make that much difference in the end whether he stays to the end, the others would have been knocked out at some point. Arlene was on R4 this morning, it just all makes for great publicity.

why don't you call the Brixton Ritzy and ask them, they may have more idea.

I never go into the butchers or the deli so I can't comment. But I always have very pleasant and cheery service from other establishments e.g. fish shop and Franklin's new gaff. But you know what, I went to a shop in _____________* and the staff were not nearly ingratiating enough, I think I'll join the local forum and denounce the place as far too up its own arse for the likes of me and my salary. * Insert name at random
