M&M world WTF?

I'm married to a foreigner, so we get lots of visitors coming over and asking what to do and where to go. I like to specialise in telling them what NOT to do. What bits of London do you find especially crap? My best places to avoid are Borough Market on a Saturday and Piccadilly Circus on any day of the week.

This. The speech she gave post Queenie meeting was the most deluded nonsense I've ever heard. I think she read out the victory speech and hoped no one noticed. In my opinion (worthless, I know), she and the likes of Davis, IDS and co. treated the electorate with such contempt that this was inevitable. Brexit means Brexit, strong and stable, all out of the "shut up and let the big people get on with it" textbook. Arrogant beyond belief. As a window into the Mayfair club Tory heartland we even got the bring back Foxhunting nonsense. Yeah, unite the country, dicks. Strong and Stable, my arse.

Are Swifts immigrants or resident non doms?

From nesting birds to UKIP in 10 posts. Impressive and hilarious.

The Shipping Forecast. Seamus Heaney. Dogger, Rockall, Malin, Irish Sea: Green, swift upsurges, North Atlantic flux Conjured by that strong gale-warning voice, Collapse into a sibilant penumbra. Midnight and closedown. Sirens of the tundra, Of eel-road, seal-road, keel-road, whale-road, raise Their wind-compounded keen behind the baize And drive the trawlers to the lee of Wicklow. L?Etoile, Le Guillemot, La Belle H?l?ne Nursed their bright names this morning in the bay That toiled like mortar. It was marvellous And actual, I said out loud, ?A haven,? The word deepening, clearing, like the sky Elsewhere on Minches, Cromarty, The Faroes.

There was a "club" of old print reps that used to meet in The Hope in Smithfield. It was called the 11 before 11, yep 11 pints before 11 am. Most succeeded but then most are dead now.

Mwahahahaha! Nope, not at all. 2016 has been a horrible year, full of political turmoil and unexpected deaths, even The hammers had a good 5 months. Well it's over, normality is back and West Ham have returned to being reassuringly shite, expect planetary realignment soon.

Here http://aifiorinyc.com/menus/dinner_menu Possibly one of the best meals I've ever had. For down and dirty in Brooklyn try Roberta's. Terrific pizza out front, Michelin starred restaurant out back. Hipster heaven/hell depending on your outlook. Contrary to the above post (sorry) avoid Times square like the plague.

The answer is > never censorship- it's better arguments Whilst I broadly agree with this, freedom of speech comes with responsibility. "Enemies of the State" was a deliberate attempt to incite disorder and hatred. The DM needs to be called on this and if it means they lose out financially, then good, it's not going to change their journalistic outlook but it may make them act in a more measured way.
