Bottle of Magners is normally about ?4. It would have to be some pretty special cider for ?7:50.

I think you will find it is pronounced ?on-velope?

I bought one from a shop on Rye lane for ?5 about 4 years ago.

Oh come on Mockney. That?s just the plot from Rambo III. And I think you will find that the currently accepted term is fluffy-wuffy.

Hey I?ve just noticed that wankers has become censored. Check it out, wankers, wankers, wankers.

To be fair there actually are some pretty decent boozers in the city. They?re just full of wankers. If you can catch them on a quiet night or you know of the handful that open on Saturdays they can be good if you fancy a change of scenery. Market Porter aint the City though.

You?re all such a bunch of pendants.

Westminster's just as bad Sean. For differnet reasons but it still sucks a big load of donkey cock.

Because it's easy.

I sympathise, I still struggle with the stationery/stationary thing. I can never remember which is which.

Sorry I'm a bit prickly this morning. Actually stuff it. Have this the lot of you. >:D<

Good point but didn't they initialy grab power after being given military support by the Americans during the cold war?

I amuses me that in pubs like the CPT or the Castle people wait their turn at the bar. When you?re out in The City Of London, this bastion of British financial strength, being a gentleman gets you nowhere. It is a shite state of affairs indeed when a once proud country?s entire economic existence revolves around this pit of wankery. Financial screwups aside what happened to human decency and good taste? Dunkirk my arse. They built a wine bar out of our oars years ago.

I wonder if this woman had to leave Afghanistan because of British and American military action destabilising the country.

I?m going for beer in the city after work on Friday. Does the current economic climate mean that I?m not going to have to push past as many fucknuts as usual to get to the bar?

Yeah because allowing vast amounts housing stock to be in the hands of profiteering private landlords was a god idea. I would say that anyone who felt vindicated in profiting from the property fuckup (sorry ?boom?) can?t really be all indignant about this sort of situation.

It's got this guy right and he?s like all overly neurotic middle class but also a complete looser. He shares a shitty little flat with this friend of his who is also a neurotic looser but somehow like completely narcissistic. They end up in these uncomfortably repressed but often depraved situations. It?s a bit like bumping into your nan at an S&M club.

If the drivers weren?t such cunts and the general public had an intuitive understanding of the concepts ?lady? and ?gentleman? the bus would be a far more preferable way to travel and a lot more people would choose it over their cars.

Once again satire asks the questions that have been sitting in the back of all of our minds. This from the Dailymash, ?THE government is to invest ?50bn of your money in British banks so they can lend it back to you with interest. The historic move is being hailed as a lifeline for the financial system as long as nobody asks too many questions?. ? Meanwhile, Emma Bradford, a sales manager from Bath, said: "Why doesn't the government just give my money to me so I can buy stuff from businesses who will then make a profit and put it in a bank?" But Mr Darling insisted: ?Shut up.??

What's a 45" plasma? It sounds impressive.

Listen if all this guff isn?t already about boobs it should quickly become so. Unless of course we already have a thread about boobs.

Well the first difference is that squirrels are squirrels and rats are rats. They?re both rodents but fill very different niches. Rats are scavengers and will eat anything whereas squirrels are quite selective about what they eat. Because of this, rats live naturally on the ground and in holes where rubbish gathers and squirrels live naturally in tree where they can find nuts. For both these reasons squirrels are a lot less likely to sneak into your house and crawl up your drainpipe. Therefore we like squirrels and not rats. Squirrels are also fluffy and unlike rats don?t always get type cast as villains in cartoons.

I have to say I agree with Jeremy. The day I can say that I no longer have to travel by London bus will be a very happy one indeed. What I hate the most is that rocking and jerking around. What really gets me is that the drivers do this on purpose. I didn?t think so at first. Always giving people the benefit of the doubt I assumed that these (fully automatic, drive by wire, sophisticated urban buses) were for some inexplicable reason very, very difficult to control properly. Then I started to notice that every once in a while you would get a driver that on the same route somehow manages to pilot the thing through heavy traffic without so much as breaking a single pensioner?s hip. There?s that and the fact that when I greet them in the morning the average driver at best won?t even raise it?s vacant, morose countenance to acknowledge my presence or else it will just scowl at me aggressively. Consequently I now have a deep and uncharacteristic repugnance for a profession that as a boy I always saw as exciting and noble. And don?t give me this, ?It?s a difficult stressful job.? bollocks. We all deal with difficult stressful situations and some very unpleasant people on a day to day basis. It doesn?t give us licence to treat everyone we encounter professionally like shit. In most of our cases that would cost us our jobs.

We?re all screwed. Don?t listen to them with their ?rational explanations? and ?sensible considerations?. Don?t even bother running to the hills. Save your breath. You?re going to need it. Do you know what is going to happen to all these level headed sceptics after the apocalypse? Without the Guardian and the BBC to tell them what to think they will end up wondering the wasteland until they form into feral packs. That?s what?s going to happen. Have you not seen Mad Max? The next thing you know they have surrounded your compound and are demanding you send out butternut squash and all of last year?s Cabernet Sauvignon.
