How much was the beer in this presidential suite?

That sounds familiar. You aren't really my wife in disguise are you *Bob*?

Jeremy I think it just means ?had a wash?. Unlike the traditional East Dulwich, not brushed his hair for 3 days or covered in baby puke looks

I blame the big pub companies and pub owning breweries. Firstly because it is the most obvious conclusion and secondly because evil, corporate juggernauts forcing out the little man and exploiting the consumer polarise the issue nicely and give me somewhere to focus my resentment.

I?ve said this before but ED has higher percentage people with a slightly more alternative outlook on life than areas like Clapham and Balham do. I?m not talking skinny jeans and pink hair ?alternative? but a lot of people are the sorts who actually chose for themselves where they would like to live rather than just flock to where everyone else is. There is a certain psychology involved in that and it is evident in the character of the area. If a place like +venture wants to attract them they will have to take a slightly different approach to what they do in places like Clapham. This is a generalisation though and whichever way this bar goes I think it will have customers. They may be of the tarted-up or house selling persuasion but everyone needs somewhere to drink.

I would really like to know why that is. 5 years ago a pint of larger in a pub was about ?2.50 maximum and 6 cans in a shop were ?5. Today a pint is ?3.50 upwards and 6 cans in a shop are still ?5. Something is going on there and whatever it is I don?t like it.

It was already rammed packed when I walked by on the way home from work (about 7ish) and looked in. The door troll gave me a dirty look so I walked on. Surprising as I was still in my monkey suit. It's normally only after I've been home and changed into my natural state of disrepair that bouncers give me dirty looks. I'm still going to give it a go some time though.

I'll try to find it tomorrow on my work pc. Should still be there hidden in-between some spreadsheets or some such.

Who is this "us" you talk of Quids? Is there a handshake? I actually think I did post a slaughtered lamb sign on a thread a few months back.

What like, nah nah nah-nah nah?

I knew it. You're all fing nuts!

I went last year and as it was my first pogues gig I found it well worth it. They are of course a complete mess but it was good none the less.

?We are a forward thinking customer focused business with a philosophy firmly grounded in the relationship between new wallpaper and beer prices.?

Me and the entire 3 footed population of the uk.

There are like 3 people who live on Shetland. 1 of them happens to be fat and it kinda blows their chances.

Are we talking more boxes than people

Yeah you see that last line is where he goes from making a valid point to being an opinionated, look how cool I am (but never really was or has any hope of being), know it all (never actually got it in the first place) music journo.

It?s not very often I read anything by a music journalist and agree with it. But this I do: http://blogs.guardian.co.uk/music/2008/08/will_byers_school_of_rock.html

Bump

Shoot a werewolf with it.

Doesn?t that just mean, ?We?re not going to try to do too much here because there is not enough space on our wires to plan it all properly.?

63% of statistics are made up on the spot.

Before moving forward proactively you should commission a research strategy to develop recommendations setting out a vision, brand position and communications strategy as well as a number of KPIs to monitor the performance and effectiveness of stabbing your eye with a biro. While you are at it draft a separate project charter to take forward any resulting issues and clarify the division of responsibilities between stakeholders.

That was the first time I saw proper snow too. I was working for the fire brigade in Southwark at the time and went for a walk up to the city at lunchtime. Seeing the city covered in snow was awesome. I naively thought that every winter was going to be like that.
