Such language is unlike you Tillie! I know exactly what you mean. I don?t know how to react to this. My first instinct is that it must be bigged up sensationalist bollocks on the part of the beeb. I mean it can?t be true?. Surely?

*Hands Anna a vomit bag for the journey home*

*Produces Maltese Falcon from rain coat and nods at Mockney* *Contemplates that he could be wrong* *Hand powered digital camera perhaps?* *Contemplates the middle distance some more*

First thing you?ve said all day that I agree with Maurice.

*Doffs fedora at Mockney & Anna* *Pours large bourbon* *lights another Gauloises and stares off into the middle distance* ?still in black and white

Are you familiar with the term rehabilitation?

When I start using language like this I realise that I am getting a bit too wound up. Maximay I understand that from your, very unfortunate perspective it is less easy to be magnanimous than it is from mine. I apologise for being insensitive towards that.

Enters, smoking a Gauloises. .... in black and white.

That?s just puerile. I have met her yes but I don?t know her very well. I vote on issues not perceptions. Which I suppose distinguishes me from the vast majority of the reality show devouring, corporate cock sucking, lobotomised population. Will I vote for the Green Party? No probably not.

I don?t think anyone who has shown support for Amanda on here is going to vote for her because of the story she has to tell. They are showing their admiration for someone who has the guts to go out there and try to make a difference and are trying to convey to her that she can and should carry on despite her past. What the fuck have you ever done for this world?

Religion or culture is not a good enough excuse for cruelty to your fellow man.

I have only lived in England for 6 years and I quite often meet locals who have seen considerably less of this island than I have. I do however like getting away to warmer climes. I'm lucky though as I have family in Turkey, South Africa, Australia and California so I always have an excuse and accommodation.

Cheap booze Jah. Cheap booze.

(I know that sounds like a cop-out but it is unfortunately true in this instance.)

I don?t think anybody, least of all Amanda, is trying to justify or validate anything she did.

lol.>:D

Not exactly a euphemism this, more of a figure of speech, but I just heard someone say it: ?There is an elephant in this room and everyone is refusing to see it.? No there isn?t you silly tart. Have you ever seen an elephant? They?re hard to miss. Great big grey things. Smell like manure. Daft! Ok maybe not so daft but it just got to me. Not least because the only reason I think she wanted the elephant out of the room was so that it didn?t obscure her blue sky thinking. There is an idiot in this room.

I respect you even more now Amanda. If you wanted to you could probably make this work for you. Although I suspect you are too much of a straight shooter to go down that route. If however the story had revealed that you used to be an estate agent or a recruitment consultant?

Sorry. I will stop taking America?s name in vain.

Yeah and I know you're not going to believe this but Jesus wasn't even American.

Estate Agent when refering to pin-striped tit-cockers

Intelligence gathered on the ED Curry Club?s Fact-Finding Mission 1. ? Sean likes to arrive first so that he has time to pour a pint over himself before everyone else gets there. ? The front room at the EDT has nice tiles but bad acoustics. ? In most of our experiences Tandoori Nights is probably the best Indian in ED so the benchmark has now been set for the others. ? Peckhamgatecrasher learnt: Curry = Good ? Everyone else agreed. Curry = Good ? It?s a bit cosy in there. ? Mocha cocktails at Liquorice = Good. (even if grown men standing around drinking cocktails is a bit girly) ? They were just like the White Russians The Dude drinks in the Big Lebowski get over it. ? Brendan has some issues about girly drinks. ? Lots of pretty girls go to Liquorice. ? Liquorice closes at about 11:30 on a Thursday. Or was that 12:30? Or 12? ........ When did they close again?

Yeah MP's article. Snorky was actually making sense but I?m not particularly interested in sense on this topic as threads about the property market on this forum are as frequent and pointless as E4?s continuous re-runs of Friends. I am eternally grateful to Mockney?s article for introducing me to the term ?pin-striped tit-cockers?. I think I have a new favorite term. I?m going to venture forth into the office and try it out. *Looks down at the suit he is wearing* Oh dear? :-$

I forgot to pick up a copy this morning but will try at lunch. That is if any of the newsagents around Westminster sell the SLP.

>:D< That made me laugh out loud! People are staring.
