  1. Oh be sensible. No one has the right to buy anything by virtue of their birthplace. It has more to do with greed and social climbing and the constant sliming up the property ladder in order to achieve, what? Brings out the worst in people as you lot have just proved.
  2. Interesting use of the word ?community? Maurice. An individual?s value to a community and involvement and acceptance therein does not hinge on their ability to afford a house. Which is precisely why London is filed with people who are in general decent people but treat each other with suspicion. I think what you wanted to say was ?bunch of houses in the same area with random people living in them?.
  3. We looked after a friend?s 10 week old pug last night. Lovely little thing but he didn?t half snore during the night. Get yourself a pug and then blame it on the dog.
  4. Gum bugs me. It is one of my grumpy old man complaints. It fouls up the pavements all over this city. At least fag butts can be swept away. Oh and all the Irish people I know aren't actually green. Despite what it says on wikipedia and in the high school text books. They are a kind of pinky colour and change to letterbox red when they go on holiday in Africa.
  5. I will wear a fedora, sunglasses and a fake moustache. Each time I order I will wear a different combination of these cunning disguises.
  6. If I am not mistaken Dulwich College is a school which gives scholarships to pupils who excel in certain sports (rugby being one of them) so it is probably one of the schools in the country that is more likely to have ex pupils in the national team.
  7. Right that?s it. I shall go there tonight and drink 5 of them. Like a man! I do hope they are served with those sweet little umbrellas in the glass.
  8. Ever tried a zombie in Black Cherry? They have stared back at me from the menu many a time but so far I have resisted the temptation.
  9. Jasper Fforde - Lost in a Good Book That and a Preacher comic.
  10. Or in Wales for that matter. Other countries that have international rugby sides include Spain, Portugal, Italy, Canada, USA, Namibia, Tonga, Fiji, Samoa, Georgia, Japan, Romania, Belgium, Botswana. And probably many more.
  11. Just the thing for cracking open when you get home late from the pub with your friends and then necking the whole thing indiscriminately with various mixers.

A few years back I got hit by a cyclist who ran the red light at the pedestrian crossing outside Waterloo station. Didn?t kill me but it bloody hurt like fuck
  13. I think there is something to the argument that young people behave badly because they feel that there is no future and place in society for them. In my late teens I hit a point where I could no longer pay for my education (this being a necessity in South Africa) and for a couple of years found myself feeling like there was no future for me and that where I was, was where I was going to be forever. I therefore felt no responsibility towards myself and the society in which I lived and this led to me behaving very badly indeed and doing some insanely reckless and dangerous things. Although none of them involved aggression towards other people. Although in the UK isn?t the opportunity to get an education, at least theoretically, within everyone?s grasp?
  14. There seems to have been quite a bit of trouble around the Plough area this weekend. An attack at costcutter and then this mugging. I also noticed some cops apprehending some kids at the bus stop on Saturday morning. I wonder if they are somehow related or the same group of kids.
  15. Sorry Snorky. That was perhaps a bit over the top.
  16. Oh well. I guess I?m going to have to think of some other excuse to buy that leather jacket with the spikes on it.
  17. Not that I want to be judgmental or anything but it takes a particularly sick type of individual to willingly want to cause unnecessary harm to any animal. Feral cats can be a public health and environmental problem and like rats or mice need to be controlled in a humane way but this ?hating cats? business just displays a very unedifying regress into the more depraved, vindictive side of human nature, the part that gets satisfaction from hurting things weaker than you. All thinly disguised as some sort of valid objection to an animal that has been domesticated and part of human civilization of thousands of years.
  18. So when it all goes tits up are we going to get plunged into a post apocalyptic, Mad Max style world where the fashion is all leather, skullls and big hair and our cars are covered in spikes and guns and powered by methane refined from pig poo? You have to admit it would be pretty cool. I think I may start stocking up on weaponry and biker gear.
  19. Brilliant! One thing I love about EDF get-togethers is the distinct lack of those hellish ?property market? conversations.
  20. Yeah they would have to actually dig it up unless cats' hygiene standards have dropped since I was a lad.

  22. Yes Ant. We did it with a Siamese cat we had when I was growing up.
  23. But there's nothin' so lonesome, so dull or so drear Than to stand in the bar of a pub with no beer
  24. If you condition your cat to only use a litter box when they are young then move the litter box into the garden, then after a while take the box away but put cat-litter down in area where the box was and gradually stop doing it ? the cat will then only use that part of the garden.
  25. I would rather have my garden smelling of cat poo than lion poo!
