Just clicked you link Fear ?n Boozing, got distracted as my phone rang and treated the entire office to some old school judas priest.

I knew they were up to something untoward in there. ::o

Does anyone else think that Mel Gibson?s remake of The Life of Brian isn?t nearly as funny as the original?

Well it seems obvious from what has been said here that ED needs just enough coffee shops to keep the baby-buggies out the pubs so the rest of us can smoke guilt free for the next 22 days 9 hrs and 35 minutes.

No no the point in recycling is for all the companies who provided the services to make a big fat profit. ;-)

Re. Going to the recycling dump. This is assuming that, like me, you do something as environmentally unfriendly as drive car. What about the people who live far away from the dump and don?t drive?

Ha ha. Working from "home" today?

Am I the only one who is uncomfortable with the idea of the council being given another power to fine people for a transgression of rules which it has complete carte blanche over? Especially when inevitably these rules will end up being enforced in part by a private contractor who, surprise, surprise, will have targets to meet. I?m all for recycling and increasing the amount that we do it but the free thinking dissident in me resents some authority flexing its muscles over an issue like this, especially when their motives are political and financial rather than moral. (I?m normally a bit more diplomatic about things but I?m hungover and tired this morning and not happy about being at work)

And a chippy whose peas were just slosh

There is a 176 appreciation society on facebook which I?ve found rather amusing.

Top drawer! Finally a topical thread with some real substance to it. >:D

Sorry :-$

Hmmm? Is all this fish you lot are scoffing coming from sustainable stocks? Perhaps our local traders should set up some kind of karma offsetting scheme where, say two mugs of fair-trade coffee allows you to have one portion of line caught swordfish? ;-) WARNING! Do not take me seriously. Anyway I?m more of a warm chicken salad in pita man myself.

Sorry to seem stupid here but who the hell is this White Stuff and what do they want?

Was only a matter of time wasn't it.

I don't really have a stance. Was just saying what I know about it.

The clicketty click of an office full of fingers wizzing through cyberspace.

I recently wrote a series of articles on the redevelopment in King?s Cross (It falls under Camden Council) It seems Camden has taken the decision to become a commercial rather than residential borough. It is especially trying to reduce the amount of social housing it provides in favour of commercial property. More than half of the social housing it currently provides does not meet the Decent Homes Standard laid out by the government. So they either desperately need the money or are using this as an excuse to squeeze out council tenants. Either way there is big money in turning anything close to central London into office space and from what has happened at King?s Cross the council can be pretty brutal when it comes to pushing through planning permission to demolish listed buildings.

Bloody ?ell! Now they should put THAT in the MBA text books. :-S

the music shop by the station has quite a good selection of guitar music books. Probably got a book of the Clash's songs.

Did anyone catch the Daily Mail this morning? Apparently the logo was designed by illegal immigrants in an elaborate benefit fraud plot, there is real evidence that the subversive imagery is aiding the spread of HIV and house prices in rural Surrey have already dropped after gypsies started flying the logo from their caravans.

Actually hang on. Let me go back on my last post. It is in fact a silly idea. What's the point of this forum then?

That's a great idea. I would do it right away but I'm trying to have a facebook free day today. Completely cold turkey. Not sure if I'll last.

No it was just cramp. I need to take a walk.

Hmmm?. I think I may have just developed photosensitive epilepsy.
