Sun and Doves coverage is probably ha,mpered by licensing laws, but agreed - it seems a bit pointless given that nothing meaninful will come through until hours later


We have a few Americans on board the forum - they might have a better idea - but I reckon house parties = better than pubs for this one

Did everyone see the race-reversed poster of McCain and Obama that Metro reproduced this morning?


The poster campaign was an interesting idea in the image obsessed world of marketing. Here's a big and arresting picture of our candidates that focuses on their race. And here's a small caption reminding us not to think about race too much. And do NOT think about a blue elephant.


On a more petty point, I was fascinated by the result. McCain looked just like himself, but Obama looked really different, and suddenly kind of 'Troy McClure'.

The Obama one looked quite good... I thought the McCain one looked rubbish though, more like an oompa-loompa than a black man.

wow, v clever!


Friend was over from Texas last w/e, he was saying how he watched the debates with split screen and how while Obama spoke McCain was gurning and scribbling furiously!!


Have another friend who after much googling has been disappointed not to find a link between McCain and the oven chips!!!

And the offending lines of that article still ring true,


"The world will endure four more years of idiocy, arrogance and unwarranted bloodshed, with no benevolent deity to watch over and save us. John Wilkes Booth, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Hinckley Jr - where are you now that we need you?"

Who is going to stay and watch? I will do my best and have power napped to prepare.


I pray to God (which i don't believe in) that Body Odour gets elected - it will be such a kick to the balls of the rest of the world if Hicksville wins the day and Gramps gets the nod. Lets hope Mr Obama has eight years and uses to show the world that America can be influencial for all the right reasons and more importantly that Americans get into that mindset. Otherwise it will be remembered as 8 years of weak America and Laura Bush will be elected in 2016 to invade Brazil.


GO BARACK.

      Chilli & Garlic - Recommendation

      For these places to be good they have to be mega efficient: high volume high speed like the one in Camberwell next to Stormbird.  If you can't hit that sort of tipping point you end up having to cut corners and you enter a sort of death spiral.  The one at the south end of Lordship Lane near Joseph's is fairly hopeless.

      It's my understanding that estate agents are obliged to put forward any offer to the seller made to them by the buyer. The decision to accept us up to the seller.  If you're in a chain and someone in the chain has the brass neck to threaten to pull out at the last minute unless you take their lower offer, you're in a very tricky position and the gazunderer knows that.  It's a really nasty thing to do but a crappy person will do it to save money.  That's why if you can be at the top of a chain by going into rented or some other temporary solution you're in a much stronger position to tell the gazunderer to take a running jump which is very satisfying.

      Where does one go to ask admin questions please?

      Isn't it because any bladed item now needs to sold with a new set of legal conditions (age verification etc) which this forum doesn't have? Even if there's a tool to remove stones from a horses hoof, and a tiny pair of tweezers its still got a blade.

      Yes, if you think they have been complicit in this. When you say you "had to" accept the lower price from your buyer, was that because of the timing of your purchase?
