Well I have just spent the last 3 hours trying to (partially sucessfully) beat Mockney Piers and Ratty's scores on xbox live


so nah


Guilty pleasure doesn't begin to describe it actually as the pleasure was only partial but the guilt was almost non-existent!

He was a bit too cocky for my liking .

My guilty pleasure is the Evening Standards ES magazine. Incidentally, did anyone else catch the latest issue because it's got the latest starlet of English period drama Rachel Hurd-Wood eblazoned across the front cover.


Her 'assets' nearly caused me to pass out on platform 12 at London Bridge on Friday.

Another of my guilty pleasures is reading the Sunday Times which I've just finished. The particular treat in this behemoth of well written media has to be Style magazine for the simple reason of Mrs Mills. If I were to settle down and marry I'd want my bride to feature the wit and class bestowed upon my favourite agony aunt, even if it is A A Gill. Givenchey's new campaign on the back cover also has Uma Thurman reclining in a position that I'll be sure to remember for some time to come.


Also, I've often wondered whether it would be possible to derail an intercity train with a copy of the Sunday Times considering how much of the Amazon must have to be butchered in order to produce a broadsheet on that scale.

Flapjack,


I, like anyone else on the forum am happy to admit to a silly or childish pastime or habit. I'm not however, willing to admit to a secret such as the music you've divulged that would force me to go into hiding or enter the witness protection programme.


I'd rather use wax to remove the hair on my scrotum than admit to enjoying any such music written and performed by a man who divorced his wife by fax.

      Any interest in a Barter scheme?

      I think the Brixton Pound lives on, so there must be some kind of appetite for it, but I'm afraid I doubt it would be very useful for me.

      Fireworks

      By first mate · Posted

      My primary issue is the noise level and the fact that it begins at dusk and continues well into the early hours, the odd random bang being possibly the worst aspect as you never know when the next volley will occur. This is no longer about celebrating a turning point as the clock strikes 12am, but more a lengthy indulgence in ear shattering bangs, where there also seems to be competition as to who can create the loudest most startling barrage of sustained noise. A new thing is daytime fireworks, where buyers are urged to forget the visual aspect and focus on getting the biggest bang for their buck. I am lucky as I am not super sensitive to noise but I really feel for those who are. As for pets, I am afraid there are now many that require serious medication to get them through- and those meds are not cheap. The fault here is not with the animals or people sensitive to extreme bangs, but with those who insist on their right to impose it on all around them, not just for half an hour a few times a year, but for hours on customary dates and now  spreading to random events throughout the year.I  New Year fireworks is a very recent construct, and now Halloween Fireworks are becoming a thing. Why should we encourage and condone a proliferating societal noise addiction? It really is isn't healthy. Let those who wish to damage their eardrums enjoy their pastime through headphones; they can turn the volume up as high as they like.  If last night was the end of it then that is great but I think there'll be more through the weekend and more discarded jumbo firework boxes dumped in the park. I hope we follow other countries in adopting low noise fireworks and drone shows instead.

      NYE is always like this. If you’re concerned about your pets, please consider seeing a vet as they can help. We give our dog valerian and play calming music, which helps especially after long walks and a big dinner. If it’s for yourself, it’s one night, so also suggest seeing your doctor for advice.  It is loud, although more predictable ( kept to evening:to midnight) than Guy Fawkes celebrations which go on for days and are arguably selfish and inconsiderate. Either way, it’s a very difficult time for many.
