Oh aye, I have no time for him at all. This shows he's less fundamentally biased than I thought though, just more interested in making himself look good at anyone's expense rather than one side or the other, which can have positive side-effects.

From 1:10. Whoops-a-Warsi.

Done for Easter. Or rather there's work to do but it can wait till Tuesday. Why hello, Mr. Zywiec.

Saga louts!

Four games to go and Mainz are still clinging on to a Europa League place. St. Pauli are going down, unfortunately...

Wow. Classy.

Who dat? To To Madeira?

Steven Taylor's dad installed my parents' burglar alarm system in the mid-90s. Not doubting your story one bit but fucking everyone seems to know/have met Alf Taylor My old man worked for Northern Electric at the time, back when there were takeover shenanigans afoot, and Alf was their security bod on call. Instructed to make sure we were well protected in the event of any nefarious dealings, he wanted to install a full TV-based CCTV system - channel-hopping from BBC to ITV to C4 to your front doorstep and all that - but we managed to talk him down to, well, basically an extension of the bog-standard stuff we had already. Not least because you'd imagine a Colditz-like alarm system on an average Gosforth side-street would make you even more of an obvious target to those infamous gangs of Insider Information Gangsters.

He's saying he thinks it'll happen, i.e. he takes you up on your bet.

Meze Mangal, Le Querce and Babur FTW. No need to leave the borough.

I'd heard that rumour When on Lange Reihe, do as the Lange Reiheheians.

Putting you three steps away from something that made a positive contribution to music

If he didn't give up during series 3, he's a stronger gay than I.

Non eccellente.

"Area 51" is bound to be the name of a bar on Lange Reihe. I sniff a loophole.

Black is very slimming, too.

Mind, it's taken the Mail a while to pick up on the anti-gay sticker thing, that was in February: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-12526820 Probably taken them two months' worth of hand-wringing to decide who they hate more, the gays or the Islams.

My folks have always used Home From Home at Heddon on the Wall for their cats and have been very happy, pretty sure they take dogs too but no idea about costs. Which is useful obviously.

More glad tidings for Danger Dave. http://www.newstatesman.com/newspapers/201...cameron-murdoch

Most typically either a feta cheese mixture (so not dissimilar to spanakopita... well, give or take the spinach!) or a ground meat/onion concoction. Not as dark or gravy-ish as you get in British mince pies though. Quite like the idea of combining mince and feta, even though that'd probably give the whole of SE Europe a collective aneurysm.
