Steven Taylor's dad installed my parents' burglar alarm system in the mid-90s.

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.

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.

Not the same thing really, but I love any of those Balkan savoury pastry things like burek, spanakopita and so on. A recipe combining those fillings with the virtues of British piedom would make me very happy, at least (though the blasphemy of it all would probably enrage a few million Greeks and Serbs).

If only there was a way of finding out. Some kind of national survey available in 56 languages, say...

The Catholic states in Germany get more holidays than the non-Catholic ones. One of the few things Bavaria has over Hamburg. Bloody federalisation.

Easy choice right there.

Aye, I force my neighbours to have Dave-endorsed Eurovision street parties all the time. Prick.

Pardon?

Pen pushers can't stop you, but your own sense of shame should.

We're getting there. Doesn't change the fact that the Tories would have done exactly the same as Brown, but it's progress all the same.

I'm not generally a lager drinker, but I quite like that. Edit. Its not a 6% job or anything, but I do like it and I'm going to get some more. I don't particular like beers or lagers that taste "strong", but that is quite nice and it isn't "gassy" like some lagers. It may not be strong enough for some though, looking at what people have said they like. Aye, I've always found Czech/Czech-style lagers to be very "smooth" drinking - regardless of their percentage actually (some are very good at being dangerously strong yet seemingly mellow on the surface ) - so it makes sense you'd have liked that one as someone who's not a fan of bubbles up the nose.

I'm still in and will be until at least May 12th

Aye, but they played in the World Cup under that name, which is what the quiz wants (see also Yugoslavia, East Germany, the aforementioned Dutch East Indies etc.). Obviously it's a bit of a grey area since Serbia is the legal successor to S&M, 91 to 03-era "Yugoslavia" and so on, but then officially there was no such thing as West Germany either.
