It says a lot that they see it as a type of insult.

That's one thing that Britain does do well, free museums/galleries and the like.

Well it would obviously come from tax revenue so 'free public transport' is a misnomer anyway. Although the Metro practically is free anyway given the lack of barriers, inspectors and low fines. There's some logic to what is one of Parky all-time favourite subjects like. I've never really understood the logic behind the Metro at all. Either pay the money to install Oyster-style barriers throughout, even at street-level stations, or pay the money to employ a shitload of inspectors. Doing neither is just baffling.

And who's going to make for the services? Maybe they could get companies to sponsor the stops? They did that with the bus stops in Mainz. Overnight, Höfchen became "Höfchen - Listmann" and Elbestraße was happily announced as "Elbestraße - Kentucky Frait Tschickn".

Just happened to me. I foolishly assumed that, since I was moving house just round the corner and comfortably within the same borough, they'd keep my direct debit going. They didn't. Cue angry letters in red and black type.

There'll be plenty of banks of empty seats for them to choose from.

Just a little something for J(LS)69.

I'm still trying to work out if the WTC photo has a plane flying into one of the towers.

Good stuff all. I tend to make it a sensible strength but slow-cook it for hours (or leave it overnight) to get the full flavour.

It's not like any of this stuff really matters. Civilisation always survives anyway.

They're Turkish. Truly, God's chosen people singing in God's chosen language.

Seek comfort therein.

Inspired by alex's post earlier today, to the "tune" of Jimmy Nail's "Ain't No Doubt": He says: "I'll accept a reasonable bid that's broadly consistent with my asking price range" He's lying "I'll put an additional £20m into the club this week" He's lying "Keegan has the final say on all incoming transfers and loan signings" Why does he pretaay-ayyy-ayyyyyynd? Should catch on in a flash.

Is this not the problem in the first place?

I'd have said "How long it would take to prise off your fingernails one by one" and see if that shut her up.

"at least 2 months" as of mid September - so most likely Decemberish He'll be sold in Jan. Playing for Palace at SJP counts as being "back", doesn't it?

I suppose there's a certain amount of overlap in the funny/laughable/pathetic Venn diagram.

I told you to keep away from the Facebook Fuglies thread I couldn't resist.

A stonking erection.

"Ghoulish"! Marvellous.

To paraphrase DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, "click click click click BOOM!".

Some cracking retro stuff on the red button on BBC at the minute, by the way - "title deciders" is the theme.

I'm reliably assured that there's a significant group of men who are Into That Kind Of Thing. I didn't bother to find out. A couple of years without meaningful sex until I decided it was time to trim the fat seemed preferable to the prospect of a whole life being pursued by bearded bears.
