Presumably trades that were placed before opening - it seems to be back to "normal" now. Though it'll no doubt take a battering when the Dow opens. Go uncertainty!

I'll stop posting stuff from the Daily Mash one day, I swear... http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/busines...fe-20080122672/

So does the estate of Bill Hicks get a share of the no doubt huge amount he gets paid for "writing" this stuff?

That's the $27,398 question.

She's not in accounts, she's in Comms!! That's no way to talk about a lady.

But the more floors the lift stops at, the less time he's got for an imaginary blowjob off the hot lass from accounts.

Far more likely to spill it when the lift judders to a halt. Cull 'em all.

If it's not too personal a question (), what kind of price range can you afford/are you looking at? And, by association, what areas/sized places etc.? In any case, the likes of www.rightmove.co.uk and www.globrix.com are a canny starting point for searching all the local agents, though they've all got their own sites too (that you can usually click through to from the portals) that might have more up-to-date information.

"...I'll dip me finger in it first"?

Happy birthday. Celebrate with a Curry Hell!

The fact that they're Aussies is mere coincidence.

Incidentally, has anyone seriously ever got through a whole portion of Curry Hell? I know people find it hard to resist a challenge to the ol' manhood and all that, but one forkful of the stuff was enough to make my eyeballs want out of my head. It can't be right.

FU-U--U-U-U--U-U--U-U-U-U--U-U-CK!!!!!! Sorry mate, only just seen this post!! Mods/Admin please can you delete my earlier post (and 2J's quote)? Really sorry Martin! My condolensces. No disrespect intended! Don't worry about it! I had to check the local press this morning just to reassure myself that it wasn't the ultimate publicity stunt actually. I'd put nothing past the man, and having built his public persona on the Viz stuff and the like, I'm sure he'd expect nothing less than gentle mockery in death. I'm only sad he never got to pair me off with his last unmarried daughter like he always wanted.

Holy shit. Old family friend of ours and a total legend. R.I.P.

I was going to say something along the lines of "While My Cumrag Gently Weeps", but that'd be distasteful.

I'm sure we can manage at least three pages taking the piss out of "F.O.A." alone.

Yeah, there's no point getting anything small really, larger drives aren't proportionally more expensive and everyone's data storage needs are only going to keep going through the roof anyway. There's a terabyte of external HD space in this flat now. 2x250GB and 1x500GB, Maxtor and Western Digital respectively - have never had any problems with either brand, though both have some shockingly bad online reviews as well as plenty of excellent ones.

Says the woman who has 17 posts in here. To be fair, if it wasn't for people going "xx pages ffs, get a grip", this thread would probably be about 4 pages shorter

Just finished Will Aitken - "Terre Haute". Standard-issue gay coming-of-age/older male seduction scenario. Reasonably atmospheric but nowt special. Now in the middle of JT Leroy's "The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things", which is about as disturbing as I'd expected so far. Meanwhile, the book mountain in the corner currently includes Brookmyre's "A Tale Etched in Blood and Hard Black Pencil" and that "All Played Out" book about Italia '90 that everyone says is class. Oh and I've just ordered this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Onions-Our-Dumb-Wo...0814&sr=8-1 Flicked through it in HMV the other day and made a right twat of myself giggling every few seconds, so I had to really.

Thank god. I know nothing about the fella and I'm still sick of hearing his name.

I meant to gloat about beating the Fish at Facebook Chess the other day, but I forgot. He's sulking and won't take his turn at Scrabulous now.

I remember when Keegan finally relented and reinstated Pav at Hooper's expense. Some street cleaner bloke accosted us on Gosforth High Street during our lunch hour and told us the happy news. You forget just how mad the city went for any scrap of football news back then, even compared to now. Come to think of it, it might have been the same fella who told us that Labour leader John Smith had croaked. Strange chap.

Ah, I've just read up on beerintheevening and the aforementioned Cock & Lion is where "most of the former Barley Mow Newcastle United fans now come", so that's probably a better bet. Ignore my last post then.

I went to the Barley Mow on Duke Street (near Bond Street tube) for a few games last season after being told the place was Toon-friendly, and it basically is - a group of lads/lasses with Toon shirts gathered at one end of the bar and general indifference from everyone else, which is probably about the best you'll ever get in London. Stopped going there after they unexpectedly decided not to show one game (Chelsea (h) in April I think) and found a friendly boozer out near me instead, mind, so I can't guarantee they'll actually be any cop...
