And even more belated wishes from me.

Double Herzlichen Glückwunsch all round!

I could've written that first post word-for-word really (changing the place names, obviously ). Except I probably had even less of an accent to start with.

R.E.M. - Automatic For The People I'd forgotten how decent the non-singles from this are.

Rascal Flatts - Bless The Broken Road

Religious choon-wise, I love hearing a decent choir have a go at "O Holy Night". As for Christmas pop, it may have become fashionable to sneer at it (though now that Sima's in on the trend, I'm sure it'll swiftly become unfashionable again), but I'll hear nowt against "Fairytale Of New York". Special mention for Tony Ferrino's "Bigamy At Christmas", naturally.

Born into it, obviously. I remember being well jealous of SMO's dad's press box gig. It seemed like the height of sophistication at the time.

Echoed from me. This is the sort of thing the LARPers love. You've really got it in for the LARPers, haven't you? Did one of them cast a "miniaturise" spell on your willy or something?

Is this transfer is a step in the right direction or a tragedy I'd say it's better best forgotten.

i love the smell of skunk pesonally. where about do you live btw? i'm in east dulwich aka west peckham Sounds like dogging code. Top end of Brockley, basically just about into New Cross/Deptford. No decent pub car parks around here unfortunately.

I really hate the smell of weed. Nothing against the stuff itself or the people who use it, I just hate the lingering smell. It's probably a combination of bad flashbacks to uni halls and living in proximity to Peckham.

I hear he orders everything from Amazon these days anyway.

i avoid it at all costs. i know so many people that won't consider living in an area that isn't on a tube line. i don't get it. the overground is the way forward. the tube is absolutely revolting, especially at rush hour. Which leads neatly on to "people who think you must be a savage and/or mentally ill just because you live south of the river (and pay a hell of a lot less for doing so)". Although on Tyneside it's true. Well aye, that and you'd have to be mad to want to incur Stevie's wrath.

I bet you fly to Ryanair airports on good faith expecting them to be somewhere near the city they're named after, too.

Oh and Peter Tatchell is a wanker.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7150693.stm Well that's a relief. Now we can concentrate on removing references to Christmas from Band Aid for fear it'll offend the non-believers among the starving.

Byker and Katrineholm.

If you do end up going to Prague, I started a thread on here before I went in November and there are some canny tips from people in there.

So they've edited the "slut" line too, but the "faggot" one is the one that gets the headlines. How tedious.

As long as you don't stand up afterwards, etc. etc. Trent from 12 sounds grand.

Aye, I go to Stockholm about once a year on average, though it usually coincides with their Eurovision national final and a weekend of listening to shite music in dodgy gay bars and clubs, which one suspects isn't quite what you had in mind. It's definitely not a publess city, anyway - though Leazes is right insofar as the Swedes do go about their drinking in a different kind of way to us, and anywhere other than Stockholm can be a bit bizarre for a night out. Anyway, if out-and-out destruction is what you're after, there are certainly better places within a cheap flight's reach - not sure I'd recommend Frankfurt mind, unless you'd have free accommodation there... If you want somewhere that's canny to mooch around during the day too, though, then Stockholm can be lovely for that, especially if the weather's playing nice. As for concrete going-out tips, I reckon someone else like Chez's brother or one of our resident Swedes (if we even have any left?) would be a better bet. But obviously, do come back to me if any of your lot decide they want to discover the pink side of life.

That's what I'm already getting you man. Hush.
