Aye, you can't beat a decent Kristallweizen with a slice of lemon, even if it goes against all logic. I drink nothing else whenever I visit Mainz, unless we're getting fucked on happy-hour cocktails, obviously. Which is always amusing as the Germans don't seem to get the point of happy hour at all ("You mean we can get the same drinks we were going to anyway, but at a lower price? How pleasing.").

And our cocks are far bigger than theirs.

Stevie made the scores up so he would win though, so no. It's my ball and I'm going home!

I'm not at all sure it's a real word actually.

Lynn Anderson-tastic! Well if bloody Hoegaarden qualifies as an "unusual" beer then I'm going to make a case for Leffe, too. Not the Blonde variety that's all over the place now, though, but the Brune and Radieuse variants. Lovely stuff both.

Even if that were actually true, the sheer number of people concerned should be immediately worrying.

His odds have dropped to 3/1 on Skybet... 5/2 on Paddy Power too. Fast work.

Something like... 73? </veronica>

Took me two reads to get that.

apparantly he's just been seen coming out of the greggs by the hippy green I'd have had him down as a Boskoops man myself. He went down in my estimation when he did that. KEEGAN OUT

Where's the transparency, people?! (This post brought to you by epdd.co.uk)

The queuers, the government, the meedja, the company's management and the economy as a whole, nobody exactly comes out of the thing smelling of roses. What a bloody mess.

I did what now? Apologies he was I knew it was a Gordon though, had a Sir Bobby Robson moment. Gordon Burns You shouldn't have said man, I thought you were trying a genius piece of surreal humour. Visions of an assault course where you have to speak in a dodgy French accent while the car you're driving gets twatted by an advertising hoarding.

.......so landlords start charging 54x the normal weekly rent for a 2-bed flat.

This thread has kept me away from my work and watching the Aussie Open tennis for, ooh, a good 10 minutes now. I feel thoroughly violated. Carry on.

Neither. He graduates in the summer, and can we fuck afford to stay in London long-term, so...

Aye, a lot of the predictions (both doomy and optimistic) seem to be based on the number of people who've bought additional properties to let out. If they get screwed then there could be plenty of houses and flats becoming available on the cheap (relatively speaking), but I imagine all a downturn in selling prices is going to mean for most people is that they stay put rather than moving onwards/upwards/elsewhere like they might otherwise have done. The other factor you've got in Newcastle, I suppose (and the same is true of other "redevelopment" cities, as I'm sure the Fish could confirm for Leeds, for example), is a lot of new-build flats that are struggling to find owners. Council estates of the future, if you believe the worst pessimists...

Madeleine McCann gets my vote. We'd be guaranteed excellent tabloid sentiment for once.

Срећан рођендан!

Closest any Wii owner is ever going to get to the real thing I suppose.

If you believe what you read in the papers.

Right. I'm off to the gym. Last time I did this, the ***BREAKING NEWS*** about Allardyce leaving flashed up on the TV screen just as I arrived, so we'll see what happens this time.
