A smidge misguided to assume that this isn't still true for some of us: "setting up home" was exactly what our wedding list did for us, and it stopped us ending up with 37 plates and 8 toasters. I envy you and your already set-up home, but I'd rather not be judged offensive and boring for needing a little help with mine.

Which basically combine to prove the point that friends are likely to want to get a couple something by way of congratulations, and wedding lists are a way of pretty much guaranteeing that what they get you is something that you like and will hopefully treasure, or at the very least get use from. It's not offensive, it actually stops your friends from wasting their money on crap that you don't want, as we've established that we pretty much all agree that they're likely to want to buy something whether they know what you want or not. Doesn't Mrs.brendan ask you what you want for Christmas? Is your answer boring and offensive? How is it any different?!

Reassesment: initial improvements noted, but now plateau'd - will be able to get by, but full recovery now appears unlikely...

I'd say Dalston to L.Junct to Peckham shows a course of steady improvement, so pathologically misguided but with a potential for full recovery, rather than terminally... ;-)

took me 18 years to get out...

All the bits of london that aren't really london but pretend to be - Bromley & Sidcup (north kent), Croydon & Sutton (north surrey), whatever the south essex equivalents are etc... And Dalston. Fairly certain there are no actual buildings, just traffic that finally gave up and died.

We've got a canvas or 2 with landscapes that I've taken during our travels - bonusprint, all online. No idea if the prices are competitive or not, but the service was prompt and the results are great.

Well, frankly, we can do without a group of funny little fellas with a massive gambling problem who, based on reports, have an interest verging on obsession with the anal-probing of intellectually subnormal rednecks: i bet they don't even read the guardian...

Presumably you 2 are sending these posts from your mobiles while you are sat in folding chairs in positions 1 and 2 of the queue outside an upcoming star-trek convention, laughing together at our technological na?vety... ;-)

i'm sure they said something about jumping servers 5 times per sec, and a panic room without a seperate back up power generator seems a tad pointless. Agreed on the US-threaten-airstrike-on-kensington bit, but then spooks has tended to push the silly boundary occasionally, that's part of the fun of it. RIP Jo, some of the finest eye-candy to serve the nation ;-)

For great instrumental versions, the rendition is a favourite in our house (mrs.number5 had to pull the car over the first time she heard it), and the version from Brassed Off remains great.

According to the boards up in reception: pool to reopen "spring 2010", gym to relocate to fitness studios and entrance to be via Crystal Palace Road for 6 months while they do the gym and the main entrance, all work to be completed late 2010...

There's a feature on them in Ride this month - the wheel base is set wide enough that they count as a 3 wheeled car, meaning that legally they can be ridden with just a car licence, and without a helmet! craziness. I was forced to flog my 600 fazer 2 years ago to cover study expenses - once the income goes back up, have my eye on a number of potential replacements...

to me it still wouldn't really add anything, though i admit that neither does me saying that which i think is MM and quids' point, which i take and apologise for my tone

if everyone who has an opinion that i don't like that much keeps it to themselves too ;-) But I have a hankering that thinking it and not saying it would make for a less effective forum...

I wasn't attempting to be dismissing, but a descriptive narrative that actually rather romanticises the situation like it's scene from a film, is jam-packed with cliches and apparently with no personal attachment does not, to my mind, add anything. That's not attempting to be nasty, I just don't see the point. Comp.shorty even put in the disclaimer that it might offend someone - the piece doesn't offend me, but I think to pen prose over the death of someone that you never met in a place that you were not, and to even give a message from him to his mother from beyond the grave, is rather tasteless. And adds nothing. Never was much of a poet, though, so perhaps I'm missing the point.

Serious lack of a decent gym that doesn't cost the earth - looking forward to the EDfusion renovations finishing...

It doesn't offend, comp.shorty, but it adds nothing. Were you there, did you know him, or have you just finished watching "courage under fire"?
