My ex-missus kept a diary, at laeast when we were first going out (er, nine years ago!) but I never looked. Precisely because I loved her and trusted her, I never looked.

I am halfway through series four - got UK edn because I wanted to prolong the enjoyment. Heard that the UK won't get series four on telly till summer but won't get series five till next year - this true?! Cos if so, I shall have to download series five from the interworld. Still the best programme on TV ever, though, IMO.

this sounds brilliant ...

Ha - went to see UNKLE at Brixton the other night - quite good! On a different note, try the gorgeous Arab Strap song, Shy Retirer. Lovely video too.

I actually remember you saying it the other week on the "Best advice" thread :)) There's always also, "If voting ever changed anything, they'd abolish it". I like that one too.

It doesn't matter who you vote for, the government always gets in.

Classic! That's the funniest thing I've read all week ...

It opens at 5pm these days, Keef. (12pm-12am Sat & Sun tho).

On the one hand, it is fair enough to penalise people for littering. However, there are very few places where you can put your used fag-end/cigar butt. It is one thing to fine people, another not to make it easy to get rid of your rubbish.

this is what I got from Southwark Council, who would presumably be responsible. According to their website, the fine for littering is ?50. Sean, might you have been had? What is the name of the company who "fined" you? http://www.southwark.gov.uk/YourServices/environment/streetcleaning/litter.html

I read his book Bash the Rich: True Life Confessions of an Anarchist in the UK the other Xmas - quite good, and very funny! I disagree with CW on tactics though - it now seems to be a re-run of past glories, rather than anything new. True, Fuxtons (sic) do inspire a healthy anger in people, but I don;t think they cause gentrification, only try to make profits out of it. Also, they are way behind when it comes to ED - they should have been here ages ago. What I say to everyone who decries the existence of Fuxtons on LL is that I am surprised only that they did not move in sooner.

The name of the chain is a bit odd too, no? No-one else think that too?

I thought Ian Bone did still figure large in Class War? He was on the Bash the Rich demo at the end of last year in Notting Hill, no? TBH, I don't think Foxton-bashing amounts to much either. Like Foxtons into ED, Class War attacking our favourite estate agent seems a bit johnny-come-lately ...

Yeah - just tried to access it but work blocked it. Tsk - so they all definitely know I'm an anarchist now ....

We cannot allow the 72 to close. East D will not be the same without it. Therefore, we must all do our duty as good citizens and pile on in there as often as possible to avert the threat of closure. Solidarity, comrades!

Dolly Parton does a really good bluegrass version of Stairway to Heaven. Honest!

if it is, RosieH, it has back-fired spectacularly. Or has it? We are all talking about it now ... You know what they say about bad publicity ...

I love the way he casually claims to "write for Skins" - WTF?!

One song I have always loved is Fleetwood Mac/Stevie Nicks's Landslide, but the Samshing Pumpkins do a great cover version of it too. It can be found on the Pisces Iscariot LP. Incidentally, I thought it was about her cocaine addiction ("If you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills") but it turns out it's a song about her dad. On the other hand, The Corrs' cover of Fleetwood Mac's Dreams is gash.

I feel a bit rotten, or at least I did this morning. I had a terrible toothache and a bad back. But then this morning I went to the chemist and got some paracetamol/codeine tablets - now I feel great!

where's the nearest Waitrose, then? What's "Ocado"?

Can you still get the Marmite and Guinness combo that was launched last year? Never got round to trying it ... any good?

It wasnae me, I's afraid. Though I have been known to patronise the establishment occasionally donned in my whistle and flute ...

I will be in there this weekend, no doubt ...
