Humans to stick with oil (Daily Mash) http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/society/humans-to-stick-with-oil-201102223563/ Oil prices: Urgent steps needed to wean UK onto other energy sources, MPs say http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/2011/mar/05/oil-uk-energy-sources "We may face a situation at one stage where supply cannot meet demand," Mr Voser said. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/oilprices/8362579/Shell-chief-Peter-Voser-warns-oil-demand-could-outstrip-supply.html Good to see the CEO of Shell has - barely - mastered economics 101.

I'm thanking the lordy (and our councillor and our chief lighting engineer chappy from Southwark) that we now once again have streetlights along our road. Yay! It's been pretty weird last few days in countryside-blackness, given the numbers of goings on on this small road recently (burglary, attempted burglary, 'violent crime' which is presumably muggings, and some other not nice stuff). The onset of some kind of crime wave coinciding with absolutely zero street-lighting was doing my head in. Even my taxi driver felt nervous the other night. Apropos stuff on EDF: hardly any of the local crime gets reported on here (<5% of the totals each month), so EDF is no measure of anything. Check the crime stats and crime maps (and your neighbours) for what's actually happening.

Keef, a lovely Italian train will convey you betwixt Venice, Florence and Rome. Get on down there. It won't disappoint.

They may finish one day. But we seem to have had roadworks, bus stops closed and all the rest on this stretch on and off for the best part of 18 months. Bus stops closed this week again, after they had only just reopened last week after the last lot of roadworks. It just seems to be endless. Hhumpf!

Maybe the title should be 'THE Florence' (as in the name of the pub), rather than plain Florence (as in the name of the city). I had been expecting a diatribe concerning Michelangelo and the flippin Renaissance :)) Oh, and the tourists.

Bolt the frame into serious metal/concrete with the biggest, chunkiest chains/D-locks you can find. http://www.londoncyclist.co.uk/cycling-accessories/kryptonite-new-york-3000-lock-review/ Remove anything that moves: seat post and seat, wheels etc. etc. Don't expect to find it there in the morning.

Jah, well done for remembering the mud pies. But you forgot the fish finger sandwiches (and the sugar sandwiches, for some). Also beetles and other creepy crawlies kept in match boxes with pin holes (when they weren't being killed by our catapults). Until they, um, died. And the baths once a week or so.

A friend died a few months ago. I noticed yesterday his profile is still on Linked In (he ran his own business). It's possible his wife doesn't even know it's there (she's not a Linked In user). What's the best thing? Leave it up but leave a message there? Take it down?

I'm less concerned about who was served alcohol, and more concerned about firearms on the premises. There have been hearsay reports that the initial gun incident took place inside (leading to subsequent evacuation) but as yet there is no formal evidence on the table as to the sequence of events. Hence my view that this needs to be addressed before any review.

A complete eruption of ladybirds indoors. More than in previous years.

Surely the review should happen once it is determined what exactly took place inside (?)

Andicam, I think anyone seeing your past posts would see you are a regular forum participant (rather than just of seller of goods).

"...and his presumably philanthropic interest in fallen women". Amazing statements in recent days. Is he ever *not* on drugs? ::o
