I think ED needs a Burger King, but only for as long as the Angry Whopper promotion is on. I love the Angry Whopper.

I can't get enough Corona on a hot summer day.

I think it would be amazing if there was a pub that did a pub quiz every night. A couple nights could be a quick quiz (write it down on paper and hand it in when you're done.. leave your mobile number and they'll call you if you win type of thing). I love quizzes but I haven't been to one for ages, because it's never the right day!

Can someone somehow get that up on YouTube, I couldn't be bothered with the rugger but would quite like to see the best pub ever on tv :-)

Keef 1, Keef 2 and Keef 3.

Jose, that blurb on their website about the minis makes me want to track down their head of brand, and do all sorts of horrible things. The worst part about reading it is that I get a mental picture of a complete tw*t. I'm actually getting a bit angry, but I suppose it is 7 and I'm still in the office.. for the 8th or 9th working day in a row!

uberdude, what a graet insight! I thought about going into ATC when I found out I couldn't become a commercial pilot because I'm colourblind. Then I thought I probably couldn't hack the stress...

In Disney stores, I think 'customer' means 'shoplifter'. I forget what they called actual customers though... All the staff are cast too.

I'm amazing at dodging poo. I haven't stepped in it for as long as I can remember. I'll probably step on some on the way home now. I didn't realise cat poo was such a problem in these parts. The only problem I've had with cats in the last year was when this big cat came in through our back door and sat down in our lounge. We couldn't get it to leave for a day and a half. Not such a problem, really. I like cats. Bird poo, though. That really gets me. I've phoned the council about cutting down the tree outside my house numerous times and they haven't done a single thing!

OT: BAH! Missed that lift to Bath again! Did you get stuck on the M4 on Sunday night too?

Since September 2003. Probably heading out early 2008, though :-(

HOW could I forget Cockermouth?! My friends and I planned a camping trip a few Novembers ago just so we could go to Cockermouth. I liked the sign that said "Christmas in Cockermouth" in front of the big town Christmas tree.

I always found Compton Dando funny too.

Westward Ho! The exclamation point is part of the name. Excellent.

well, is it? :-p

Are you actually serious? 'Train Station' sounds awful? Or is it because it's an Americanism that it's inexcusable? First the CPT up for sale, then Foxton's and then this. I wonder if I'll actually miss the place when I move in 2008...

I take the 63 to work, never noticed that. Do you mean the one by Barry Road or a bit further down towards Peckham proper?

I quit on June 1st, a month before the ban. CitizenED makes an interesting point, and I'd like to let you all know that I still take smokers' breaks at work (I just don't do any smoking, why should I lose that break just because I don't smoke?!) and go outside with my smoker friends at the pub when they go out for one. I don't think it'll be a massive issue for people when winter really rolls around. Lots of pubs and bars have awnings to keep the rain away, and when I was a smoker and visited Norway in the dead of winter I didn't have any problem going out for 5 minutes to smoke. I guess you're already kind of used to the cold and a few minutes of shivering isn't all too bad. If you were the only one going out for a cigarette, it might be different, because being really cold AND lonely is another story altogether. That's what I reckon :-) Bazzer.

Two of my housemates (blokes) seem to go to the EDT and 'do quite well' from time to time. Maybe the Bishop too.. I wouldn't know for sure, but that's what I've heard from them :-)

Sorry, it's not halo, it's half-life(1). I was a bit knackered yesterday and didn't make much sense all day! Half-life is AWESOME over the network! It's also a version that was modded to death at the previous office before I got here, so you can be the dude inthe scream mask, etc. Genius.

I play a weekly game of 'try to blow up the boss on Halo (or club him to death with a crowbar) over the work network' on Friday afternoons. We both find it theraputic.

Sean - don't feel left out, it was all by chance! Badger showed up just as Michael P and Bagpuss were on the way out.. that's how I ended up in 4 pint misery! I'd also like to mirror keef's comment - I recognised Michael when we were introduced, and was then informed we've only been introduced previously across rooms at forum meets. I have to look into the odds of me making it on Friday, my weekends have been quietly busy recently and I don't have a clue what's going on!

Had a 'surprise mini forum meet' at the CPT. Bumped into BadgerMediochre, Bagpuss, Michael P and Badger's mate who's forum name I don't know! Had a lovely time, but those 2 pints became 4 by accident (because of suddenly knowing more people than the bar staff!) so not feeling too great today! See you all again soon :-)

Sorry about that, this must be why I thought it stood for British Airport Authority, from the BAA website http://www.baa.com/portal/page/Corporate%5EAbout+BAA%5EOur+history/6f666da45a282010VgnVCM100000147e120a____/448c6a4c7f1b0010VgnVCM200000357e120a____/#anchor4: "1965: Labour minister, Roy Jenkins, introduced the Airports Authority Bill.

"1986: The Airports Act was passed, the Authority was dissolved and all its property, rights and liabilities were passed to a new company, BAA." Regards, BR

Do they do a 'hand in 20 plastic bags and get a free 'more reusable' bag' deal? That would be pretty sweet.
