Personally, tactical voting is the only thing that's going to determine which box I put my cross in. After Thursday, it's likely that M.P.s will have to line up behind either Labour or the Tories to determine which will be in a minority or coalitio…
I'm very jealous that you are just finding out about him. He made 3 albums before he died in 1974 and almost all of the songs are great.
If you're searching around on YouTube, there is a fairly lengthy documentary called "A Skin Too Few" that tells…
@ Sophie - Hope not. Exit poll looked pretty weird to me. Would have expected lower no. of seats for Labour and higher for Lib Dems. Its only really in the marginals that it will become clear if the Tories are going to get the 7-8% swing that the…
No - its right at the bottom of Ferme Park Road, near Londis.
They have regularly changed the menu over the last few months after several years of offering exactly the same thing (kangaroo etc. as noted above).
Waitresses are extremely friendly an…
Best:
Nice, small shops (apart from Mega-Londis, which is also pretty good)
Quick trains to Kings Cross on weekends.
Generally filled with friendly, young-ish types and not very many teenagers.
Worst:
No-one knows where it is.
Slight fear that th…
I don't quite understand the point about "those who will not be covered by it" - the proposal in the U.S. is for universal health care - not necessarily along the same lines as the NHS, but everyone would be covered.
Difficult to understand not t…
Hmmm... impossible to cover the subject as a whole but I would guess that most people's on here reaction would be:
1. The NHS could be better and we all occasionally complain about it.
2. At one time or another we've probably all been thankful f…
This is already the best thread ever.
Can we sort out twinning of Stroud Green and Salt Lake City?
Less Mormons over here though... and less salt... probably.
Unfortunately when you unravel the ballot paper, the first thing you see is the BNP logo right at the top.
Quite a lot of people in at about 7.30 this morning, so maybe turnout will be higher than usual Euro elections.
To be a boring economist about it - anyone that promises that much capacity per member is going to go bankrupt fairly quickly. It simply doesn't cost in to build a network that could do this on a mass market level.
Virgin are already massively in …
I think it has to be said that the whole Telecoms industry is a bit of a basket case economically (and in lots of other ways) - see me at the pub if you really want gory details.
Most companies are realising that half-decent service is the way to k…
Interesting that the biggest residential broadband company in the UK isn't listed, but then I do work for them. Talk Talk Group as of June =

Hey. Stop throwing stuff!
BTW - General o…
I should declare an interest in that I work with James. Luckily he hasn't humiliated himself too much yet, but I'm anticipating he might be in the boardroom a fair bit as the series progresses.
I tried that too - was trying to see what the view was like from next to the reservoir, but that whole stretch off road is not included. Presumably something to do with not wanting our water supply tampered with, unless there is something secret go…
From my usual perspective (top of W3 bus), DPH looked absolutely heaving last night, whereas every other night there just seems to be the odd person ligging about.
Was wondering if it was booked out for a party or something?
Certainly Miso and som…
"Dear Norris McWhirter,
This morning I received "A letter from Lynne", a four page document in which the aforementioned Featherstone appears in a total of 14 photographs.
For a minute it looks like she isn't in one of them (faith centre protest),…
The UES was/is a subgroup of la-de-da people that live on top of the hill and were trying to be all superior until someone got shot (non-lethally) on Mount View Road.
Membership is fairly exclusive - i.e. mostly me and Tosscat.
For discussion of N…
