mrkiki and i are arriving in london in the morning and need a comfortable pub with a nice cozy atmosphere to settle in and read newspapers, etc, have a bacon butty etc.
we'll have our backpacks and probably be exhausted after the longish flight, so it would be good to find a place that is casual.
we're thinking islington, or ?? stoke newington?
we need to get to stansted at some point to make it for our italy flight.
any suggestions of favourite hangouts?

..Every fucker in the world would be laughing at us. Get a grip chaps.
Oh - and if it was Robbie Keane who had been in Henry's shoes it would be 'the luck of the oirish' etc etc. Walk into any Dublin pub at 9.30am on a Thursday morning and there wouldn't be an alchy Oirishmen in there who would care how they'de got to the WC.
And while we're at it....they weren't robbed!! It was going to pens - aside from Robbie Keane there wasn't a person on the team who could score from 12 yeards. Shit team, dont deserve to be in the WC. I'de rather watch Henry, Benzema, Ribery etc than the shit in the Irish team.

How is your arm now?
I saw you posting again after I believe you had to have a few month break to keep the arm still? Any progress?
Good to have you back:-)

I love it when people have scribbled notes in the margins, and i don't agree with them at all. Or underlined some parts of the text, and i don't understand why. Or leave old postcards in them, and i can read that George had a fantastic holiday in Rimini in 1987. So many worlds colliding with mine. And then i find a booger stuck on one of the pages, and i realise that we are all the same.

My son turned six today. SIX!
We're having a birthday party on Saturday evening. He has made a list of who he wants to invite etc. There is one little boy, who seems to be a part of his posse, who he has left off the list, because the little boy is a bit of a ratbag and my son is worried that the kid will try and blow out the candles on his cake and just be generally naughty. The little ratbag looked thoroughly disappointed when he wasn't handed an invitation, so I talked to my son further about it, saying that it might be nice to include Ratbag as he seemed so sad, but he was adamant that he doesn't want this kid to come.
Would you tell your kids that they should include people they don't really like and maybe make them invite kids along to kind of keep the peace at school or would you just give the little ratbag the two finger salute and be done with it?
To be honest I'm...

I have a friend. And people quite often think we're a couple, which we're not. I mean if people start referring to my boyfriend (or husband!) I will, refer to him as my friend, 'cos he is.
Anyway, so recently I've been broke and not visiting him so often at weekends (petrol) and also applying for jobs all over the country and also abroad. And I asked which job he'd like me to get. And he actually said the Hertfordshire one, because it's closest. Which is funny, because usually he makes noises (although not very convincing ones) about me visiting too often etc. Mind you, all this prob has something to do with his Evil Creepy Lodger moving out (my term not his - he thought ECL was perfectly nice), so he may just be missing having company.
I have pointed out that even the job in Herts would probably not equate to much visiting, but still.
Why is it that only native English speakers do it? In fact, non-native speakers of English who attain fluency nearly always write better copy than native speakers.
Discuss.

Does anyone here watch Dexter? If so, did you watch the episode on Sunday? If so, were you expecting that little plot twist? I just finished watching it (downloaded it) that really makes me look forward to the next episode. I now have two things to look forward to on Sunday (besides a hangover) NFL and Dexter.

Hello all- this thread, much like the fitness thread, is an ongoing place to post- only this one is for those of us who have been laid off, who are seeking work, who are freelance and contract workers looking for work and for those who might be looking to re-enter the workforce after a long stint travelling or being a primary caregiver.
Feel free to post your frustrations, small victories, anxieties, interesting articles you have read, words of encouragement, whatever...
Consider this the TTWT Work Seekers support group.

I'm bidding for two things on ebay right now - exciting! - but after a couple of disappointments I have a question:
Do people bid for their own items to get the price up? That's dodgy, but a recent sale I looked at kept putting a bid in EVERY TIME I did, then quiet for the rest of the time. In the end all his goods were bought by the same person, then went back on sale again.
Do you have any more interesting ebay stories?

Yikes! Why is there so much racism in Denver?
Denver police arrest 32 in series of downtown assaults
LoDo assault victims often sucker-punched
Sounds like Denver's residents have a lot to learn about racial harmony and regarding people as equals regardless of skin colour.
Here are some mugshot photos of the arrested suspects:

I make it to the grand old age of thirty one without ever having had cystitis. I've sympathised when others around me have been struck down with this supposedly painful condition and made oohing and aaahing noises as appropriate.
Until today. I have been struck down, having assumed for years that I'm immune. Am I fuck. It's fricking agony. And to add insult to injury, I haven't been near a cock to have the fun before the burning begins.
I've been out to get some cranberry juice and drinking that. Any other suggestions as to how to stop this? How long does it go on for? Help, help, help!
