yes but what will all the poor journalists write about???

SLimzee has an ASBO? what for ?

There's a book called The Geography of Nowhere which deals with this sentiment. Although its focused on American and its car culture, it does cover themes about the suburbs feeling like nowhere.

Vauxhall has its nice bits (esp around Vauxhall Park) but I would agree that one of its better features is that you can go somewhere else very easily. Vauxhall itself, apart from a collection of gay venues, is a bit of a non-place.

someone spotted this one elsewhere on dissensus The Lord Chief Justice and President of the Courts of England and Wales is called Igor Judge. He's referred to as Lord Judge

As long as the waiters are willing to respond to requests for their attention I'm happy. Some restaurants the waiters serve you on their terms, visting 3 times during your meal to ask preset questions (drinks?, food?, everyting alright?), if you want something outside of these times they have a...

I'd still love it now, but not in the same way as only a kid can. You know, sitting cross-legged on my bedroom floor, whispering stories to myself about the different pictures, taking the book to school to show my friends only to stuff it back in my bag to hide it from prying eyes...that sort of...

great night. The bar room was a bit lame and you had to find a spot where the bass was loud but I still managed to enjoy lil silva and the collective juke effort. Fiedel tho was the highlight for me, probably because I was a bit drunk by then and the main room had a proper vibe, but it was a...

that book looks great, I would have loved that as a kid Lambert, a Disney short about a lion raised by sheep, had a scene where Lambert's adoptive sheep mother is dragged away by a wolf all the while screaming while the wolf salivates on her leg. Disturbing for a kid.

Pon de Floor twice in one week at same intersection in Tottenham. Probably the same car

I love Lily Tomlin, the fact that she's a good tipper makes me happy too

For some reason I keep forgetting about Bleep43, cheers for the reminder. Derrick May on Friday yay

It's a bit dismal right now. The best 'pure' techno nights (as much as I hate that word) of the last few years don't seem to be on anymore. Steve Bicknell's Lost events have basically stopped. He's got Spacebase running every other saturday at Plastic People but it's only partially techno and...

Yeah Surgeon's great (check out his FACT mix, it does all the above) but sometimes I wish he just did a rolling techno set. I think it's because there's hardly any techno in London and lots of 'bass music' but in Berlin it's probably the other way around. I'd probably share Zhao's opinion if I...

I bet you just crouch in the corner spamming sonic booms and flash kick the instant the other character gets anywhere near you - CHEAP! :p

Expensive land is conducive to construction, hence why residential skyscrapers are built in city centres and not out in random fields. The high cost of housing in London results from a combination of inadequate supply and the amount of money available to pay for housing (due to high income...

that's cool London definitely needs this

I got a letter from the government the other day. I opened and read it, it said HUNG PARLIAMENT Con: 291 Lab: 247 LD: 51 hung like a horse

It's a numbers/visibility game. In Australia east and south-east Asian racism is much less tolerated than anti-Indian/Pakistani racism due to the inverse proportional numbers of each group compared to the UK. Perhas there is a critical mass of a certain group which is required before casual...

I'm on a tier 1 visa right now and I have an application with UKBA for an extension or "further leave to remain". However the requirements have gone up since 2 years ago so if I were to apply now I wouldn't qualify :( Incidentally if I were to apply for the equivalent visa for Australia (home...
