Are you making that sandwich up??? It sounds incredible.

Thanks for all the various pieces of advice... I like both highgate and east finchley, with the latter seeming to be more flush with properties at the moment. Fucking hell though, before I thought about moving there I knew London was expensive, but I had no idea quite how ridiculous it had...

I went to Highgate today and liked it, and didn't get laughed out of the letting agencies when I mentioned a budget of 700 a month...

I need a flat rather than a room somewhere as my girlfriend will be living with me from May onwards. What is Finchley like? Seems to be decent for transport, and www.findaproperty.co.uk shows quite a few places at around 700 a month...

Ok changed my mind, I don't care which fucking zone its in, and I've got 700 a month. Is there nowhere in London within 40 minutes of TC Road where this isn't a laughable prospect?

Martin... exactly why I was questioning the definition of 'decent'...

I guess 'decent' is the important word there backjob, something I can't really figure out until I get there. I have heard rumours in the last month or so that the buy to let market is really over-subscribed, probably because of Sarah Beeney. The north/south issue is a big one, as I've never...

I have to move to London in a few weeks (eek) with a new job, and know virtually nothing about which part of the city to live in. As there are so many londoners here I thought I'd ask for suggestions of zone 2 areas of london where 1 bedroom flat rentals are about £600-650 a month, and which are...

Last year when I was among the employed and went to work on the bus every morning, because of abject poverty I dug out my old walkman to listen to on the journey. As I hadn't used it since I was about 16 (circa 1995) all the tapes dated from back then too. Cue much uncomfortable musical...

I finally saw The Last Temptation of Christ when it was on Channel Four last week, and found it very moving. In fact I couldn't understand why the Christian reaction to it had been so vehemently opposed. Holding my hands up as a lapsed Catholic, even to me the notion of a human Christ, who...

I only ever really liked his political journalism. Most of the other stuff was tedious.

That voice-over. It sounds like the kind of worthy effortful crap you'd expect someone to have toiled over for 12 months in a creative writing class.

Everyone loathes the voice-over. Surely these kind of things get test-audienced? I'm definitely in agreement with the 'less irritating version of SATC' judgment; it has many of the same faults, it just doesn't have such annoying leads.

Aah Bree... on a totally non Amanda Platell related note, has anyone else found that the only people they know that watch Desperate Housewives are men?

I always remember the annoying it's/its proposition like this: it has an apostrophe, but it doesn't possess one

Apparently ITV has an option to show next season too.

The Patriots are gonna walk it. I was so pleased to discover it was on ITV as well as on Sky.

I picked up the Howells disc yesterday and it is really good. Thanks to Scott and Rambler for the recommendation. While I was browsing the Naxos rack at HMV I also picked up Durufle's Requiem (mainly because I've seen it coupled with Faure a few times on different discs) and rarely can an...

Scott, do you have the Naxos disk of Howells' Requiem? If so, would you recommend it? It definitely seems to be full to the brim with his choral work. Naxos are obviously the cheapy option, but with all the stuff I have left to consume in the world, gotta make a few economies every now and then.

I've never heard Howells' Requiem, I'll have to find a copy.
