I do this sort of thing all the time, always without noticing it until much later. I just assume that the girl in question has no interest. It's very annoying.

AFAIK Sorenson no longer has any shares in Group 4.

It's not though is it? The meat is of a pretty poor quality as I remember from my few visits. What I find a bit weird is that not liking Nando's is middle class snobbery. See: vs. (from the the chicken thread) Seems a bit contradictory, no? I only eat chicken I kill with my bare hands...

That's not really what I mean - I'm not not satisfied by the lack of conventional TV elements - dramatised soundtrack, plot explanations, "complete" story etc. Quite the opposite, I find those satisfying... I'm unsatisfied because I don't think it delivers what it's proponents claim it does -...

Sounds interesting, will pick it up.

Have to say I don't think the Wire's all that really. I mean, it's a cut above most police dramas, but I get a vaguely unsatisfying feeling after watching. I always want to watch more, but often it just leaves me feeling empty and unsatisfied. It feels a bit cynically put together in that way...

Dark Budvar rocks.

Friends of mine just bought a pretty nice, though not massive, one bed flat in Clapton for roughly £250k. Someone else I know said she'd seen some shocking properties around Homerton/Hackney/London Fields for closer to £200k

I'm touched.

Call of Cthulhu was brilliant. Any game where you get to go mad from too much staring into the horrors of the abyss is a lot of fun. For truly jaw-dropping levels of commitment, you have to check out these guys - Cthulhu live action roleplaying: http://www.cthulhulives.org/gameindex.html This...
