There is a great quote from Stephen Fry in a letter he wrote to a girl who contacted him, I may be paraphrasing but it is really ingrained. "There are some obvious things about the weather..it's real, you can't change it by wishing it away. If it looks dark and rainy then it is dark and rainy...

Re. Away pubs for Arsenal. They're pretty strict on away fans closer to the ground and ask for tickets, The Swan and Old Cock next to Highbury and Islington Station are OK and let away fans in

I was going to post but you succinctly put it better than I ever could, absolutely spot on.

Vancouver. End of thread. If you're in the incredibly priveleged position to be able to choose your location. Love Stockholm too but clearly that has the whole cost of living issue but I'd imagine both are great places to bring up a family.

Grimes - Visions Keeping it moderately obscure. In other news, going to try a bit of BSP after recommendtions on here later.

I'm sure Tueartsboots will spot this soon enough and respond but The Blue Anchor is no more I believe and the London contingent are currently homeless, there is talk of a couple of places but the favoured fall back if nothing comes of those is The Famous Three Kings in Kensington. Best bet is to...

Not just saying this to be a smart arse but only go if it's specifically the name you are going for.....the food, service, location are all well below par for the prices. For less you can go Oxo, Portrait Gallery, Savoy Grill and get far superior food with a far superior ambience. If you're...

Don't drink on Vaci, overpriced, try Radi Utca, good selection of bars and restaurants all in competition so better prices. Beer is comparatively expensive, Wine ironically is a lot cheaper so try a Borozo Bar and you'll get a large glass for about 50p (the local stuff called Bulls Blood is an...

Best descitptions I ever read of Gail Platt were in the old Screen Burn TV reviews by Charlie Brooker....apparently she looks like either.... A) A pigeon being patronising. B) A disappointed worm. Couldn't agree more.

Ben Howard and Alt-J are mentioned already but I'd go for Visions by Grimes....sounds like Aphex Twin/Boards Of Canada got locked in a garage filled with Martin Gore's synths and forced to record an album with Sarah Cracknell from Saint Etienne. Gorgeous and a little bit bonkers. Want try Toy...

Oscar Wildes in Mitte fella, not the best but will have the footy on...

To be fair I'm reasonably confident of achieving both. Its important to set out targets from the outset and gives focus. Initially at least.

Apologies for cluttering the main board with a potentially niche question...but.... Any Blues in Hannover (or Hameln or Celle) for the match tonight, know there's potentially a few around this neck of the woods so worth a shot? Was thinking Hannover/Jack The Rippers with the Christmas Markets...

I know this has been posted previously but a September article from Martin Samuel puts it succinctly enough..... ''Manchester United are the architects here. Who would have thought it? Whelan, as chairman of Wigan Athletic, supports the plan. Some smaller clubs’ owners do because they think it...

I may get slated for this but in my defence I was 13 and this was important at the time in the way these things only can be when you're a kid, besides I always took a perverse pleasure later in our rollercoaster years. Best day as a City fan (beautiful though the Play-Off, FA Cup and League...

Blue Anchor obviously for the atmosphere but if you have to be east.... The George (part of the Andaz Hotel on the corner of Liverpool St and Bishopsgate, big screen but limited atmosphere being a 'hotel' bar) The Golden Heart (on Commercial St, opposite Spitalfields Market, Landlady is...

Retribution is already being taken in Morcambe... http://www.thevisitor.co.uk/news/morecambe-and-district-news/silly-string-attack-on-boy-carrying-owl-1-5060515<br /><br />-- Tue Oct 30, 2012 5:19 pm --<br /><br />......maybe it was only intending to take it away in a beautiful pea-green boat...

Oscar Wildes is your best shout as above but pretty sure our game isn't being shown so if you can grab hold of a laptop you might be best with that to avoid disappointment and console yourself by being surrounded by excellent beer and head to Prenzlauerberg....

Fabric is pretty good in Farringdon, head down Brick Lane/Shoreditch/Hoxton on a Sunday for bars and eats (if the sun is shining Queen of Hoxton has a roof terrace), Camden can be cheesey and touristy bur still has some good places and if you want to get off the beat and track head down Harmood...

I think it's reached that time but I hope he gets the credit he (and Flower to be fair) deserve, they built an England team after the shambles of the 5-0 whitewash in Australia and the Pietersen/Moores fall-out that created a good deal of pride and some fantastic cricket. The shame is he won't...
