Stoke Newington car crash

More local news now, there's a car gone into a lamp post at the end of Manor Road, we get a lot of joy riders round here... might take a picture of it tomorrow, it's quite a twatting...

is this your car?

the car crash I mentionedWell that's the smashed car I mentioned, the number plates have been ripped off it, maybe a case of stolen car identity like I read about yesterday in The Times... can't find the article online though, and if I could, you'd h...

Holiday reading

While I was away I read Matthew's Prize: Being the Tale of a Whitby Orphan Boy's Longing to Navigate the Broad Seas though I didn't know the title was so long at the time... it's about PIRATES, and it's quite good, if a bit of a blokey version of a m...

Pirates of the Caribbean is ace

Well worth going to see, and Warner Village Islington was a great place to see it. Apart from the bloke sat next to me, who stank. Seats were big, plenty of space, very comfortable.Johnny Depp is great as Captain Jack Sparrow, he apparently based his...

Pirates of the Caribbean MISSTEAKS (and spoilers)

I thought of a few of things about the film - if "Bootstrap" Bill Turner was tied to an anchor and thrown into the depths after they'd stolen the cursed gold, then right up to the point where Will (Orlando Bloom) bleeds over the gold, his dad is out ...

Glastonbury Festival Tickets

Available now - great seatsWell that's what I've just been offered by a new Google ad... also it's a bit odd that Carling seem to have bought up a load of ads that appear when the Barfly is mentioned, linking to http://www.carlinglive.com...

I bet he drinks Carling Black Label

[bah lost an image :-(]No idea of this chaps name, but I met him and his friends at the Bizkit Limp Bizkit gig... he'd pissed himself and sicked up all over himself, and couldn't even keep water down when I saw him, his mates reckon he'd had 16 pints...

Oyster Card PARANOIA

Talking about the weather seems to be a tradition on the weblogs, I've seen a lot of people have links to "times they've mentioned the weather" etc, how odd. Anyway, where the bloody hell did that rain come from? And me without a jacket today. It pla...

Oyster Card Fears

My Oyster card messed up for the first time today, I'm not sure staff really know what to do when this happens. First bus it worked fine, then on the next bus in Finsbury Park it gave me a red light. The driver didn't know what this meant, except tha...

RE: Oyster Card Fears

there ain't such a thing as a British Rail Oystercard, only tube stations are issuing them... a mate who's got one had problems on Stagecoach buses for a while, but his card was fine with everyone else's.

Oystercard update

Aha, just going through my mails (250 spams over the weekend that got through Yahoo's spam filter), and found that this was sent sometime on Saturday... so it looks like it takes 24 hours for an order to go through:The products you ordered through th...

Pirates of the Caribbean DVD

Oyster Cards - What a load of old crap!

Got an Oyster Card update from a friend:I tried to RENEW mine by phone and after a LENGTHY recorded message the operator told me:they didn't have any record of my card on their computers (how can this possibly BE?!?) because I'd bought my card at the...

Oyster Card problem at Liverpool Street

It's not a nice situation When oystercards go bad, like today at Liverpool Street... a huge delay at the ticket barrier (well a few seconds anyway), everyone behind is cursing the person at the front of the queue for forgetting that their ticket has ...

Oystercard problems

Mate at work has had a problem with his oyster card and I wonder if it's the same thing that happens to me... as his journey starts at a station with no swipe points, his journeys are being charged at the maximum rate, that is in the terms and condit...

RE: Oyster Card Fears

those Oyster Cards do that sometimes... who knows why. I think they just don't have their act together yet... all the machines aren't working properly. Some of the further out stations (british rail) don't even HAVE those electronic swipey things!!! ...

Car crash

Got held up on the 106 home last night, by an accident outside the Rose and Crown... I would swear it was that coughing major from "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" who had driven into the side of a taxi... the cab driver was getting quite aggy, but t...

A quarter of commuters have found love in the tube

according to a poll by London Underground. And who's printing this shite? Yes, Metro. What should the sharpest response be? The other 75% can never find love becuase they've gnawed off their genitals in sheer frustration at the poor service? Stuck at...

The Darkness in Cardiff

There must be some kind of rumour going around that The Darkness are playing a gig in Cardiff, as I've noticed a few search queris the last couple of days...The Darkness last played Cardiff Uni on the 5th of October 2003, and played Barfly Cardiff in...

Oscars results

I didn't pick up a Metro today, I averted my eyes from the big screens at Liverpool Street, I didn't look over anyone's shoulder on the tube, and I was planning to not look at popbitch.com or any news or film related sites all day, so we could watch ...

RE: Pirates of the Caribbean MISSTEAKS (and spoilers)

1) they turn into skellitons when they are in the moonlight, and are actually not breathing air, so there isnt any in their lungs. 2) jack folded the chain in two, then grabbed the other (folded) end with one hand. if you watch it closely you'll see....

Carpetted

Things were shit yesterday, I met with some of the other freeholders, they were mostly nice, but the concensus is "NO, you cannot have a wooden floor in the flat". So not sure what to do now, I guess put in a lower offer to cover having to recarpet t...

RE: Carpetted

Just mental masturbations, mon cher ' Pauly' . That's all. I understand this is THERAPY for you BUT you are missing the point.The point is that YOU DO NOT WANT to sort out this "flat" situation at all.You are actually enjoying the trials and tribula...

RE: Carpetted

Bah, rubbish. Pauly just wants a nice flat, the way HE wants it. He also feels it was presented to him under the false pretenses that his neighbours were accomodating.Pauly, I think you should put your foot down on this matter. Sorry, that wasn't adv...

RE: Carpetted

Well, Dahling"Pauly" is trying to get blood out of a stonewall. His ~ preziosa energia~ would be better spent looking for a more suitable delux appartamento...in Belgravia, Paris, Cannes, Monaco,Prague, Budapest or ...Cardiff.La mia opinione personal...
