Miaowww Michael. Although I agree that there is only a certain amount of taunting one can do about the umm pleasures of living in the London Borough of Bromley. But, prey, as the Scargill/Thatcher confrontation influenced the continuing face of British politics, only too important that many of the youngsters who post know a little more (beyond the collective right wing memory). Any what is this about punk? Beyond the occasional link to youtube and misquoted lyric, little I have posted. The last thread was a happy birthday punk rock I did yonks ago. I also note that you, Michael, seemed to be the main person who lamented the loss of my special pub thread, an even started a new one. Immitation, what flattery!

Well I am now off to light some non smokeless fuel (does anyone know any coal merchants left in South London?). I have to import mine from the Midlands, or even mine mine in the Midlands (oh I can't as all the pits have closed). There is two, even three threads for discussion there.

Interesting facts# 98 Leffe, which pretends to be an original trappist Belgium beer, is made by the worlds biggest brewer, interbev/brew. Try Mr Lawrence's if you want a real choice. What to you think TJ? Whoops I slipped into that trap.

And finally Michael, please don't label me with Ooperlooper - now he/she is really off the wall.

BD - he has real soul
