Bored to tears already by hysterical gibbering about what is little more than a mass shoplifting spree. Ken Livingstone showed himself for the grubby little turd he is on the BBC news channel last night when he turned his grating, nasal tones to tawdry party-political point-scoring and was actually told off by the correspondent for it which I thought was great. 'Perhaps this isn't the time, Ken'. The vile little man whining on about how when HE was mayor etc. He's a big a self-serving opportunist as de yout' man dem in Curry's.

How would YOU deal with the rioters, B3ta? In homage to the top-notch Zombie Big Brother series Dead Set from a couple of years back, I say the police go for headshots (double tap, obv) just in case.
Alt: London, Birmingham, Bristol and now Nottingham (although apparently it was a riot in the St Anns area, which is just a Monday night there). Where's next? My money's on Manchester, not that anyone will notice the difference.

I saw a million and one things down in old Croydon. Very moody, very scary. But also quite funny. Don't condone what went on for one second but I can't deny some things weren't amusing. Saw a bod legging it down the road carrying a 32" tele on his head, not a flatscreen, but one of the old ones that goes about two foot back. There was loads but I'm knackered cos I had to run away from various hoodlums. Worth it though.

Latest from New Cross:
8:28 3 more riot vans heading to Lewisham
8:45 Ken Livingstone on the BBC speaking sense. Long Live Red Ken.
8:55 Ambulance heading for Lewisham. *sad face*
10:20 definitely more ambulances than police vans heading for Lewisham in the last hours. still quiet here.
10:30 ambulances and police vans heading back from Lewisham
10:50 Going by the directions of the passing Plods, I'd say it's quieting down in Lewisham and getting worse up towards Walworth Road, will be interested to see if this is true come the morning, especially as that is my route to work.

the world is also suffering a bit of a financial calamity, what with the US no longer considered to be a AAA rated credit risk.

The in-laws have a dog who they absolutely dote over and treat like a child now that their own kids are grown up and moved out. They now have a brand new grandchild, their first, and frankly they seem unconcerned about the dog's behaviour around the kid. The dog doesn't respond to training (when first acquired, hubby took the time to take it to doggy school but his olds did nothing to reinforce it) so it won't even sit or stay when told, and it gets very 'excited' when the baby gets brought in the house. They've now refused to put the dog outside or keep it on a leash as 'it will only get upset and resent the baby'. WTF.
Having had a polite discussion they agreed to leash it on us visiting, but when we went over they took the leash out and then left it sitting on the bookshelf. Again, WTF. It feels like they're choosing the dog over their grandchild and frankly, dear reader, i've fucking had enough. Why should i feel anxious everytime we visit them, and then be made to feel guilty when we don't go and visit? My job as a mother is to protect my baby, and they're hamstringing me by making snide remarks about my concerns.
Is there any suggestions how to broach / resolve this situation once and for all cause this is causing serious shit in a normally happy situation.

In the spirit of Alan Partridge, let's hear your ideas for television or radio programmes.
A friend of mine was going to set up an internet radio station thing for Shoreditch and I was going to be on it. My idea was to host a show called ‘Mock The Weak’ where I play a well-known record, take it apart mercilessly and explain in detail why I think it’s shit, and then follow this by playing a comparable but superior platter and explain why I think it’s better.
It never happened, though.
