I also suffer from this god aweful blight! It tends to come and go every six months or so. However, personally I can not afford to get it treated at present, as I am self employed, and apparently if operated on, it requires 3 months of rest, with the open wound being repacked once a day. Still...

London is our capital, but is also one of maybe 4 truly global Cities. As a Country we were the first to bring about an Industrial civilisation, for years we lived off of making machinery for other Countries, but of course eventually, everyone caught up, it wasn't hard, the use of steam, and...

Murders happen all over London, I work there, do not live there, but I work a lot of night shifts, and I am never put off from the high crime rate, to walk into the town centre to buy dinner. But it always seems there notices around the town centre from the police asking people to come forward...

There can be confusion, There is a Hayes in Kent, and a Hayes & Harlington in Hillingdon, the latter I deal with every day due to my commute from London E14 to Hayes & Harlington, which others may consider hairy.

Wow! small world! Do you happen to work for a an investment bank at the bottom of Clayton Road?

Not too sure on the economy as a whole, but I work in IT for a major bank, and have a few trader friends. All I can say is from what I have overheard at work, is traders love uncertainty, well, certain departments within the bank, the more uncertainty, the more possibility to profit. I remember...

I tried to play quake 2, and other games via Gamespy, 7 out of 10 times my modem would disconnect as the game launched, I blamed my ISP vehemently. The reason why I was so upset was, I was given a sneak peak of how great multi player games are. Then after much research, I realised software...

I've heard these rumours for a while. Hope something comes of it, and soon as I work shifts, and relied on sky go at work to catch the football now and again, they have recently made it mandatory to update to the latest version of Silverlight, and to do that on my work PC you need admin rights...

When I want to relax, I tend to drink beer, it doesn't make me relax, but it does make me happy. A Drink will never relax you, a Valium will, a dark room and music will. Ovaltine will not.

Can be awkward. I know for a fact I earn the most in a team of 6, and I think a few of them have worked it out. However, I am very good at my job, and I feel I am worth it, obviously so do the firm I work for, as they employed me, and matched my asking price. What is awkward about is when...

Well that is hearsay. What I have heard is that they pro-actively reacted DCMA's filed. Of course, that could be rubbish, anyhow the business model they run their model on is 100% legal, They use the same critera as Youtube regarding copyright infringement. Could you ever imagine youtube taken...

I used to frequent the football forum on matchday, so I will not respond DM's wall of text that provides no logic. Do I believe Megaupload was legitimate business, I don't know. It is not down to me to make a judgement, what I do know, the way US feds hs acted via interpol is dispicable...

lol, a completely legitimate business model what removed content where DMCA was invoked, and complained against, decimated overnight, without any long term thought on how it could effect the US economy, what makes me laugh, all this attention on webistes tha allow you to upload files, but...

You'd be surprised, it isn't that much cheaper, and apart from working in that area, i know no one. I grew up a 20 minute walk from where I live now, And as I work there, I know what the area is like. From where I work to the train station, in the last year and a half, I have had to defend...

I for one, can not wait to wake up with a huge tattoo on my forehead that reads processed. Also, this guy you call Spie, he is next, right after Redknapp senior, wonder what his dogs name is, and the year he was born? :confused:

I dunno, I pay 1400 a month for a one bedroom flat near Canary Wharf. Which makes zero sense, as I have had a job for the last 18 Months that requires me to travel from my house (Canary Wharf) to Heathrow, well, Hayes and Harlington. And I work 12x4 shifts, so, on top of a 12 hour shift, I have...

Very similar to my relationship with my dad. I would feel weird telling him I love, let alone initiating a hug. But, need help at 3 oclock in the morning? Borrow each othe money? that's it. Practicalness, over wishy washy-ness. Not that that not hearing things like that growing up may affect...

I live a five minute walk from Canary Wharf, I would say detour this area as much as you can. Monday to Wednesday, the bars and clubs are empty. Thursday and Friday, is just as bad but packed. A lot of people say Isle of Dogs/Canary Wharf has no personality, and that it is sterile. That is...

About a quarter of my life a year is spent on either the Jubilee Line, or the Bakerloo line. The first thing I would mention is... I have lived in London all my life, explored nooks and crannys that no one else would ever find. But there is something special that happens on the Underground in...

This is a very good point, that will not only crush this thread, it might mean a consolidated law suit from Scorsese and Coppola. Say goodbye to all mods, admins and underboss. Even the Roman Empire fell. From the ruins greatness will rise.
