Yes! Never thought I'd ever get so excited by lamb chops, but they were incredible. There are several bring your own alcohol eateries in the vicinity - even the corner shops had queues in to them to pre-buy the booze. Best informal eating experience around.

I don't fine dine, but the best (Indian) meal I've had recently was in Whitechapel's Lahore Kebab House. We couldn't get into nearby Tayyab's (same owner) which is rated even better but was already packed. Strongly recommended to anyone in London post-match, looking for the best curry experience in town.

Crazy!

Should be a good one this Friday.

I think if Bin Laden was still at large, the Reps could have fielded whomever they wanted (be it a nutty Teabagger or a smarmy Mormon car salesman) and gotten away with it. I think they will have to be careful with who they pick now as Obama now has a very powerful card to play after the recent events. That said, there is still plenty of time for the opposition to drum up enough spin to negate it.

I agree, far too risky for the government, not just making a fool out of Obama, he'd be facing impeachment, let alone no second term. Also, if they were waiting to release news of his death at a time to really impact ratings, surely next year would be the optimum time to do it. Releasing a photo of his death would be an easy short term fix to satisfy the doubters. There is clearly a good reason they don't want images of a dead Bin Laden out there for the long term. He needed to be wiped out as quickly, efficiently and as humbly as possible.

Do you really think so? Do not underestimate the power of Fox News, the effectiveness of neo-con smear/spin and the sheer ineffectiveness of the Dems.

I wish your avatar was dead! (Not saying I wish the person dead, just wish you'd remove it...it's disturbing)

Bless you Robert! It was all a bit anti climatic for me today. Got to work, went straight to the Beeb site to confirm the game started at noon, but oh no, it was all over. Big fat headline saying we had won...and no sneaking back to listen to the game with a brew at lunch. Thank god we get the TV coverage again. I already have FSP as it shows Sky News broadcasts at better times than FSC. Was going to cancel FSC but Directv gave it to me for cheap for a few extra months, but I'll cancel and stick with FSP when the new season starts.

Cheers Um Bongo! Didn't realise this was an early k/o. Was getting ready to listen at noon my time! Oh well! Get in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

CNN just reported it. I know in the Islamic world they have 24 hours to 'dispose' of the body. They might have cut off his hand or something to conduct the tests and jettisoned the body.

...and promptly dumped it in the sea....

We don't know this. He had to live without internet and phone service in that big house for a LONG time.

I'd like to see Daggers stay up, but if they lose (they are currently winning) and Walsall win, the latter will be safe come next Sat when we play them. Not sure it will even matter by then, but Plymouth still have a chance of staying up. Edit .Oh **** that...we're 2-0 up. Fantastic first half! COme on!

There for the Puncheon Judy show....obviously.

I have a problem with the argument that if we were to get rid of them, we'd lose all that income from tourism. IMO, they'd still come in their droves. It's not as if we're able to see them on display as it is. The castles and palaces would all stay open and generate the same revenue. It's not like we're executing them. We could just pay them a LOT less, open up Buckingham Palace to the punters, let them fly EasyJet and take away any power they still have. Done deal. They cost us a lot more than 38 million each year, some estimates quadruple that figure when adding in security and other fees. Some reports say 300 million return on tourism........but as I said, IMO they'd still come to visit regardless of whether the monarchy is still 'active'.

I'd have been tempted to run them down, especially after doing it twice. (The thugs, not the Pompey family)

.

Might be their strongest candidate. Relatively normal (apart from being ****ing Mormon and having very little substance about him). The GOP has become such a different animal that it once was. I hope they choose Palin or Trump, only to see them slaughtered in an election...then again, the Dems would probably mess it up somehow.

Richmond Green and surrounding pubs is nice on a sunny day. Griffin Park is just on the other side of Kew Gardens. Lucky buggers.

Where have you been hiding all season!? Cheers.

****, Oldham equalised. Was banking on Walsall being safe on the last day...maybe it won't matter! COYS!
