Come on, this simple post is hardly worth the vitriol, is it, folks? It's a short update for people who might not have heard. It sticks to the facts. It's less insensitive than it is concise and to th... |

Yeah, supplement their Clerkenwell pubs w/ a few others nearby and you'd have a great night out. I think someone (SIANY perhaps?) should investigate all the pubs on these FAP? lists and report back t... |

Thanks for the comments, people. This was intended as an informative early morning post as we were unable to pick up the story last night. As we get more info, other than the basic what happened facts... |

Yeah, it's definitely the teachers. Totally not the parents or peer pressure or bad examples from their every day lives.... |

Cheers, TikiChris! But I'm sure the readers can do better!... |

I agree with Polo. We don't need yet another law. Enforcement of drunk and disorderly should suffice. However, I have to admit that seeing someone drink alcohol on the tube or bus makes me really a... |

I like the strapline on the poster: "Making everyone's journey more pleasant". Nice and old-fashioned. I hope this is a sign of things to come from our lovely new Mayor - next up we need a serious ... |

But hang on... you say that it's the 'decision to fire an employee for biased reporting in the run-up to an election could set a new precedent' - and there's no question the Guardian was doing the sa... |

I saw Iron Man last night with a group of fellow geeks. It wasn't the sort of film I would normally have wanted to see but sizemore's post made me keen to see it. Downey Jr was great. He looks sexy... |

If this person was in America he would have been tarred and feathered and sent packing. I feel like everyone should speak out on this. Some people don't even like the taste of chocolate. http://satir... |

Hear, hear. Desperately sad to learn of the great man's passing. According to Barry Cryer on the radio this morning Rob Brydon deputised for him in a performance of ISIHAC a few nights ago, but Humph ... |

Ha – I knew that mention of the Greenwich Union would elicit a comment by Siany! Otherwise... so many Clerkenwell/Smithfield/Farringdon-based pubs! ... |

So, Boris is banning the booze eh? If he can actually find a way to police this, then he may as well just ban anti-social behaviour, which is surely the actual problem anyway.... |

I don't want to be too critical either but honestly, the way that this murder is treated in this piece as an inconvenience for those who seeking to get a bus from Oxford Street to Tottenham Court Road... |

Bizarre: My quip against Ken seems to have been removed. All I said was lovely as he is, he chose to stand as the Labour candidate. He cant, thereafter, claim to be 'independent'. Its great to give th... |

Can't believe I didn't see this earlier - Petra was at the Acton Farmers' Market for a few weeks and she's such a sweetie! BTW, I also recommend Oriol Balaguer in Barcelona.... |

I've been in London as a student since I was 18 and didn't feel the need to drink on a tube or bus journey. Most journeys are under 30 minutes, if you really need to imbibe during that time whilst you... |

Yes, more murder clues please. And where, oh where is the irony in this piece, the lashings of sarcasm? Lame sideswipe aside, dobby has a point. News of a traffic jam on the North Circular is London,... |

BNP also won a seat, breaching the 5% mark for the first time. As for Boris... I don't understand why anyone would vote for him. If there was another conservative candidate then that's understandable... |

Reposted as I forgot to complete a sentence! Will this achieve anything? Like a lot of legislation it'll bother the otherwise law abiding, while those who don't care about the law will continue to dr... |

Wait, what? So in a 45-minute Maths class that is disrupted by one naughty child, a teacher is supposed to ignore the other 30 children in the class and sit down and have an earnest chat about Proper ... |

I wondered when this was going to go up. This happened yesterday evening and you had something about national limerick day at the top of the page! I don't want to be too critical but I've come to exp... |

I agree, Working Class Hero and dePfeffel - in the irritability test of crappy earphones versus kids playing their phones there is no competition. But playing music through a phone is being deliberat... |

As with the recent competition for the fourth plinth, the winner is obvious, if a little too obvious: the horse. It's like the others weren't even trying.... |

It's not irresponsible to provide functionality. After all happy slapping isn't an argument for banning cameras from phones either. I personally use the speaker on my phone quite a lot, either when co... |

I don't see why drinking has been banned, if drunk people are the problem, there's already laws for drunk and disorderly conduct, why not just enforce them instead if bringing out another law. Way to... |

Both you and the Standard have got this wrong. There'll be a few changes in May but all the new names don't happen until September. And it is mostly just a renaming - "saver"/"cheap day" becomes offp... |

Speaking as a North American who lives visiting London: I wish I could do so more often, but it really is awfully expensive these days, what with the general crappiness of the US economy right now (n... |
