Ronald McDonald seen without mask. Kids do you want to end up like this?... |

Not keen on the bin, but the Bezier apartments look kinda nice. Better than another randomly clad oblong, anyhow. That said, who'd want to wake up to a view of Old Street roundabout?... |

"A History of the World in 100 objects (Radio 4, 19.45-20.00) Statue of Ramesses II, from the British Museum" Mmmm.... can't wait. "...two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near ... |

I couldn't agree with you more, Dean. It's all about the avos. I think it's interesting to see what folks add to the mix. I've had guacamole with sour cream, which can be quite tasty but unnecessary i... |

Seems like they need to give their business plan some thought... Maybe Hackney doesn't want a full time theatre? Can't they use it for other things? ... |

"B) Saying PORN doesn't suddenly give you all the google traffic. I do seriously do marketing for porn sites. If only it was that easy. Porn /=candyman." Whereas the term 'glory hole' does tend to br... |

Pickled jalapeño chiles? Will have to try that some time. I use a very similar recipe which always turns out nicely. I use a regular jalapeño, a shallot instead of a red onion, and a touch of black pe... |

The Battersea power station site development deserves an award for the amount of time it's taken to resolve anything regarding the future of site. Not to mention an award for all the dodgy property d... |

I was there on Thursday, and was followed around a few exhibits by Derren Brown and his helper. I don't think he stole my watch. Did you see the lady "playing" the Serendiptichord? It was like a cro... |

Fluff Mike - you have typically demanded facts from me whilst simply stating your case that some facts located in a place only known to you exist that prove you right. You are talking about 20mph res... |

OMG I read The Mouse and His Child when I was ten and can still remember most of it (which is quite commendable considering how many books I've read and how old I am now) and agree with Peter unreserv... |

I used to visit El Vino all the time when I worked on Fleet Street. Well, maybe not ALL the time because that makes me sound like a pisshead. Lets say reasonably frequently instead - that sounds bette... |

I wonder whether this 8:30 closure is merely a deliberately-spread rumour so that, when TfL finally announce a 10pm closure every weekday night for 16 months, everybody says "oh, phew, thank goodness ... |

The issue here surely isn't specifically the rusty stump - the woman has a fair point about investment in Shepherd's Bush & Hammersmith vs the rest of the borough. If West Kensington didn't have the... |

It might be worth paying £300 a week because then you wouldn't have to look at this eyesore - surely the ugliest, cheapest-looking big new build in London? I've been appalled watching it grow outside ... |

It's a shame that this poll was hijacked, although if only 34 people voted even after a 'vigorous Twitter campaign' it doesn't really reflect well on the Borribles books. I'll certainly read all of t... |

Point totally taken about the annoying tweets. With the vote so close we wanted to get as many votes as possible, and we probably went a bit over the top. It was definitely a Spiff-like bending of Bor... |

O Damian, whatsoever, UK is going downwards only due to the people like you. You should think upon your own pornography as you don't deserve these medical statements of the learned persons like Dr. Pa... |

I would say that this is quite possibly the worst idea I have heard all morning. @Londonist (join the fun and get on Twitter today, folks - I'm @Mankauf) asked me, "Why so? Won't it be fascinating to ... |

Hi Hilary, I'd just like to take issue with a couple of things you have said there. You claim the councils work for us. My recent experience would cast doubt on this. I would argue that most council... |

Dumb people. Placebo can have success rates as high as 35%. Even some of the effect of taking pharmaceuticals is down to placebo. Homeopathy works because at the very least it is as GOOD as placebo wi... |

Visibility by Boris Starling. London, The Great Fog and of course Nazis. Fictional intrigue within a real event. But I guess winner is 'The Borribles'. I'm making my reading list.... |

Rumour I heard from a few RMT members is that Bob will not be seeking re-election later this year so perhaps he wants to go out with a big finale. The bad news is that the favourite to replace him is... |
