Hope not

Just got home and found a dead bird infront of my door. Acuudubillah! Hope the maintenance man gets rid of it quickly.

Ibtisam, you have another reason to blame good old Boris Two thumbs up from me for the new Mayor of London :cool:

Tube drinks party sparks mayhem Six London Underground stations were closed as trouble flared when thousands of people marked the banning of alcohol on London transport with a party. Four tube drivers, three other staff members, and two police officers were assaulted, and there were 17 arrests. Several trains were damaged and withdrawn from service, which led to suspended services. Drinkers gathered on Tube trains and station concourses for a last drink before the ban came in at midnight. Police said what should have been a fun event came to an "unfortunate" end. 'Like rush hour but fun' The ban on drinking from - or carrying - open containers of alcohol applies to the Tube, London buses, Docklands Light Railway and trams as of midnight on Saturday. It was announced by London Mayor Boris Johnson shortly after he took office, with the aim of making public transport safer and more pleasant. It's sweaty on there but I'm going round and round until I vomit Peter Moore, from Brighton Booze ends with a bang Tube party in pictures The party, mostly on the Circle Line, was dubbed the Last Round on the Underground or Last Orders. It had previously been widely advertised on social networking and other internet sites. The party began in a celebratory mood, with many people in good spirits and anticipating a good night. Londoner Matt Wynn, 43, a banker, said: "I've come along with a bottle of Champagne because I want to show that you can drink responsibly on the Tube and not cause trouble." But others took a different approach from the beginning. Peter Moore, 35, a sailor from Brighton, said he had downed a can of beer in 10 seconds. "It's sweaty on there, but I'm going round and round until I vomit," he said. 'More considerate' Transport for London's director of transport policing and enforcement, Jeroen Weimar, said the new policy on alcohol was a reasonable one. "We are encouraging our passengers to show a bit more respect and to be more considerate and involve other people's views and other passengers views as they make their journeys," he said. "And clearly drinking alcohol can create a culture whereby people feel it's ok to do that sort of thing, it's ok to get more drunk when you're travelling. "We're not going to the stage where we're saying we're not going to carry people who've had a few drinks and who are trying to get home." Damaged police vehicle As Saturday night wore on, eyewitnesses described how drunken partygoers began fighting and vomiting, ripping up maps and adverts, spilling alcohol and leaving debris. Liverpool Street was one of six stations closed after it was mobbed British Transport Police said there was a "large amount" of instances of disorder reported. Liverpool Street underground station was closed to ease overcrowding for several hours. Other Tube stations closed by police were Euston, Euston Square, Aldgate, Gloucester Road and Baker Street. Seventeen people were arrested for offences such as assault, being drunk and disorderly, assaulting police, public order related offences and drug offences, BTP said. One police vehicle was damaged and two officers assaulted and another injured. Police also reported four assaults on train drivers and three assaults on other members of London Underground staff. There were also "multiple instances" of Tube trains being damaged, which meant they were withdrawn from service, which in turn led to several Tube services being suspended. 'Dangerous' Superintendent Ellie Bird said she had no doubt that the event had begun with a small number of people keen to have fun without causing trouble. Other Tube passengers reported debris, broken glass and spilled alcohol But she added: "Alcohol has a significant impact on crime and anti social behaviour, not only rendering people more vulnerable but raising levels of aggression. "Those under the influence of alcohol are more likely to cause disruption to the service through their physical state and conduct. "We have seen numerous examples this evening of the negative impact of alcohol and antisocial behaviour. It is dangerous for those individuals and others." http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/london/7429638.stm Watch the video LoL

^^It must be all the partying every weekend with your NGO friends I hear the weather has taken a turn for the better reer UK-ow. Is it true, is it true????? :mad: :mad:

Allah yarxamu I read about this on the train heading for the airport! There must have been 3 or 4 teenage deaths due to stabbings and this one a gun shot over the past week in the UK. Kids just don't give a damn anymore and feel like its normal to carry a knife. I actually saw someone getting beaten up on the street in Stratford!

I went to the Addidas store to check out the new France shirt and left the damn place in a hurry. This year's addidas shirts are horrid! I might get one anyway and keep up my France shirt collection with Zidane 10 as name and number :cool:

I saw this on the news but should it really be surprising? Monkeys have been know to be clever animals so does operating a robotic arm to grab food really mean anything? Interesting finding none-the-less.

Semis will include: Portugal Germany Holland Spain France are not as good as people think. I don't think they are well oiled with too many individuals.

I feel guilty now and currently thinking of changing my car,,,,,or maybe I'm just bored with it.

Well I have warned a few who are heading to Toronto for the football in June against excessive use of the accent

Geeljire, why laugh? They have a decent squad although I don't know the form of their main players. Any of the big teams can win it. Holland would also be a good bet. Nuune, no support for Sweden this year?? LoL

She has full dark lips and teeth like a row of wild Spanish villas! Wild Spanish villas? What, instead of tamed?

Originally posted by -Lily-: Since we are nomads by nature it’s no surprise that relocation is becoming more popular. In recent years, and more specifically at the present moment, more siblings, friends and even work colleagues have either been talking about relocating or have already relocated. The most popular places seem to be Dubai, Canada and Australia. What drives people to relocate? Is it the climate (some people, including myself, take this very seriously)? Is it the culture? The sense of adventure or new beginnings? Better prospects? Is the grass really greener on the other side? What do you consider ‘quality of life’ to mean? Would you consider relocating? Lily, Personally it was a combination of things that made us move. I have always been a bit of a free spirit moving around more times than your average farax in the UK whether it be for work or study. I was getting fed-up with the UK and my recent visit was a stark reminder as to why. High living costs coupled with the 7/7 bombings and a good opportunity made my mind up. The incentive of living in a Muslim country is always appealing aswell. We do have a better quality of life here and more time for family outings, more stuff for kids to do, sun all year round. Minus the months of May, June, July and August, the weather is very nice. Oh and the grass is greener on the other side :cool: Are you thinking about it? I won't be returning to Polska, sorry Britain any time soon if I can help it.
