    Just another day by sounds of it. So used to Daily Doom™ that it seems to have less of an affect. Nurse! Increase the dosage

        On the upside, its Friday, the weather is super sunny and gorgeous and its curry night tonight!

            Today was a bad day on the train - no Telegraph, times or independent so I had to suffer the guardian!

            Still - could have been worse - could have been the daily mail

              I bought the Mail today as I couldn't face buying the Sun. The choice was limited.

              Might watch Corra tonight though (see page 13)...

                You are nothing compared to Blaster. Just an amateur.

                Bring Blaster back, I'd say and leave these things to the doom professionals.
                I've seen much of the rest of the world. It is brutal and cruel and dark, Rome is the light.

                  The fall in house prices has accelerated in England and Wales, according to the Land Registry.

                  Its latest report shows that prices fell by 1.9% in August, taking the annual rate of price deflation to 4.6%.

                  The figures mean that the average property now costs £174,493; £8,320 less than a year ago, with £3,871 of that drop occurring last month.

                  Prices in London fell by 3.2%, the first monthly fall since the Registry started publishing its figures in 2000.

                    Agreed Francko.

                    You can't beat Blaster's patented Copper-Bottomed Cauldron of Doom.

                    You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.
