For those of you interested in the Olympics, the Torch Relay will be heading through Brickers on the 26th July, I think along Coldharbour and Acre Lanes between Camberwell and Clapham. Should be at around lunchtime...

I think it's also going along Camberwell New Road - I thought it was the 27th, but I might be mistaken.

I think they do a pretty good pizza. Given I don't eat meat, they always have a decent selection. My only gripe is sometimes their plates aren't hot enough, which means your pizza goes cold a little too quickly. (And you have to go in the daytime on a weekday, or the queues are mental.)

Yeah, you could probably call them 'pretty good'. They seem to be raved about like they produce pizzas that are out of this world, though. They don't.

Yep. It's a good pizza. Miles better than any takeaway or Pizza Hut/Express etc. But not world beating. When I first went there a few years ago with a mate from north London, he was going to me "mate, you HAVE to take me to that place, they're supposed to be the best pizzas IN THE WORLD outside of Italy." They weren't. There's $4 places in New York that shit all over Francos. But I still enjoy eating there.

This is why I said they were over-rated. I didn't say they were shit.
 
If you go somewhere thinking it's going to be fantastic, and it's no better than 'good', then it can very disappointing.

My attitude to pizza is ''it's just pizza'' and I only got round to going to Franco Manca's for the first time few months ago having been told so many times that it's amazing. Regardless I did really like it. Definitely a cut above.

The second time I went it was ok, ''just pizza''. I generally prefer dirty Pizza Hut style to Pizza Express which has the most dull over-rated pizzas in the world.

In other news I have bought 4 pairs of shoes from TKMaxx and 2 handbags since they opened, mostly last night and tonight. :oops:

The joys of working and having money :)

Have you bought shoes to make you taller?
 
In scotland you can do o grades in maths and arithmetic.

I think the idea was you could get one in arithmetic showing you could add up and things even if you couldn't get a maths one, which isn't a bad idea.

We had separate Maths and Arithmetic lessons as well. I think I got more than a U grade in Arithmetic, but I don't think I got a CSE for it :oops:

Greasy spoon lasagne ain't - it's like school dinners

Yeah I know, but if there was a place like Franco Manca that did lasagne, it would be better than pizza which is just dough and cheese. Although I like it well enough and FM do it well.

And I spelled lasagne wrong earlier as you had and I thought you were right but now you've spelled it right again:mad: Being unemployed is turning you illiterate.
 
Just a reminder of what we were warned at the time of the election - since DC is up before the beak today
