    I need to ask - what was he arrested for? Or is 'suspicion of being VTech' now an arrestable offence? ;)

    He'll decide what the charge is if a bribe isn't forthcoming.

    No offence taken Colin. On your salary you would probably struggle to keep up with me on a night

    I arrested someone last night, he earns more in a week than I earn in a year apparently. See his watch, it cost more than my car (despite him having no idea what I drive)

    See his jeans £400 they cost....

    His shoes were hand made too.

    I could tell you how much every single thing he was wearing cost, I have no idea why he thought I was interested. And he also made it clear I would never afford any of his wealthy trapping on my lowly wage.

    I did actually ask him if he goes by the name Vtech on the internet.... He says he didn't so it must just be a coincidence..... :lol:

    The thing is - knowing of a decent restaurant either in or around Knightsbridge is hardly ground-breaking stuff. The place is probably full of them, as is the surrounding area, I expect...

    Reminds me of when I used to go whitewater kayaking there was a huge slab of rock on the River Dart that you could seal launch down and do pop outs like that :D

    tbh decent restaurants in knightsbridge are rare, there are plenty of mediocre ones though, and some are just dire

    i grew up there, 38 pont street, george lazenby was upstairs neighbour, and another neighbour, nice american old lady, mrs maine, gave me my first cat, ginger, as a kid i remember lobbing ice cubes off of the nearby carlton towers for fun (after a couple of rebrands it's now a bloody jumeirah, ye gods and little fishes), the harrods food department used to have dry ice to keep things cold until you got home, big chunks of it, which led to many interesting experiments, happy days

    /flashback to age of innocence, soz

    it used to be upstairs downstairs/jeeves and wooster territory, but that was a long time ago, these days it's shallow and tasteless

    ah, I just realised my mistake - I should have said 'expensive', not 'decent'... ;)

    He punched someone. In the face.

    Never got to the bottom of it... Bloke probably wasn't giving him the respect he deserved or needed.

    He'd just flown back from the far east you know, business class too. :roll:

    Yes, it is impressive. I've never lived in London and have considered it.

    As for the usual guff, I can accept that but could you imagine the reaction if I said one of my neighbours was a top premiership player (much smaller house than mine btw) or that when I'm in Miami this week I'll be staying at brad Pitts house and when in then fly to LA at the weekend I'll be stopping at simon cowels house. Imagine the shat storm that would cause !

    It's all relative really. One mans guff is another mans gold.

    The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

    Oh!
    Never mind. I suppose your wit and repartee over the phone will keep her happy.
    And she will have her personal trainer to make sure she doesn't get frumpy in your absence.

    Yes, every Monday Tuesday Thursday and Sunday morning.

    You can hate all you like but who is the winner ? I like to look at a sexy woman rather than a fat middle aged woman who let herself go and blamed it on having kids. There is always time in the day for someone to do a few sit-ups and rid the belly fat.

    Brilliant stuff - nice block. I've done some jobs the other side of that little square. Lovely properties - some very nice decorative brickwork.

    I am sure a different time though. As a student nurse in the 60s, my mother lived in Claborn Mews. Doubt a student nurse could afford that nowadays!

    That little gem sums up the housing bubble today.
    Totally out of control!
    The price of housing needs to fall back to come in line with wages as the current system is unsustainable.
    Not that it will happen voluntary as too many would get caught in negative equity or lose out on investments.
    It will take a bigger crash than 2008 to happen, but happen one day it will.

    Is it John Terry you live next to? Is that why she isn't going?

    The problem is, as this is the internet you have no idea if that is true or not but I would hazard a guess most would actually opt for the true option.

    Well, I don't care what anybody else says - I for one am really impressed. To be fair, staying at Simon Cowell's house is the kind of thing that most of us can only dream of. The reality is that most of us will never achieve that kind of status. Quite literally, awesome.
