How you people manage to keep up with everything that is going on here is beyond me :confused: , I keep asking myself if there's something I'm missing, like a secret function I don't know of that kind of summarises everything that has been posted ?! :blink:

prettyxcool - congrats on your son's achievements. I have to agree I never imagined you were old enough to have a son of 18! Like a_person says you don't sound it either! But it's great that your son got his place at university when it has been particularly competitive this year. Great news.

And I'm v.keen to try the Brickhouse on Brick Lane, sounds like a lot of fun! Wonder if there will be any more four course meal deals though.
