    That's it then - you've had your chips. I'd get out before you become victim to an "accident" involving a bucket of water and a stray power lead...

    15p a cup.

    Cup 1- I asked for cappucino, got weak chocolate. Assumed I had pressed wrong button and tried again.

    Cup 2- Same happened.

    Cup 3 - Deduced there was a problem with cappucino, and tried for a 'chocomilk'. Machine spluttered and produced half cup of hot water.

    Arse!

    Why on earth give pantomime space to this clown?!

    I feel embarassed when I hear his QC spouting on about Prince Philip and secret plots.

    God I'm angry today. Virgin trains, conspiracy theories, coffee machine swallowed 45p and dispensed chocolate rather than coffee....

    There is an article in the paper today that shows Diana predicted her own death in a "car accident". She reckoned that Charlie was planning it so he could marry that wrinkled old horse face!!!

    Any one else reckon it smells of fish? And I don't mean the wrinkled old horse face either!!!!!

    He actually wanted to use 'murdered', 'killed' was the strongest he could get away with.

    The new(ish) deli across the road is well worth it for a lunch at your desk. Gravadlax Ciabatta mmmmm.

    The Micro Anvika concession is also quite handy since there's no Apple store in that part of London yet.

    Real snooty shoppers go to Harvey Nics, just down the road.

    I had a cream tea with a girlfriend there once - it cost about £25 - and that was 1989 ! Total rip-off.

    Went to Hamleys a couple of years ago and that was another let-down.
