Your classic German Grand Prix 12:26pm on 08 Jul 2009 1982 Highlights link is incorrect. It should be:

(Being clever I guessed that the extra 0 after the seven digit file code was superfluous.)
The problem that's hanging around 3:08pm on 02 Dec 2008 Hanging around is not something all teenagers do. I didn't hang around street corners in the cold - In was probably too scared of the other kids who used to hang around my neighbourhood for such non-activities!

I'm 32. Things haven't changed much since 1991, say, except that the games consoles have improved. But if that was true then, it would suggest that those who loiter on street corners now, are similarly not the harmless kids who'd prefer to be off playing sport, computer games or doing something creative.

It's strange being able to remember older people taking against you because of your age, and now being nervous/wary of loitering gangs of teenagers.

Of course, for the most part it is an irrational fear, and you have to remember that they're probably just good kids, bored. However, the comments of enough people on this forum suggest that it's clearly not always the case.
How close to capitulation? 4:27pm on 06 Oct 2008 It must be serious if the BBC et al are spending so much time speculating ("How close to capitulation?" etc), thereby ensuring a dire situation gets worse. But then, you're right, it's your jobs to do this. Of course. Silly me.
