5	Amanda Farah	9	That is one very odd, very disappointing post. It's a lovely shop, but even if only one person working there feels that way, I wouldn't want to give my business if everyone agrees enough to leave tha... On July 17, 2008 12:50 AM in Bizarre Bicycle Blogging

10	London_Sian	6	ooooh, that's hardly fair... If I'm not wrong she dropped out of the Orange Prize judging because of her miscarriage... I don't think you can have too much awareness on an issue like this. I don't us... On July 11, 2008 6:36 PM in Four Dead From Knife Crimes And Calls For Change
11	Mr Thant	5	Ah, I forgot they're putting in lifts down to the tube platforms and extending one of the subways. There's not a lot of tunneling involved as the whole complex is so shallow (the "subway" is actually ... On July 21, 2008 1:07 PM in Platform 9 and 3/4 To Be Disapparated
12	London_DaveK	5	The pancakes were not even remotely fluffy and the syrup did indeed taste quite weird. The service was abyssmal: we waited over 10 or 15 minutes before they even offered to get us a coffee. Free refil... On July 13, 2008 12:46 AM in Londonist Reviews: The Diner Camden
13	Kingpin	5	Maybe we should just bomb Croyden back to the stonage. What in God's name has happened to the country? Oh, yeah. Labour happened. Really, if this isn't any sort of proof to support a major interv... On July 19, 2008 1:39 AM in Civilisation Dies A Little In Croydon
14	Matt	5	I've gotta disagree with you about the Tower, Deano. £16.50 sounds a lot, but there's so much to see at the Tower you could easily spend three hours. This includes a Beefeater-led tour of 950 years of... On July 21, 2008 12:52 PM in Tourist Temptations Too Costly For Some
15	JMH	4	I guess it depends on whether you take "America" to mean "The United States of America" or "the land mass including North America, Central America and South America." If the latter, then "tour of Ame... On July 22, 2008 8:17 PM in West Ham Fans In Transatlantic Tiff

18	Babb	3	But the urban legend dates back to the 80s and the BBC article is about an incident in 2004. That's a bit of a tenuous link, if you ask me, and there's no mention in the article of this being in any ... On July 20, 2008 10:41 PM in The Saturday Strangeness
19	esotericbadger	3	DeanN, you're right, and it's odd that the article seems to suggest otherwise. Strictly speaking, it was originally a suggestion made by Darcus Howe that older Caribbean people might feel more comfor... On July 18, 2008 10:27 AM in Bizarre Bicycle Blogging
