I Have Found the Answer.

Alcohol. Lots and lots of lovely alcohol.

In less local news a small fuss has been caused by Newcastle United Football Club's decision to change the name of their stadium from "Saint James' Park" to "The Sports Direct Arena." Sports Direct of course being the retail chain owned by Newcastle United's owner Mike Ashley. The story is a reference to the announcement today (10/11/11) that the Mayor of London Boris Johnson welcomes the plans by the Australian Westfield group to take over the Whitgift shopping centre in Croydon in order to help the borough recover from the August riots. As the Whitgift shopping centre is the main cash cow for the Whitgift Estate one can only assume they've recently received a rather large insurance bill.

Elsewhere a panel of British Members of Parliament (MP's) referred to a certain Chief Executive as being "the first mafia boss in history who did not know he was running a criminal enterprise." While I couldn't possibly know what that was a reference too it is worth noting because the panel of MP's featured Louise Mench. This Conservative Party freshmen famously appeared on the BBC1 comedy show "Have I Got News For You" at the height of the Ryan Giggs/Super injunction scandal and courageously named the footballer who took out an injunction to prevent us all from knowing that he'd been shagging Imogen Thomas. The only problem was she named the wrong footballer.

Anyway in testament to the start of the fourth series of "The Mentalist" at the curious time of 22:00 I must tell you my great August riots war story. I actually spent most of it watching "Empire Records" a 1994 film featuring a rather young and incredibly bald Agent Theresa Lisbon.
