Normally, Coffee House prides itself on being the cafe that never sleeps. But now, after four years — and a particularly furious recent few weeks — we're taking a weekend break to cool our typing fingers and our keyboards.
Normal service will, of course, resume on Monday. In the meantime, you can either use this post as an open thread, or head over to the CoffeeHousers' Wall.

But i wonder if they'll resist the temptation to blog about Mirror group now being firmly implicated.

FIFA and Winewhouse were going to happen sometime, but the norway thing is very strange.

The news is terrible. The killings Norway, the UK nurse accused of murdering her patients, in the US the discovery of a man who kept 11 corpses in his apartment, Amy Winehouse dead, on and on it goes. I said it is like an evil spirit is afoot, a devil. Does anybody recall the film "The Omen"? Well this latest news from the BBC website really gave me the shivers. Think I'd better stop reading and listening to world events.

Are you cutting back on staff ??

July 24th, 2011 5:26pm Report this commentVery sensible indeed, Pete, in fact I recommend thinning back weekend posts to one day's worth only.
Personally, I would welcome a general reduction 7 days, just too much Coffee House at times.
