That's very strange. I work for the Grauniad and used to live in Stroud Green. It took me a bit longer than 15-20 minutes by bike, though. But then I am a bit slow and easily distracted. I miss this forum. I live in Hackney now and there aren't any…

If you're looking for a non-wicket taking, non-run-scoring all-rounder, give me a shout. I make good cakes at least.

@BTP That figures. Islington is only a short fifteen minute Boris cycle shamble away.

@ADGS I love BBC4, but I also feel that its interesting and eccentric documentaries would just have been on BBC2 or Channel 4 fifteen years ago, before they became largely dumping grounds for dross. A friend of mine used to work on the Dr Who …

Nottinghamshire is the midlands, South Yorkshire is the North, Despite having 'south' in its name.

I third the request for a Stroud Green Wimpy. I don't even know what the nearest Wimpy to Stroud Green is these days. It was probably the one in North Finchley but that's shut down now (not that the Wimpy website has updated its google map according…

Brodiej Ah yes, I've seen that clip. Following a night out on church street last Saturday I can confirm it is anthropologically accurate.

I am considering a move to the Stoke Newington / Dalston / Hackney triangle, but I worry I am not trendy enough.

I'm currently trying to find a place to rent in Stroud Green - thanks for all the tips.

This sounds AWESOME.

I didn't like the Dream River Cafe breakfast, the eggs weren't of this earth and the sausage was deeply disappointing. I like the Front Room breakfast a lot, though everyone in there is younger than me and can grow a beard unlike me

The one at the British Library is good too, lots of tramps watching the game and cheering on the opponents. http://www.flickr.com/photos/west-meets-further-west/4885161226/

Ah, Arklady beat me to it.

The one at St Pancras Station is good. It makes for an impressive backdrop for revealing one's ping pong skills http://londonlunchtimeproject.wordpress.com/2010/08/12/1-st-pancras-station-ping-pong/

It's not a dog toy Ted, it's a joke telephone

I don't like the automatic voice on the new Victoria Line trains. It's far too enthusiastic.

I feel your pain. Ten years ago my mum threw away all my back-issues of the NME, which would probably have been worth at least fourteen pounds in today's market. Throwing away a bike is just bizarre, though.

I forgot to add, it's a Japanese/Korean restaurant rather than just a Korean one. There's even a combined Korean & Japanese set menu, which you can eat in a spirit of cultural togetherness and pretend the 1905-1945 Japanese occupation of Korea n…

This might be superfluous now that miss annie has found the venue for her un-date, but as an area newbie I must recommend Dotori by Finsbury Park tube. I'm from Koreatown - New Malden, SW London - and so had been pining for a local slice of my homet…

That crossing gives me the heebie jeebies.

Hello, I'm new here. I went to Finsbury Cycles a couple of weeks ago to get a new back tyre for my Dahon. The man asked: "Would you like a shit one or a good one?" I replied: "A... good one?" Finsbury Cycles are great.
