Dorcas and me are just back from a boozy Valentine's meal at Black Sea but we let the Lorne Road gang back for a poker game: I am useless at pretending. Came on here out of habit and forgot ,in my cups, I was an exile. But you all seem to have fal…

‘The mark of a civilised society is its willingness to welcome strangers’ Mark Twain Last night I went with family and friends to see the new National Theatre version of Frankenstein with Jonny Lee Millar directed by Danny Boyle. It was a preview…

Steve Grant told me on tuesday in the Park Tavern. He heard it from Jacky at the Council. I have searched to find who has bought Chapter One but can't find anything - maybe the original promoters still have an interest?

the yogi bear film is out tomorrow so it shows what can be done in 3d

Apparently the decision to grant a licence in the old Chapter One bar to Gents Club 'Slappers' has gone to appeal. I don't think it's an appropriate use of SG road and I hope others will lobby their Cllrs or write to Islington Council. However, t…

This is good news, it's a great cafe (and yes the Crouch End staff are terrible, but that is because they are never paid on time). Importantly for SG folk , Vitor, so close to the booming cafe action, is looking to do a deal to cut the hair of the…

It is no longer there - I looked when visiting friends who live there

The new live action/cartoon Flump film will be party filmed in Finsbury Park by Disney according to Film London website

Well these are austerity times, so that's not a bad idea! But I fear I'll take another rolling pin bashing from Dorcas not to mention show off Chang getting all superiour. Mind you, a fiver...it's quite tempting

Drumbeg, that is one helluva video. Where is Andrew Ridgley when you want him? For a hairdresser the facial styling is a bit off but fair play he has a voice and goodluck to him and his other videos show he has something. Maybe BGT is around the…

I once had a holiday in Vietnam with Dorcas in the early days of our courtship. I had been in Australia as a buckaroo so had eaten some Vietnamese food there as they were quite eclectic food-wise. The holiday was a bit of a wash out and we had gut r…

thanks that's a useful suggestion. Are you still running those night time tours for tourists?
-
I have not been there but am interested in their publicity which sounds very exciting and breathless. I have been looking for some where for a Valentine's special meal for me and Dorcas and it sounds quite promising, and pizza is very filling. My br…

David - get a hair cut mate!! LOL

That is amazing. Perhaps we should rethink, or at least reshape the idea that has been proposed, tho expense would be a factor. Thanks for the suggestion. The consensus was a new design should be child-friendly and perhaps educational, specially …

Yes the butchers at the bottom of Crouch Hill is the best. It used to rejoyce in the name Meat Master but was renamed a year or so ago. The do a lot of restaurants so have access to a surprising range of stuff.

Well...over the years my family and I have tried most hairdressing establishments locally, even including Doreens, but excluding Beyond Glam (we are quite a hairy bunch and aren't self deluded to think we could go 'glam' let alone beyond it...) . An…

The final proposals for the mural will be reviewed tomorrow. If you have any final thoughts please let us know before 5pm. We have still to raise all the money for the repaint but the school is reasonably confident it can be done by the end of the s…

Does anyone recall Lord John outfitters? Or John Collier ('the window to watch'). There's no style on the highstreet anymore (Vitor's customers excepted).

Jez (artistic director) is asking what we all want for the opening show. His idea of 'N4 story' is interesting but could end up being a bit arid. On the otherhand Busby (on here) had some wonderful stories of the 40s and that would make a much bett…

Andy, have you been watching the Flumps again on UK Gold Jr?
-
ps the correct spelling (and I had to say this to my youngest last week) is ARSE
-
3) and 8) I agree with , but surely you would like to see again Love Thy Neighbour and Get Some In? Ps the new Park Theatre, Wells Terrace, are doing in their first season a musical of Man About the House - could be good; I always used to fanc…

Welcome Fernando, and good man for going to Vitor- you have both style and elan. Tom

I know, it's a burden, but I carry it lightly. It might be the cultural legacy of the street, the can-do attitude of some of the residents (especially Hassan and Joyce who are local firecrackers) plus if you look into it, the Twitter feeds about Lo…

This is so true.

Well (!) that's an 'extreme' response to some real chortle-fest faves, but fair play to you for boldness, Siolae. I hestitate to ask if you have booked for Roy 'Chubby' Brown on the bank holiday at Rowan's in FP (not my cup of tea either to be fran…
