I think 'Casualties' closes on Sunday 14th. If you can possibly get to it by then, do.
Four absolutely stand-out fantastic performances in exactly the right intimate venue. Alex Fearns is mindblowing in the last scene.
This show is the reason we h…
@kreuzkav In fact you don't need to be a parent to be a Community Governor, which is what SG are looking for two of. There are Parent (and Staff, and Local Authority) Governors too, but Community Governors do what it says on the tin - represent the …
I tried the %20 thing last night too.
Vanilla must be stripping out the '%20' and spaces and stuff - if you 'edit the source' of a message so it reads like so:
@Papa L
you get:

Which looks fine when you're editing a comment, but contra…
Hi Maz,
We've one child in reception and one in nursery.
The Capitol Hill thing is fascinating - in days gone by I was babysat by a circle administered a bit like that (though much more simply).
The 'paradox of thrift' sounds a bit like the titl…
No circle I'm aware of, but I'd be interested in hearing of one, or setting one up.
We've two kids smaller than yours and in the Lancaster Rd area. Would that suit you geographically?
I don't know whether it's possible now, but it'd be an idea to …
Nearly 30 and you haven't got your name on the waiting list for hip replacements? That's living life on the edge.
This is anecdote rather than studied fact: when we moved from Islington to Haringey from the (we thought pretty good) Hanley Road surg…
I, finally, checked. The pregnancy yoga we went to as a couple was a one-day course at Yoga Junction - then at FP but now as someone else said in Crouch End...
We did one of the NCT weekend ('we've left it too late to do evening') antenatal courses in Islington, which I'd really recommend - we met lots of mums and dads to be (and one 'returning' couple) and learnt a great deal which I'd've never got from a…
It inspires a great deal of confidence in the ATM at the new Sainsbury's, which presumably punts out tens of thousands of pounds every week, that it tells my bank statement that it's in the so-up-and-coming-no-one's-heard-of-it-yet north-London subu…
Schleswig-Holstein indeed. We just need to pay a gentleman with "kilt knob" to stand and expose himself to speeding cars: a good deterrent I think, though at what range it would work might be rather, um, apparatus-specific.
Flashers don't need to b…
Thanks @andy.
I woke up in the middle of the night Monday/Tuesday.
During subsequent drowsy musings I realised that not only did two or three of the protoganist characters in the recent deterioration of the discourse here seem to be one and the sa…
Aware that you're nearly drowning in the things, but you can have mine if you like and if other timings work out less well.
Could hand over on SGR somewhere at 5-6pm tonight.
Is this you? Very nice!
Is it an SLR/does it have interchangeable lenses?
I don't know whether one can clean the sensors on other cameras - certainly, doing it would be a job for a real pro (because you'd have to take the whole thing to bits), and, depending on the value …
1) Policing is undoubtedly a difficult job done in difficult circumstances.
2) Officers deliberately put themselves in harm's way at the whim, ultimately, of our elected representatives.
3) The black-market trade in illegal drugs causes untold miser…
I read somewhere that if you put any old common-or-garden dubstep on your stereo and play it really loud at precisely three times the BPM of the reggae they cancel each other out. Bit like those posh Bose earphones.
Only works in your living room, …
Birdhouse in Your Soul/TMBG - reminds me of getting my tonsils out as a kid - lad in the bed opposite had this on the first CD Walkman I ever saw.
Not that I've seen many since, mind you.
On my version of the map it looks rather more like the Nursing Home/Stroud Green Clinic bear the real brunt of andy's wrath (aka Clause 13(4)(d)(ii) of the Health and Social Care Bill 2011).
I feel desperately unpatriotic and disloyal, but I've always rather liked the simplicity of working in base 10.
I think legally people selling fruit and veg always need to display price per kg, but can display that alongside price per pound. But pe…
