New Garden Bridge for London
That's gorgeous.

School 4 Scandal
Very enjoyable show, though they could have done with spending more time practising the crucial scene with the screen, and less on the somewhat unnecessary musical interludes.

Left Unity - Crouch End & Haringey Groups
So when the Labour party was formed by people who could have been working to reform the Liberals from the inside, they were self-indulgent (pre-)Naderite idiots? I'm not saying this particular idea is a great one, but the idea that any new …

What SGR really needs...
Misscara - I have always been very happy with the newsagent on Tollington Park, and there's a stationer's just over the road at the beginning of Blackstock (edit - see this was mentioned on the second page). With you on the sweetshop, thou…

It's going to be LOUD.
Is the 'Marr' a deliberate pun (given he supported), or can the guy just not spell? People looking for loos and not finding them is one thing, but a friend had someone just pull down her pants and piss where she stood (well, squatted a…

Would love to see a waitrose at SGR!
There's also one in the arcade off Kingly Street in Soho, though the stock there is never very exciting.

If showing the building in the environment where it will actually exist, and hopefully make sense, is not a priority, then why not just go all out and show what it would look like on Mars, with two moons hanging above in the manner of a prog rock al…

Finsbury Park Station - what could have been
I'd rather have Parkland Walk, but this is pretty. Quite seaside-y.

On Friday I met Johnny Dean from Menswear - after being mistaken for him a couple of times - and was stroked as I walked past Jaime from Marion. My teenage self is very happy (my thirtysomething self is fairly happy too).

Mimsy - I used to go to some great clubs at the Cross Kings, have very fond memories of a time five of us were sat on the sofa outside dressed as different Doctors, disproving the Blinovitch Limitation Effect. Apologies if we were too noisy about it…

Looks like all the nearby buildings are being demolished to show it off to best advantage.

Are you too scared to cycle in London?
Easier to pull over a cyclist, I guess. On the other hand, you can get a car's number and send the fine in the post.

Re: sell-outs - I'm referring to the 'art' created by John Squire which consisted of him writing ""I have no desire whatsoever to desecrate the grave of seminal Manchester pop group The Stone Roses". Clearly the second …

It was written that way for a while, but I don't think they were as rigid about it as 5ive (which makes even less sense).

Of course, the important nineties revival gig this weekend isn't that tuneless, homophobic ape and his sell-out sidekicks - it's Johnny Dean from Menswear making his live return down the road in Highbury, and that's where I shall be o…

World cafe (ex Chapter One)
Went past last night around 9, it was almost comically empty. Two tables each with two people at them, I think one was the staff/owners.

Funding issues, wasn't it? Very annoyed at how much of the park is already off-limits on account of a for-profit show, in a week's time, by a band who've been atrocious for almost 20 years (and I'm more charitable about the …

Are you too scared to cycle in London?
I've not cycled since I was a kid, so the idea of London biking terrifies me, but then I walk pretty quickly anyway. The whole business where people take sides on drivers/cyclists/pedestrians annoys me. Almost everyone is in at least two of…

Potholes
“general good condition” clearly means 'more than half of the road surface, by area, is not pothole'.

The tactile experience, yes; the smell, not so much.

BT Broadband
My laptop occasionally loses the signal, more than formerly but still only every few days at most, and if it can't be sorted on the PC. a hub reboot does the trick.

Stroud Green - Planning Applications
Not directly relevant, but I was reminded of it yesterday, it's been bugging me for years, and this is as good a place as any to ask - Ferme Park Road, right at the top of the hill, there are about four houses with raised, concrete front g…

Bloody Hell. And even by local newspaper standards, that is an astonishingly illiterate article.

Which is to say, prevents cyclists making the most of it (ie being able to attain top speed). Which is to say that it enables pedestrians and wildlife to make much more use of it than they would some ghastly road-by-any-other-name.

Helicopters very loud at Islington, Finsbury Park, Green Lanes
A fine compromise. Re: cyclists, simply because a bike is less damaging than a car, one really has to take that into account and shoot only to maim.

To be honest, if they had drones hovering around London's traffic lights, gunning down drivers who think they're too important to obey reds, I would be entirely in favour of that.
