Thanks everyone. @sutent, just want a bit more space. I'm getting a nice Georgian house for 3/4 of the price of a SG one-bed flat. I say that not to boast but with an exasperated shake of the head at how messed up the London market is. London is…

Thanks! The south coast, which I will refer to as Stroud-Green-on-Sea. It will be lovely, but I'm gutted to be going really.
-
I was lucky to be able to buy when I did, and have sold my flat for a sum that would make me giddy with delight, had the rest of the London market - and particularly N4 - not also gone on a dizzying rampage. Despite earning a good salary and profiti…

Not to worry Sophie, @vetski's going to help me out, though I may not even need them
-
Hi Sophie, have you still got the boxes? I might need them!

Council housing is not paid for by taxpayers; the rent councils receive for their housing stock is more than it costs to maintain and I believe the Treasury receives the extra, or at least some of it. So people in council housing, while enjoying sec…

It's so expensive - small jars of pasta sauce for around £7, bags of pasta for £4+! I'm sure it's very nice, and it doesn't usually take much to make me part with cash for any old tat but I had to walk out empty-handed. Seems more expensive than any…

I had this yesterday too, on two separate occasions - first was a young woman, the other time was a man (both in late teens/twenties I'd guess - didn't actually open the door). They said the name of their company but can't remember it now.

I've used Firkins for the last few years. They're good, but mainly I like their family history http://www.firkinschimneysweeps.co.uk/

I don't get why they think the local community should pay for this. If someone starts refurbing a building in a conservation area, replacing like-for-like should be budgeted for. It shouldn't simply be down to the renovators' "budget and time" as to…

Lovely shop! Shoring up hipster corner, there. The owner said we're also getting two new delis - one in the old hardware shop, and the other somewhere down near Hummingbird.
-
I quite like a multibuy, otherwise I'd echo most people's good advice above. Evening readings a must, unusual finds (I'd happily buy a new Persephone book every week), a space that feels like a treat to go into, and if you're going to have a coffee …

@missannie and @lucyabcde: IT WAS THE GIRLFRIEND BIT But, like I say, I'm going to overlook that. Good luck to her.
-
Well, I'm very excited about this shop. I'm her prime customer, partial as I am to Moleskines and soap. Someone on that other thread said it was a bit Labour & Wait. I love that shop. So, hurrah, basically. I have even decided to overlook a sen…

"The turkey twizzler of the internet." I might actually have to steal that. Alas, you're well behind on the handwriting classes though: http://idler.co.uk/product/courses/transform-your-handwriting-course/ Unless they stole it from you?

I don't believe Oliver would do such a thing. As for beards, that only confirms that my thesis is right. I have written the words "peak beard" in a notebook full of what are, quite frankly, the best ideas ever to be conceived. Beneath which are the…

Sorry to hear about your experience miss annie. How horrid, but well done for standing up to them in the first place. Looking forward to when Arkady is prime minister and we can say we knew him from the SG.org days.
-
Ooh, exciting. I want to sit in the SG seat. Went to see Daytona last week - it was brill.
-
Well, since I have never seen your Facebook page, I can't have nicked it from you (if that is what you're implying?). I'm sensing an accusatory tone, Andy. I've seen your beardy Twitter page - are you just angry that you're so mainstream now?!
-
The large number of Gooners and Turks (my peoples).

@andy - well, considering the Guardian's open-journalism-multi-media-coffee-platforms, it would certainly fit their ethos for anyone to have a go. I'm currently working out how they can monetise cat videos.

This is another useful site: http://www.tomforth.co.uk/guardiancomments/ Doesn't really capture the "I can't believe you get paid for this shit"-style comment though, which form approx 36% of total comments.

Sorry Patso, can't help (already have one) but you do know they're making it much easier to give your ticket to someone else this season for the games you can't go to - you can email someone your barcode for them to print or something. Means I won'…

I'll swap your (Saturday only) Stone Roses tickets for my Kings of Leon ones! Or looking to sell if anyone's interested (sorry to hijack thread). Wednesday at the O2, two tickets, £50 each face value, but will sell for less.

I need to start cycling again - not scared, just lazy. I was a cyclist before I learnt to drive, so I would consider myself a very cyclist-considerate driver, but it's alarming how many blind spots you have in a car, particularly if a deranged cycli…

I was there on Wednesday (think I even managed to work out who Arkady was, via previous descriptions). Very nice feel in general, especially liked the theatre dog wandering around. Staff were friendly, great bar for middle class people-watching. Don…

I've booked too! Anyone have any idea where our SG.org seat is? Think it was in the smaller space.
-
@missannie - jinx!

I don't know how they are with eyebrows but the woman who does the threading at Selby's prevents me from resembling Tom Selleck
