I’ve been going to Nice Smile (next to Tesco on SGR) for 8 years. Always happy with my treatment there.

@HolbornFox “Cool” enough to have my own bike, actually, and a tad more “cool” for it being powered somewhat more renewably by me own gams, not like these limp-limbed whelps who wouldn’t use a carving knife were it not electric, so there! I’ve over…

How remarkable! I haven’t witnessed this in real life, but I wonder how this has come about, especially considering that (at least in Stroud Green) there’s bugger-all queueing for buses these days.
-
Excuse me for not keeping up with the times (o, the times!), but am I to take it that “braysters” is a neologistic contraction of “braying cuntsters”?

One more: I posted “Tory cortége curbs hard-on”, but I can’t remember the solution! It contains the terms “Hornsey Road”, “Trocadero”, and “Crouch End”, but I don’t think any of them help with the full anagram. Anyone?
-
I had forgotten about these. Looks as if they weren’t solved, so about year later, here are the solutions: Iris is proprietor = Rooster’s Piri Piri Baron Evil Dick = Brick and Olive

Mild? Where are you finding mild, @HolbornFox ???

(This was a lively place a few years ago. Why has stroudgreen.org changed?)

@kreuzkav Indeed, it was “The White Lion of Mortimer” —Mortimer being used frequently in Wetherspoons’ names (The Mortimer Arms, etc.)

Pedestrian barriers, crossing islands, road markings, signs on poles/posts, roundabouts; all urban clutter mainly necessitated by the volume of cars London accommodates. We don’t have architecture any more in the sense of the term including aestheti…

All seemed fine with the Singh bros when I went to Jack’s the other week, though I never see both of them the at the same time these days. What of Stalinist Steve? Is he still around, anyone?
-
@krappyrubsnif Perhaps I’m missing something, but I can explain my lack of interest in commemorating the anniversary: It seems the SG Corporation was an eating and drinking club for the well-heeled, spoofing civic corporations, and taking the pis…

I imagine this has happened to most urban neighbourhoods in London in recent years. I’m third generation in the same house and just old enough to remember this area as far back as the early 1970s. Things do seem to have generally got worse, but the …

I remember when the White Lion opened in the ‘80s (the space had been two or three shops before that) It was a Wetherspoons, and made to look like a traditional Victorian pub (well, a Victorian pub that happened to have a cast iron street lamp insid…

Walked in, looked around, looked at the pumps, got the measure of the acoustics (it’s very noisy when busy), walked out. Nothing to be said for it. The Shaftesbury is pretty good if you don’t mind the walk from SGR.

"Sorry" doesn't come into it. This Hakata arsehole—or whoever pulls his strings—should be sacked, if not prosecuted.
-
“The greater good”??? Surely you mean the lesser evil, @krappyrubsnif ? It kills me that voting Labour in a general election (as probably the only way to beat the Conservatives) will be claimed as an endorsement by the likes of Starmer.
-
Damn! I’m disappointed. They were good, and always seemed to be busy. Owners and staff all seemed to be quite young. I wonder why they closed. I can’t recommend any alternatives, as I’ve been going only to Clever Mike since buying my bike from them…
-
Indeed some heartwarming agreement going on here. Nationalise ALL the public utilities, I say. I was pleasantly surprised last week by how straightforward and safe Highbury Corner now is for cyclists, when I cycled through for the first time since i…

Where can I get a non dog? Or is it just a cat?

Pfff! Big surprise! "Sham" cult? Surely they're ALL shams (even the ones regarded as "genuine" religions)? Any religion/cult (I'd love to know what the logical distinction is) that takes your money is operating the greatest con going: Selling a pro…

Pfff! Whatsapp? Mugs' App, more like. Another instance of you (yes, you, dopey!) being the commodity for sale.

Welk done, Rikki and therattle. A bit off-topic, yet topical: Rishi Sunak = Hi-risk anus.

Could be a street, pub, shop, restaurant…

Good luck with the protest, but please—since you were fastidious enough to make a distinction between drummers and musicians—don’t confuse Harringay (as in the neighbourhood and both stations) with Haringey (the borough).

Hats off to Lawrence Singha (who in the past I've teased with the notion of him being a fictitious character) for starting the petition. The figures cited suggest corruption to me: Council members getting backhanders to agree to such a feeble deal.
-
@Patso I don't know why those kind of comments would put people off (from) commenting. After all, they didn't stop you. To what exactly are you objecting? I don't happen to have an echo chamber, but I'm blessed with the ability to enjoy a rant anywh…

Some of my best friends have piles. It’s wicked to mock the afflicted.

And often circling for several minutes at a time over Stroud Green, no doubt to admire the view.
