it's not that bad surely?

If memory serves me correctly, the council get approx 250k leaving 4.75 million for the organisers. It is outrageous - whether you feel it shouldn't happen or the opposite - the relative pittance haringey Council have negotiated for this borough …

wasn't it a kebab place called doms two weeks ago?

It seems very cheap - rough maths and I may be wrong, but a two day festival with two days of setup and one to pack up would be just over £11k. If its a two day festival selling 10,000 tickets at £100 each, £11k seems very low for venue hire. I…

lovely people, local too, In CH Pantry. The Japanese/pan-asian (hard to see through the windows )is next to urban native and butlers.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

@krappyrubsnif I think they've won a pulitzer and two peabodys, but each to their own I suppose...

Pigs anus related news, this podcast has a whole story on it being labeled 'Artificial Calamari' and exported all over the world. Very funny... https://www.thisamericanlife.org/484/doppelgangers

someone's flytipped one by jacks on Albert Road.

They had all the eviction signs up yesterday, getting squatters out.
-
might be a bit far, but, https://www.tufnellparkfootballschool.co.uk/ is very well run.

@LukeG I think that's the story of London for the past forty years - people being forced out due to increased prices. But blaming locals (nimby-ism) for not wanting the local park destroyed isn't the cause of it. It's tax sheltering, offshore acco…

@LukeG I suppose the issue is, it was out of balance. The council needs money but the balance of the necessity of it, vs. the local use of land designed for people who don't have access to gardens seemed out of kilter. In reality, the parks main u…

@libertyhall that for me was the key bit - the event was only a weekend but the fencing and essentially large shutting off of the park went on for weeks. It's purely psychological on my part but trying to enjoy a miniscule amount of peace and green…

There's a guy on hornsey road who i've used and was good, that was for railings though. https://www.yell.com/biz/hornsey-metal-works-london-2556250/#view=popup2799

Bleh. That's all I can intelligently muster.

Big Jo is a delight.

@Ali I think it's opportunistic rather than an evening plan, as it were. Crims hang out there and if they see someone vulnerable, they'll shift their attention to mugging. On a lighter running note - down stroud green road and towards clissold par…

Here's hoping it isn't turned into flats. It's a massive pub, must be hard to get decent returns on it.

@Brodiej I agree, on an international level, if the entire UK went carbon neutral our gain would be wiped out relatively quickly by other polluting countries, but... That doesn't mean we shouldn't try. More broadly, the argument that by trying to …

I should probably put this on the big jo thread but, i'm here so...big jo is fantastic. If you can, try the pizzette, I think they call it. Essentially a deep fried pizza. Incredible.

@Scruffy quite

I'm still narked (knarked?) off with Londis for charging a premium on loo rolls during the first lockdown.

It is a bit shit, you move to an odd and at times intimidating city in this fiasco. I agree, not a great look but I do sympathise greatly with them.
-
In what is probably poor parenting, I let my children choose the oddest looking beers in there for me to try at home. Mango stout was an adventure. Great shop. Jacks, also is a brilliant, eccentric beer shop. Fantastic selection and I know they'v…

The acerbic sarcasm of stroudgreen.org is a joy

good on you!

naked naked? He must have been quite cold.
