Blog on Parkland Walk
I am a brand new cyclist and cycle to work via Hornsey Rd, full of potholes and cracks, and Liverpool Rd - also bad. I ride quite slowly but it still jolts my poor bike. I would hate to see the Parkland Walk tarmaced, it's perfectly charming a…

La Forchetta - finally open
Best place for cheap takeaway sandwiches is Dunn's. They will be a more regular treat now I can finally manage Crouch Hill on my bike. Cycle up, coast back down the hill and straight into the park to eat them (if it's ever sunny again).

New "Organic Place" on Hornsey Road
The macaw is blue and he's out pottering about the shop more often than he's in. I imagine Seasick Steve will always have the macaw, what else would he do with it? Release it into the wild to join the flocks of parakeets?

Helicopters very loud at Islington, Finsbury Park, Green Lanes
Poor drones must be bored senseless reading my messages. I suppose we could make sure all our mundane messages are secured from everyone so that the criminal element can have the freedom to run riot, but it seems a bit like cutting off your nose to …

If anyone does have one to lend it will be much appreciated, and it will mean that I won't have to devise a way to make one!

Thank you all. Some great ideas and sound advice there. @Ali 16th is my birthday, I might potter round there before birthday lunch. Good advice too.

I will abide by the rules, I stop at red lights too. Detritus has bought me a very loud horn which will scare the bejaysus out of any pedestrians flouting the rules and wandering along in the road. Particularly effective if you sneak up behind them …

Homelessness in Stroud Green
Guitar man from outside Tesco was walking past my house the other day with a mate, talking about the flat he was moving into. It's massive and has an en-suite bathroom apparently. I don't have an en-suite! Actually I wouldn't want on…

Sad news about the railway
I'm not a coffee geek but why would anyone prefer Starbucks to the array of coffee places already in SG. I imagine they will be targeting the theatre crowd, but people who live here have Vagabond, BBM and Dream River all of which, according to…

I don't (suspect it's all sunsets, cats and photos of dinners) but nice idea. Will be interesting to see other people's snaps.

INTERNSHIP PROGRAMME
People are desperate to do internships in big companies under the (mostly) misguided impression that it will lead to a paid job. It generally doesn't. No one who has an internship is going to ask to be paid, they know that they'll be stra…

Threading in Finsbury Park/Crouch End?
Best place is James Selby on Holloway Rd or thelittle cubby hole in Nags Head market. Both are MUCH cheaper than Selfridges! Both are very good.
