  • I describe myself to foreigners as being English. People form Scotland never say they are British. People from Wales never say they are British. People from Ireland never say they are British. Why do people from England who say they are English …
  • Re: Paradise, I am interested at just who thinks decor 'to the highest specification' is polystyrene ceiling tiles and green office carpet. It doesn't look at all salubrious at the entrance point either *shudders*
  • Torture Garden is hardly as casual, though is it Misscara?
  • Nearly all my female friends whinge and wish there was something like this for straight people. Maybe in the next 100 years we will have evolved to stop thinking that women with sex drives are worthless sluts.
  • Don't go. Seriously, just don't. Nobody will make you do anything you don't want to. It's not a rape den, my dear. However you will probably find yourself looking at the floor, trying to avoid eye contact or constantly telling people that you are n…
  • I would just like to make it known to people who don't know a lot about the gay community that not all of us agree with saunas existing as an outlet for sexual urges with strangers, despite the fact we may have spent some time in one in the past. I …
  • Hi there - so sorry, the room has already gone! Many thanks
  • I bought an inflatable rave happy face balloon for my flatmates 30th and she swiped the table of her other gifts to make way for it. She nearly wept she loved it so much. Who says balloons are just for kids?
  • I regularly drive straight through the red light at the bottom of SGR just under the bridge (before the main lights at Seven sisters road junction) because it is just plain ridiculous how long they keep you there. I timed it once. Three minutes on…
  • hear, bloody hear, kreuzkav.
  • the one thing I bear in mind on the internet in general is that most people, without the ability to read their tone, mood or intent like you can face to face, can come across as total cunts. Myself included. Pinch. Salt. And breathe.
  • If I was the victim of the original subject of this thread I wouldn't be too pleased with how it turned out. Not going to troll here, but fucking hell, a woman was raped, could you not start a different thread for your pithy 'sexism in public' remar…
  • there's a time and a place for vocab pedants and this particular thread is not it. Shame on you, you know who you are. I shall be informing my female flatmate of these incidents. I do worry about women on their own late at night, most of my friends…
  • it was a pathetic joke. But I'm gay, so I can make it.
  • may I recommend getting a gay flatmate before you fork out for this?
  • This week I saw someone had written abuse in red over a missing cat poster on SGR that read 'middle class cunts'. Possibly related?
  • my two penneth worth I don't like dope or ecstasy, it has ruined the lives and mental health of two people I know, one of whom subsequently committed suicide (dope), the other had a stroke and lost mobility of his left side aged 22 (pills). Man…
  • Oh, joy. I didn't know about any murder on Sunday, either. Not good.
  • I would like to know what's going on also, since it sounds RIGHT outside my house.
  • who are ANY of these people?! Yeah Kathy Burke looking rough as fuck walking up Upper street totally not drawing any attention whatsoever in the morning. Jude Law looking extremely smart and hungover at 8am on Sunday limping (literally, limping!) …
  • apart from simon pegg I haven't heard of a single 'celebrity' in this thread! I used to live on Upper Street and would see REAL A listers all the time; Kathy Burke, Jude Law, Clive Anderson (LOL). Stroud Green not too good for calibre, methinks.
  • I hope that wasn't a gripe at me - I'm working class born and bred from up north - and they don't like homeless drug abusers on their streets up there either.
  • to hell with that topic - the fetish end to this thread is FAR more compelling! Lived here three years and only seen shouting afro man and a cockney woman who looks like a dishevelled Babs Windsor who politely stops you and asks for money, and wh…
  • Am I the only one who still is confused why it's apparently not OK to want people who take drugs outside a shop on a high street to be moved on, or is that just stirring up the shit again? You simply CANNOT claim a piece of pavement and turn it into…
  • oh, the wax ones are just incredible. All you can hear is your heartbeat.
  • so far no noise pollution. I wish them well.
  • I live above The Stapleton, opposite the Old Dairy, on traffic lights. Muffles wax earplugs from Boots block out EVERYTHING except vibrations from stereos and I simply cannot recommend them enough on noisy SGR nights (or nights where I want a goo…
  • au contraire, the more those warehouse style buildings by John Jones hide this one, the better, as far as I'm concerned. The main reason I'm so offended by it is that its monolthic appearance is not softened by its immediate surroundings. It looks l…
  • LOL!!!! Freudian slip. Other new developments that are more imaginative are the flats at the bottom of green lanes near Newington green (with a Tesco beneath them) that are covered in wood panelling. Unfortunately this has weathered very badly in t…
  • I am astounded that anybody could think there is even an ounce of creativity or imagination involved in the design of this building! I often wonder if architects think about the long term when designing these buildings. THAT STRUCTURE IS GOING TO BE…
