  • Ian's jumper had baby sick streaked down the front of it. Is he still country set?
  • Islington took away our tree today - same day as the rubbish and recycling.
  • There is a new regime in power in Islington since the speed bump consultation debacle. Perhaps this lot will listen to residents round here. (If any Islington councillors are reading this: I want wheely bins to make the street look nice. They hav…
  • This thread might help:
  • I also went to Blossoms for the first time the other week and was blown away by how cool and interesting the salon is inside. Just the sort of independent shop that makes a high street really unique. Anyway, as Emma says, the cut was great and the…
  • For those who are interested in critiques of The Spirit Level, RSA hosted a debate between the authors and the two people who have written criticisms of the book. The audio is available here: [RSA](http://www.thersa.org/events/audio-and-past-events…
  • I wish you hadn't told us about the board in the hall. Now I'll get anxious about whether to deviate a few steps each day to look at the board or not...
  • We vaguely looked at moving to that area south of the park, but it wasn't cheaper than here (west side of Stroud Green) so we didn't. The roads close to Arsenal are far more expensive. The cheaper areas nearby are out towards Holloway Road and the…
  • I think they should replace the single yellow under the bridges with double yellow lines to stop parking. It would then make more room on the road for both cars and bikes to safely pass.
  • I just think a lot of places round here are very variable depending on who is serving you. It is a shame they don't bother to train up staff. I've had good coffee a few times at Dream River Cafe - never a bad experience yet but I don't go there of…
  • I agree. We drove down one in south London the other day and it just looked like they had changed the red paint to blue paint. It still had parts missing where there wasn't space for the path next to the traffic.
  • It would be interesting to know who owns every building on SGR. Perhaps someone could find out and annotate a google maps for us?
  • Yep, there was a helicopter last night. Might have been more like 2am than 3am, but I too might just have been dreaming.
  • This [thread](http://www.stroudgreen.org/discussion/1841/im-in-love-with-tosscat/) has some pictures of tosscat to help you identify him as he walks past WLoM.
  • There were dozens of jars of diabetic strawberry jelly. What possessed them to think they were going to shift so many jars of it in the first place?
  • Thanks for the tip! I'll definitely use it to get down to Sussex to visit family. Great choice of destinations...
  • Don't know whether we had one. I only got up an hour ago. I find that mornings can be rather hazardous.

  • I'm totally up for a glee club!

  • Absolute landslide. I'm amazed - didn't think the Lib Dem council was that unpopular. Labour - 35 Lib Dem - 13
  • I agree with your predictions Andy. This might just turn out to be the perfect Labour result. They need some time out of power to replace with leader (too messy to do whilst Brown are prime minister) and stand back from policies to reflect on what…
  • Don't worry about me. I'll just wait in the car and listen to the radio while you guys go in and enjoy yourselves for a few hours.
  • @yagamuffin - yes, we have our general election ones and we live in tollington. They aren't really necessary to vote - perhaps they just got lost? I also saw Lynne on This Week and thought she did fine. It is pretty tough for candidates to speak …
  • Big wool... cool! Yes, I'm still following the thread. Got home from work a little late tonight, but I'll try to knit with you very soon...
  • It is a great idea for those of us with allergies, regular drug use and complex medical conditions. It means we might not die from inappropriate treatment if we end up in an A&E away from the hospital that usually gives us care. Those people w…
  • Me...! With a boring grey clapotis I'm knitting.
  • I think I can make it this Thursday at the Fullback. Misscara will know what I look like from ravelry so shout at me if I'm wandering around looking lost! Is there a plan of where to sit? I have a load of kidsilk haze I'd happily donate to someon…
  • I would knit every so often if it was round here. Thursday usually works for me... I am 'beckyisknitting' on ravelry - my space is a bit of a mess right now... need to delete all the projects that I'm clearly never going to finish.
  • I'm looking for a new hairdresser because mine is off having a baby. But I'm one of those blonde people who needs a little help staying blonde. So does anyone have any experience of getting highlights done round here? If not, I guess I'll try eit…

  • I've met tosscat in real life. Your description of him is pretty accurate, except he is so much younger than he comes across on this forum.
