I'll not post this on the Pizza wars page, but just say that I ate at Pizza East in the Tea Building at the top of Bethnal Green Road last night and thought they pizzas were really quite good. The base was very thin and crispy and they had some ver…

It is Scottish for feeling sick. Godzilla probably had a sad wee look all over their coupon after the breakfast. A deep fried Mars bar would have sent him/her over the edge.

I live on Gloucester Drive and have done for over 2 years and really like it. I've not felt intimidated at any point and feel that is as safe as SGR or Highbury. I agree that it does lack decent pubs and restaurants, but it's a 10 min walk to SGR an…

There is a garden center called North One that is near Stoke Newington. There is also a great pub called the Scolt Head right by it to make the journey very worthwhile. Details on the garden center are here -

I hope that if it's a success over the seven months that someone will take it on full time and make a go of that place. GPN, we can all be oldies together - I'll bring the cards and perhaps we can have a game of bridge in the corner whilst moaning …

The Silver Bullet (ex Gas Light) is days away from being finished and it looks heaps better than the dump that was there before.

Beginners are not frowned upon, just trampled over, spat on and then laughed at in slow motion. In all seriousness, it's a laugh and it does help push you a bit more being surrounded by other people. There are all sorts, once I did it and there wa…

I've seen 2 films in the last 2 weeks that are very worth of a film club discussion. Moon and Dogtooth - both very different films but incredibly interesting and would be sure to inspire some very good conversation.

Just what the area needed, I've often thought there aren't enough fried chicken, pound, mobile or veg shops around.

I don't think I can make it on Wed but am very interested - keep us up to date.

Krappy, I recently did my induction at the Castle climbing wall and it's great for a bit of exercise on a miserable day and not that expensive either.

Lis, love the idea of a film club - I used to go to one at the AKA bar before The End closed down. It may be difficult to get somewhere to show it, but there are enough pubs with big screens in the area so they may be interested in showing them on a…

I had a takeout from Venezia last night and feel obliged to say that it was very good. Not oily, lovely tomato sauce and good toppings. The restaurant doesn't look much, but will be back for sure.

@Simon, try clicking your heels together and saying there's no place like home?

I just made it back from Madrid! Allegedly stranded yesterday evening but me and 2 colleagues legged it to the train station and jumped on the overnight to Paris. Jamon Serrano sandwiches, a tortilla and 3 bottles of Rioja got us to sleep and we wok…

Honesty is the best policy. Unless you are in real trouble, and then it's jackanory time.

I've met Polly Vernon and she's very nice as are most of The Observers Editorial team and no I don't work there, but know the Fashion Editor and been to a few of her birthday shindigs. I have loads of respect for all mothers but I hope to marry a…

The place opposite Nandos once dry cleaned 3 suits at the same time and I packed one for a business trip only for them to have paired the wrong jacket and trousers together. I made it into a funny story to tell clients at the start of meetings, but …

I think they do a load of stuff via mail order too, I asked the guy in the one on Blackstock Road what his main business was and he told me that he sells loads of herbal viagra online. He was packaging up a parcel to the States with 200 tablets and …

Last time out they had a Cuban bar plastered in posters asking for innocent Cubans to be released from US (bash, bash) and other international jails. Not all, but some had tried to bomb places to highlight the plight of Cuba so not that innocent at…

Never tried it...but I will now as love bitter things, though from everyone's reaction here I doubt I'll finish it. Glad you sent the pic as I'd always thought those things were non EU regulation cucumbers.

Hi Jez, keep us up to date and how you get on as it sounds a very interesting project. Best of luck. I went to see a production called Money on Sat night which is put on by the Shunt production company and really recommend it. They do late shows o…

I agree that it is a show of force, because for so long the police turned a blind eye and had to do something. There are very few victimless crimes, all those people selling SIM cards and dodgy phones bought them from people who nicked them at best …

I'm an immigrant and we moved here because my dad fell in love with a English lady who was very happy living in Spain until her parents fell ill and we all moved here to be close to them and help look after them, they lived on a few more years by wh…

Although not exactly Stroud Green,

My mate went yesterday to the Slug and Lettuce and said it was pretty good and a bit of fun. The annoying thing though is that generally when watching footie in the pub, you don't just look at the screen all the time and therefore the glasses are a …

I read this on Saturday and thought it may be on interest. Loads of people made comments so looks like this subject is very close to people and hopefully the NHS will listen. Then again, what am I thinking....they wont.

Hi RNM, I've been to Juniper and I loved it, very nice indeed. I had the pistachio encrusted rack of lamb and the ham hock terrine to start - really was very good! I hear what you are saying about this bringing a nice bit of variety to the ar…
