  • I've been to A&E there twice in the last year and both times was in and out within 2/3 hours and was well looked after. Would be a huge loss if it were to shut down.
  • I know very little Italian but here goes... Medi, cazzo stai facendo? state facendo un minchio di voi! Give it a rest on this subject Medi.... Interesting stuff above about languages, I speak Spanish and Catalan that come from Latin, but…
  • Hi Kate - I was at the Whitechapel gallery last night for the opening and a Q&A with the curators and some of the photographers. I'd encourage people to go and have a look as most of the work has never been seen outside of India or Bangladesh an…
  • I've often sat around watching the dog obedience lessons and it's comedy gold. The impression I got last time was that they hadn't done the lesson yet that teaches the dogs to stop trying to hump each other.
  • I'm in the pro-Woody's camp, not because I think Woody's is great, I just don't want another Sainsburys there. There is a decent sized Tesco at the end of the road and a huge Sainsburys a 5 minute drive away. Do we really need another "lite" superma…
  • I don't remember the Falklands War from that time, was watching Sesame Street or something. Being able to put make up on whilst on a moving vehicle and surrounded by people look like an art to me and probably requires a lot of skill so I'll not ha…
  • You got it Ali.....that's the one!
  • Apparently it's going to have an aquarium in it over 5 floors with a load of restaurants too - sounds ACE! Nice shot G-Unit, however, with a name like yours and the fact you have an i-phone - I can't imagine you in a flat cap a la Dibnah (unless…
  • It's called Heron Tower at the bottom of Bishopsgate near London Wall. I think my firm is moving there in Jan 2011 when it's completed - I'll be a bit sad unless we have a very high floor and a great view as I'm sat overlooking Tower Bridge right…
  • Good luck Val - kindness and understanding are two words I would never ever use to describe dealings with the parking office of any of the local councils! Let us know if there is a Christmas miracle though! http://www.ticketbusters.co.uk/welcome…
  • He's from Fortis Green, hence on of the Kinks albums Muswell Hillbillies. I'm pretty sure he lives somewhere in nearby - he also just released an album with the Crouch End Festival Choir. How much more Norf London can you get...?
  • look for fresh prints?
  • The Garufa steak is fantastic....have it with the morcilla (black pudding) and provencale chips - absolutely great. I've had the breakfast and it's very good - alternatively hold on a bit and on Sundays they do steak, salad and chips for about £…
  • I've had a few late drinks over at The Landseer lately - they never shut at 12...just draw the curtains.
  • "Welcome to Croydon - home of Nestle" So says the sign at the train station. What kind of claim to fame is that? Nestle's social irresponsibility is so well documented that I'm staggered that they approved the sign. It made me want to leave, …
  • I love it when the penny drops about these kind of things - it took for Roy Chubby Brown to be introduced as the Mayor for me to work out that Royston Vasey was his real name and made it all the more funny thereafter!

  • While I agree that the " I heart X" isn't a new idea, most of the areas that have taken inspiration from the original NY logo have gone with the actual name as opposed to the postal code such as "I heart Hackney/Brixton". I've seen "I heart N1" …
  • Often having to go to Canary Wharf first thing in the morning I find the least busy and quickest way from FP is overground to Moorgate, Northern to London Bridge and then the Jubilee Line.
  • My point wasn't really about the books themselves, though for the record I enjoyed Shantaram and The Da Vinci Code as entertaining stories. It is more about how films tend to leave out key details and parts of a plot that bring the story together. …
  • I dread to think what Johnny Depp and his pals have planned when they get round to filming Shantaram. Still, nothing beats the horror show that was Ron Howards stab at The Da Vinci Code - unfathomable that they gave him a second go.
  • Shunt is closing due to the redevelopment of London Bridge Rail Station, same thing that has caused all the problems over at Borough Market. I guess the knock on effect for us is that in 2015 we will be able to go from Finsbury Park to London Bridge…
  • I think...unless we are going to experience the true lunar rainbow that it's a reference to an event they have at John Jones. I'm at Shunt on Friday night - it's closing down soon so make the most of this place.
  • I lived in Pemberton Road for 2 years and have a couple of friends in the area. It's perfectly fine, lots of families, students and professionals living nearby. It does get a bit grotty once you get past Hewitt Rd and the closer you get to Wood Gree…
  • I guess it's down to what we find interesting. I contribute to paying for a gardener to keep a communal garden, but often go out there and you know...garden a bit. I don't live like a pig and keep things clean (though the 1st thing I bought for my…
  • It's his best story don't you know....
  • The whole "do it while I'm here!" thing does sound a bit stressful. No harm in taking it back in and telling them it's not acceptable and as a valued customer they should do it again. Based off their response; go mental or say thanks and that you h…
  • Hi NoOne, I have a fantastic cleaner whom I'm happy to see if she can fit you in. She charges £10 per hour and comes to mine and another person in the FP area on Wed. As I live alone, she only comes round every 2 weeks and she is fine with that an…
  • You are doing the right thing going for a 125cc as gives you the extra power when pulling away at lights and allows you to hold the middle of the road withour annoying the other traffic as you can keep a decent pace. I bought my scooter from the…
  • Great to meet everyone, thanks Ginger Monkey for organising. It turns out everyone is just as fun in real life. Even face to face the Porchetta v Pappagone argument didn't get settled....if there is a next time, I suggest a blind tasting to put t…
