  • Sorry Tosscat Yawn
  • Maybe it's adding interest on the balance in credit. now that would be nice
  • @poxy - Oh I thought that was Sondel (independent bike shop) opposite Highbury and Islington tube... they must have just bought it - cheers for the tip.
  • Vespa ET4 & the Dylan are good choices as they're 4 strokes and are much more durable & reliable than 2 strokes (the 2 stroke scooters are usually thrashed around by 17 year olds). I'd suggest getting a Caberg Trip helmet, as they are decen…
  • I'm liking this program better than The Apprentice. Mainly because the briefs/tasks are like the challenges a real designer would face. Although i think the art direction of the whole show is a little contrived - they're trying too hard to be desig…
  • Yeah I saw that huge lemon as well. I assumed it was an ad for Yellow Pages (as their current outdoor ads have huge yellow objects around London). FP is used a lot by film crews, there's often a catering bus and trailers all set very early in the m…
  • I use a King of Shaves Azor, mainly because I got it for free, but stuck with it as the replacement blades are less than a quid each. It's an odd looking design, but works perfectly well for me. Also as I shave only once a week a 4 pack of blades …
  • I used to hear similar moans from biker friends when I used to commute around london on a motorcycle (and scooter in winter), they'd always blame the other road users for causing/almost causing accidents. If you're going to ride like a tw*t then yo…
  • @matt - I so know you're right. Whenever anyone mentions FREE to me I get all excited.
  • When it comes to haircuts - you get what you pay for - I've had £6-£10 haircuts (when I was skint) and always came out feeling like I was about to go into the military. I was really impressed with Paul's barbering skills - he took almost an hour to…
  • You sure it wasn't Kate off T'Apprentice?
  • Kid Creole changes his coconuts every couple of years for younger models. Not a great idea in my opinion as that just makes you look even older as the years pass. Although I did see him at Bestival a few years back - he must be well over 50 and he …
  • I swear I just saw Kid Creole outside Tesco.
  • Tried to liberate the old bike using the car jack yesterday morning - bloody lock broke the jack! @ Nick_M - most bike shops will tell you that you need a pedal spanner, which is basically a spanner with a longer handle so you have better leverage.…
  • In my opinion a 'better' neighbourhood day would be to: 1) Close a couple of the streets to traffic 2) Have stalls for local crafts 3) Have the police, local councillors and businesses there to hear what their community wants 4) Something for the k…
  • Free... as in 'doesn't charge you an odd amount to withdraw your own money' I assume. Has anyone else noticed the wierd amounts that the machines round here charge - The one outside Woody's in £1.84, and I've noticed another two around SG at £1.89 …
  • I've had lower back problems for ages - I've managed to control the pain and improve my posture by: a) Gettin treatment from Backs & Beyond in NW5 b) Sitting on a swiss ball at work - it forces you to adopt a good seated posture, the only down…
  • Can we create a car share type of community here? More like walking buddies, or is that just a bit wierd? What would you talk about for an hour or so?
  • We've deduced that the dog is called Bailey and that his owner is called Ian (or Iain). What we should be asking is - why has Ian (or Iain) not claimed him or put up posters himself? I hope Ian (or Iain) is OK.
  • Understandably it would be a logistical nightmare being able to drop cars off where you wanted to - I just had this vision of London being a car free city where you could pick up a vehicle close to where you wanted to and drop it off where you were …
  • As a Streetcar member myself I can say that they do provide a very good service, however here's the good and bad points: Pros: - Cheap for short journeys, around £12 for 2 hours (weekly shop, visiting friends etc.) - Mostly clean smart cars - Low c…
  • I thought that song was by Inner Circle.. not Pato Banton. I know this because every time we drive or walk through the inner circle of Regents Park I annoy my wife by humming the tune. Bit of a 'dad joke' that... sorry

  • I've used Sixti in Palmers Green. In the past I've hired a Smart car and a 6 month old Polo for £18 for the weekend (pick up Saturday morning, drop off on Monday). You can get the overground to Palmers Green station from Harringay, Hornsey or FP, …
  • If we ever encounter 'Mrs Williams' I'm going to try to get a photo of her so I can post it. Or can anyone who has seen her already create a photofit.
  • I too am surprised that the council have actually done something about it, there's also another cheeky pothole on the same side of the road near the big yellow car wash. Does anyone have a link to this magical site where I can report potholes and g…
  • emine... I suggest you look for a low maintenance dog - as we've found you can leave the right dog on their own for quite a while without them developing behavior problems we have an Akita, both my wife and I work full time - we chose the Akita as…
  • brilliant.. I'm going to report Perth Road - it's the only reason the wife and I bought a 4x4...honest
  • Windowlicker - Aphex Twin
  • I've measured it (in Nike+ equipped trainers) quite a few times and it's just slightly under 2km (1.92km).
  • She's an Akita...
