  • Why is 'won't somebody think of the children' the default reason when authorities try to ram through badly considered decisions?  Aren't traffic lights, driving tests, and the Green Cross Code ample? 
  • Thank you @dorothy
  • @tomp Yes I agree it is a high bar but the way posts were going on this thread it certainly gave the impression it was the kind of place worth travelling to. Certainly to me. Do teens want 'slow food'? That to me is not that far removed from 'craft…
  • Afraid I'll have to be a minor dissenting voice. Guessing I'm not the target market, and they've just opened. But... Decor is terrible. Just no clue what is going on. Not an enjoyable place to spend time. Music - does anyone want to listen to 'Th…
  • Hola, has anyone tried a specific Mac repair place/have a similar recommendation? Old G5 iMac in need of attention. Ta
  • Oh man - I would not use Snow White for adjustments.  There's another thread on here where quite a few folk have come away thinking WTF have they done... I was twice bitten, and won't use them for adjustments again. Shorten jacket sleeves - "no pro…
  • BBQ place like Pitt Cue/Duke's Brew and Que/Fette Sau would make money hand over fist.
  • Packaging, presentation and delivery were all great - about 25mins.  Website easy to use, and price was alright. Maybe I chose unwisely, but I can't put my finger on it, I just didn't really enjoy it tbh.  The sticky ribs were pretty good, but the …
  • It wasn't the greatest plan to put a men's urinal at the top of a hill right enough - and people pissing against the fence rather than wait 2 mins to get to a urinal is sheer idiocy.  And queues for the ladies were crazy.   Arsenal fans used to piss…
  • Am also a bit shocked with the extent of the fencing.  Thought it was a bit much, but after seeing the Shane Meadows documentary on the band, there's footage of people breaking down the gates at Heaton Park and overrunning security.  And they storme…
  • For anyone interested in actual facts, There are no 'Cyclists Dismount' signs on any of the 12 tunnels/bridges from Broadway market down to Limehouse Basin.  Only signs saying 'Pedestrians have priority - considerate cyclists permitted' on at (I t…

  • Take early train from Haringey on a Saturday or Sunday (if they ever run them again!) out to Hertford North - 25 mins.  Spend a good few hours cycling back along the canal tow-path, via nature reserves, Broxbourne's St Augustine's Church, Waltham Ab…

  • Was in last night [Stapleton] for a couple of beers and the service was spot on, so just wanted to say that I guess they must be aware they've had some issues.  Plenty of staff on, and they were all attentive.   
  • I've seen them driving while on their telephones.  A danger to the public.
  • Am looking at a 4-fold increase in journey time from 11 minutes to 44 minutes for me to walk from house to sorting office, from an N4 postcode.    Seems like the courier companies that offer re-deliveries at a time convenient to me (e.g. DX for co…
  • Where's the third one miss annie? Is it nearer the ticket window? ta
  • About time, that Western Entrance is an abomination - one Oyster scanner (or two if you can avoid abuse from dolts wanting to reach across the scanner behind the door to get a copy of the Metro) for all the tube users entering off Wells Terrace.  Wo…
  • Thanks theMimsy, was it just enquiries.haringey@veolia.co.uk you contacted?  The details I found on the planning portal were out of date so am no closer to finding the owner.
  • Thanks for the ideas.  I tracked down (I think) the landlord or their accountants via the planning portal, so have called them directly to give them time, otherwise I'll just go to the council.  Think there may be vermin attracted to the garden by t…
  • Article here uses similar quotes (but is covered in typos)http://www.hackneygazette.co.uk/news/crime-court/stone_roses_announce_finsbury_park_dates_1_1675091 But does at least gets the view of someone happy about the gigs. I have clearly heard the P…
  • Don't think the Roses were ever 'mad for it', but yeah they do attract tadgers now Oasis are defunct.  Pray they don't have Beady Eye supporting them again...
  • Late to this discussion so maybe too late for you, but depending where you are I have an absolute metric tonne of visitor permits for Finsbury Park B cpz that I'll never be able to use.  If you're in that area I can put some thru your door to give y…
  • Hi Andy if you are able to retweet that would be amazing thanks.  V long shot I know.. Thanks Miss Annie.
  • Hi Miss Annie no I didn't tweet, If you are able to tweet it it would be much appreciated! Thank you very much.
  • For the lazy...   Stephen Taylor Architects focuses on split-level living Stephen Taylor Architects has designed two modern houses for Solidspace Developments, which draw inspiration from their Victorian neighbours externally while challenging th…
  • Haven't read Darling's book, though he for me was the only one of them who appeared to grasp reality.  And got bollocked for it. Not sure how Brown can be congratulated for 'avoiding a crash' when he had been the driving the bus since 1997.  Maybe a…
  • Venezia have now taken to SMS spam on unsuspecting locals.  Never used them, never ordered from them, never given them my mobile number, but they're happy to text me their special offers.  Venezia, if you're on the board, can you let me know where…
  • But doesn't relaxing the land use regulations lower the value of the land? Isn't that good for the population? Builders are sitting on land banks, keeping the price of land high (because they bought it at peak, and want to keep it there until they c…
  • The point was you have your opinion, and I'll have mine which from experience of cycling sees the vast majority of them running junctions whenever they like, failing to indiciate etc.  Thanks for your input, it's more worthy now you have provided nu…
