Didn't he record some music up at Dave Stewart's (I know it's not his anymore) studio on Crouch Hill? He's a bit of a local lad.

Iti s nuts. No big conert should happen until next summer 2022. Bonkers. Crazy. Trying to prove a point that we're all immune. But variants, it's still early days......

Islington is a great council and always was. They're socialist in the right way. Their libraries are amazing. The range of books, their access via computers to what they have was there from the early 90s. Very little PC posturing but PC in the r…

KRS, don't despair. We note your generosity. It's all given rise to a very interesting debate. But you could do a KLF style sacrifificial burning. Headline: 'Generous offer of Guardian from one of its Gate keepers goes up in smoke. Who should w…

I like the Adam Curtis offering 'Can't Get You Out of my Head' released on iplayer last week. Concering the Guardian, I still read it everyday online. I only found out lately that Bill Gates was a major funder. Not that I go for conpriacy theorie…

Totally agree with Brodiej about this weird view that all noise and traffic should be directed to main roads in the area. This was my bugbear when the Sugar Lounge debate raged. Some people like myself were placed on main street through social hou…

I was at its opening night about 2000. I really liked it. Haven't been in it for ages but it did seem to go downhill when they subdivided it into pub/gastropub around ten years or more ago.

Thanks Therattle. My dad died a few years ago and I get emotional sometimes as he was a lovely kind man. He was a coductor Ali not a driver. On the 73 from Tottenham first then Stokey. He then went on to work as a clerk at Stoke Newington post o…

The Rattle. My dad when he was a bus conductor in the 60s would relate tales to me in the 80s of queues for the Beatles there. To break this down. My dad when I was a teen in the 80s would relate tales of the 60s of the queues outside of the rain…

When I moved back to London in my late teens I saw The Rainbow building as some sort of mythical place where Bowie and lots of 70s talent played. My dad when he was a bus conductor in the 60s would relate tales to me in the 80s of queues for the Be…

Do people still burn fuel in fireplaces in London?

edgy means on tenter hooks
-
I've never been in but I remember someone who shared a house with me saying he did acid there and he got edgy. He was edgy not nice guy so it was no wonder. This was in the early 90s, long before Covid, gentrification. Archway Tavern was the wild…

https://shelford.org/walks/newriver.pdf Goes on more than an hour from Stroud Green but It's interesting in most parts.

I didn't know that this was a BPAS building until about 2012 after nearly two decades living in SG. The sad shower who want to prevent women's health deserve an exclusion zone. What a bunch of low life. Perhaps they should put their energy into c…

I was using suburban as an adjective. Chill KRS. I was explaining my use of it. I'm not always right. Have a lovely evening.
-
Lots of suburban people live in Stroud green, hence the gentrification. The suburbs produced great 70s music. There are good and bad things about suburbia. Ballard lived there and liked it but also critqued it.
-
No, it's a suburban thing.

OMG, Gardener Joe is so witty. Actually Miss Annie despite all the conflict I've had with her is good citizen. That is to be commended. No Chang hack, hehe.
-
Miss Annie, I do think (and I'm not being sarcastic) that is very commendable. I think living in a city, not the suburbs with all it' public transport, shared houses etc. is probably the most environmental place a person can live. Good on you!

It's a load of capitalist planning. I told you that was how it was heading five years ago but you made fun of me. These guys don't care about people but profit.
-
Arkady, the class prejudice wasn't just in my head. It existed and exists. I was told again and again that I was lucky to have subsidised housing. I had second class rights to protest about noise. Yes, I was going through a bad time in my life.…

I made a complaint on here about noise in 2010 and people just couldn't get it. They then went, move. When I said I lived in social housing, they went you should stop complaining. Basically a two-tier society. I'm happy as I live in a quiet plac…

Sad. What amazes me about this site is the self-obsession. I don't think most people care about people being shot but about how it might affect their experience of Stroud Green. Thatcher said there's no such thing as society. I learnt when I ment…

In childhood I remember thinking of police as rescuing cats from trees as one of their lovely attributes. Cats up Trees being rescued beats uncontrolled dogs biting friendly people. My 'aww' meter is high. Love cats. Dogs, are too needy.

Scruffy, humour, it was a joke. Despite my depression over the first part of this decade, I always maintained a sense of humour. I suppose I've always tried to be individual and jumpers over shirts always seemed a good boy conservatism. By the wa…

I suppose by linear I meant predictable. I've always liked dramatic description. Jumpers over shirts. A bit of a joke really.
-
Nice to see Stroud Green org hasn't turned into linear capitalist review site for restaurants and bars. Keep up the good work, Foxie. x

But Gloria, won't they be knocking off cabinets and pottery.
