It took me three years to get the council to put up a poo bin in Woodstock Rd. We have a lot of dog walkers coming from the Islington side heading towards the park and their dogs often can't wait plus they still have to be walked when the nights hav…

The Fullback garden is under threat from the council who say they didn't have the right planning permission and want them to pull it down. As for light, I'm sure they can accomodate us. I've done the quiz in there a couple of times and they've had t…

I could never get on with knitting as I'm not very patient and found it took too long before I could see anything tangible. So my Nan taught me to crochet, just a simple stitch and the result was my first blanket made from her leftover oddments of w…

Have you found one yet? I have a very good young lady who's working independantly at the moment. She's not a money grabber like the one I had before her was. ie. Makes the lessons longer than they need to be. By that I mean that my previous instruct…

What's the difference between a table and a solid wood bar? In the FF apparantly, if you're sitting at the bar and there's people sitting at the table behind you, it's you that should move forward when somebody wants to pass between the two. And on …

Yummy, it was nice wasn't it. And then the impromptu band with some live music..........

Too high and too ugly. Why do all these developers want to dominate an area? They may meet the legal requirements regarding light and neighbours but walking down SGR it's nice to be able to look at a panorama of the sky towards the park and opposite…

So where is poor Scarborough Rd then? In no mans land?

The FF quiz is subsidized so even if there's a low turnout the cash prizes are worth winning. As has been mentioned some of them are themed but not always. When I've done the occassional questioning I don't run a theme through mine, it's pure genera…

I love spotting the foxes around here. Last night I went out the pub, (Faltering Fullback) to make a phone call and there was one, very carefree, crossing the road at about 7pm. I often see them around there, once having a stand off with a cat, neit…

You should worry. My house backs onto Finsbury Park and every weekend they hold a drumming class down the end backing onto the bowling alley. It's like being in a jungle with these tomtoms going allday. I went outside talking to my sister on the pho…

Wardens are indeed very active here in FP. Last Saturday (Arsenal at home match) they were seen to be ticketing residents cars. The reason for one ticket was that the windscreen wiper covered the date on the permit. How petty. Presumably they needed…

It was certainly interesting to see the way that dereliction and nature took over the site through the years.

As a local CVW I do occassionally get involved in the issues of bin collection and street sweeping etc. Bins should not be put out on the pavement/road. (But tell that to the binmen) They're supposed to be put where it's easy for them to be collecte…

The water hole by the Big Yellow is not as you would think, a leak underneath, it is in fact quite a way away from where it surfaces. But where? That's the problem. It all started a few years ago with gas repairs. The B.Y. was the first hole that wa…

Yes, definately the air ambulance. I once saw it land at the Stroud Green Rd junction with Tollington Pk. But did anyone see the two chinook helicopters hovering over the park on saturday evening? After flying back and forth they were joined by two…
