it could be an edgy advert for a bland hollywood romcom. 'Grocery Girl' starring Jenny Aniston. You go there at seven and somebody gives you a number that you call and you get a voice giving you a website address etc. The lack of a description means…
Has anybody else noticed just how horrific things have got at Kings Cross recently? I change between the Victoria and northern lines there in the mornings and evenings, and in the last few months it seems to have gone from plain terrible to unreason…
yes, I see what you mean, and I don't think it's 'correct' to feel guilty and ashamed. Out of the things you suggest, apart from ironing shirts, that stuff requires the kind of skill, equipment and supporting infrastructure that most people don't ha…
I quite enjoy tidying up on a saturday morning. Get up at a decent hour, stick the radio on, then potter around putting things in their place, doing the dishes, and giving the sufaces a wipe. By 11am I'm usually having a celebratory coffee in my gle…
my mum had her bag nicked in The Dairy though. A few days later, a park keeper at Alexandra Palace called her, said he'd found her bag. I had to go and collect it - I didn't mind, I always enjoy a stroll to the palace. Have I already told this stor…
the stiltwalker was wearing long trousers, in a bid to make it appear as if he actually had really long legs. He was given away by the tiny shoes that he'd attached to the bottom of the stilts. There was no way a man of around fifteen feet in height…
I was just looking at the programme for the event and I noticed that it uses 'Harringay' rather than Haringey. Naturally worried that I'd committed a terrible spelling error, I started to edit my post above, to try and rewrite history before anybody…
I went to the food festival. There was a stiltwalker there. I couldn't stop thinking about what it would be like to kick the stilts out from under him. He seemed so smug, looking down on us all.
The best bit of the event was a feedback wall wher…
My contribution to the aforementioned conversation was mostly staring at the drinks menu and half heartedly agreeing with everything that was being said. I suggested that maybe she should go on a course or something, meet people in a less pressured …
I went in there a while ago. On the wall was a large painted picture of monkeys having various kinds of sex in the jungle. It was called 'the garden of earthly delights' I think. I drank a beer, chatted with a lifelong friend about how we're both g…
hello SG'ers. I'm afraid that I have to break ranks on this issue, and wholeheartedly endorse the pizzas from Venezia. I haven't found them to be overly oily or lacking in flavour, and I've been eating at the other two places for a few years. While …
I'm cheered that Bakery Outlet is getting so much love. Perhaps as part of the new merchandising deal, some "Stroudgreen.org: Recommended Retailer" stickers should be produced for the lucky few establishments that win universal praise. Then sell the…
I've had a few generous slices of the the seeded wholemeal effort, and I can confirm that it's an excellent loaf. Fin - maybe a trip to wonderful Hornsey Road is in your future?
On an unrelated Hornsey Road note, I finally tried a curry from the…
