New Members (very exciting!)

dion

Do you have any wigs?

Ed B

No wigs on me sorry. They do have a special on though: 3 for £10 - i think the sign's been there since i moved in!

dominic

Actually, they sell wig's. Surprised Colette hasn't been down with her Tippex.

Colette

Stop picking on me. I've been humiliated. And I'm sulking, as only the French know how.

Liz

Colette, they're just jealous. Ignore them.

andy

Hello to Philip. Do introduce yourself. Krazykappa never said hello though.

krazykappa

I apologize for not introducing myself earilier. Hello Hello!
Greetings from good old Salt Lake City, UT...okay, not really that good, which is why I am moving to your little corner of the world. I am a writer, and though I was born in the US, most of my family is from the British Isles. I am looking to finish my book and maybe start on another one, while living in London. I am thrilled, and look forward to getting to know more about Stroud Green and the lovely people it inhabits.
Cheers!

dominic

Go Jazz! (But not really.)

krazykappa

The home I grew up in had a lovely view of Karl Malone's waterslide in his back yard...just another indication of how grossly American athletes are overpaid. Don't get me on my soapbox about that one :)

dominic

Stockton to Malone.... boringest combination in history. And you'll find the local sports stars here are also absurdly paid. But they are <a href="http://www.whoateallthepies.tv/2007/09/the_sex_video_x.html">model citizens</a>.

emily

Hello, my name's Emily and I'm new here. I actually live in N19 - just near the ugly tower block on Crouch Hill. Am I still allowed to stay?

dion

Hmm, they are pretty strict about this sort of thing. Maybe they will put it to the vote.

andy

What are you talking about? There's no strictness here. Emily, you're more than welcome.

tosscat

Not strict?! Can no-one remember poor old Lizzyj?

andy

ah yes. well, if there's a lesson there, it's don't cross us. we're like the krays - there's no trouble round our way and we're good to our mothers.

tosscat

and is one of you gay?

andy

are you fishing?

tosscat

no thanks, I've seen the pictures.

Liz

Miaow!

David

Tosscat clearly fancies Colin and Justin. Welcome to our playground, Emily.

tosscat

Clearly minty.

emily

I consider myself warned - i won't be crossing anyone. Although, i'm not exactly sure what exactly that'd involve, i'll try and avoid it anyway.

hooofck

Hello everyone, I'm Philip and I live in Cornwall Road and I LOVE IT - like King Kev.
Just so I know what I'm up against here, does everyone realise that Finsbury Park backwards is Krapy Rub Snif ?

Liz

It was one of the main reasons I wanted to move here... That and the wigs.

tosscat

Why do people called Philip choose such outlandish monikers when Pip and Phil would be adequate.

poxy

Hark at that. I think I hear a lesser-spotted kettle calling.

I think you'll find 'Phil' is already taken.

tosscat

As the turtle said to the armadillo - 'hey, you've got a hard shell.'

hooofck

Phil Collins. Phill Jupitus. Prince Philip. Pip from Great Expectations. Pippo Inzaghi....
Reasons enough I feel.

matt

i have a really hard time coming up with anything imaginative and that I won't hate the next day when i have to think of a pseudonym other than "matt"

hooofck

i suspect tosscat lives with that regret every day
