Stroud Green

Spent

Really is Finsbury park with a posh name - discuss.

Its also really grotty and ridden with crime

krappyrubsnif

The words 'red', 'rag' and 'bull' come to mind.

Haroose

You should hear what Spent says about your Mum!

Arkady

Let's start a new discussion. Which of Stroud Green's bridges would be best for this troll? A

Papa

Stroud Green was here first by a long way, is pretty much the end of the argument.

This thread's not worth the pixels its written on. Does taunting SG.org members warrant epxulsion or do we take the high ground and try and convert the Philistine? Would this be a waste of breath (typing)?

Emma

You should hear what I say about Spent's Nan.

miss annie

Don't feed the troll.

@Emma - Spent's Nan told me what you said about her when I visited her in prison.

ADGS

Though it's pretty unusual that her mouth wasn't full.

My favourite bridge is the one on Hornsey Lane, when viewed from either side of Archway Rd. Not sure if its any good for trolls though.

miss annie

I like that bridge too, although it's not SG. I love the little overgrown staircases that are at the side of it too. They would be excellent habitats for trolls or any other mythical creature.

Arkady

When it snowed I slipped and fell a terrifying distance down one of those staircases. I broke my arse quite badly.

miss annie

Ouch, there's a long way to fall there!
Did you do the traditional English thing of getting up really quickly, brushing snow off your bum and pretending nothing had happened?

Arkady

Pretty much. Sadly the fall was witnessed by some guffawing yoofs, so I shuffled off as rapidly as possible while weeping silently.

Suicide bridge on Hornsey Lane? Yes, great view of London as you hurtle to your death and the inevitable disruption of the A1 southbound.

taff bach

What's this shit about Trolls being mythical?

ADGS

I always think of Suicide Bridge as Dr Johnson's line about being bored of London made concrete. However down I am, that view reminds me that I live in the greatest city on Earth. If you can look at it and still want to jump then yeah, things must be pretty much irretrievable.

sincers

I too love the vistas of London, particularly from said bridge and the top of Ali Pali. However, I had the good fortune to be in the very top of the Guerkin yesterday, which is pretty impressive. Yet I couldn't help compare it to the much more impressive views from the Rockerfella, Sydney Tower & Empire State building.

Arkady

Wait until we get to see the views from the Shard. How did you manage to get up the Gherkin sincers? ADGS -I know exactly what you mean. Having a good view over London from my room increases my quality of life considerably, I couldn't put a price tag on it.
