And for anyone else, more boring twitter zzzzzZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz

So 45,000 ill-mannered tourists have had their two evenings of fun, and now we're left with a filthy, trampled, tyre-tracked mess for a park. What a shambles. Why not hold such events in venues designed for massive crowds? While any event in the …

As a several-times-a-week cyclist, I'm dismayed at how often pedestrians look surprised when I "let" them cross on a green man or slow down for them at a zebra crossing. I just hope in some small way it helps counter the popular perception that cyc…

A restoration should be exactly that - returning something to its original condition. If instead people want a new, politically correct, bland monument somehow designed to eliminate all risk of offence to anybody for any reason whatsoever, that's a…

Isn't it slightly unfair to assume that a false start must mean something dodgy is going on? Could it not simply be that the chappy, on seeing the range of eateries Stroud Green Road offers, thought "I'm having some of that" and misguidedly opened …

Looking up some obscure branded stuff announced on the Tw*tter page reveals all sorts of overpriced wares heading our way: http://www.bathandunwind.com/tokyo-milk/fine-soaps/tokyo-milk-soap-tour-eiffel.htm

Yes it's outside the Stroud Green jurisdiction, but the superb North Nineteen has WAY better food than the Dairy

As someone who typically only has time to visit the park at weekends, I've had enough of this din every Sunday afternoon, so have written to Haringey council to complain. The Finsbury Park Art Club facebook page lists their "principles" as: Respect…

It took an architect to design that load of shite? That's truly horrific

Maybe somewhere in France there's a fake English place called "Greggues", and an online discussion moaning that their sausage rolls aren't greasy enough to be authentic

On last Monday's broadband outage - I phoned them up as soon as my connection mysteriously failed, to be told they'd already written to tell me and that it would be off all day. Virgin Media have NEVER written to me in advance about any outages, …

Seeing as it is such a fantastic day today, I headed to the park for some fresh air, peace and quiet, like many others. Sadly this was spoiled by a few people's drumming 'music' (it must be a tiny minority of the number of people in the park toda…

Maybe it's finally quiet now that the rioting morons are busy at home trying to set up their big TVs sans-instructions-manual

Having no price list and being charged according to whether the establishment likes the look of the customer is hardly an incentive to try Mezbaan again. (I did once ages ago, and it was nothing special.) The Exotic up the road covers all my tak…

I believe in giving credit where it's due, so would just like to mention I tried the North Nineteen pub for the first time this evening, and enjoyed a couple of clearly well-kept ales. The barman (proprietor?) was friendly and genuine - so all in a…

I remember "Cheap and Cheerful" that was once somewhere towards the top of the road, which sold plastic buckets, lighters, cleaning products and so on. The chap in there (he had something of a Jimmy Saville presence about him, with his white bouf…

The owners smoking indoors a couple of weeks ago? The horse has bolted... [I'll get my coat]

I'm no expert, but this isn't the first chain coffee shop in the 'hood; Puccino's (small kiosk on the way into the National Rail bit of the station) is part of a large group and AMT (also in the station) is also a chain. In my opinion AMT has the…

At risk of the thread deviating even further, I recommend The Crown on Holloway Road for those seeking a proper old-skool unpretentious boozer that on my last visit offered (a) a dartboard, (b) change from a fiver for two pints (c) free sandwiches f…

That new design is a monstrosity. Those weird white arches (see DesignStatement.pdf) look as if something's taken a huge bite out of it like some kind of cartoon apple. Does this being some kind of 'conservation' area mean anything at all if rub…

I once tried the place soon after it first opened - and as I found my food (lamb shish, if my memory serves me correctly) insanely salty I never considered going back. That was my observation back then; certainly no contagious psychological facto…

Buried deep inside the Virgin Media website, where nobody can find it easily, is this form: https://help2.virginmedia.com/assets/customer_zone/complaintformCZ.html Unfortunately whenever I complete it or phone them up, they do next to nothing …

Not trying to dampen enthusiasm for the debate but does anyone even know how definite this is, beyond a rumour?

Crikey, that zero-star Jai Krishna rating may explain the weekend of serious D+V two housemates of mine suffered after eating there once. Can't this be turned into the Sainsbury's instead? (If it really has to go anywhere)
-
Should they rename it Chapter Eleven?
-
Those darkened windows hardly help pull in the crowds, but the Exotic is always good for a decent takeaway or quiet eat in. OK, decor etc nothing fancy but who cares when it comes to a good curry? It gets my vote

Pedantic, but shouldn't the site be billing it as Finsbury Park Parkrun? Finsbury is a different place entirely... Good idea though.
