  • Very tasty thanks. It was a little pricey but worth it I would say. From memory (and I'm really not sure about this) an eggs royal was around £6 and the full english was maybe £7-8. Only downside was that the coffee machine had broken. We got te…
  • Noble now appears to be opening at 10am on the weekend. Perhaps they read Fin's comment above. I am about to slip into a coma having managed to finish their full breakfast.
  • @Mirandola I could be wrong about this but I felt that once the Front Room moved in and was successful that a lot of other shops followed – e.g. Dhonia, Zasman Vet, The beauty parlour. To me that row of shops feels a lot nicer than it was before. …
  • I also went last night (booked a table by shouting through the door). Food was very nice. Portions slightly on the small side but meant that we had room for desert. Owner seemed very friendly. When I left about 8.30 he was saying he'd had 15 cover…
  • Thanks miss annie I'll give them a try. Exemplary linking skills btw.

  • I thought I might revive this thread to see if anyone could recommend me a carpenter? Our french windows expand and get stuck every winter and I was hoping to get someone to have a look at them.
  • Sounds amazing - any contact details / website?
  • Sorry just realised I never replied on this thread. We've found someone now (indirectly through stroudgreen.org) who did a great job. Thanks for all the recommendations.
  • Hi All Sorry for reviving this thread. Still undecided who to entrust my flat to! I was wondering if anyone had any experience of Michael Morris? To be honest they seem to be more focused south of the park but the people I've met have been fairly im…
  • Prior to my last band falling apart we used to use the Islington Arts Factory sometimes. The drum kits were a bit ropey but on the plus side each room had a piano (really useful for the three chord punk we were playing).
  • Christ. Thanks for the warning Dorothy. As you say the staff at D&D are really nice. In my experience the same cannot be said for Ludlow Thompson - so thanks for the confirmation poxy. I guess the problem with an estate agent or insurance comp…
  • Interesting analysis from the Institute for Fiscal Studies:
  • Sorry Donna - realised I hadn't replied to your first question as soon as I posted my last comment. It's a 2 double bed upper ground floor flat with a garden. However we're not moving until November so might be too late for your friends anyway?
  • Thanks Donna - in many ways I am also not keen on a letting agent. However we're going to be moving to Germany so not sure if we'll really be able to manage it ourself from abroad - sure it would be fine most of the time but worried how disruptive i…
  • Harry got a good write up in this old thread:
  • Thanks all - will give them all a call and see if any can squeeze me into their schedule!
  • Can I revive this thread for this year? I have no clue what to get my dad.
  • Last time I walked past there was a string quartet playing with (I think) the guy who runs it on the piano.
  • £1,495 plus VAT!!! Looks like I'm going to be skinless for the foreseeable future

  • @Jamber After a mere 6 months I did try walking down the canal. I went in the Duncan Terrace entrance but after about 50 metres you have to come back out onto Vincent Terrace. It was quite nice but probably not worth it. At that point though ther…

  • I've only been to the Old Dairy one once - it was fun although the round on imperial measure conversions dragged a bit. The Faltering Fullback is meant to have a decent one on a Monday night.
  • No idea about internet dating myself but quite a few of my friends use it (not particularly successfully). This article describes the algorithms some dating agencies (US ones I think) use:
  • I'm also not adverse to Venezia. Wouldn't eat in but their take-way is fine. It has the massive advantage of staying open later than the other pizza places (I'm thinking til midnight but could be wrong?) What would massively boost them for me is if…

  • Brilliant - thanks poxy - will try next weekend
  • Am I too late to request a couple of bags?

  • Don't know about the tubes but the trains into moorgate / kings cross seem to be running fine

  • A shop has just opened on Hornsey Road (on the junction with Tollington Park) called something like "bakery outlet" . It was closed when I went by on Sunday but from what I could see it had a sitting area and an espresso machine - so it might be mor…
