iPlayer has a documentary/introduction on Julian and Sandy at present, though sadly it omits my favourite, the Bona Law sketch.

Pseudo-muggee was up early yesterday, accosting me just after eight and clearly not recognising me from his last attempt. I shook my head and moved on.
-
I am. Still miss the mushroom burgers at the Wilmington as was in Clerkenwell - many places do it, but they were the best. Then they went more gastro, ditched the venue space, and the food got worse. Sad times.

Alas, as per numerous exposes including Jacques Peretti's The Men who made us Thin, exercise isn't all that good at helping one lose weight - although it's far more healthy to be tubby and active than skinny and inactive.
-
Oh, his jokes are dire but he does have a certain strange charm. I've also seen the fake academic, and yes, he is very convincing. In their defence, at least neither of them is the sodding Tesco busker, who should either learn some more chords, some…

I differ from CAMRA in many ways, not least that I'm fine with ciders - or indeed perries - containing other fruits &c. But when it comes to not using the word 'cider' unless the lead fruit is apple, I absolutely agree.You know the old joke abou…

Got a leaflet through the door today about a 'consultation', but not sure I can be bothered given what a sham their previous such exercises have been.
-
The furniture is horrid, though I dislike the chairs less than those board tables which were already starting to splinter on the opening night. The general ambience of an underfunded sixth-form common room wasn't helped by the OHP menu, but what was…

So how will that work if they're not to close the station altogether?
-
I have no idea what that means, so I'm just picturing this guy behind the bar.
-
I've bought new books full price from physical shops within the past year. But I still don't need a bookshop downstairs as much as I do a decent brunch at a very reasonable price.(Not least because Big Green Bookshop is hardly far)
-
Unjust it may be, but I think we can be fairly certain it is a boon rather than a drain as regards council cashflow.
-
Ooooh. Perhaps I was just unlucky, but the barman told me they didn't yet have the pipes for it, or something technical to that effect.
-
As a poncy incomer, I cannot think of a single establishment existing in the real world which I'd be happy to have replace either of the local Spoons. Brunch of champions, plus cheap drinks; yes, some of the regulars are irksome, but so's 90% of the…

Hopefully there will be a Southampton Arms-style cider offering too, as against the total lack of any during the brief taster period...
-
Thanks - though that's still largely inference, and you'd think an explanatory sign might have been worthwhile.
-
The 253/254 being another one that used to all be one route - we seem to have a lot of them.
-
I assumed it would be a depressing gym, don't these new student blocks generally have one of those on the ground floor?
-
I do.
-
Spoons is a fine employer, and does breakfasts fit for champions.
-
Well, quite. At present, London property is "the world's reserve currency" - buy-to-let and buy-to-leave investors have deeper pockets than buy-to-bloody-inhabit folk, and unlike even ultra-capitalist Singapore, the UK has no meaningful measures in …
-
I've seen it - right next to the shop whose window insists 'You can never be too tanned'. Hurrah for them, simply for keeping the tacky old Holloway Road alive.
-
Honestly, I'd rather have neither. If every development currently underway in London ground to a halt, it would be much preferable to the slew of monstrosities we're going to get, let alone the further horrors their success will breed. Yes, a lot of…

We got Clive Morrison's leaflet (also barely coherent) through the door, despite living over the border in Islington North. Really bolsters confidence in the efficiency of his party.
-
I would hardly call no work the worst case scenario. I didn't want their poxy great block in the first place, even before the length of the proposed station fuckery became apparent.
-
If they just admitted they were wrong and realised the need for a change, I'm sure we'll all forgive them. Next up: the Wells Terrace cashpoints, where signs still claim they will soon be replaced. Was that always a lie, or did it simply become one?
-
How utterly out-of-character that would be for the area. Still, intrusive awfulness is where monotheism tends to excel.
-
I don't know whether or not I agree with that Hackney article, because amid all the clutter I can only read the opening paragraph. What hideous site design. Much like the FP developments, amirite?
-
So these events will increase congestion, meaning that comparatively, on the first day of the closure we will all think it's less congested! Ingenious. Fiendish, but ingenious.

Results already! Much appreciated.
