  • To be honest, her politics would make that a terrifying prospect. I'm hoping that Obama/Biden can now look like the "safe pair of hands" compared to the slight carnage that the Republican's seem to have brought upon themselves. As with most electi…
  • Erm, this is the latest...
  • Unsurprisingly I've heard these too, although you seem to have missed their session between 1.30 and 3 A.M. on Sunday night/Monday morning which was particularly annoying. Maybe they are trainee pizza delivery boys getting some practice in while th…
  • Don't know if anyone can help with this question, but in the 80s I seem to remember Sebastian Coe breaking records whilst wearing a vest with "HARINGEY" emblazoned on the front. I'm scratching my head to work out if this meant that Seb warmed up fo…

  • Please don't take offence Lucy, I just can't stand that song, esp crossed with lions/hippies. Disliking Whitney Houston does not equal cynicism. Anyway, if you really want a good weep, there's only one place to go - the end of "The Railway Childre…
  • Definitely not him, probably Mr. Hungry... If only he'd put up a fight like this guy:
  • "Hello Mr. Chocolate!" Double spew. Excellent film if you haven't seen it - especially Werner Herzog's grimly Germanic narration (what else would you expect!).
  • @ KJ - I second your, erm, spew. More on what generally happens to people who mess with animals after the break... (hint: they get eaten).
  • @ Ian - Really? Better than the Greek tragedy of series 2 and the drama of the **** and ******* confrontation in series 3? (I'm doing my best not to spoil things). Sadly, I also have to say that of the many Euros doing US accents in the series, I …
  • I'm just representing my people. Apologies, I have been watching The Wire too and got a bit carried away (just finished series 3). However, I am not responsible for any pool or pub shootings. As an interesting follow up question, does anyone know…
  • There is no Iraq/Pakistan border. "One nil... to the Upper East, One nil to the Upper East" etc. He also referred to Czechoslovakia in the present tense, which probably doesn't go down that well in Prague or Bratislava. Mind you, even though I…
  • That's alright, we're too busy playing croquet and drinking Pimms to notice. Official Estate Agent Lingo for the alleged "East Upper" = Crouch End Heights...
  • There were only two copies left when I picked mine up on Ferme Park Road. At the risk of sounding like a big girls' blouse, I thought it was an extremely heartwarming piece and timely given the agenda of other newspapers who would apparently like e…
  • X-It man is in it (Puts on tin hat and waits for scream from flat across the road)
  • The Book - "By Finsbury Park Station I Sat Down And Wept (because there were no W3s) The Film - "Pak to the Future" The Musical - "The Sound Of Petek"
  • Shaun, you are correct. I don't think I'd fill up at the garage right now....
  • Wandered down to have a look. There is indeed a massive hole in the road. Police are looking into it. Boom, tish!
  • Holland vs Russia and Spain vs Italy to come. My favourite tournament since Italia 90.
  • Blimey! How on earth can they carry on scoring those last minute goals? Long may it last.
  • I would hope so - but your use of the phrase "really fast" kind of gave away that it wasn't me.

  • Have to be a bit careful as I work in the industry, but if I take my own company hat off, it has to be said that the O2 home package is currently very popular with almost everyone that has taken it up - you also get a discount if you have an O2 mobi…

  • Hmmm... the signpost thing actually resembles a scaled down version of the "2001" obelisk when you are heading towards Crouch Hill from FP. Maybe it is here to take us to the next dimension? Either that or the Parkland Walk...
  • The words "the musical growth rate of this band cannot even be charted" is very applicable to the miserable bland-fest that is Coldplay. Most interesting thing is the way in which the album has been talked up as having been influenced by the likes …

  • Yes, slightly freaked out by that - almost as if they were burying someone under the mini-roundabout (!) Glyn - reporting from across the road (waves).

  • Wow! Ossian Guest House has epic music on its website. I'm voting for them now.
  • Can only add that SG is the safest place I have lived in London. Was in Golders Green for three years and had no end of hassle there amazingly, including getting severely beaten by a gang of young urchins, resulting in surgery on one of my ears. …
  • Also a B&B up here on Mount View (although I've never worked out where) - can't do the linky thing but try googling "Mount View Guest House" and it comes up. As for Seven Sisters, was playing football with some friends in Finsbury Park when I…
  • Paolo Hewitt a.k.a the Cappuccino Kid, walking down Crouch End Hill. Looking typically mod-like (natty white plimsolls, old school bag) and ordering something on his mobile phone. Possibly checking out the area for his next biography "Dr Legg, the…
