@misscara I know, there is always lots of shit spread along UTP from Nando's down to Oxford Rd and right up to the park. If it's fresh in the morning, it's spread by the evening. Maybe the leaflets could be taped to lamposts? I can see why hughpe…

17 cats will get through a lot of milk.

For anyone wondering if they are tall enough, I think you need to be at least 5' 5'' (or take something to stand on). I'm 5' 4'' and I can't quite see over. The little ledge near the ground is too shallow to stand on for more than a few minutes at a…

No further mice to report. We are now confident we caught the two before they started a family! We have left one trap laid with Dairy Milk just in case.
-
We had mice a year or so ago. We caught five or six in a row (progressively smaller) with traditional traps. I don't go near them but I am told they are quite tricky to set effectively. A couple of times they have taken the bait but the trap hasn't …

It sounds like the steam you saw was coming from The Tynesider, LNER A4 Class 4-6-2 no 60019 Bittern, returning from Kings Cross to Newcastle. The next steam train will be at Finsbury Park around 0950 this Friday, returning about 2045.

Spicy tomato and barbecue wotsits were delicious. I preferred them to the cheesy ones. My favourite crisps were Supakrunchies which were a bit like shorter, fatter wotsits and 'They Only Cost 10p!'

Maybe I am not their target audience, because I love yellow Monster Munch. The Monster Munch wikipedia entry contains gems such as: 'Originally called "The Prime Monster" (a play on "The Prime Minister", and as part of a wider campaign), the decisio…

WillM - I attempted to do that but can't work it out. It said I was now signed up but I never get the option of Orange when the T-mobile signal goes. I followed all the settings instructions (iPhone). Guess I will have to phone T-mobile which usuall…
-
I'm on UTP and T-mobile signal is consistently terrible, also 3G is non-existent in most of the flat. Vodafone is fine and always at full strength.

I still sympathise because I know from experience that noise pollution can wear down your resilience and sense of proportion until it takes over your life and makes you act/write in a way you wouldn't normally. It can make you feel vulnerable and ou…

The sticking-out clock on Charteris Road.

Speaking of damn fine coffee, is anyone watching the rerun of Twin Peaks? It started on the Horror Channel on Monday and I wonder if it's as amazing as 20 years ago (I can't get that channel and am considering buying the DVDs).
-
@miss annie, they did have a couple of medium-sized elaborate gold frames in the main room but the vast majority were plain. There was a back room with very large frames but I think those were mostly plain as well. The prices were excellent - from £…

@Emma, the absence of a bench under the bridge links neatly to Jim's spurious Pigeon Poo thread. Perhaps the bongos will scare away the pesky pigeons and they will poo elsewhere (Perth Road)?
-
There are big signs outside John Jones, announcing: Jumble Sale 6 November 10am-4pm Frames, canvases, art
-
The bongos have moved. They are now being played under the railway bridge near the station and can be heard from as far as the wig zone.

This is interesting, particularly Section 10 on the social/gender consequences of prostitution. http://www.ewlcentreonviolence.org/IMG/pdf/handbook-EN.pdf

I agree that this is a complex issue. As Amanda says, the 'normalising' of such establishments has had a negative impact on many women directly involved. Miss Annie, it's great that you're not bothered but I always walk past with a shudder of humili…

Misscara you might be onto something there. I haven't seen him for ages either, and he DID disappear at the same time as TNH.

Echoing ADGS, your dinner guest sounds like a pescatarian not a vegetarian so you have a lot more options than the usual veggie haunts, but as a lifelong veggie I recommend: Vanilla Black: lovely, special night out, it's about £35 for three cours…

I recommend beautiful Banqueting House and the fascinating Jewel Tower - both in Westminster.

Thank you for the warning, Jeremy.

A breakfast pancake at Dudley's?

@andy It's in the old Osso premises.

There is often stuff left out on UTP near the SGR end. It ranges from big articles of furniture, to books, to make-up. Most of it seems to go very quickly. I think it's a great idea as long as the people who take it really want it, and don't just ch…

I had a similar problem in my old flat. It turned out to be a problem with the circuits running under the floor. The electrician had to identify the section that was causing the problem, which took him ages because he had to keep isolating different…

We have been invaded by wildlife this spring and summer. Firstly moths, then ants. The ants are a new feature (we're on the second floor of the building). They swarmed through the edges of the bathroom window and have now taken up residence in every…
