  • Oh, also try Audio Gold opposite the Victoria Stakes, they have a few good bits from time to time.
  • Flash Back is pretty crap. Music & Video Exchange in Camden, Notting Hill and Berwick Street are very good. As are Reckless Records. The best in the whole of London is Alan's in East Finchley!!
  • Finsbury Park courts are basic and busy but free. The best courts in the area are up on the wood green end of White Hart Lane (so not really in the area...but easily accesible by, bus, bike, car). You pay 2 or 3 quid an hour and they are very good, …
  • I like Sarah Lund. Do you think Troels did it? I can't see it myself but there you go.
  • I would suggest that a jumper hung over the shoulders is probably more appropriate as an accessory for the caricature that Kreuzkav is trying to conjure up in our/his mind? I am still at a loss as to why there is such animosity towards a certain …
  • Belgravia Workshops, Marlborough Road N19
  • @Marquis - I thought I would go and open a noisy Turkish cocktail bar in the Cotswolds, once the ski season is over, naturally ;-) Mrs N4matt is preggers so we are moving out a bit so we can afford a bit more space. ** Thanks for all the sugge…
  • Spread the love? It's you who seems to be spreading negativity. Judging people on where they eat and if they wear a jumper with a shirt is no different to another person judging someone for drinking Sunny Delight and avidly watching Jeremy Kyle. …
  • It's brilliant. Highly recommended and caters for all abilities. Nice cafe upstairs too where you can sip a post climb hot chocolate and watch the really good climbers do their stuff.
  • I can't believe the fuss being made about a bench, a bench that was used almost exclusively for street drinking and begging. It seems ridiculous. In other news, I was off work on Friday and down by the station at about 9:30 am when Mr Bongo ar…
  • A protest? Over a missing bench that was inhabited by begging drunks and junkies? Jesus wept! Would their time not be better spent getting a job?
  • I blame the bankers and the tories. Where the hell am I supposed to collect free money for skag now? It's a diabolical liberty.
  • **Adjusts bandana, puts out blunt, twists up fingers and gets my swerve on down to the old dairy**
  • Serious question - Has communism ever worked succesfully anywhere? One more question - Was Orwell, in his description of communism, correct when he insinuated in Animal Farm that under Communist rule, 'All are equal but some are more equal than o…
  • Pop round to the plumbing wholesalers on Ormond Road (just off Hanley Road). Ask to speak to Eddie*, tell him what job you need doing and he will recommend the most local and most appropriate plumber. It's worked for me several times and each time I…
  • Can anyone recommend a good route to Victoria then? I think mine could be improved.
  • Hey Sam, It's a lower ground floor flat and occurs only where the stairs go above my flat to the entrance to the main building, perhaps not damp just water coming in through the outside stairs, although I imagine a small amount of replastering an…
  • I've recently noticed in and around SG that there is a four man motorcycle team (light scrambling BMW bikes) of London's finest which seem to work as a quick reaction force. It all looks a bit robocop but if they are cleaning up the mean streets or …
  • I think that it's fair that any venue like this should be mindful of their neighbours and not over do the noise. However when purchasing or renting a property, common sense dictates that if you live above or next to a pub then you must be aware t…
  • I'm not a politician/policy maker but the idea that we should not encourage people back to work in case the number of local robberies increases seems a little ridiculous. That appears to be the tone of Ali's message above, if I have interpreted …
  • Rubbish, there's a lot of work out there, granted perhaps the certain specialist roles are thinner on the ground than perhaps a few years ago but there are jobs. The problem is that so many people will only take a role that fits their *insert cho…
  • Wow, so Ali, shall we not encourage people back to work in case that 'work' becomes crime? You're right lets keep giving people hand outs so that they don't feel the need to go out robbing. Alternatively, they could go out and work like the rest …
  • There's been several nights recently when we have heard the police helicopter just hovering around - sounds like they were looking for someone or something. I have also noticed several police hanging around in unmarked cars but wearing uniforms (sli…
  • It's strange isn't it? No matter how delicately you put it someone will always assume that if you criticise service it's because you think you are superior and above the staff. It's a knee jerk reaction. If people pay for service then surely it's no…
  • From a personal point of view, I can't stand the Stroud Green branch of Tesco and for many years I have, by and large, gone out of my way to avoid it. While some of the staff are very pleasant and professional, the unpleasant and unhelpful ones m…
  • Soul II Soul and a lot of the sound system guys were based around Stroud Green. Quaff records started on Stroud Green Road, Paul Anderson is from the area, George Power still has a studio in the area, Jazzie lived just off Hanley Road for years and …
  • Wow, you'll be lucky!!! Very little vinyl going for much dough these days...I've got a few thousand house 12"'s from 1988 to a few years ago and they're going to the tip when i move house. You're better off using discogs.com for anything rare and…
  • Must say, I'm not impressed by what I have heard about the 'customer service' at SL, it appears a little hostile. I have not yet visited the bar, however someone defending them and in the same post throwing around aggressive statements and homoph…
  • Whoever mentioned teh Tap Dancing guy at the station, he is not new, he's been around for at least 6 or 7 years but his appearences are rather intermittent. As for the rutting noises, it's hard to begrudge someone that unless it really is very re…
  • Sorry to cause such offense. Just because it's a 24 hour store does not mean that you have to buy from there when all other stores are shut but thanks for assuming that I am some kind of desparate dipso who *needs* wine at 4am. As they are in …
