I don't live in Perth Road, but I do go to the Fullback.
Personally I've always been amazed that when approaching it on foot you hear really very little and yet get to the garden at the back and find it rammed-full. Must be summat about the acousti…
I was just looking back in time to Spring 2006 when this board seems to have sprung up. My my, people communicated differently with each other back then - though admittedly there were only a couple of them/you...
I sense some of the old guard feel …
North Islington Nursery on Tollington Park are great. They take kids from 3 months.
The staff are really great, the playground is super and the kids are happy. We looked around other options in the very local area and this was, for us, the hands-do…
@Ali - Education's compulsory, school isn't. I don't know anything about Sparkyley's situation, but in my limited experience it's actually very easy to tell your LEA you'll homeschool your kids (in fact it doesn't even from that web page seem you ne…
Hmm. You mean as opposed to by-law?
Quite a lot of people use the 'byelaw' spelling, and eg Fowler's says its forgiveable, with Wikipedia concurring.
In a railway context, 'byelaws' is arguably more than forgiveable - both contemporary and histori…
A 'mind palace' sounds a much better place to be I agree. Though I might go and put an offer in on that 'apperception alcazar' if it's still in Christopher Charles' window later. Glass houses are like so 2011.
I don't deny anal retentiveness (thoug…
I suspect there's no SGR data because it wasn't oversubscribed - the table is preceded: "The following table show the number of pupils offered under each criterion for schools where oversubscription criteria was used".
It's a 2-form entry so has do…
Misspelling is I agree unspeakably dreadful. But perhaps singular/plural disagreement ('a place'/'their fans'/'its name') whilst observing the same is risky too?
I'll go back to my glass house and stop throwing stones.
And on St Aidan's they basically apply a sibling rule and then a (very small) catchment area - as the crow flies from the school to your address using some funny (and not publically available) Post Office tool.
Last year 190 applications for 30 pla…
Higher value on the open market?
More seriously, having daughters helps because they have a rather better chance of getting into state girls' schools (which are often thought to be better than mixed or boys-only).
@kreuzkav Did you see the Sultans supporting Carter in Brixton on Saturday? I missed them and the Frank and Walters but saw most of Jim Bob and Fruitbat...
Saw him for the first time on Saturday - driving a PO van and singing at the top of his voice at my bemused little girl.
I'm selfishly glad a career in children's entertainment, at which he'd so obviously excel, hasn't tempted him...
Is sg.org now a medium for MI5 handlers communicating with their agents?
Or has Nick Butterworth stepped up a gear?
Or is there actually a fox/badger mash-up in the offing?
My partner first went to Petek the day after it'd opened and we've been back many many times since. Jon is a great host and always remembers us by name. Quite how he has the time to run around smiling and being merry at quite so many loyal customers…
They don't face the street, so perhaps the conservation area point wouldn't win me many favours when One Day I go to war on this.
The Homes for Haringey ALMO document seems to apply to all windows and doors whichever way they face.
There is a bull…
You know when the postman puts one of those red missed-delivery cards through your door, and you're vaguely worried for days that someone's suing you or summonsing you or otherwise going to mess with your head because why else would they require a s…
We own a flat, leasehold, on Cornwall Rd (also in the [SG conservation area](http://www.haringey.gov.uk/stroud_green_conservation_area_map.pdf) ) which Haringey Council own the freehold of.
Very very oddly, when I asked about replacing my windows/d…
Mine were sent back second class about a week ago and came back scarily quickly with either a personalised or at least partly customised proforma letter.
Funny how revenue-earning activities are run so much more efficiently than other ones...
From what she says in [this post](http://www.stroudgreen.org/discussion/3244/road-to-hell/#Item_2) I think julieshrive for one may not be able to cycle...
@ Arkady.
First up, I'll butt out once I've said my piece. Like I suggested above, I'm aware that some people might be hostile to my entering into this discussion. I meant no offence. That said:
This particular pale person never thought tanning wa…
@Mirandola
For some reason I feel I need to declare before writing more that I'm what I believe some police call IC7. I guess there's an argument that it's not therefore for me to comment on skin pigmentation products - who after all is a ginga to …
