It's really good meat, beautifully packaged. We had a half lamb shoulder that easily went around 4 people, plus some fillet ends (bargain) and sweetbreads. Website was easy to navigate. Looking forward to using them again and wouldn't hesitate to…
Alternatively, think about mixing things up a bit. If you get a short barbell for home use - 4ft or so - and a few plates, you can do squats, lunges, Romanian deadlifts, bent-over rows, etc for a brief and intense full body workout without leaving …
How very unpleasant. I sometimes run around the park after dark, but don't carry anything valuable (phone/ipod) for that reason. While there are often people around - like the BritMilFit guys - there are also plenty of areas which are very seclude…
One cider on tap, I think. Not sure about the bottle situation but seem to recall it was mostly beer. Gather Bottle Apostle (Crouch End) are going to be selling the excellent Gwatkin Herefordshire cider in the near future though.
Potential for some serious overcrowding at the Station Place entrance, I imagine, when the trains aren't running properly (most likely the Piccadilly, which really needs to be sorted out) and it all backs up from platform level with bus after bus ar…

Enjoyed my beef sandwich but felt mildly let down by the bread. Still, a great addition to the neighbourhood.
Popped in for a pint earlier this evening. Well worth the trip - impressive beer list, mostly bottled but decent selection on draft. Only one handpump though, which was disappointing. Food looked good. Lovely big windows and hardly any noise fro…
A lido would be great. Would also like to see some sort of community centre for retired people - cheap food, classes, advice, company - instead of that gateway to the hepatic ward, the WLM.
Walking down Corbyn early one morning in late September, I noticed a car up on bricks, all its wheels removed. Police were present, owners looking understandably nonplussed. Pretty ballsy effort for a residential street and a relatively quiet one …
Monbiot castigates Gordon Brown for cutting corporation tax yet seems unaware that Salmond has pledged to set the rate in an independent Scotland at 3% lower than in the UK (or whatever it might end up being called). He seems to see no incongruence…
Noticed in passing that the boards have been taken down from around the redevelopment on the corner of Corbyn and Evershot - revealing that it has been converted into 8 individual dwellings (that's the number of door buzzers anyway). Not bad for an…
Another coffee place? Tremendous. I also had hoped that it might emerge as a proper bakery, decent bread being one of the few things it's hard to come by around here. Still, at least the incipient hipster encroachment is not yet upon us -http://w…
The quality of the produce at Italian Farmers is excellent, so it's a shame that the range is as limited as it is. The spicy anchovies they sell are utterly delicious.
I was told recently that the FP branch is a knock-off of the original in Kentish Town, not in fact a sister restaurant. Just copied the branding, apparently.
Ah, if only that were true... Not my experience of living in India, unfortunately. Mind you, the worst case of food poisoning I've ever had I got in London (not from the Mezbaan, I hasten to add).
More enlightened treatment of offenders - ie, outside the criminal justice system - would arguably be the most appropriate form of progress. After all, the only (currently illegal) drug likely to be decriminalised/legalised is cannabis, and that's …
My last experience of using a ticket counter, upon reaching the head of the queue, was having the 'Position Closed' sign slammed up in my face before the member of staff behind the counter turned his back to me and walked off. All I needed was assi…
Seriously, it's just a few trees, in a relatively leafy area, right next to a park. Regrettable, but probably excusable in the grand scheme of things. What's that saying about wood and trees? I forget.
I'm a Tory. Islington side these days rather than Haringey/HWGCA. There seems to be some sort of local association but it may only come to life during campaigns. Labour are entrenched in both boroughs and there's no way to compete with the campaign…
