  • basically you wrap up the HD in a few layers of freezer bags (and I put some kitchen paper round it to soak up any moisture just in case - though think that was overkill) then after a couple of hours you take it out and try to use it - mine went fro…
  • @andy - have you tried the freezer/cool box technique for recovering data from a crashed HD? I thought I would need specialist data recovery, but in the end it worked for me.
  • There are a lot of landlords who refuse to use agents advertising in Loot - Sorted my last place out like this, the landlord was an old school Judge and everything was legit, was 160/wk for a 1 bed flat on SGR so pretty reasonable I thought; and no …
  • If she wants some more respect, she needs to take on the putin look: ![putin](http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2541/3741643673_aa1cc4eee4.jpg)
  • yeah exactly. The bill of rights also says no financial penalties without the judicial system involved - so if you get a fixed penalty you've always got the right to have the matter dealt with by a court instead.. Decriminalised parking enforcemen…
  • This is it. It looks uncontrovesial on paper, but there's going to be a hell of a lot of disruption. They did this repaving in highbury around where I work and for a very long time the roads were a nightmare for traffic and people on foot. Then …
  • Where you hire out the rowing boats, there is still a sign saying 'abolutely no mooring on the island' - so I suppose you would still have to sneak round the back and keep your eyes open for attendants to get to 'treasure island' - plus ça change. …
  • Yes, I can't help but notice them now even though its such a pointless silly thing. The best one I've seen is at Turnpike Lane - the metropolitan police have a kind of shop front and it says "Wood Green and Haringay ward" as the subtitle on their…
  • really interesting read, thanks for sharing. Incidentally they misspelt the Harringay Arms in 4.61 (Haringey rather than Harringay, obsessed with the name of their own borough maybe?)
  • Instead of breaking our backs digging these holes into lakes, lets just break the lid off the "covered resevoir" then we can settle the is it a secret underground military base argument, and have a gorgeous man made lake for knock down money.
  • Kebabalicious meets or exceeds the underscore_cue standard! Had a lamb shish and the meat was much nicer than Black Sea BBQ.... Also the subject of the sauces came up in coversation with the owners, and apparantly they are made personally in the…
  • but really.. who is it? What does it all mean? What circumstances lead to a phantom user...
  • thanks v much for the heads up Ali, I've been with BE since 2007 so I'm def out of the minimum term. It looks like the same speed of connection is cheaper through o2 than Be, whether or not I go for this bundling in deal - and presumably they're…
  • @shaunG: The woody's sesame bloomers are baked in tottenham
  • ah McCartney's Ex - yeah should have realised macca/mukka one legged hate figure woman. I'd googled mukka and just found some unknown myspace style band promotion, and I was really confused as they're obv not famous, and they're more than one person.
  • I'm an o2 customer for my mobile - I heard that BE got taken over by o2 but noone told me about this special deal! What is it? Can I get money off my BE bill because I'm with o2
  • Someone else (on the other thread I think) mentioned BE - I'm with them as well, and they've been excellent with me, I had to deal with their customer services a few times to move house and they were super, often it would just ring briefly and then …
  • who's Mukka? (sorry if its explained earlier in the thread, couldn't find it)
  • I've climbed onto the wall on M.P. Villas but the drop on the other side was too high so didn't actually do it. Why don't we all meet up at night wearing black polo necks and balaclavas, carrying ropes and grapling hooks over our shoulders like the …
  • I just posted on that moving from tufnell park thread about a friend of mine who suspects that there is some sort of secret base in there... And then I saw this thread, where you appear to have heard the same myth/rumour... btw I'm curious where…
  • Someone I know is convinced that the covered resevoir is/has in it a huge underground war bunker... Obviously it isn't/doesn't, but he based this on a place near york that has some concealed satellite dishes and claims to be a covered resevoir b…
  • I felt I had to step in as I think tosscat has had a funny turn (heatstroke?) or someone has tied him up in the cellar and logged in as him
  • @Andy I think you planned this all along... Pretending to be altruistic, running a brilliant quirky forum at your own expense out of love for your neighbours.. And then when everyone's starry eyed and enamoured with your selfless devotion to the…
  • you can buy that in the Londis? Great, I won't have to wait around for unreliable dealers anymore
  • the Jamaican food from the mobile guy who parks in chapel market is really good. Its better than the stuff from Hummingbird or Island grill.. While we're on the subject have found a really good nigerian food stall, its outside in dalston square w…
  • yeah the world is a great big onion, but it makes it easier to understand if you think of it as a leather football
  • has anyone been to fig in barnsbury? Similar one-off treat but its really good.
  • I have the same problem at work, you can put "firefox portable" on which is a specially adapted version that doesnt need installing with administrative priviledges. Its designed for putting on a usb stick but you can just put it in your user dir…
  • This story's Not SGR related because I was in Vauxhall, but on topic because I think the guy was probably on crack. I left my mate in my car to get something from the shop and while I was in there a guy came up to my mate and asked to use the lig…
  • Thinks you need an asbo? So what makes her an expert in criminal justice? Does she think she's a fucking policewoman now? You should have pointed this out and then said I'm not a doctor but I know that you need tablets to chill you the fuck out
