No, neither did I, it doesn't look his style to me.

I read Hackney Council's comment about their policy in covering up 'grafitti' in a paper somewhere last week. Obviously different opinion to Islington Borough - they have covered up the Tesco Flag in Essex Road with perspex so it can't be damaged!

There was a shooting on Sunday afternoon. They haven't named the poor guy yet, but say he is 29 years old. I see this shooting hasn't aroused much interest as they usually do. Seems to me that people are getting indifferent to all the killings. Now that's scary.

Could be that the victim is older? Seems to attract a lot more attention when victims are under 25 as this fits with the 'youth violence' focus of many of the local and national media organisations. Still tragic and no doubt as pointless whether it's a young person or not.

Might be. Also it's emerging he was white and was in a car stuck in traffic, so not sure if it was road rage or if he knew his killer. All the same it's sad that you can leave home with friends, be minding your own business and have your life taken away like that.
 
There was another N16 'incident' in Brooke Road on Sunday afternoon maybe around 3pm? The 106 bus I was on coming back from the Shoreditch area was diverted. There was Police tape cutting off the road from the back of the Post Office to Bayston Road. I don't know what happened but could see two phorensic guys looking into the hedge area of one of the front gardens.

Puts me off.
 
i remember hearing about secret cinema years ago, then hearing it was £10 in some indoor venue..which is a rip off..but 18.50:eek:
i wouldnt pay that to see the second coming of christ:rolleyes:
what is so great about the films they show that they can charge that?

sounds like they took the idea/ideals of exploding cinema and turned ULTRA commerical with it:mad:
 
I was given a flyer card for the Secret Cinema at London Fields earlier that day. I had heard of it before and for some naiive reason had assumed it was free :confused::rolleyes:

So glad I didn't decide to go, it would have been a wasted journey as no way would I ever pay that much to see a film, especially in the open air on a chilly autumn evening!
 
hackney empire is closing for 9 months, started a separate thread about this, but there wasn't much interest, it's sad that they can't make enough readies

I'm surprised. Seriously.

Always seems busy when there's a show on. Must confess unless you walk by you have no idea what's showing (why not leaflet locally?).

This will definitely have a bad effect on the local area :(
