Yeah this was round the corner from my place (never got an invite, bah)

The helicoppers were right above my flat for a while. I'm wondering if it will prove to be a one off...

In other news a naked man was arrested parading about Clapton this afternoon. Do you know anything about that, marty21 ?

I never parade naked on a Sunday, it's just a silly rule I have.

I live in Stamford Hill but I wasn't aware of this happening, I'm a bit too far from Bethune Road to hear anything anyway.
Sounds like it might have been a bit exaggerated?

I'm sending some food to the refugees in 'the jungle' in Calais with the group leaving next week : I know it's short notice but of you want to donate male clothing, a tent, torches, books or food, you can leave it at Sov tomorrow and I'll take it to the pick up for you on Monday...

Yeah, gutting. Was the most decent pub on Church Street for a good while.

The Birdcage on Stamford Hill has been closed for about a year now too.

Still. 100 kinds of tea. In a pub.

a radical bookshop of my acquaintance was contacted by the publishers of ap/rn some years ago regarding a debt that had built up. it was quickly paid: when parnell square calls you don't wait for the knock.

"The perils of running a radical bookshop" would make a good bit of journalism for someone...

Also this Sunday (earlier) Stoke Newington Jumble Trail: http://www.jumbletrail.com/event/Stokey

Picture from last year:

 

[rutabowa]

there are other sound systems as well as solution, the guy who runs the rizla stall on ridley road market is doing one. I don't know how he knew that I'd be interested but he called me over through the market crowd and told me.
