Last time I was in Wood Green in Dec, I visited my mate who lives in the topflat of a house off Lordship Lane. We joked, I took the piss out of his Emerald shiny nylon bedsheets that his ex left him and we got stoned. We tried to watch Simpsons, I got restless, said goodbye and took a bus to erm...Leytonstone.

Is "The Nelson" pub still open?

There used to be one on Holloway Road, I think it's still there.

Go Hollis!!!! Good work in bringing the habitational minorities into the fore!

 

[rich!]

I've just finished the book the chaps at the nice bookshop in Wood Green got for me.

My next book is from Wood Green Library.

 

[Hollis]

Well, I've just got home. The blue sky is out and the sun is shining in Wood Green today.

 

[strung out]

maybe you should have stayed out a little longer then

 

[Hollis]

Well, I've got the other half of the chicken to look forward to. I might pop out to the shops to buy some light salad cream first though.

More a strip of land between the Lea and the Navigation Channel

Is "The Nelson" pub still open?

Yes. Use to be my local for 6 years. Didn't go in it much. Saw a cracking scrap there once though. Fists and blood everywhere.

Morrisons also have a good deal on their 'Morrison's own' lable whiskey. yum yum

I looked at Wood Green today on a map and was overcome with rage, lightheadedness, and sorrow.

I think you need to get out more love. But not to Wood Green, obvs! We'd never hear the end of it for a start!

Can't say I've tried the own label wiskey.. the own-brand lager is good if you don't want a hefty hangover though. And reasonably priced too.

You should try their cheese and onion rolls, they are delicious and big. 4 for £2.

Didn't Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie used to live in Wood Green. No, hang on, sorry, it was Dalston. Imagine bumping into Stephen Fry coming out of the Dalston Superstore. That would be odd.

Jack Hawkins - Star of 'The Bridge on the River Kwai' and 'The Cruel Sea' - is Wood Green's main claim to fame.

Turnpike lane wetherspoons is far superior to Wood Green Station wetherspoons.

Except that Wood Green Station wetherspoons is opposite morrisons. (I haven't seen their chickens recently btw.)

Resisted the tempatation to buy a Morrisons value quiche and splashed out on a 2 for £3 deal on their cheese and onion quiches. Together with the salad bag and blueberries the bill came to £5 exactly!!

How can you live with yourself

Wood green has a goose... i don't remember it being very exciting though... But that is wood green for you.

Not much to report tonight - a quick dash from the tube. No punch ups of note. Inglorious Basterds is no longer showing at the cinema.

Only went as far as Hornsey today so heres a picture of the W3 bus to keep us ticking over

 

[Ron Merlin]

Very nice! That's dead close to my flat. That pub - The Gate - does massive pizzas and ale that's, well, a bit meh. Popular place.

I used to live just round the corner from there. It's a lovely walk up to Alley Pally.

I shall go to Wood Green tomorrow.

The bggest question for me is, of course, *what random nutjobs will have a stall outside the library*.

I will, of course, pick up a danmed fat hardback from that bookshop on my way.

And possibly, to commemorate one of the world's first cashpoints (at Spouters Corner, no less) I will take out several notes from a machine in the area...

I used to live just round the corner and up the road from there. Still walked all the way to Turnpike Lane spoons for a beer, though

 

[Miss-Shelf]

I've been through wood green on a bus a few times

 

[Upchuck]

I thought about Wood Green today and had to hide under the covers.

Seriously though I once met this foxy Greek chick in the Morrisons coffee shop for tea. She was helping me with something and I was in love with her. I looked really good but ultimately treated her a bit badly because she didn;t know about my love and was unaware how innocent actions would hurt me so much.

Wood Green Primark to open in November!!

http://www.haringeyindependent.co.uk/news/4434869.Wood_Green_Primark_to_open_in_November/?ref=mr

Primark bosses have confirmed they will open a shop in the former Pearsons department store in The Mall, in High Street, Wood Green

That will be an interesting opening day....

Primark said it selected Wood Green because it was an "ideal location" already attracting shoppers from its key demographics

lol
