Wood Green chitter-chatter..

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.
Maybe you should have chosen a more romantic location than the Wood Green Morrisons coffee shop.

It was her choice cos she worked round there. It was a 'professional' meeting. But i was in love. If she had asked me to drink it on the kerb I'd have done so :D
 
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 :D

Can't say I blame you. I'd do the same. I'd rather go in the small Irish place over the bridge than the Gate. Bad ale; great Guinness. Thick as fuck. Yum.
 
For someone who hates Wood Green so much Upchuck, you do so like to post about it quite a bit.

And what you saying about Primarni? :hmm: Be great to have a Primarni in Wood Green! No hockey sticks though, obvs :(
 
tis true Poots, I've been serving blackcurrant soda to the workmen who are doing the new Primark. They're all bloody geordies. And Some of em are well fit. I trust them with the important task of bringing Primarni to wood green.

It's like an itch I can't scratch :p

I think Wood Green could be a great place, it just needs some cleaning up and maybe some redesigning.
 
I don't get why you go on about it being filthy though, I don't see how it's any dirtier than the rest of London.

It's more the people, especially the crowds around the bustops. The people there look scruffy and mad. Those people are Wood Green to me. May sound snobby but I canna help it :cool:
 
It doesn't sound snobby, it IS snobby. You want the people to be "cleaned up"? Get a grip woman, have these 'scruffy and mad' people waiting for the bus ever done anything to you?

I'll promise you something. Actually promise. You'd have a much better life if you got off your high horse and opened yourself up to the fact that people who are different to you are not automatically horrible/pointless.
 
Think about the way you talk about them, here and on all the other threads you've felt it necessary to be ridiculous on recently.
 
It's a scummy place. Simple as. As is Turnpike Lane and Tottenham. Haringey has its fair share of scummy ugly places and Wood Green happens to be one of them. I think the same of Dalston and Hackney Central. Sue me.

Yeah - the Irish place is pretty decent. Haven't been in the Gate for awhile now..seems to be fairly decent. Not even sure if Howard Marks is still doing his rock nights at the Anglers.. So out the loop these days..
 
Haven't been in the Anglers at all - is it alright? What's the ale like? You're right about the Park Inn, it's quiet and friendly. My gf lived round there for years before we moved in together and she knows all the old Irish lads in there. She can't walk past them without them wanting to give her a hug (and more, the randy old sods!) :D
 
The Anglers is under 'new management' and it appears Howard Marks days on the wheels-of-steel are over.. All things must pass. :(

Didn't seem to be any real ale. The high point is the seats. Real quality pub seats.
 
..

Going to toddle off down to Haringey Independent Cinema this Thursday: been meaning to go for awhile.. some interestin' looking films on: 'In Prison My Whole Life' this month.. ..
 
Yes -it wasnt' bad.. Unfortunately I got up to me usual trick of falling dozing off in the first half.. Next film is 'Bablyon' - summat to do with Brixton.. :cool:
 
I'm having flashbacks to holidays from uni, where I would spend hours in the Costa Coffee in Ottakars.

Anyone remember the Quasar? Or the little cinema by Turnpike Lane station? My bandmate got mugged outside there (well, near Tandy) :D

are you on the Harringay ladder its got a reputation for that sort of thing = grim
 
Yeah I am, seem to have got off lightly but we're looking at staying round here so will probably have a nightmare soon.
Where else can you live that's cheap though? I know mice are a problem allover london but it is a bit rank knowing that there's nothing you can do to stop cocks and rats and mice coming in your house and running riot.

I was born on a council estate near Wood Green. I was very very young, but my siblings all said how the lifts used to smell of wee.
