Wood Green chitter-chatter..

Nothing you can do about mice and roaches, not true. Fill up any holes you find, make sure you never ever leave food in the kitchen, not crumbs, not dirty plates or anything and treat any cockroaches with power or your preferred method. Also keep your space tidy so that it's not any fun for the little ones, mice like mess.
 
What about a cat? Pretty good for getting rid of mice. Mate of mine had some kittens - said she wanted them to go to good homes..

:(
 
We'll never find somewhere if we have a cat in tow!

Nah it's not so much of a problem now just worried about when we move incase we end up with somewhere infested. Am just keeping eyes open for signs when we're looking and asking landlords upfront then using lie detectors on them (well, inbuilt lie detectors!).

I can cope with what we have now, which is the odd one coming in from elsewhere then leaving again but if I got em breeding and living in my home I'd go mental

they can mess with you I know, check under the sink for signs when your having a look, thats where I've known mice and roaches to get in b4

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

I remember going to that cinema to watch Pulp Fiction for a mate's b'day. I can't think of many cinemas where you could get away with popping bottles of fizz and smoking spliffs.

And that Quasar turned into a great squat venue :D
 
Just been down the Akhbar Tandoori for a take-away.. the quality's really improved of late. Didn't go there for years cause it was abit shit. Could be a change of ownership, but don't want to ask in case it isn't.

I used to go to that cinema! Was gutted when I found out it had closed. I saw Terminator 2 there. And Aliens 3. It was quite liberating being able to smoke weed at the cinema :cool:
 
There's a new coffee shop opened up on the High Road..!! what with Costa Coffee looks like more and more folk are just coming to Wood Green to chill out.
 
I had the misfortune of being in Wood Green yesterday. There were excited whispers in the high st about the pending Primark.

Apart from that I bought a pair of headphones and a tin of quality street.
 
you don't do bad for somebody who supposedly hates wood green, do you love? :D

I've been to the new Primark. It's like every other Primark.

Anyone been to the new Primark yet? :hmm:

Yes, I went for a look-see the Sunday before last. was very crowded.
It's nicely done out, I didn't go upstairs, just had a look at the ladies stuff on the ground floor but saw nothing I fancied. The choice of stock is no better than the Hackney branch I usually go to - just more of the same thing.

Came out after 10 minutes and went across to H&M, was nice and quiet in there and I bought two nice tops :)
 
I will be down in Wood Green at some point this weekend. i will keep an eye out for the greedy hoardes and mad people.
 
I went into Wood Green Primark by accident a couple of weeks ago. It was frightening, like a big game of sardines, I couldn't get back out; I was lost and started panicking, thought I'd never see daylight again. Had to go and have a couple of curative pints in the Tollgate after that, I can tell you.

Breaking news though! A Hawkins Bazaar has opened in Wood Green Shopping City! I'm there tomorrow! :D You lot stay out of there, I don't like crowds. :mad:
 
I was in Wood Green today. It wasn't too bad but there were still heaps of unemployed crowding up the footpaths. I didn't go in to Primark. It looked like a witch's lair: all bright and shiny but masking a deeper horro once you got to the tills. I bought a whole pile of toffee and chocolate from Thorntons.

chuckles, chuckles, chuckles... this is getting really bad :(
 
I was shopping in wood green aswell today, and I did go into primark but yet again ditched my stuff after seeing a huge queue at the checkout. Also, I couldn't find the changing rooms. Pile of wank!

Raided New Look instead :D
 
New Look is quite strategically placed. I was tempted to go in, but something about Wood Green makes me want to go in and get out asap. Did look in H&M and Dotty P's and then meandered down to Turnpike Lane. There was nothing there but some newspaper blowing in the wind and a discarded pair of flip flops.
 
What was it that drew the three of us to that strange land? It wasn't too crowded was it? Fairly civilised for once.
 
..

Its been all change in Wood Green over the winter months. Yates wine lodge has closed down - or is undertaking an extensive refit, while the "Showcase" cinema has changed ownership, now being part of the Vue group. The seats are great - a real top quality cinema.
