Wood Green chitter-chatter..

[Hollis]

Interesting - I mean I guess the extra-terrestrials could be checking out Ally Pally. It seems logical.

 

[Upchuck]

Was down the Green tonight. There is a funny river effect down the hill from the right whenever there is heavy rain. There were a few women in pumps who fell victim to the torrent. I was in sneakers.

 

[Streathamite]

What's happening with the Queens Head down by Turnpike Lane? It's all boarded up but there was still a fella supping a can or lager in the front beer garden when I strolled past this arvo.

my local when In lived on frobisher road and a legendary droogs bar, back in the day. successful when the scuzziest bar for miles around, the change of ownership sealed iots' doom when they decided to turn it intoa 'sports bar'and go all respectable.

 

[Hollis]

I was checking out the new kerb outside the station- looks like they've got it prepared for the shinjuku style crossing later.

 

[Streathamite]

news to report for all those who need to buy lunchtime sarnie in Wood Green! The caff at the back of WG shopping city (estern side of the high st) is pretty damn good! scrumptious smoked salmon, salad, sundried toms on a large bap, tasted great, all for just £3.00. good cuppas too - you just walk to the back of Shopping Shitty, and then veer right.

 

[Hollis]

Heads up on the Magnum offer in Morrisons. £1.94 for 3 magnums + BOGOF. That's about 33p a magum!! Choice of classic, almond and white chocolate.

The pet shop in the market is accused of selling, 'mangy feral cats'

It's still open though innit. It's the place I was going to kidnap/liberate the guinea pigs from.

The animals there are all depressed and miserable looking. They have problems with rats. Not a nice place

Ethical locally sourced pets they told me

...they keep kittens in a tank.

 

[Streathamite]

It's a weird little market that. Then again, the caff at the back's OK

 

[keithy]

tis good for cheap veg

 

[Streathamite]

v true, and the butcher's good

 

[pinkmonkey]

and for mangy, feral cats....

 

[Ron Merlin]

The Buckingham Road bridge over the railway line isn't even finished yet, and it's being criticised for being a "mugger's tunnel". They might have a point. Hornsey Journal story.

 

[Streathamite]

Your gonna have to give specifics if you're making accusations about Spar.

what kind of passer by was it? It was probably a trick so they could smash your branes in and take your moneys

Must look the type. Never been offered bugger all. An ecstasy pill at Finsbury Park once.. go figure, need it in that place.

 

[Hollis]

Massive house party going on out the back last night.. cocaine fuellled laughter all the way to 6 am. Disgusting. Thank god it stopped then. The Heavy Metal household two doors down have got a gazeebo up, so maybe they're gonna start later.. still Motorhead is preferable to hip-hop.

 

[Hollis]

Just missed Strethamite on the tube.. I was on the up escalator. He was on the down. Interesting.

greeting me isn't illegal, you know

 

[keithy]

I wouldn't recognise either of you

 

[IC3D]

Me neither. On another note the staff in TK MAX appear to believe that the air con is only broken and will be fixed a some point, good luck with that.

 

[Streathamite]

another cracking sarnie find! In the mini-arcade at the back of t'library. cheap and good. you heard it here first.

 

[Hollis]

I'm afraid you had just got on the escalator and were lookin' in the opposite direction, and I was just getting off the escalator as I noticed. Would have caused a major scene.

fair play to the slaphead!

 

[Ron Merlin]

Less Wood Green, more Ally Pally, but this morning I saw a discarded empty bottle of organic beer by the station. Better class of litter lout up our way, clearly.

at self.

You will also be excited to hear that the bridge reinforcement is NEARLY FINISHED!

 

[Hollis]

Pretty exciting that bridge reinforcement. Though it can't compete with the on-going pavement development programme outside the tube.

I think I might go for an afternoon stroll up to Wood Green Civic Centre, check out the entrance foyer.
