Alan Ford

Could be one of my LAST spottings of Alan Ford, as we're leaving this area in a week's time. Shame it wasn't more memorable then, I was walking too work, just passing The Pembroke public house, and he was walking the other way, towards Chalk Farm. He...

Heather Jones

Actually I'm just guessing this is her name, she was in a kids TV show called The Queen's Nose. There's a picture of her here. Chalk Farm tube station, this morning....

Alan Ford

It's a fairly grey area in my mind what bits are Primrose Hill and what bits are Chalk Farm, but as this was actually in Chalk Farm tube station, I'll let it go.He (Alan Ford, you know from Snatch and Lock Stock and that) was dressed smartly, but wit...

Fun of London Transport

Cacky journey in today, missed the train, then a passenger alarm shut the Victoria line, a signal failure the Picadilly. AND, there was a drunk guy at the station ticket office, leaning on the counter like it's a bar, bit intimidating really, he seem...

Alistair Campbell

Saw the king of spin jogging near our office, on my way in this morning... he was heading away from Regents Park Road, towards the pizza delivery place, though possibly he was doing laps of the area, as a cow-orker saw him in a similar spot half an h...

Trains, tubes, and flats.

Turd of a journey in this morning, the Victoria line is out completely, which meant the train in was rammed, then Liverpool Street was closed for overcrowding as also the Central line was out... also because the Northern line is now "fixed" the journ...

Anapod update

I use anapod to organise my IPOD, and it's great. It looks like a regular explorer window but you can use it to browse the IPOD by artist / title / genre etc instead of by physical directory... anyway they've just announced another update with suppor...

Jayne Middlemarch

The booted and gloved ex-ozone presenter sat opposite moi on the southbound Northern Line tube (Bank branch, because the Charing X branch still ain't working) between Chalk Farm and Kings Cross, just after 6pm on Mon 1 March.Edited by (61402), Thu 4...

David Gray

Saw him wobbling his head past the Enterprise Pub yesterday evening, on his way to the Barfly to do the www.musicpassport.org show. It was a success by all accounts!

Jonny Greenwood

Radiohead axe hero, on the very same underground platform as me, how exciting! He and a young friend boarded the Northern Line there, and headed South to Kings Cross, as did I. Now I come to think about it, I expect he's been following me around, wai...

All of The Cooper Temple Clause

I was a lucky witness to a secret and intimate performance by the band last night, in a pub in Chalk Farm... not actually a gig, but a rousing rendition of "happy birthday", featuring vocal performances from all members of the band, except the one wh...

Danny Goffey

Walking down Chalk Farm Road this morning, mullet, suit jacket, t-shirt, jeans, surely it's Lovejoy... NO, it was Danny Goffey.

Oystercard update

Aha, just going through my mails (250 spams over the weekend that got through Yahoo's spam filter), and found that this was sent sometime on Saturday... so it looks like it takes 24 hours for an order to go through:The products you ordered through th...

Sarah Cox

She was getting out of her nice brand new Audi. She then followed us to the Lock Tavern.

Wow, the new mail bounce handling code is working far too efficiently, I was sure all the bounces I got were out of office replies, but it seems I'm shedding users at a rate of nots since I turned this code really live this morning... At the moment I...

106 Hell

Got to start this week with a big hinge, JOY of a journey in this morning, it seems the 106 has been diverted away from it's normal diversion so now it doesn't go past Stoke Newington station or along our bit of Manor Road at all. But there have been...

Bus Madness

The chaos on Manor Road started today, with the 106 being diverted down towards Stoke Newington Church Street, made a simple journey very long indeed... Lordship Road looks like it would be a nice place to live though, when the busses aren't going do...

Don Warrington

I passed him as I was heading out of work, he lives round here, I see him fairly often. But to get the points I'm going to mention it every time I do.

Turd of a journey home

All the power went off on the tube, got stuck in a tunnel between Chalk Farm and Camden for forty-five minutes... all the tubes were still out until just now, apart from the Victoria Line luckily, so got back from The Phoenix OK.I hate everything abo...

Avid Merrion

He must live round here. He walked past the Pembroke pub at lunchtime.

Avid Merrion

I've not actually seen Bo Selecta so I can't repeate any of his hilarious catchphrases, but I know who he is and it was definitely him. He was in disguise, IE wearing a baseball hat rather than a neck brace and / or a massive rubber chin.He's got a n...

Miranda Sawyer

OK, as a journalist she's not actually a famous celebrity type, but she's on TV quite a bit too. This lunchtime this was. She smiled at me, clearly I am looking HOT.

Or funny.

A Chemical Brother

It was the chemical brother who didn't have long blonde hair, it was the pub called the Lock Tavern on Chalk Farm Road, it was last night, Thursday 3rd of July.

Rocks single launch (slight repost)

Greetings once again from South London's premier "self-destructive art offensive" (according to Rocksound!).we're having a hard enough time keeping up with our OWN gigs recently, so apologies if one or two have slippedby without us publicising 'em......

Sarah Cox

She was sat outside the Lock Tavern, Chalk Farm Road in a HUGE black BMW four wheel drive thing. This morning, while I was walking to work.

Her feller is Jon Carter, and he owns that pub.
