Saint Rose

Missed Corporation:Blend last night, got to the Garage too late, but Saint Rose were the middle band on, and were quite MOR, but much better than King Adora... a poor mans Manics, when the Manics were a poor mans Guns'n'Roses......

Birdcage was too loud

The music's good, but maybe we were just sat at a shitty table, sound was a bit crap. So where tonight? Not back there, maybe to The Fox Reformed or whatever, the wine bar down the bottom of Stoke Newington Church Street, it's about the only bar we'v...

arcade games

Walked the long way round Listria Park on the way to Church Street today, and saw two magpies and a squirrel raiding someone's bin. They weren't at all bothered by me walking so close to them.Also saw a discarded arcade machine on the road, all it's ...

Street party

There's a street party on our street on the 13th of July, will we go? What do you think... I really like the idea of it, but am in a mood of hating all things about London and everyone in it right now, not sure why, think it's something to do with th...

A quarter of commuters have found love in the tube

according to a poll by London Underground. And who's printing this shite? Yes, Metro. What should the sharpest response be? The other 75% can never find love becuase they've gnawed off their genitals in sheer frustration at the poor service? Stuck at...

Trouble on Stoke Newington High Street

Something must have happened on Stoke Newington High Street, it was closed off when I went out, hence the diversion of busses. No reason for it to have affected the 106 though. Many police in attendance, no sign of an accident or anything though....

Old Street Art Pranks

Saw a wacky situationist prank at Old Street this morning, a breakfast table set up on top of a bus shelter, with bowls, cups, plates, milk jugs, the lot. Snapped a pic but can't get it off my phone until I get home. It's got a mention in London By L...

Walking from Bank to Cannon Street

Down in the tube station at lunchtime

Our trip to Down Street went very well thanks for asking, feel very lucky to have had a bit of a spy around. It's not normally open, but someone has to go down there and do regular inspections so we managed to tag onto the back of that. The station w...
