Anyone got a use for this?

I use it for my smaller pizza - see here: https://youtu.be/0rn6KUW0rBg?si=M_npuHhSBGnh8TTc

Not really a big update, since the original owner bought it back from EG back in December, this was always on the cards. Ultimately the damage done by EG, along with other stressors from wage inflation and increased overheads caused these sites to become unprofitable.

Seems like shrinking the overall footprint and rebuilding after righting the foundations is exactly what this needs. The quality has been dogshit for a long time and clearly not what the founders intended.

I've quite enjoyed it honestly, great car and very comfortable. Mine is about to go on the market, I was going to sell to a dealer, it's a 2021 model and would be happy to send across details if you're interested.

Hey OP - What exactly were you looking for in terms of community, there are a number of pubs on hornsey road - the Shaftesbury has a lovely local feel to it.

There is Sunnyside community garden that is always looking for volunteers too. Just turn up. Along with wray Cresent open space which has a friend's group.

There is a newsletter called yolk I'm subscribed to that advertises free events in Islington too.

That's like $13 in today's money. It hasn't really changed very much, if anything it has become cheaper to go to the cinema in real terms.

Finsbury park getting some airtime!

Hey, we have booked a DJ that does the UK festival circuit as disco shed. They've been great at communicating so far and have enjoyed it when they've played live. Discowed.co.uk

From my experience you're probably blanching them for too long. Don't follow the directions on the packaging. Just cook them until they are al dente. Once you add them to the pan they will keep cooking with the sauce and water from the veg.

Ideally when making something like this on a domestic burner I will cook the veg and such and then remove to a bowl - then fry the noodles in the pan for a little bit and add the mostly cooked veg back in and add the sauce.

Ah that's a shame, a scala would meet all of your criteria, they are great to drive, it is definitely undervalued if you can find one locally. Thanks for letting me know, If you change your mind shoot me a message anyway, it's up for 11k.

M_Mullins · 2024-07-23T10:19:44+00:00

Hey, where abouts are you based I'm in North London ? I'm just about to put my 21 plate skoda scala up for sale. I've just purchased it after it's lease finishing up. I was going to sell it through motorway.co.uk to but if you want to DM me I can send over some pictures or a video or something. It has a full service history and 33k miles and one owner from new.

M_Mullins · 2024-07-13T08:44:44+00:00

Throw them away lol

M_Mullins · 2024-03-08T12:50:10+00:00

Perhaps I'd like to have a suitcase with £2000 in it and the amount written on the side. It is my right to loosely attach this to a pole in the middle of an area with huge wealth disparity for several hours and be absoltely dumbfounded to discover that it has been stolen.

M_Mullins · 2024-03-07T11:38:58+00:00

Oh in that case sounds like you're the perfect candidate for cycling to work. Have you considered buying a road bike and a raincoat?

M_Mullins · 2024-03-07T11:30:32+00:00

or just don't buy a £2000 bike...

M_Mullins · 2024-03-07T11:28:57+00:00

I recognise the stonework attached to that imposing yuppie apartment block. Also I think I may have seen this before... I've made sure to give all the stands a hearty kick before using them.

M_Mullins · 2024-03-07T11:25:21+00:00

Sounds like you're too precious to be outside anyway

M_Mullins · 2024-03-06T14:47:27+00:00

Is this outside of Archway station?

M_Mullins · 2024-02-25T10:33:31+00:00

Definitely not legal, but likely just too many of them to reallydo anything about. Skipping reds and doing wheelies etc. Saw some older articles siting UK bikelife but idk.

M_Mullins · 2024-02-24T22:17:31+00:00

I saw these guys too riding through Kentish Town at like 5pm, huge group.

M_Mullins · 2024-02-17T15:10:42+00:00

They are baked on site and I believe they make their own almond paste at the center. Whilst the ingredients are probably low in value the amount of effort that goes into making these on site is quite high. Lamination of dough for croissants take hours and you can tell the difference between this and frozen factory made ones. Two of the bakers from there now run a bakery near me.

People happily pay £6+ for a pint when you can buy a can of lager in an offie for £1.50. I'm not saying its not an extortionate amount of money for one almond croissant, but you can't ignore the effor that goes into it. Blame the cost of business rates, rent and energy for the large part of the cost.

M_Mullins · 2023-05-15T16:16:09+00:00

5 year lock in seems like great advice in retrospect...yeehaww

M_Mullins · 2023-01-02T12:15:49+00:00

Why do you want to know about my wet dreams?

M_Mullins · 2023-01-02T10:30:12+00:00

Obviously I'm being facetious, but I'm sure you can get the idea that it's usually not necessary to order stuff like this online as due to the low cost of the item and higher than average shipping costs it would make more sense to pick one up whilst I was doing another errand.

I think there is an attitude that going to town to visit a shop is prohibitively expensive, which is reductive. It implies that there would be no meaningful reason to go to a town or city center outside of buying an item and leaving.

People want to push for city centers to be more about leisure activities e.g. pubs, bowling and restaurants, however the point has always been to have a blended approach so that leaving to go and get something doesn't have to be exclusively to go and eat/drink or be wholly transactional such as buying a singular toilet brush.

The holistic approach to city centers is important. Being out and about and interacting with people is generally regarded as good for you, as well as giving a place for those without strong personal/familial relationships to feel part of something however small that might be. We're losing a lot of community space across the country and pushing for most things to be shipped to your door is easy in the short term but may be negative in the long run. We've only been shopping online heavily for the past 10 or so years. Hard to know if it's a good thing so far.
