when you go for an Indian meal what do you order for starters?

[suzywong]

Thenk you

the barnes trip was worse than match day travel to twickenham

I was too vain to wear my specs to check the bus number as all the double deckers at my stop were 253s and all the single deckers 106s.

God, I felt stupid the first day the double decker 106s ran...

What time of day?
I have honestly never encountered this and I travel on it daily

Are you sure it wasn't a match day?
Then it is full of buffoons for sure

(not that I live in Barnes either!)

not a match day, a summery day prob last July, around 6.45 was worried as had to be there by 7.30 and nearly didn't make it

Barnes used to Freak Me Out
not really London is it?

Shall we take this conversation to Banners and make a night of it?

had lovely mojitos last time i went to banners

Ah well that explains it
It is 20 mins to Barnes when trains running normally
So the trains must have been up the chute
In which case yes they would be a nightmare
A total nightmare

And would explain the people talking to their wives who are prob revving up the 4x4 to come and get them but they are late therfore being courteous

Barnes is full of freaks
(i do know a nice person who lives there too!)

no they were running normally i nearly missed the 6.45 cos of crush of blackberries (blackberry crush??)

tbh i prefer the stinky slightly mad people on the piccadilly line, and even the rowdy arsenal fans on the victoria line

how odd that htis started out about indian starters and has now become an anti-Barnes thread

They don't even have a decent indian there ffs

I am rowdy arsenal fan
I HATE the Dilly having lived on it for years
And the District

Northern is ok actually apart from teh filth and mad people
it seems pretty reliable to me

I did like the Jubilee when I lived on that (though rarely used it just got the bus or walked)

oooh no I'm not anti barnes

or perhaps i am

actually am anti burbs a bit, but that's because i'm a zone 2 lass who doesn't mind a bit of a scrummage but with normal people

Haloumi L T sandwich and hot chocolate for hangovers sitting at the Banners' counter ignoring Simon Pegg and Andy kershaw ... ah how I spent my early 30s

so what kind of London is Boris going to create?

i don't mind the fans that much

except the one who tried to shove me down the stairs even after I told him I was pg (probably about 6 mths with dd2, so it was pretty noticeable..)

mostly they are Ok

am still traumatised by very thought of boris (still occasionally see him in waitrose on holloway rd)

I assumed from your profile and dh in tv that you lived in Crouch End tbh

oh you BAGGAGE!
you mentioned Waitrose Holloway Road!
I can bear it no longer, only the image of the cement and pebbledash facade of the Sobell Centre will bring me down to earth.

snort!
i'd rather live in stokey than crouchy!

You talking to me, CD < said in true Travis Bickle style>?

Yes crouchy went way down hill when Les Dennis used to sit prominently in the window of the King's Head.

Oh Lord I'm right back in 1999 now.

No wongster I know where you live

Where do you live then Bundle??

she lives in Highbury
