I went to Acorn House last year. It was okay. Oddly, though, Dawson has a sister restaurant called Water House which is actually located beside the Canal, in Haggerston. Surprising they don't sell the...

Has the Mayor of London really suggested immigrants "go back where they came from"? I thought it was an adviser, and not Boz himself, who made that remark the other week. ...

Bollocks - she was appointed as a tokenist gesture to try and generate some interest in what has become a moribund prize. When she realised it would possibly involve, y'know, some actual work, she duc...

I imagine Lily Allen's career as anti-knife advocate will be as successful as her stint as Orange Prize judge. ...

Thanks for that, Graham - didn't realise Routledge was at Villa He certainly seems a curious signing, unless your reserve team was in need of a half-arsed has-been. ...

Actually there are a number of listed tower blocks in London, including the Keeling House in Bethnal Green (in 1993) and the Goldfinger tower pair of Balfron and Trellick. ...

They're taking their sweet-ass time about this. I worked next door to this building in late 2005, and the thing was already decommissioned and they were putting up signs about what was to take place. ...

Thanks for your comment, Babb. I agree that it's absurb that 'starchitects' can wax about how wonderful a building like Robin Hood is, without actually having to contemplate living there (though it s...

This reminds me of that memorable scene in Back To The Future pt. 2, where Marty McFly (played by an impossibly young Michael J. Fox) is devoured by a hologrammatic shark as part of an advertising cam...

"Make them eat their mobiles"? That is seriously the best idea ever. They can chow down on their Nokias with the tinny beats of the new Akon single still bleeping away. Was that "group of old kids on...

Maybe we should get Phil Collins, Andi Peters and the guy who used to star in the Mr. Muscle adverts to pose with handguns and flickknives in a multi-platform campaign. Associating violent weapons wit...

They're opening an all-organic food store on nearby Essex Road too. There might be a market for it with all the disposable income sloshing around N1, but the economic climate might not be favouring su...

"Ecologically friendly light show"...? How's that work? Is it powered by the bumpin' and grindin' of the crowd? ...

You're right - if Ken acts as a lightning rod for all the anti-Tory vote, then it will help keep London Labour visible in what are likely to be some trying years. The trouble is, I don't think Ken's l...

Dramatic weight loss? Presumably she's now become antimatter, as there was barely anything of left of her to begin with....

This'll go down nicely with a cup of that 50 quid a pop cat shit coffee you can get at Peter Jones. ...

I used to live near Southgate road, and my block was also on the cusp of Hackney and Islington. It actually had numerous benefits - I could join libraries in both boroughs with ease, for example. Actu...

We should probably leave George alone at this point. He's a shell of the man he used to be, you can see it in those grubby little peepers. He knows his administration is busted, his legacy written, hi...

Excellent. Will be visiting this week, most definitely. ...

Can't Beckham just feck off, for the love of God? Didn't we deport him to the States so we wouldn't have anything to do with him and the Missus anymore? It's too much, it really is. ...
