An ASBO Debate?
I’m not quite sure what to make of this. In the course of what we’ll laughingly call, ‘growing up’ (whatever that means) I toyed with a number of job possibilities. Naturally as a kid I wanted to be a doctor because, frankly, you can’t regard yourself as having a moral centre as a five year …

Ping Pong
This… http://pinglondon.com/ … can surely only be a good thing. I mean, I’ve got about as much talent in this area as an elephant has at water-skiing, but what is this if not an opportunity to improve… game, anyone?

Covent Garden
How I have managed to get through over a year of this blog and not talked properly about Covent Garden is a mystery…. Okay, so, once upon a time, in the deepest darkest depths of the early modern period, Covent Garden was a proper fruit and vegetable market renowned for prostitution and gin. It sat …

North-South Divide
Someone once defined ‘nationalism’ as a state of not-being. I am English because I am not French, I am Scottish because I am not, oh but so very much not English and so on and so forth. While as definitions go it leaves a certain something to be desired, it does seem that a lot …

Travelcard Crazy
I walk everywhere. But once in a very blue moon I find myself the proud owner of a day travelcard, zones 1-4, and I go just a little bit travelcard crazy… In the world of urban magic, this is a genuine medical problem. Magic long since passed the point where a griffon’s feather was a …

In Praise of Cally Rd Tube
So, there’s not much to recommend Caledonian Rd underground station. It sits just north of half-way up the Cally Rd, more Holloway than it is Islington, opposite an uninteresting block of flats and a recycling/rubbish dump. The nearest attraction of any real note is the Tennis Centre, and even that isn’t renowned for its bringing …

From a Reasonable Height… Pt.2
The speculation has come so close that I figure I may as well add the final photo that solves this particular mystery… Looking East… Looking North East…. Looking North North East! Can you see where it is yet? Who’d have thought a Novotel would have such interesting views…

From a Reasonable Height
![P200510_18.44_[03]](http://www.kategriffin.net/wp-content/uploads/P200510_18.44_03-150x112.jpg "P200510_18.44_[03]")
So, remember how every now and then I post up pictures and say ‘guess where these were taken from’? It’s another one of those… ALTHOUGH… I’m actually holding back two pictures which would give you the immediate answer to your contemplations and there is already a stonking clue in one of them… so deep breath… …
