I imagine it's no longer there, but I had a season ticket for 2 or 3 seasons around 2010-2014, and used to stop religiously at a hole in the wall place (literally) that served hot salt beef Bagels and rye sandwiches around here I think. Does anyone else remember it? Fuck they were good

Oh piss off, nothing to do with the primary reason cited by the quoted person above I.e. too much hospo businesses tipping the balance? No no..it must be the lack of parking..led with an image of an empty road and on street parking. FFS

Confused. Reading a paperback copy from the library here on Waiheke Island (NZ) at this very moment? Paperback just released in the UK?

Had a license and driven for a decade previous, but never actually owned a car until we lived in the UK, here is Trotter, 1981 (I think) VW T25 on her maiden trip (with us) to Scotland in 2006. Sold her to some banker a couple of years later in London

My bio includes #Wine so it's about time I posted about it.

It's been like 5 weeks since the Vietti tasting at Caros Wines in Grey Lynn, but I'm still thinking about it

Fantastic range across whites and reds, the Lazzarito Barolo the star for me, unfortunately taking one home was out of my range..

Arsenal-ing in the early mornings from NZ these days. The two games which bookended my life in the UK. Wigan away 2005 (the Henry free kick one), and the 2014 cup final v Hull. So much shit (and tbf some good stuff) in between 🤣
