Tragic and stupid. Didn’t see any coverage so just in case you didn’t know. http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2718391 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 Fatality announced on the workforce due to an accident on the M25 Widening Project this Morning 20/10/2010 - Apparently crushed by a large earth moving vehicle http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2712920 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 The new dramatic Chipmunk is a simple English grey squirrel somewhere in London: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5zqNjulyWnE http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2709871 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 you missed World Zombie Day on Saturday!

Any idea what’s going on? http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2709250 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFZyv93GYDA http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2701723 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 I always tag my pics of LONDON with “Londonist” but never get them into the “contribute thread”. It seems that if I put in pics of Florence, Venice and Barcelona and tag them “Londonist” they will appear here. Some mistake surely. http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2698794 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 I’ve been convinced the new victoria line trains are significantly hotter than the old stock… it seems i’m not alone (see first coment) http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23860358-new-victoria-line-trains-23-times-less-reliable-than-the-old-ones.do i can’t proove it… I need to get a thermometer but that can’t be right surely? maybe one of your readers could help? http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2697520 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 Even worse than that - our Victoria Line Train had heating on this morning - no wonder the tube is always hot! http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2696889 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 Total TRAVEL CHAOS on the eastern end of the Central Line this morning. Announcements saying signal equipment stolen at Debden, train derailed somewhere, Trains parked at Loughton and nothing going West for over half an hour for no explained reason… http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2695357 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 Tessa jowell no longer appears on Google maps but David Cameron, James Gray and David Burrows have taken her place. Camoeron the only one with any reviews “…For those struggling to find David Cameron, walk towards Thatcher then take a sharp right.” so no idea if the other two are worth seeing…. http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2693867 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 Regarding the Heat in the Tube, 3.5 million passengers a day and no one seems interested. Perhaps they assume I am going to come up with the usual “Bad Science”!? http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2689241 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 Pope’s ride got pimped! http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2689240 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 the pope just got stopped by the police outside buckingham palace! http://www.youtube.com/popewatch#p/a/f/1/8eEEFWjENzw http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2688843 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 Regarding the Heat in the Tube, the answer is actually very simple if one addresses the real problem. There is an urban myth that says the tube is always hot - but it’s not. Be more aware of what is going on in this respect - people are starting to wear coats and jacket - they did not 2 months ago. If you publish this I will feed you more observations and evidence! http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2687635 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 Re your map of London V2 bomb sites. The one labelled Belmont Rd, Erith is dated February 1944, but I understand that the first V2 to land on London was in September 1944. I guess it should be Feb 1945? http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2665240 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 I just heard from inside Tehran that Ahmadinejad has prayed to Allah that the countdown to Armageddon has begun http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2652999 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 Did you that in the 1920s Walthamstow had film studios larger than Pinewood and Elstree and was hefty competition for Hollywood? Unfortunately WW2 changed all that. http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2637343 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 I overheard a reporter from the Camden New Journal say that he’d spoken to a musician who used to busk in the Tube stations, but will not be allowed to in future. Evidently banjos and ukuleles are now banned. http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2634566 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 I’ve been trying to find some historical information about the road I live on, and stumbled across this website, detailing the proceedings at the Old Bailey between 1674 and 1913. It’s strangely fascinating because everything was taken down verbatim, and there aren’t many places where you can see the (very) common man’s words from that long ago. http://www.hrionline.ac.uk/ccc/browse.jsp?path=sessionsPapers%2F18420228.xml Anyway, thought you might be interested in it too. I’ve no affiliation with the site! http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2615972 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 I used to live in Spitalfields, in Calvin Street to be exact. Now I live in rural Devon. One day I should write a book about the difference and why the countryside is over-rated. http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2610997 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 http://sify.com/news/new-london-olympic-site-was-once-a-pow-camp-for-germans-news-international-kguu4hehggh.html Britain’s new Olympic site was once a prisoner of war camp for captured Germans including members of the SS and Nazi U-Boat crews. http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2610896 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 Nice shoots :) http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2601002 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 http://shepherds-bush.blogspot.com/2010/06/murder-on-askew-road.html breaking story really but someone was murdered in the early hours of yesterday in Shepherd’s Bush - the community are using my blog as a means of sharing information and discussing what it means to them http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2598050 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 Why do they announce that the Tube will not be stopping at the next station AFTER you have left the station before! What’s the point? http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2597870 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 What’s the deal with the Overground Line that crosses North London? Did we have to sacrifice our Overground so East London could get theirs? http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2590575 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 In one of your posts: http://londonist.com/2009/03/just_what_london_needs_more_starbuc.php I had an account by the name of Space Monkey and now I changed it to: http://www.flickr.com/photos/teyes My older account does not work no more. Please if you don’t mind link that image to my account and my name: Thuraya Almihrij I appreciate your help and understanding :) http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2588838 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 Robbo has been at it again! Banksy’s work on the side of Namo in Victoria Park has been “improved”… http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2585183 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 Welcome to Stratford International. Change here for trains to the UK only. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/10154343.stm http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2554894 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 The East London Line railway will officially open at 12:05pm tomorrow, 27th Apri 2010 http://www.Londonist.com/labs/contribute/#2552791 Thu, 29 Jun 2006 18:17:42 -0500 I really must take issue with the description of the Robin as the “oldest working steamship”. The SS. “Robin” was only built in 1890. The Norwegian paddlesteamer “Skibladner” was built in 1856, and is still fully operational.
