Islington is also a borough...... not just an area within a borough....

We've had a couple of take-aways and always been happy. Although the first time we ordered via the internet and they didn't get the order. Great chicken marinade and they do various levels of spiciness. The rice is lovely (best without veg in it), the chips were a little soggy but they always are with take-aways. The meal deal is very reasonably priced. The chicken beats Nandos but the chips don't. Generally thumbs up.

Thanks zephyr, Having read your post I decided to check my journey history for a journey I was delayed on. I had been charged ?9.30 for a single journey which should have taken 35 miniutes but took 1hour 40!! I hadn't thought to check. Rather than over charging it should refund the cost of the whole journey for such poor service!! Thanks again.

I don't reconcile my accounts but I think I should. I just keep a record of all my earnings and receipts for expenses/costs and put them in a spread sheet. Very basic, I think I should use an accountant. I mean to use one every year but always end up doing it all myself. As a note some internet backing sites let you download your bank statements straight into an excel format. I don't think HSBC does yet but I know Lloyds does or at least used to.

I can't believe what I've just read. Not about your pain I truly sympathise. I would just like to clarify a few things.... As an Osteopath I can safely say that our Anatomy training is way beyond that of any GP. Maybe not a Specialist who should know the specialist area in minute detail. We do a four year intense degree which consists of two years of human dissection and more anatomy exams than I wish to remember. We had to learn the origin, insertion, action and innervation (nerve supply) of every muscle, as well as the names of each tiny bump on every bone. We even had a real skeleton for a year to study from. Leaving the skull hanging around was always fun! We also study pharmacology, paediatrics, pathology, diagnosis, physiology, biochemistry......... A close friend of mine who is a GP said they did 1 term of anatomy in her 5 year degree. I don't mean to sound like we know everything, we don't. We are very effective at diagnosing and treating a lot of musclo-skeletal complaints including headaches and much more but we are also thoroughly trained to know our limits and what needs further investigation. A GP knows very little about a hell of a lot. We are trained musclo-skeletal experts. We use palpation and examination to aid diagnosis and seek further investigation where necessary. I see so many patients who have been diagnosed by their GP as having Sciatic. Sciatica is not a diagnosis, it is a symptom (Leg pain). It can have many different causes, from a disc protrusion/herniation, muscle spasm causing entrapment, a boney growth, vascular problems the list goes on.... I could go on but I think I'd bore you all. It just frustrates me when a patient comes in as a last resort after months/years of pain which they have suffered needlessly. Just remember an Osteo will not make things worse, we can't guarantee we can take the pain away but we are in a better position than a GP to understand what is going on and what is needed. We also know the names of all the muscles that attach to the hip joint and cross the sciatic nerve. I bet your GP doesn't. I sincerely hope you find the treatment you need and get some pain relief. I am not convinced by surgery, it's more likely to lead to scar tissue but then I haven't seen the MRI report. If the nerve sheath has always been there why has it only now started causing problems, if it's moved there ask what has caused it. Remember not to take the pain killers on an empty stomach if they an anti-inflammatory or you'll end up with a poorly tummy too.

Thanks for the correct terms Skidmark. Question, and agian please excuse my incorrect/poor wording. When turning right I usually go into the yellow box and wait for the on coming traffic to eventually stop. As mentioned this is usually once the lights are on Red. This means I am in the yellow box and turning right with the lights on Red. Is this wrong to do? It is virtually impossible to turn right if you are not the first car unless you are willing to 'just go for it'. I feel an indicative arrow is needed or drivers coming from the opposite direction need to stop driving though on amber/red to allow the traffic to turn right. Yes sorry I mean the lights at CPR/Adys road.

Yes a filter light is needed. Esp turning right from East Dulwich road. To do this you have to go in to the yellow box and wait for the on coming traffic to eventually stop going through on amber/red and then turn nearly always once the traffic to the right has started to move. You just can't turn otherwise. Even cyclists go through from Nunhead side to east dulwich side on red, I've nearly caught one when the cars have eventually stopped and I go to finish turning right. There is a right filter on the lights at goose green why not at the rye? It is so tragic about the little girl, I just hope they actually make the junction safer.

185. 484 is horrible esp during rush hour. As a note, I put a friend on my car insurance and it only cost ?20 for the rest of the insurance year (9 months). Much cheaper than temporary. I've also put a friend on when I renewed and it reduced my premium!
