re. The Old Ale Emporium (Green Lanes): I've been in there a few times and quite liked it, but it's always jam-packed and I like a seat.
re. The Nobody Inn (Newington Green version): I used to go in there a lot because it stayed open late. Irritatingly Oasis were always on the juke box (it was around 96-97 though).
Does anyone like the Compton Arms in Islington?

There is a Nobody Inn in Newington Green which is actually quite nice (though the back half is a bit like a scout hut if that takes your fancy).

What lido? God, I feel like such a newbie.

It's on Park Road on the way to Ally Pally / Muswell Hill. I have never been as lidos are full of horrible children at the best of times and the proximity to Sprog Central can only exacerbate this problem.

Sprog Central = Crouch End, where North Londoners go to breed
Pshaw Anna. You'll be telling us you've never been on the Crouch End rollercoaster next.

Anna, I may not be talking to you anymore.
When I lived in Royal Leamington S!P!A! I lived just next to the roughest two pubs in the world, or at least I imagine they were, I never went in them. One was called the Jet and Whittle, which was nice. I had to call the police once when I saw shaven headed young gentlemen loitering outside the Jet with an iron bar, drawing a swastika onto the corner shop.

Oh alright then.

What's that mushy pile of goo on the floor? Why if it isn't Cabbage. His days of sex tourism seem long gone. Instead it appears tidal motion has set in.

That has a terrible Tess of The D'Urbavilles ring to it.
The next nearest after that is Ships, which is our favorite bar. Ships is little with one pool table and a great fucking jukebox (bob wills and lightin' hopkins). And it's next door to our fave restaurant, El Monterrey, so you can imagine we get a lot of use out of that particular block.

longshot i know but is there any pub in london where you can play CHEESES (throwing a big cheese shaped wooden block at some bowling pins) like they do in the midlands.

We just got a new local in a converted post office, it's pretty cool, snugs in old bank safes and stuff. Which is good because the actual closest local is fine for football watching but going in with girls feels like a complete no-no. It's basically all builders from what I can see.
