Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
Is Harringay Online killing you?
How much dwell time do you spend online? time your screen time...it's not dissimilar to passive distraction of interaction or browsing.
'Binge watching can actually kill you, study finds.'
The Japanese study, looked at prolonged TV watching and the risk of blood clots, but only found a very weak association.
The research specifically looked at deaths caused by pulmonary embolisms – blockages in the blood vessel that carries blood from the heart to the lungs. Of coarse there are other contributory factors, and may be systematic of other behavioural habits like drinking, eating, hydration, posture and lack of physical activity, (a bit like, but not as extreme as long haul flight, which provides it's own dangers of DVT.)

It may not be significant, but deep down we always know prolonged screen time isn't good for our children or ourselves, so get out the Time Out and plan your Staycation, or get gardening, walking, sailing swimming or what ever... just after this post of course.

Unsolicited exposure to such idiotic americanisms as "staycation" will cause me more than my fair share of pulmonary embolisms. Time our local Greens recognised the dangers of imported linguistic pollution. #DyingWightman

Thought about you as we went past one of your favourite local hotels a few days ago. You'll be pleased to know that I spotted no imported Americanisms among the latest effusive comments posted on TripAdvisor website.

We may need to delve deeper to cite Americanisms here, brace yourselves, post Brexit they will be coming thick and fast.

Thank you for siting this, do you feel there may be a case for environmental health and trading standards, for better conditions at this premisis?
I do see families using the Shelton as an interim to Haringey's shortage of social housing provision, hygiene is important no matter how cheep the accommodation, and points to either poor management, attitude or even aspiration to achieve a standard that make people feel human, ultimately I can respect that aim alone.
This Hotel is a resource but can achieve more on a basic level, the restaurant that did exist meant the hotel was less introverted, I've spoken with the counter staff on a few occasions and I am sad to say I have never been impressed or surprised, (considering they are 'front of house.'
I thought the removal of the colonnades was due as a condition of the Shelton's further massing of hotel space to the rear.
In contrast the Green Rooms every time , more dignity to guests, staff are perceptive and reactive.
The Green Rooms is the UK’s first social enterprise hotel. I have visited the venue, and each time I get a positive charge.
There’s a real shortage of affordable hotel accommodation in London that doesn’t compromise on quality. It is a confident, grounded and a creative environment that is open to the wider local community, it is an exciting, inclusive and accessible asset for the area.

I'm Australian, and I share Stephen Fry's exitement toward the evolution of the English language, I'm a colonial after all.
The commonwealth provides us with many diverse words, like veranda, and language will continue to evolve, what's wrong with valley talk? I ain't no dufus, and I'm sorry you don't get off on my speak work, but I don't discriminate against language, 'cause I'm ok with it, blame the internet. HoL is supported by American 'software'...language evolves or it becomes redundant. I don't mean to goof off, but I'll be sure to improve my word station in future.
billandted.org explain it as expanding your vocab, not limiting it:
Contrary to the belief that Bill and Ted speak stupidly, their dialogue is quite clever, and they use words not ordinarily used in modern speech, but which are perfectly acceptable in their own vernacular or context, they just love words and they use them to the best of their limited abilities.

On punctuation, I gladly accept help.

Why are all the references always "outdoorsy"? I'd rather go to an art gallery or a museum or a theatre....paint a watercolour, go look at some amazing architecture...read a book

True equally fullfilling exploits, I'm probably thinking on a cardio vascular level to improve fitness and cognitive ability. After thirty years coaching children to swim my mother opened my eyes to this, and the benefit swimming can bring to concentration for children with learning problems, namely self esteem, (as they become aware of their personal ability.) On reflection it's also the one to one attention that's important with learning. I'm equally interested in your suggestions, as you've touched on two of my disciplines, visual art and the built environment.

I think the world should be less obsessed with physical perfection and more worried about the state of their brains and intellects. What I see around me is a generation of narcissistic intellectually challenged young people, girls in particular, becoming brain washed into thinking their only value lies in looking good and "health and fitness" is sold to them as part of that. Whilst exercise releases serotonins, and is good for overall health, I genuinely worry about the mental health of youngsters driving themselves insane trying to achieve levels of physical perfection that are completely unrealistic. You can tell I was the dumpy child at school that dreaded PE lessons and still have nightmares (literally) about being forced to try and climb a rope.

Thanks Antoinette, I agree, your account shows you were porly engaged. I have taught children from under 9's to 13, and I would never discriminate, and will not tolerate teasing, every child has their own potential to add to the team, I tell the smarties if you want to be a captain one day you have to get the best out of each player by supporting and encouraging your team mates.
Some of the girls I trained with in Oz were big girls, and they made it to the NSW Country Championships, and pushed me along, their company kept me going and made it fun training in the morning. A couple of years back our best player, had behavioural problems with weight issues, but he was spirited and happy and took it straight to a competitive team, I was proudest of his efforts, he responded well in a green field away from the hard landscaped environment of the school.
Sport has to be fun, personable and sustainable for people to return, Its mainly about learning and feeling success and elevating you above the constraints of the norm, not an idealised vision as you say.

Ofcom report:
http://media.ofcom.org.uk/news/2016/cmr-uk-2016/
Six in ten people who use the internet describe themselves as "hooked" on their devices. A third find it difficult to disconnect. But the research from Ofcom also suggests that an increasing number of people are trying to create time away from the internet, so they can have a break or a digital holiday. Jane Rumble is director of market intelligence at Ofcom.
