My week has been pretty good. I recorded a new single with my band, The False Dots on Wednesday, saw one of my favourite bands, The Dickies on Thursday, saw the wonderful play 'Patriots' on Friday at the Noel Coward Theatre on Friday and had a very pleasant curry with my Daughter at The Mill Hill Tandoori last night.
That was my week, what was yours like? More to the point, what have our local Twitteratti been up to. In truth, it has been a pretty interesting week, with a decent selection. This feature will be on holiday next week, so it's just as well (I'm not around on Sunday), so you'd better enjoy this!
1. Lets start with a question. Did you know there was an HS2 project in Edgware? I didn't until I saw this. Does anyone know the details?

3. Did you know London's first nightbus ran from Cricklewood to Liverpool Street?
London’s first night bus began running 110 years ago. The 94 ran from Cricklewood to Liverpool St station, taking early workers to newspaper offices in Fleet St and the meat markets in central London.

7. This is a proper good bit of tweeting!
Thanks to @Lee_Limerick for showing me this. I scratched my head for a while, it's the old Savoy cinema on the Broadway. It was bought by the Essoldo chain (who had a cinema in Queensbury too), in 1961 and was that for one year before becoming a Mecca Bingo Hall. https://t.co/rSRtPempKi
