holloway road will be live still

lol completely irrelevant but i just went on the holloway rd history section on wiki:

The earliest record giving the name of the road as The Holloway dates from 1307. The main stretch of Holloway Road runs through the site of the villages of Tollington and Stroud. The exact time of their founding is not known, but the earliest record of them dates from 1000. The names ceased to be used by the late 17th century, but are still preserved in the local place names "Tollington Park" and "Stroud Green";[1] since that time, the area has been known as Holloway.

On 22 December 2011 at around 0200 hours a man was stabbed to death at the Landseer Pub in Holloway Road.[2] Jeremiah Watson, 34, was later convicted of the murder.

On Monday 24 December 2012 at around 0040 hours there was a serious incident on Holloway Road at the junction with Mercer Road where an unnamed 22 year old woman was attacked by an unnamed 25 year old man who was later found with swords, a cross bow, hunting knives and a gas mask. An unnamed passing off duty Police Sergeant intervened and managed to chase, disarm and arrest the attacker despite the attacker trying to use his sword on the officer. During the attack the woman was slashed several times with a sword by the man and sustained wounds to the legs arms and face. The injuries are reported to have not been life threatening but the woman was taken by ambulance to hospital for treatment. On 24 December 2012 Timofei was charged with attempted murder.

looks like nothing happened between the 1700s and 2 butters murders in the 21st century

On the subject of curses:

English football side Derby County FC were placed under a curse by a group of Romani Gypsies who were forced to move from a camp so that they could build their stadium the Baseball Ground. The curse was that Derby County would never win the FA Cup.[38] This mirrors the curse placed on Birmingham City F.C..

Despite reaching six FA Cup semi finals between 1896 and 1903, including three finals, they never managed to win the trophy. The next time they reached the final was in 1946 against Charlton Athletic. In the build up to the final, a representative from the club went to meet with Gypsies in an attempt to lift the curse.[38] During the Match, with the score tied at 1-1, the ball burst. It has since been seen by fans of the club as the moment the curse lifted.[38] Derby County went on to win the match 4-1.
