Untitled[edit]

I dispute the reversion of my edits. 'Male prison' is ungrammatical, as it implies the institution has a gender. How can a prison be male? My edit, on the other hand, explained clearly the basis of the gender division between the two incarceration institutions. 86.139.197.33 (talk) 21:35, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In popular culture[edit]

This seems like trivia to me so I moved it to talk. RJFJR (talk) 19:14, 13 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In Douglas Adams' The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, three of the four main characters (Arthur Dent, Trillian, and Zaphod Beeblebrox) first met at a "fancy dress party" at a flat in Islington. Another character, Hotblack Desatio, is named after a chain of estate agents active in the Islington area.

Brittany Murphy's character in Love and Other Disasters almost gets married at Islington Town Hall (she calls it off in the middle of the ceremony).
