Try hanging around Charring Cross at night...try hanging out around Shepherds Bush green with the fuckin' Somali lads with the Chelsea shirts on, see what happens Have you any idea how many crackheads and dodgy fuckers frequent the central area at nights? Thats where the proper scum are. Edited January 27, 2014 by sugaraylen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake-Pit Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 (edited) Got my nose pierced here a couple of times.First time I got my eyebrow pierced was here too.Got my nipple pierced here too.Got my eyebrow pierced (again) here.This is where I also got my tongue pierced.I've not got anything pierced here, but here's where I got a replacement ball for my eyebrow when that came off.I also got my current titanium nose ring put in as; I grew to hate my choice of having a blue nose ring from Up In Smoke.I also got a Sex Pistols T shirt here too.This is where I go to with all my guitars.This is something I found of my friend/Owner of Feline Guitars.This cartoon seems to be my guitar guy at work.

Guest Len B'stard Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 The funny bit about that is the sort of snobbery you are subscribing to considers people like you on the same level as the poorer people in the shithole areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Len B'stard Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I'm presuming there has been an umpteenth remake of Pride and Prejudice I have serious issues with Jane Austen, my sister was a huge fan growing up and God it would get on my nerves. Not that there's anything wrong with Jane Austen, its great literature...but when you're 13 years old and your cardinal interest is Tupac Shakur then it kinda runs contrary to where you wanna be at. A good consequence of it though is that I'd read Pride and Predjudice and Sense and Sensibility and all of that since before they pulled it up in school. Unless you were talking about another Mr D'arcy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you were talking about another Mr D'arcy.Sigh, there is no other Mr Darcy. P&P was a favourite of mine in school. I was so happy that my name was Elizabeth, and Lizzy for short. And I dated a man once named Bennett, but that would have been too much to bear.I watch most adaptations. I guess Colin Firth is my favourite for some things, but Matthew Macfadyen made him hot! Hence Twickenham. Edited January 28, 2014 by Orsys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Len B'stard Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Colin Firth, yes, thats exactly the one my sister used to watch, fuck me, that was around in the 90s weren't it? I really like her work though, it had an amazing subtlety to it that took everybody a great long while to really appreciate. I can never figure out why cuz it's really quite engrossing and it has an understated poetry to it, the writing that is, her narrative voice is/was really pretty fuckin' singular. I think she was ahead of her times actually, shes a lot more rated now than she was in her day.Although, yes, I understand that 90% of the thing for a lot of yous (girls/ladies) is the fact that you fancy the idea of Mr D'arcy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GivenToFly Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Finally found accommodation. It's not perfect, not by far, but it'll do and it's temporary and it's all I can afford. Near Archway station on the Northern Line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
