[London-centric] Flatmate wanted.
We were expecting a new flatmate to move in this weekend, but she's really rudely pulled out at the last minute, thus we're a bit stuck.
It's a nice flat in Hackney, and we're nice people...
If anyone needs somewhere to live/knows anyone who needs somewhere to live/etc. please let me know. Please.
moker
Theo?
Daniel?
Does my name need to be mentioned
every time some mentions meths?
We were talking about meths
not moker weren't we?
I'm confused.
Meth smoker?
Sorry Fiona, this isn't helping is it?
No.
I need someone to vouch for my niceness. And the niceness of my flat.
Your nice
Your flat could well be a scumhole though. I've not seen it. It's in Hackney, the poorest borough in London, so it may be on a losing start...
there are more people
living in hackney
than in reykjavik
icelandfact
are they poorer?
i want more icelandfacts.
They'll be richer
:D
her nice what?
flat?
Erm. I have no idea. I either fucked up or had a totally different sentence in mind at the beginning to at the end.
Either is actually possible given how fucked my mind is.
Like a sieve? No, more like a hoop on a stick.
Fiona is very nice
and the flat is lovely
will that do?
^^By the way
I've never met Fiona or her flat, so I could be very very wrong about both statements.
I am nice.
And I do have a nice flat.
she is
and she must have a nice flat because she lives in it.
^ POTD
Fiona's lovely
and sharp. And she told me her flat and her housemate were lovely before she wanted someone to move in, therefore it must be true.
Hackney's the best borough in London, WORD.
I'm looking to move to London
soon. Not sure where abouts I'll be living though. Where is Hackney>
East London, inner city
It's a bit downtrodden but exciting to live in.
thanks.
does that mean it's cheaper?
Should do
depends on where you are.
You can pretty much guarantee these guys are wasting their time:

HAHAHAHAHAH!
some parts are.
other parts (the ones without too much gun crime, usually) are "dead trendy" and that tends to push the price up.
'dead'
!!
...
It means what you save in rent, you'll pay in insurance.
third circle of hell
i mean inner-ish north-ish east-ish.
It's good for buses!
That's all you need know.
I'm not that keen on bus spotting really.
it's where all the cool kids live
that's all you need to know.
Yep, tis true
Accidental, Fiona, Bobby George, Brainers & Me PLUS all of our lovely friends!
You're so wrong
South of the river is where it's at. We have...shops...and...erm...overland trains...and...well that's it actually.
We have both those things too.
SO THERE.
Yeah
Well do they film the Richard & Judy show up the road from your house? And do Richard & Judy then go to your local curry house for dinner, which is also where Steve Lamacq sometimes goes because he lives close by?
DIDN'T THINK SO
I prefer Tower Hamlets
Bow > Clapton
this = most true thing in whole thread
:(
bowie > cream
?!
that too
it's really odd, but whenever i go somewhere now i compare it to Bow and Bow wins EVERY TIME.
The Rose & Crown pub on Bromley High Street is my favourite place ever.
I get upset when I remember I don't live in Bow anymore
aww
sad, and yet quite hilarious at the same time.
mmm, schadenfreude.
if i come and burn some
of the cars on your street, will it make you feel better?
and
battersea power station.
which converts people into cybermen.
But not me, Sophie, Adie or Crablin
so IN YOUR SMILING CRAZY FACE, lady!
but
you can get a bus from OUTSIDE MY FRONT DOOR to Fiona's flat. So hurrah.
Yeah but it's better
if you're getting OFF that bus on your way back from somewhere cool like Camden or the West End, surely? ;-)
Cool
the West End?! Tut tut noises...
And Camden's not cool actually, it's a scuzzhole of filth, it is fun tho.
and Hackney is... what?
Gorgeous
obviously
Yeeeeahh.... Right....
:-D
gorgeous

LOL ^
It's MOT'd with a full service history.
Not sure what your point is, Stu.
it looks more
reliable than a bendy bus.
