From the Archive - "I know we come across as dorks": catching up with Dananananaykroyd
It's a mixture of regionalism and ignorance.
Did James ever come good on his ambition to have his photo taken at Grange Hill station holding a sausage on a fork?
it's only
about 15 minutes down the central line from me
i've never made the pilgrimage
No
but that is a plan. Difficult though as sureely you would need the fork to come flying in?
Why not change the name, Grange Hill is Grange Hill. It is Landahn with Landahn youths.
Grange Hill was filmed in Borehamwood first
they have filmed in my mum and dads shop before. That doesn't make me cool in the slightest.
Been there
Accidentally ended up there when I got on a random bus looking for a bank. It wasn't really all that much to write home about. Pretty much everything to the north and east of Walthamstow is relentlessly depressing
Good grief
It's you.
it is him
and he's not actually 25, the fraud
Well
My real name's not actually "Billion-Dollar Burning Coffin", so I'm not going to sdtart judging others for lying on the internet.
Have tried
updating my profile several times, but it insists I am still 25.
I thought you were supposed to be good at the internet
Murdoch's gonna fire your ass.
I doubt Rupes will be on here
you never know though
I also
have this new username, under which I am a right troll cunt
it suits you as you are a bum lord
i like it
the picture is good too
Christ.
Can't you restrain your trolling to the Sun's boards? Or is it developing into a full-blown obsession? I did tell you to be careful about taking your work home with you.
Yes
I've been to every station on the tube map
have you really?
Yes
I did it over a period of a week in my second year at university. It started with an ambition to go to every single stop on the east london line, so I thought, why stop there
*prepares list of reasons*
I actually want to do that
was it gratifying?
would you recommend it?
any gems amongst the less well-known outposts of the tube network?
It was yes
But I'm obsessed with the tube.
Most of the outlying parts are rubbish and really neglected. Each line has its own cool style, but as stations get renovated these aren't being kept and they're all just turning into the same station.
Stations I like:-
Hillingdon (I lived here for 18 years, it's special)
Canary Wharf (it's like the future!)
Bank (it's like a mini maze!)
Westminster (it's like there was a nuclear war and we all have to live underground)
White City (BBC! And I also admire how drivers just brazenly stop here for hours at a time)
Bad stations:-
Earl's Court
Slone Square
Rotherhithe
Balham
Ruislip Manor
Westmin
Where's Westmin?
I've not been through Canary Wharf station proper, but I got the DLR up from Cutty Sark along that branch the other day. It's quite cool, and the nearest I've come yet to feeling like a monorail driver.
Bank is shit though.
I don't know, I got the urge to write Westminster
the DLR is like amazing, unless you have to use it every day, in which case I imagine it's rubbish
It was a Saturday afternoon
and thus, not the vision of commuter hell I imagine it becomes every weekday morning
Bit mostly it's like being on a really slow rollercoaster
into what people in the 60s thought the future would look like
I like the DLR
especially at night going through the big buildings sat at the front pretending to drive, like a spakk
I agree with most of your good stations. I would add in Baker Street to the bad ones because every fucking time I go through there I end up with Baker Street saxophone line in my head for 3 days.
I realise I have never been beyond zone 3 on the tube, I need to rectify this. I want to go to Mudchute and Gallion's reach.
mudchute is zone 2
aah
thanks. I like the name
Was there the other
week strangely enough.
There's not a lot there.
That is all.
my office
is about 100 metres from the actual grange hill school. I see it everyday when i go down the drive to work.
Its surreal. Also the corridor downstairs where the toilets are is where they film many of the 'corridor' scenes.
