I do
I don't, but I nearly do. I might do, but don't know if it counts.

I'm meant to be moving
into a flat there apparently, but not yet.
So no, but maybe. Possibly yes.
I do
Let's have cheap bitter in the Salmon and Ball at 10am on a Saturday!
*a MASSIVE plate of food
*Nicos

The Chinese take away is very nice
not Noodle King - That's rough.

Paul Adolphe.
He used to any way. But that was about 7 years ago.
Really?
How the hell do you know that? And why on earth would you remember it now?
I remember he was
in the office after a game had been postponed whilst Steve and I were in there and Graham was talking to him. Ross Pickett gave him a lift to the station.
I have to say
remembering that so many years later is on a Dave Ballheimer level of sadness!
There is one crucial difference
though... My story isn't full of historical innaccuracies. Plus if I'm wrong there is room for me to be persuaded otherwise.
:D
yeah!
me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i live opposite the chest hospital. wanna come over? ;)?
so does my friend
cleland house. flats. there was a fight outside there on saturday, did you see it? well did you? it was a rubbish fight.
no
! how did i miss that? i was in all night. oh hang on, no, saturday night i was out until half 3am.
YOU CRAZY
thanks
i was going to say that myself. SATURDAY I WAS OUT UNTIL HALF THREE AY EMM!!! THAT IS REALLY LATE YOU GUYS! AND EVEN BETTER I DIDN'T SLEEP UNTIL EIGHT! THEN I WOKE UP AT 4PM!! FUCKING HELL I'M CRAZY
well you didn't actually miss much
two 'artists' threw some pathetic punches and their friends got involved and made it soooo much worse by faffing them.
it was just by the big gates to victoria park and i was outside smoking throughout. for useless information value.
i like the approach tavern a lot. fact.
wow
you stand outside near where i live smoking? you sounds likes my kinda guy. wanna date?
i prefer a plum
but i'll take anything.
but yeah yeah yeah i just stand outside random speciality hospitals and chug away. next week i am in chiswick, smoking 40 John Players outside the front of the Eye Hospital.
We saw someone breaking out of the chest hospital the other day
Also all their lights flicker and it looks haunted
jesus
that doesn't sound nice. do you live on the road where the bus terminates?
I don't think so
I don't see any buses go by
what road do you live on?
sarah thinks we live really near eachother.
YOU DO
whassur postcode
i'm not telling
i'm more likely to get stalkers than he is. hang on i'll tell in one second let me remove my picture from my profile.
e2 9pt
you live really close
also, you totally don't live opposite the hospital!
opposite then left then it's the first house on that terrace, yes
stop telling everyone where you live claire
you live
basically next door to my ex girlfriend, she lived on the cranbrook estate
:-O!!!
I;'-)
winking with a bow in my hair whilst crying, yet smiling
BIGUPYERCHESTHOSPITAL!
just outside
the west border where it meets Shoreditch. But more Shoreditch really.
Are you my flatmate?
quite possibly
if so, plz stop clogging up the shower drain with your moulting pubic hair.
I don't
but I nearly do too.
Nearly, in Bow just off Roman Road.
Number 8 massive, innit. I love waiting for it in the pissing rain, outside Bethnal Green station, it's ace.
Me too!
Hello neighbour :)
Howdy!
Bow's well better than Bethnal Green. I can't back this up with facts. Other than it has some of the scariest greasy spoons in East London (surely).
I found the best greasy spoon there EVER
the other week. I'll PM you the name after I go past it later.
But yeah, it's pretty great :)
Cool.
There's one near my flat that does amazing, greasy, cholesterol-soaked, buttered hash brown sausage and egg rolls, but it's way too scary to experience when hungover.
The Turkish one on the corner of Roman Road Market ftw!
i love that one
i went there the morning after i moved in. best.omelette.ever
What you need is
the Delight Cafe, opposite Elliot Leigh (almost opposite that weird flooring/lighting shop).
Best cooked breakfast I've ever had in a greasy spoon.
<3
oh no THAT'S where i ate!
elliot leigh = my estate agent. right bunch of wankers as well.
OH MAN
That's the one, I think! It's literally about 50 steps from my house.
Last time I was in there one of the waiters tried to kick off with a customer.
Good breakfast rolls, tho. Mmm, grease.
number 8 <3 <3 <3
celebrities i've seen on the number 8:
stealthy
mirrilondon
myself in the window when it's dark and it reflects.
i love the number 8 so much.
i saw max gogarty on the 134 once
^ a lie.
8 ftw
I get off at that strange little estate agents that looks like a public toilet
by the silly Redchurch Bar
is that further down than me?
I get off at Bonner street. two stops after Bethnal Green roundabout. Why have I started capitalising? Stupid work.
HAHA.
Bonner Street.
you laughing about that was a lowlight
It's at the top of
Brick Lane
just by all the cunts!
oh yeah! that does look like a toilet!
i was stood at that bus stop once. a homeless man offered to make my name out of wire. i went there with wrightylew and his friend on saturday as well. they were all like "why are we getting a bus they're so stupid they take ages to come". they must have thought they were still in burnley. wankers.
OHMYGOSH EAST LONDON
woah
^ jealous
i know
i wish i had more Real Culture where i live :(
HEY YOU GUYS YOU KNOW THAT REALLY SHIT VENUE?
NO, NOT KOKO, THE FORUM! YEAH THAT ONE! I LIVE NEAR IT!!!!!!!
AND i've only been there once
in the last three years.
I used to.
But I moved out on Monday morning. It just didn't do it for me.
liar
you loved it. you didn't want to leave. you were all like "wow, the red line!" and "wow, you have squirrels" and "wow, i love london this is the best weekend of my life"
True.
What impressed me about the squirrel was the fact it was surviving in a place where the nearest slice of countryside was about fifty miles away.
The best things about Bethnal Green were:
Sugar Love Terrace
Rape Alley
That lovely street with the war memorial
Claire
Poppy
Lottie
Ollie
Henry
I also forgot:
The Gaylord
what did I ever do to you?
it's called sugar loaf walk
and you didn't even meet poppy! and lottie ollie and henry don't even exist!
things i miss about your absence in bethnal green:
"thing-geh"
reasons i'm glad you're gone:
having the piss taken out of my accent
having the piss taken out of my face
lack of daniel
you call dinner 'tea'
you call tea 'brew'
you call trousers 'pants'
you call me 'a cunt'
To be fair he's right about 3 of the last 4 statements
what did i ever do to you?
Argue against the truth
Aside from that, nowt.
I miss it all.
It actually is probably the best thing I'll do for the forseeable future (unless you still wanna come for that meal in Burnley you were really looking forward to).
you do have a shit accent to be fair
who, you?
well seeing as your rang me at stupid o clock just to hear my voice
NO
that was wrightylew
suurrrreee it was
She's lying through her teeth.
Why would I be up at such a time, ringing fucktherave of all people?
because you love me?
Two best things about Bethnal Green, bar none:
BG WORKING MAN'S CLUB
NOODLE KING
Try and disagree!
Noodle king is filth
I always imagine the staff are saying "Wow they're still eating it!fuck me...Best cook some more"
you are massive wrong
^
when i got a bus back with that man the night i moved into my house and we went past noodle king he said "remember that claire. that is the best thing about bethnal green"
no + no
victoria park
me
museum gardens
me
me
me
me
me
I haven't tried noodle king yet.
I can't fucking wait. it's going to be sweet for me.
Make your choice from the pictures on the wall
Best strategy by far. You could end up with something very interesting otherwise.
i live 5mins away
cool huh?
I DO
Behind tescos. Classy.
I do...!
well..just off bethnal green road, technically tower hamlets, but its E2!
this is my 501st post...over 4 years that's pretty pathetic :(
i do
best bits... viccy park, the workers cafe on the good side of globe road, the cherry cafe opposite (and if ive got money) the pet shop owned by a boxer, the second hand book shop that opens sporadically, the florist, bethnal green working mens club, other stufff
that pet shop is amazing
the two birds are so brilliant.
I like that they let dogs
own their own pet shops there.
I do, i think.
At the top of cambridge heath rd, almost next to the oh-so-classy Metropolis, YEAH.
I think
more DiSsers live in Bethnal Green than any other smallish area.
I'll be living in Homerton for a few months soon
Its close and worse
