I just got a job in London so I will be looking be move there later this year. I am commuting from Warwick at the moment which takes 1hr 20m to get into Marylebone. I am working in Shoreditch.
What are the nicer places to live nearby that aren't a billion pounds? Will be looking for a 3 bedroom house. And no, I am not expecting to live in Soho or anywhere like that, more like Dagenham distance etc. Something up to an hour is fine really.
Any recommendations?

Calcutta cup! Come on England!
It'll be interesting to see how Wales do. I have ticket for the England vs Wales game at Twickenham via the bank, I just don't want to go and watch England lose as the Welsh are always really fired up, all I heard for three years at university was "as long as we beat the English".

BBC1?
My old school used to take the first years on a geography trip to Talybont. It was a hideous peach coloured building.

Making pizza, then chilling, too tired to go out, I worked 65h this week, and I might have to go in tomorrow as well. D:
Well, it's ten past seven, I'm hammered, my dealer is messing me around and I haven't hit the actual party yet. Not only that, but I'm 20 minutes away from the party and the missus just texted to say I'm dead if I'm not there in ten.
I fucking love Fridays

Fuck yeah. Please don't hold grudges though, the decisions were made before most of us were born (or politically active).

I'm getting very stoned and watching tv with the missus. Yay friday!!
Getting your excuse in early eh?
Damned right.
Just hit the party, late. Funny how the only person that cares is my missus. She sees me all the fucking time, why should she care?
Oh well, happy Friday my UK brethren.
Edit: Jedeye, I'm jealous as fuck. Fancy swapping for a night in a comedy club with a pissed off missus?
Edit edit: missus now drunk, dealer dropped off an arfur, all is well with the world. Now planning my early hours Gran Turismo session.
I saw The Iron Lady. It's a bit of an odd film, because you're probably not going to change your opinion of Thatcher from watching it. I think she was one of the worst PMs of the century, but at the end I just felt pity for an old woman with dementia. Meryl Streep was amazing, the direction was kind of crap though.
It spent far too much time on her dementia and not enough on her as an actual politician.
Streep was very, very good though. The only redeeming thing it had.

Haven't seen it yet but, if you don't mind me asking, were you around at the time?
it was a frustrating film because there's lots of good acting talent for the director to toy with and plenty of interesting stuff to cover with regard to thatcher, but it spreads itself so thin especially with such a short running time and ends up being incredibly shallow with massive events like the falklands or the miners strikes just rushed through as if they have no consequences for the characters. the only thing that's given any meaning is the later dementia and it's a bit one note and false in its ending. could do with a more focused direction and better writing - some of thatcher's dialogue in the flashbacks is dreadful.

Aye that's what the website has been telling me as well. Quite shocking they can't even get one in Zone 1/2. Didn't someone just get murdered in Wood Green? Might be avoiding that for now
Just thought I might be able to use it online >_< much safer.Meryl Streep's face is reaaallyyy starting to piss me off.
Just drove from mine and my GF's flat in York to my parents in Llandudno for the weekend. Goin' on a nice walk around snowy Snowdon with the parents tomorrow while my GF stays at home and does her essay ;p.
At the moment just chilling out having some wine and beer with my parents and the missus (and the cat). It's all very 1950's nuclear family up in this biatch. (except with an asian girl)

Yeah, someone was shot by Turnpike Lane station. Wood Green is a shithole that's best avoided unless necessary, although Hala on Green Lanes is worth a visit if you like grilled meats/Mediterranean food. The £14 platter is usually more than enough for two people and is tasty as fuck.

Nothing in London yet, but the weather says it will arrive at 10pm. Absolutely freezing conditions though. I'm going to leave work early.
