Efesters from London

[sifi]

London. A hive of scum and villainy. Pogo must be cautious.

Just got a phone interview to steal one of those job things you have going there as well! Now, next on the list of things to steal...You say your girlfriend stays in Tottenha...... :-p

I've already warned her if she see any Scottish cowboys with a fried mars bar in one hand and a stolen TV in the other mouthing off about fascists near Tottenham to just run away.

Got my room in the flat, area seems quite cool and a short walk from Seven Sisters tube station. Not met all my flatmates yet but they seem cool.

Done a bit of adventuring with one of my London pals so will have to start the job search mega now as she's back at work. Looked at a lot of cool meet ups and couchsurfing groups and stuff! Having a good time! Just a short message as I knew you'd all be worried how I was getting on! :-p

have you been to richmond yet? it's amazing there apparently......

[russycarps]

amazing...?

on a sunny day, and you just want to go for a walk, possibly near the river, there are few better places to go (in London - or near, even though it's on the tube... <sigh> )

(imo)

Even though the walk along the riverside at Greenwich past the old royal naval college is much nicer of course......

[russycarps]

the new posh hotel? Isnt that going to be the top floors of the shard by london bridge? I'm not 100% sure.

I make you right about the river walks. I love the canal walks too. I find seeing how magnificent the backs and gardens of the houses that back on to the canal are fascinating, especially as from the front they often dont look like anything special at all really. Sigh, I do miss living north of the river sometimes I must confess.

As for swimming in the river - what madness is this?!

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

Isn't there a high risk of getting Well's disease by swimming in the river?

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

not sure.. I was hot, the water looked lovely, I'd been reading about how relatively clean the Thames had become (I think it was little more towards Twickenham.. Eel Pie Island-ish). I don't do it anymore as far down the river as London, but at least a couple of times a year in the summer we head out west along the river and have a swim. Not sure if I 'should' or not

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

absolutely..ta

and yes, I always keep my mouth shut

I used to swim in the sea in Brighton where the sewage outlet wasn't far away... and I remember on my first holiday in Cornwall there was a sewage outlet pretty much on the beach

not that that makes anything any better...!

[Yoghurt on a Stick]

is this where we link with the 'personal profile' thread...?

[russycarps]

hang on, what is this shangri la you speak of? I thought you meant the posh new hotel thats going in the shard building...

[eFestivals]

noo.. Shangri-la, of Glastonbury fame, is having a 'thing' in London

http://www.efestivals.co.uk/news/11/111207c.shtml

I wonder if it's still happening?

yup, it appears to be. Bloc fest is one of the things happening there, and we had a press release about that recently which was still giving that location. I guess there's no reason to hear anything more about the site itself until it's all set up and ready for action.
