RichM yeah though Hackney is still easily one of the worst places in London for it, along with the Peckham-Camberwell-Brixton axis.

A few of my old classmates from secondary school bought flats round Hackney; can’t say I envied them it.

RichM

hugopal it’s all based on personal opinion, part of mine is based on some people at my work (finance industry) who earn a fortune and have a family who live there and love it. There are some very trendy restaurants, bars and pubs in the area to back up the million £+ properties there

But as per my previous post, it comes with lots of shit, such as yesterday’s shootings, but I’m sure that’s not unique to London. I’m guessing Berlin has trendy areas which are expensive but also edgy, a bit shit?

Hursty

Hipsters and gangsters, sounds like a mustard place to live

Hursty that’s Barnsley mate!

No such awfulness in Tooting, just a wonderful part of the world full of absolute legends.

Did you find that in a cracker? Best Christmas joke ever!

Smallman1

How’s Basingstoke treating you chief?!

ScottBailey

Smallman1 it’s not exactly the Kings Rd to be fair, but I’d take it over the aforementioned every time

Not in Mcr Rich, we have decent areas and shit areas. I can park the flatbed and fit a Jacuzzi on my plot

Yeah but the similar/equivalent types of areas in Berlin are at the lower side not quite as dodgy or crime-ridden in the same way, but at the upper end are not as refined or varied in terms of things like properties and restaurants.

Those parts of London feel more unequal in that the worse seems worse but the better seems better.

There are no multi-million town houses in those parts of Berlin, it’s all apartment buildings.

RichM

Mad_Cyril jacuzzi you say? Only the top bollocks have one of those bad boys

Don’t be so hard on yourself, it’s where all the winners live.

RichM mate’s mate can supply and install in the yard for less than a grand Rich

I don’t mind Hackney - a couple of mates that have lived there a long time - had a lot of great weekends there.

Bristol next year

Hursty

Dry-Tinder nice and close to me although I’ve never been clubbing in Bristol before, it doesn’t strike me as a great place for electronic music but I may be wrong

Along_the_Wire

Dry-Tinder Looks like a flyer from 1994 - definitely worth confirming

Along_the_Wire

Hursty You are wrong. Had some great nights there!

Tremenballs place for electronic music

Dry-Tinder

Hursty

It’s about as local as it gets for me.

Hursty Bristol has had a great scene since the early 90s

Dry-Tinder

Along_the_Wire ha ha that’s exactly what I thought when I saw it. I was a bit worried passing over the credit card details for the tickets.

erik

Along_the_Wire looks like the cover of one of those Introspective of House mixes

Dry-Tinder

Along_the_Wire

It’s the first time that they have played Bristol together since 1994

Hursty

Along_the_Wire cool, I’ll consider it however they will no doubt be playing in London that period so would prefer to use my pass more wisely
