I'll probably die due to some bizzarre accident at home, like electrocuting myself on my playstation 15 at the age of 75.

Either way, my epitaph will say that i died trying to save to babies from the clutches of a wild bear....

Yes, in Greenwich District Hospital, which no longer exists.

I was born in Australia, and came to London at about the age of five. I grew up in East London (Woodford/Ilford) and Cornwall, then moved back to London for my mid to late teens. I moved out to the wilds of Essex (Maldon/Chelmsford) for far too long, and now I'm living in Central London, a stone's-throw from Slimelight.

[empty_cloud]

Started out in camberley (boredom!!) then lived in Kent for university and spent a year living in small town texas-an intersting experience!!

After afew very long months living in Croydon I am now living in Islington with Crash-he puts up with me somehow-must be love!!!

[Flux]

Born & raised in Romford, Essex. Moved to Stoke Newington a few years back, but it was a short lived thang as the flat I was in was determined to kill me! (not sure what it was exactly, but something there made it very hard for me to breathe and so was forced to move out!)

Am back in Romford again now.

Born in Helsinki, Finland. Lived also in a few other places in Finland before coming over to London in last September. If anyhow possible to avoid, won't be going back to live in Finland, but I might end up moving somewhere else from London if I ever get bored of it, but that's prolly years away from now.

Actually it’s the people that you so eloquently call “scene whores” that make London the greatest city in the world (you would be surprised how many of the worlds major cities I have visited.) I would disrespectfully suggest that if you are tired of the varied nightlife and interesting people, which/who can be found all over this city (if only you are willing to take the time to look) and you have the audacity and downright narrow mindedness to label anyone who enjoys living in the capital (including myself) as nonce’s, pigs or wannabee's we are all better off if provincial hicks like you don’t live in London.
P.S. BIG CIGARS eh…. What are you compensating for??????????
**Wiggles little finger in suggestive manner**

[FONT="Book Antiqua"][SIZE="5"]Actually it’s the people that you so eloquently call “scene whores” that make London the greatest city in the world (you would be surprised how many of the worlds major cities I have visited.)

You will find I'm probably more travelled than most on this board,And have seen Virtually every Major city on this planet!!!I still travel to the big smoke
At least three times a month due to family!!And slimelight being one of my favourite haunts I know many interesting people thanks very much(Graced torture garden and clubs like the kitkat in the beginning)I have seen things in the city that would curdle your blood!!!!People like you come and go.OR you bitch when Some of the London chav element Beats the crap out of you for being sooo alternative!!As far as London being the most interesting city in the world nah I think Moscow shits all over itAs does barcelona or Amsterdam!!!As for my big cigars Are you insinuating something????I'm quite secure in my sexuality are you!!!
Yeah working in the business I have seen loads of scene whores actually!!!
Walk through camden on a saturday you will see loads of pigs!!
Yeah lots of nonces!! The amount of young girls I have seen And had to help because some Twat has spiked their drink with the wonder drug rohypnol!!!

LOL! you both said WIGGLE, hee hee!

she was... i quoted in order to add to it.

[Wraith Spider]

First sorry about the font size I got a bit carried away.
DerOberst, what makes you so special that you can say you know everything there is to know about London and every other major city in the world (other than being a senior member on this site that is.)
Moscow is a very interesting city I agree as is Amsterdam but for variety and complexity of culture London “shits” on anything and everything else I have ever experienced.
Now I am not saying that I have seen “Virtually every Major city on this planet” I am not an omnipotent god like Senior Member DerOberst all I am saying is within my obviously inadequate human experience I have never been to a more amazing complex lively and friendly city.
Once again sorry about the font wont happen again.

[QUOTE]
I'm not special at all far from it!!!If you read my post I was tearing at the bad
aspects of life in london!!Yep its a very diverse city and I have met some real characters there!!Why do you think I moved there in the first place!!!!
When I lived in epsom the height of my weekend would be the club life and to trawl areas of notting hill gate etc!I loved it so much I moved to tavistock square next door to the old jewish museum!!Unfortunately I also met some real lowlife vermin who's sole aim was to either take advantage or be with people they could be seen with!!!And why do you think I dont live In the smoke ITS TOO BLOODY EXPENSIVE!!!!!Not because I hate everybody there
in fact it would make my life and snowwys a whole lot easier!!!Again Me thinks you have taken my post a bit too seriously!

Now get back to the topic PLEASE ladies. :P

[ecclecticbb]

I think DerOberst is very right in what he says, whether we like it or not.

And I do not think London is a friendly City at all. Apart from the fact that people help you carry your luggage up the stairs in the underground.

It is just a big City and as such, diverse and you will certainly find the characters DerOberst defines.

DerOberst is a Senior Member on this forum cos he has posted a certain amount of posts. And he is an extremely pleasant person to talk to(Yes, sometimes I do the normal talk at Slime with people from Slimelight) and also very interesting.

I would listen to his opinion any time because even if I may not agree, it is interesting and certainly valuable.

[Antagonist]

I pretty much have to agree with DerOberst on this.

London is certainly an amazing place, whenever I travel there for Slimelight or work or whatever, I always try to see as much of it's life as possible. However, there are insular people who refuse to travel beyond its borders for fear that everywhere else is dull by comparison.

This self-righteousness is so laughable from a sensible distance. Just to quote a sad little man I used to consider a friend "What do you do, just mope around in Milton Keynes...". He thought he was more interesting just because he lives in Central London.

I digress... I lived pretty central for 6 years. I loved it, London is my spiritual home (although I'm not particularly well-travelled) but while the weekends can be amazing, the monday to friday can be a little tougher. Crowds and crowds of strangers can be intimidating... I'll never be able to communicate exactly why I got freaked out and knew I had to leave. But despite considering myself pretty level-headed (I regularly walked across whitechapel at night, and never even found a reason to be scared.) the pace of life of a big city is not good for everyone.

All the whores, nonces etc survive pretty much everywhere, due to their inability to give a damn. If anyone stays in London for more than a few years and keeps their sense of humour and some moral fibre, then good luck to you.

[Wraith Spider]

Sorry if I took things a little too seriously but your first post,
“Probably move away again!! But not London as the place is full of nonces, pigs, wannabee's and scene whores!!!!”
Sounded to me like some one who denounces anyone who lives “in the smoke” as “nonces, pigs, wannabee's and scene whores!!!!” if that is not the case then I forthwith retract my argument.

Nope that was not my intention(probably the way I wrote what I did doh!)
I love the fair city I love its diverse counter culture mot of my friends are londoners or people who live there!!!I was merely saying peronally I have met a lot errm deperate people that Is all!!!!:)

[SP]

I've been here a fair while now, but my rent is fantastically cheap for where I live ... just down the road from Slime ... lucky I guess! I love this crazy town! There's always something to do, even in the dead of night on a Tuesday! Its true that you can find some scum-bags, but after a while, avoiding such urchins becomes instinctive.

[Byakhiam]

Surely there might be more interesting places than London about, but I've yet to see one.

On the other hand, how can you really appreciate the conveniences and richness of the place, if you don't occasionally stride into the "Here and There Be Dragons" regions outside it? :D

Was born in Croydon, SE London to South African father and English/Scottish mother in 1971. Moved to Jo'burg, South Africa in 1975 and then to Mauritius in 1980. Moved back to Croydon in 1981. Joined armed forces and moved to Plymouth in 1988...hated it with a vengeance and moved back to sunny, happy Croydon in 1989...lived in London ever since.

London. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. ;)

[alicia_ahh]

hmm... i was born in a scuzzy-looking hospital in orsett village, sahf essex in 1980 & lived in nearby grays thurrock for the next 12 years before moving to liverpool, where both my parents are from.

i bounced between liverpool & manchester throughout the 90s on my lonesome (i was independent from a very young age, & manchester had a better goth scene at that point), then moved to chester for 6 months, back to liverpool & then buggered of to california for work purposes for a short while before moving down to london in '03.

six months or so after that i buggered off to live in berlin, then sloped back to london in late '04 & i've been living in a shoebox just off camden high street ever since.:)

sheesh, I remember that beach in that area there.
and yeah, Wollongong's not big ;)
got family near Sidney, so been around there a little.

Been to every continent apart from America (from Canada down to Argentina, nowhere there yet), so, am I well travelled? :P (adds something to that topic...)

I'm from Moers, Germany, western border of Ruhrgebiet (Ruhrgebiet ueber alles), has a great scene, quite big, lots of clubs, basically I could go out for party wednesday to sunday, not sure if there was something mondays/tuesdays, here I only have slimelight :| (but SL beats every club in Ruhrgebiet). and you also get lots of scene-whores there...
Born and lived there 23.5 years, then decided to lose my brain and move to London ;)
Father German, mother from RSA, so I'm used to it if people ask me if I'm German or South African, as they say I have either accent (no idea though, tbh)

[Zesty]

Born in 1986 in some hospital in Kent, not sure on the details. Parents divorced and moved to Derbyshire when I was still a mini-Zesty. Moved back down south to Suffolk around 96ish then slightly further down too Essex in 2000, and still stuck here with no forseeable escape :(

I will also add that this thread is making me feel exceptionally young right now.
