I was given first refusal on a flat here earlier this year. There was PISS IN THE LIFT and I just knew that I’d be dead of an overdose within a year so it was a BIG FAT NO THANKS

Also Roehampton is UTTERLY VILE. The person showing me the flat made a big deal about NICE PLACES NEARBY which says it all. They sure as fuck weren’t THERE

Urgh that may be the one where I had to change night buses on my way back from Kingston once. I thought I was going to get STABBED ANY SECOND. Thankfully all the knifey types must have been tucked up in bed by 1am on a Tuesday or whatever it was :)

I never lived in any of those blocks personally (I grew up in the terraces on the right of that photo), but my nan did, and both my brother and sister went on to live in them.

I have to say, compared to most private flats and very definitely recent builds, the council ones are usually far better designed and more spacious. Once you get behind your front door (and if you can ignore the screams and chain saws) the flats have actually been rather nice.

Oh the Roehampton flat was fine within itself and quite ROOMY but the area? NO

And of a CERTAIN VINTAGE. I’m not sure what it is about Robert Dyas which attracts the more mature gays but I imagine it’s something about buying things which are useful and have a purpose in reaction to years spent offering up oneself as a vessel :tongueout:
 
Robert Dyas is so normally so over priced. But a FOUR POUND BROOM! We really do live in UNPRECEDENTED TIMES.

Robert Dyas invariably makes me wistful for a good old fashioned ironmongers. And then head across to Wilko instead.
 
I bought cheap aldi merlot yesterday. I am regretting that. It's not making my bath enjoyable :(
 
Anyway!!

Eileen has been visiting some lovely island sites. I'm still sad I didn't get to meet him, and that Mandy did!

Does he still post on here?
