Travel

Oyster card = money drain. Just sayin'.

Yeah I'd get the Piccadilly line in Hounslow, and the green one (Central?) in Richmond. They both went to the posh areas in Central London. To commute to and from work, I used Southwest Trains, and that was much trickier...

I use to live in hounslow for couple of months , it is a good area since it is near the heathrow airport . I was talking about trains which go to Croyden , Streathem e.t.c.. these are southern london areas or even the place where i am living now . Watford , The overground's are good but they cost you way too much and undergrounds are shit .

for example during the rain , water pours out of the ceiling of streathem station and plus when ever there is rain forget about getting to work on time .

 

[Pete]

Hounslow is not a good area bro...Twickenham!

 

[Mr.Mayhem]

i never been to Twickenham so i dont know . If you compare Hounslow to areas like croyden , its actually way better . But the best place i've lived untill now is holborn even though it is fucking expensive but it is central london baby ! I lived with my friend for couple of weeks and smoked weed everyday . It was great .

Never been out of Australia but I've been to most places in Australia such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Gold Coast. Haven't been to Darwin, Tasmania or Canberra.

I probably travel 5 or so times a year by plane and if you count return, 10 flights all up.

Hoping to go to America in 2014.

 

[Pete]

DUDE you lived in Holborn?! Poshposhposhposhposh.

I'm going to get rich enough to get a house in Holland Park someday Or maybe Gloucester Road.

My friend used to live in Elephant and Castle, it's apparently pretty bad. For me, the scariest part of London I've been to was Lambeth and Borough. Load of chavvy council-flats type blocks there. My step definitely got quicker going through there, lol. But then there's a really nice Starbucks at the end of it, across from Borough tube station.

 

[Mr.Mayhem]

HAAHAHH i know holborn is awesome area . Everything is in walking distance + you can get weed easily . even thought i lived with my friend for couple of weeks , it was awesome . I thought Elphant and Castle was a good area , i pass by the underground station every day . The station looks good . Dude try to go to southampton , in between southampton and Holborn there are haunted stations lol . You hardly see 2-3 people over there and even the bulbs are broken lol . I cant remeber the name but over there an incident happen , probably some guys raped or grouped a girl .

One thing I like/dislike about Holborn: lots of posh hot milfs, but none pay attention to you (if you're an average looking/skinny/nerdish guy like me, at least )

Also, first time I went to London, I was like :O I'd never seen so many Porsches and Mercedes per square mile, LOL. This was up around Portobello Road, I think...in the posh part of town anyway. Me and my friends took the "poor man's walking tour", i.e. we just walked around in the South Bank, Westminster, around Buckingham Palace, etc... and barely spent any money at all outside of shopping for souvenirs. As a "local", you kind of get a different perspective, LOL.

hahah thats what i do too man "poor man's walking tour" i just blaze and walk with my pals . As for girls , you can find alot of sluts on the roads , who try to presuade you to message on a number to save a fucking tiger who will probably die anyway . You can easily hit on them and most of them are hotties or if you cant hold your hormones , there are always those massage places . Which are my favourite . But be carefull , they might rob the fuck out of you .

But the thing is if you wanna live in london , you need to be rich as fuck .You dont even realise how money disappears.
I usually hate shopping so i hardly buy anything + i dont have enough money and also i am not a dumbass to spend money to buy "branded" clothes or shoes which are no better than the ordinary clothes i wear .

But since my friend is kinda rich ( probably sells weed or drugs lol ) so yeah i kinda enjoy sometimes living in central london.

Dude what do you work ?

 

[Irish Mark]

Lol. I used to work in Radio in Ireland. I bought a house, rented it out and started travelling. The rent money is going into an Irish "rainy day" account.

- Travelled around Europe with mates after college - Holland, Spain, France, Germany & Italy.

- Moved to Toronto, worked a few random jobs, saved a shit load then travelled around Canada. Was Awesome!!! Met Brad Pitt, Billy Connolly (bought him a pint), Bill Baily, Jim Jefferies, Edge, CM Punk and got in an argument with Hugh Jackman lol.

- Moved to Boston, worked in an Irish Bar, served & chatted to Larry Bird, John Cena (he's actually cool in real life), Mark Whalberg and Colin Farrell. Again, saved up and travelled around. Loved Chicago, New York & Miami. Hated LA and Texas.

- Malaysia was just a 2 day stop off. Didn't leave Kuala Lumpur.

- Australia was class, lived there for a year. Met Natalie Portman, Nicole Sherzinger and Ed Norton.

- New Zealand was boring to live & work in but had a great road trip. Met Stephen Fry, Conrad Smith & Billy Connolly (again).

- Dubai was too hot and expensive, but an enjoyable 3 days.

- Japan might not be for me, hard to live in a place where u dont speak the lingo. My yellow fever is in overdrive though lolz.

A-fucking-greed. I think I said that earlier in this topic. i know how MOST of it used to disappear, though - fucking transportation system :ARN:

As for clothes, I only shop at Primark, pretty much. And I generally only use franchises that exist outside of London and have fixed prices, i.e. Subway, KFC, Peacocks, etc... Also, I'm a tightwad.

The kind of girls you mentioned are not my speed (I suppose I'm way older than you, though - at your age I might have liked them). I tend to flirt easily (naturally), but I'm too goofy to get phone numbers, etc. most of the time. I have surprised myself on occasion, though Also, I don't get drunk (anymore) or stoned.
