Real England

plus it is right by london fields of martin amis fame

point of order, dear old Parting Anus did not actually set any of the eponymous book in the area of Hackney or London Fields itself, the action taking place entirely in Notting Hill and environs.

Basically a 'flick through the A-Z looking for a title' job.

lol i would not want to be mistaken for someone who has actually read a book by that fool

(tho in fact i did read "other people" the very first week i moved to london, in 1983: it is garbage)

good point, devastating self-own by me there

oh ffs why did i have to read that?

at least this little nugget made me giggle!

"After all, the Attlee government executed people – even innocent people like Timothy Evans. If such judicial killing was good enough for Clem then it is about time we returned to the Spirit of 45 and got the gallows going."

is Meagher real? i can't even understand the tone there

the author of this bit was (nominative determinism ahoy!) someone called Dean Quick !

His sense of pain was working overtime!

'Tis the season

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2016/nov/21/bakewell-winter-wonderland-labelled-disgusting-mud-bath

This is going to happen every single year now eh

is there such a thing as a “winter wonderland” that is actually really good and heartily enjoyed by every one of its patrons, or are they uniformly forlorn rip-offs? if it's the latter then you'd think people would have twigged by now.

the south bank's german-style xmas market is a rip-off but a fairly lovely one. iirc leeds of all places had a decent one too

but anything that isn't german-style is fairly doomed, yeah

it would be sad if someone went to one of these wonderlands hoping to see some realness/children crying in a muddy field etc, but when they got there it was really charming and magical

lol

And visitors to a Christmas lights show and winter wonderland-themed event at Woburn Abbey in Bedfordshire last year demanded their money back when they encountered melting ice sculptures, an effigy burned in a wheelchair and 90-minute queues.

Say what now?

http://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/news/gritty-mcgritface-definitely-not-kp86z6dcd I can think of another name for this.

adolf gritler ftw

Auschgritz, Gritoris, Gary Gritter all not doing too well I believe

Ex-wife of multi-millionaire: I'm too scared to live outside Kensington

kinda feeling her tbh... even among gilded environs kensington inner sanctum is an afterlife unto itself, not quite heaven perhaps but the appropriately opiated side of purgatory. have a heart your honour

that being said north kensington's dominion stretches ever further according to local estate agents (chestertons haunted by g.k i'm guessing) so maybe plonk her on mozart estate
