I can only dream...

Can you smoke in this thread?

Places to avoid:

SheBu Walkie
Camden on the weekends
Oxford Street

Tell us about your dreams, then we'll act them out for you and let you know how they go. :)

The UK?;)

Hey Camden has some cool pubs you can chill out in... plus I walked past Noel Fielding of the Mighty Boosh there a couple of months back.

But the crowds are shit. And they shut the tube station after 3!!

The UK is going great para... next?

So go during the week.
Same pubs; better vibe

Have people visited Brick Lane? Cool markets and yum curry.

I had the worst curry I've ever eaten at the Camden markets. There is an awesome second-hand LP store there though.

I think I'll go check out Brick Lane and further east this weekend.

There's some great bars and clubs out that way too...

Do yourselves a favour and take the 106 from Finsbury Park station to Manor Rd or take the 73 direct to Stoke Newington Church Street and take a leisurely stroll through Abney Park cemetry. My favourite place in London.

Best London live venues:
The Luminaire
Union Chapel

Worst London live venues:
The Mean Fiddler {aka LA 2}
Underworld

P74 - Abney Park is a well-known beat
;-)

You can also catch the train direct Liverpool Street to Stoke Newington

I love old cemeteries... spoooky. I'll have to check it out.

Brompton Oratory

*P74 - Abney Park is a well-known beat ;-)

You can also catch the train direct Liverpool Street to Stoke Newington*

I know. When I first moved to London my flatmate said he saw Jarvis in Abney Park. He then very quickly said "He wasn't bumming or anything..."

You can get unwarranted attention wandering around on your own.
Your motives are easily confused by others.

God help you if you are dead!

From Sunday, it will be illegal to drink on the Tube and Docklands Light Railway, or any buses or trams operated by Transport for London. The Mayor hopes to reduce antisocial behaviour and violence, and make journeys more pleasant for passengers. But the move is not going through without a fight, with several groups opposed to the ban vowing to converge on the Underground tomorrow. With the prospect of the Circle line becoming a day-long party, extra police will be on patrol. Several thousand people have signed up to groups on Facebook. On ''Circle Line Party - Last Day of Drinking on the Tube'' they vow to celebrate ''our freedom to drink'', adding: ''We need to make this big, so spread the word and we'll 'flash-mob' the Tube.''

Another group, ''One Final Tube Booze Party'', plans to set off from Liverpool Street at noon. The site states: ''I believe we should take over a Circle line train and go around getting drunk all day just to say, 'Up yours Boris, you party animal!''' At last count the group had 2,700 members - enough, they say, to take over three trains.

Facebook is teeming

Circle Line Party Advice Sheet

• If anyone in uniform asks, we are all on the same train by sheer chance!
• The adverts on the train are ugly, bring something to make the train a nicer place. This does not mean graffiti, it means stuff that can be taken home.
• Be extra extra nice to the general passengers, give them food, give them drinks, give them sweets, make them very very very welcome.
• It's a party, come in your fanciest frock! Dress to the nines Dahling!
• Bring entertainment, bring music, instruments, card tricks, jokes and chat up lines. You are the entertainment, bring what you hope will have been organised and you will not be disappointed.
• If you are going to drink, we suggest spirits rather than beer. THERE ARE NO TOILETS ON THE TRAINS, so go before you board.
• It can get very stuffy down on the tube, BRING A BOTTLE OF WATER! If you get too hot, get off the train and wait for the next party to arrive, you can always dash up the northern, or along the central line to catch up with your original train again.
• If you see someone looking glum or lost, cheer them up, give them a drink and make a new friend.

STAYING OUT OF TROUBLE ADVICE

• DO NOT SMOKE, it sets off the alarms and stops the party.
• London Underground do not allow flash photography, and there will be a video made, we do not need 300 cameras documenting everything, if in doubt, leave yours at home. Come to party, not to make your journalistic career.
• Clean up after yourself, if you bring something, take it home. We are trying to show how wonderful the world can be, not how messy and careless we are.
• We fill the train from the back carriages, THE FRONT CARRIAGE IS LEFT EMPTY so that the driver doesn.t hear the noise and passengers have a peaceful place if they wish. If the train is packed out DON.T GET ON THE FRONT CARRIAGE.
• The party happens in the tunnels, IF WE ARE IN A STATION, OR ON A PLATFORM WE ARE SILENT AND LOOKING INNOCENT, if we are in a tunnel we are discotastic.
• Use your head, we are not going to be held responsible for you, and we are not going to be your parents, nor are we going to be the police. If you see someone doing something stupid or dangerous tell them to stop, they are ruining your party. If you are doing something stupid or dangerous, then stop. Don't block the fire exits, use your brains. Look out for each other, help each other out and have the nicest night of your life.

Six London Underground stations were closed as trouble flared when thousands of people marked the banning of alcohol on London transport with a party. Four tube drivers, three other staff members, and two police officers were assaulted, and there were 17 arrests. Several trains were damaged and withdrawn from service, which led to suspended services. Drinkers gathered on Tube trains and station concourses for a last drink before the ban came in at midnight. Police said what should have been a fun event came to an ''unfortunate'' end...

Twighlight Sad again HEBster? Lucky bastard.

Hi everyone... If anyone has a room available/knows someone with a room available in the next week or so please PM me ASAP as I have to be out of where I'm staying this weekend cos they need the spare room back.

I don't really care where it is anymore, as long as there's transport links nearby, preferably a tesco's or something nearby and its furnished. And a reasonable rent for the area (although the cheaper the better obvs).

I'm quite the seasoned sharer, having lived with male/female/gay/straight/couples etc etc in Sydney for over 6 years. Very respectful, very social so I won't be moping at home very often, and due to the nature of my work will probably be away or working weekends on occassion too.

Ummm... other than that I'm pretty normal. 25 yrs, non smoker, non veg, very good with rent and bills (having been a leaseholder myself, I know what its like) and very neat (but not anal).

OK cheers
