Places that you've been that you reall shouldn't have..


Recommended Posts

My flatmate's bedroom on the ground floor. (Hiding from a certain visitor and had to eventually 'escape' through the window out the back)


An unassuming nightclub in mid-90s Prague. (Turned out to be a VERY naughty but bizarre sex show, pole-dancing place to the joy of all three male friends I was travelling with)


Kebab & Wine. East Dulwich. Every time.




Quids, my mates used to say I spent most of the evening at Turnmills in the loos (nothing dodgy, just applying lipstick for the thousandth time).

The North Bank means the one at Upton Park to me....now gone


Nope, by 1990 I was gentrified it wasn't me :))

*Pulau Nias, Indonesia. Renamed it island of liars after a week.

*Cells at Chelsea police stn with knife wounds and refusing a doctor treat them (and somehow avoiding a search so they didn't find my 1/2 oz of red lebanese, even though I had a 12" pipe in rasta colours sticking out of breast pocket of my dinner jacket, weird).

*Burmese military cells for being caught camping alone in area controlled by the Mon National Liberation Army.

*On a plan from Dacca, Bangladesh to Rangoon when a fight between 30-40 drunk Indians/Burmese broke out, was sure we were all gonna die that flight. At Rangoon the army came on board and were less than subtle in their resolution of the situation.

*Bob Dylan concert at Brixton Acadamy about 5 years ago when the man didn't even pick-up his guitar, sang like my cat being shampooed and even tried to 'dance'.

*Stepping onto a street in Aldershot when an orange VW Beetle should have known I wasn't looking.

*Court for drink-driving when I'd gone to get my bag from my car and 2 guys in the car park looking for a lift decided to force me to drive them across Berkshire. I got a split face and lost a tooth, pulled-in at a gas station and told attendant to call the police. 1 year ban.

KK, great list, and you've reminded me.


* Plane in Burma. One of the last two remaining in the Burmese plane collection. All the others had crashed. When we took off we realised why. Too late.


We were the only people on the plane who weren't Burmese, and we were seated at the front with some military top brass.


Once we were airborne, I turned round and saw that all the other passengers on the plane were praying :))


We'd had to pay an arm and a leg in bribes to get on the plane in the first place, as well :))


* Oh yeh and Pangandaran in Java. My then partner was witness to the theft of a wallet. The thief tried to pin it on my partner. We spent the whole night at the police station where what seemed like the whole population of Pangandaran was trying to peer in the windows, then the police took the thief round the back of the building, beat him up and let us go :-S

Ooh... Kings Cross Water Rats, when The Busines were playing, some time in the early/mid 90s. A group of neo-nazis (combat 18?) turned up and smashed the place up, in retaliation for the band playing at a recent anti-racism rally. A friend of ours (who was playing in the support band) got stabbed. We (four teenagers from Hertfordshire) ran to Kings Cross station as fast as we could.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
