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.

    • I’d also recommend Paul for electrical work. He came round the other week to help us out with a handful of jobs (installing an SPD, new light fittings, installing a dimmer switch, a bathroom fan). His quote was cheaper than what I got from others, he turned up on time and he got the job done quickly. 
    • We’d like to add our recommendation for Lukasz and team at L&L Building & Maintenance.  Lukasz has recently installed a roof terrace for us, and we’ve found him a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We contacted about a dozen recommended builders and found his quote very competitive. During the build his team delivered quality work, they were no hassle in the house at all and they kept the place tidy every day. The terrace looks great, and we’re very happy customers. What stood out in particular was Lukasz’s responsiveness, right from discussing quotes to follow-up during the build. Lukasz often checked in and was always available when we needed him.  We’ll definitely contact Lukasz again for future building work and we’d happily recommend him to others looking for a reliable builder.   Lukasz Kugaczewski L&L Building & Maintenance 07926651960 [email protected] www.landl-build.com
    • Yes, I did mention the train, which I now get from East Dulwich to Guys instead of the 40. Depends where in East Dulwich you are starting from which route is easiest! I think it is probably lack of staff rather than lack of hospitals which is the problem?
    • What can be done? How about reporting it to the police?
