    Boring ain't I.

    I said ain't I
    Not at all Ham. I mean, why would you want to leave? Gatwick Airport. You've got a Toby Carvery. The A23.

    Nowhere else can claim this.
    You forgot county mall, leisure park and the laser quest.
    Crawley? More like All-ley, right?

    Am I right?

    Born on Saturday afternoon (3.00 pm), 25th November 1944, in High Street North, East Ham (above a fish shop .... sheer class), just two streets away from The Boleyn Ground (High Street North - Barking Road - Green Street). Although this fact remained a mystery on the day of my birth, as my mother wanted to spare me nighmares, disappointments, discouragements and failures until I was old enough to cope with being a Hammers fan. My mother was a very kind and loving lady and told me that Man Utd played at the Boleyn ground until I was old enough to handle the truth.

    Oh, I now live in Trondheim, Norway.

    why? :hmm: :biggrin:
  • TrondheimrobTrondheimrob
    Bubbles .... being a Hammers fan is such a miserable, depressing experience that I decided to move to a country where the winter lasts for seven months, the sun disappears for months on end and dinner consists of white fish balls in a white sauce and where every other meal is bread and cheese, and where the favourite comedy programme is "Keeping Up Appearances" with Hyacinth. Now my misery is wonderfully complete and consistent and I am never let down because there is nothing to look forward to.

    Do you remember the old Londis supermarket right at the end of Heathway (chequers)? Owned by my uncle probably at the time you were living there
  • ASLEFshruggedASLEFshrugged
    I remember a supermarket on the corner of Heathway and Goresbrook Road, I think it was a Londis.

    Grew up in the city, moved to Brightlingsea, just outside Colchester, in 2001 for a couple of years before moving.

    Just in case you’re worried you’ve missed anything exciting or interesting happening In Brightlingsea since 2003, rest assured. You haven’t.

    Well Grey and Heathrow... My parents moved us to Hanworth when I was 5 so we must've been in close proximity!

    I lived in Hanworth and Feltham until my late 20s when I shifted to Muswell Hill.

    I've lived in the San Francisco East Bay Area for about 11 years now (Walnut Creek for most of it).

    I try not to incorporate 'like', 'hella', 'dude' and 'way' into my speech but I hear those words a lot in Cali!

    If i move back to UK I will obviously look to somewhere in the Liverpool area ;) :run:
