He meant specifically Whitechapel like. You're not wrong about how living here makes a massive difference to your perception of the place as a whole though.

Bet you timed it deliberately

About as much chance as you ever finding your way to SE London. So, no.

Wearing nowt but rubber gloves and an apron too I hope. Thomas!

Canny. Slept well enough, work today has been fairly harmless and I've made two batches of soup with a pot of chili on the go now. Househusbandtastic.

I'm getting Clarence Acuna vibes here like.

Might have been me. I don't like him as a person, though you can't deny his talent.

Quote from a Liverpool fan on the BBC Sport minute-by-minute: "We probably could have won the league if we didn't drop so many points against lower opposition."

Definitely watching MOTD now like.

I actually saw that at the cinema. :( :( :( :(

That's good news indeed. Fingers crossed for his further recovery.

Collapsed with nobody near him apparently. 6.24pm On FiveLive, Ian Dennis has confirmed that Fabrice Muamba is fighting for his life.

Decent-looking comedy night at the new Stand in town here - all for a good cause, too: http://www.sickchildrenstrust.org/Events__Campaigns/Forthcoming_Events/April_Fools/index.html Pass it on to anyone you know who might be interested.

I go out every night and sleep all day, since my last sausage roll.

I think you mean "ofay"

This has been #1 worldwide for the last three months:

Is Utrecht the Brighton of Holland? Not in that way, you cheeky monkey. But it fits the bill in terms of being smalller and nicer and generally more pleasant than the 'dam (but still with plenty of dubious substances to enjoy).

Leazes: Stick to the facts and stop asking "what if FF had stayed?", speculating about a non-existent situation is completely irrelevant to the discussion. meanwhile: Leazes: I know exactly what will happen IN THE FUTAAR. You couldn't make it up.

Amsterdam? Well, I would go with Amsterdam... but I'd be thinking of Utrecht.

If it's getting bigger too, that's not your gaydar

Mind, in terms of places nearer to Whitechapel, there's some alright parts of Shoreditch and Hoxton as long as you don't mind being surrounded by trendy wankers. And the old part of Wapping by the Thames has a lot of character and some nice pubs too.

Oi. Whitechapel's dead well connected really, making it easy to get away from. I'd say this is a good thing. There's the recently opened Overground, so (as Matt says) you could live up in Highbury or even down in my neck of the woods, south of the river, where there are some pretty decent neighbourhoods in Brockley and Forest Hill and the like. All depends how much you want to spend on rent really, but you're still talking no more than a 20-minute commute (say) on fairly nice new trains compared with the District and Hammersmith & City lines. Either way, I wouldn't particularly want to live around Whitechapel itself, no.
