I've never heard of Matthew J. Costello but he looks like my kind of thing...

That bookshop is indeed cool. :)

We should totally hang out more. You should move to the countryside. :)

We shall be hanging out this Friday with our very special, and very loved, buddy Nick C. :-P

And here are the titles I can remember seeing at the bookshop:

Bats Out of Hell
Wolfcurse
The Undead
Mania ----> :-)
Phobia
The Origin of the Crabs
Crabs on the Rampage

There were others but I can't remember their names.

Aw, these are all good, fun reads. :) You should've at least picked up "Crabs on the Rampage"! :)

I'll drop you a line later in the week - there doesn't seem to be times up for next week's cinema yet (usually they go up around Wednesday) but we're definitely a go for Friday. I'm super looking forward to it! :D :D :D

I saw the trailer and it looks like silly fun. Should be a good laugh. :-)

Lovely though you are, I'm afraid even you aren't lovely enough to make me move to East London.

commonpeople August 31 2008, 18:37:46 UTC

What's so wrong or bad with the East End? I think you've only been shown the bad bits and don't know there are also awesomeness. I think you should come visit...

Visiting's fine - I used to go and see Moz when she lived in Bethnal Green, after all.

It's not that there's anything particularly wrong with East London, but it's not somewhere I feel comfortable as it's not what I'm used to. I don't know it at all, what I've seen drving around it is that it's considerably poorer (and rougher) than where I grew up, very cramped and post-industrial. I'm strictly a suburb dweller, and frankly a bit of a snob! Plus it's north of the river...

I'm sure there are nice bits, as there are all over London, but I just wouldn't be comfortable living there.

Fair enough. It's definitely not suburban in its feel; it's for people who like a mish mash of styles - the good and the bad side by side.

At first I thought that the photo caption said, "creeps at broadway market" and I was like, "She doesn't look creepy!"

commonpeople September 1 2008, 08:27:04 UTC

She was pretty popular for a creep.

I was at Broadway market yesterday! ... bought a button front VILE frock for £5 on sale rail. Its been soaking in bleachy water overnight and now I'm dying it Tulip Red to then shorten into a tunic - customising is FUN : D

commonpeople September 1 2008, 08:29:23 UTC

Aw, it's a shame we missed each other! I'm pretty sure I'd have recognised you if I'd seen you.
