Everything happens on supernatural tuesdays.

Believe me, supernatural happenings would be a relief.  I have salt and cold iron and I doesn't afraid of anything.  Come at me, ghost bros.  This place might be built on an ancient Cockney burial ground, but I have Australian-Scottish beserker courage (read: alcohol) in the face of the unknown, and no soft Pommie southerner is going to get the better of me, incorporeal supernatural dread beast or not.

I have found that I quite enjoy a Cain when it's drinking.

I, too, enjoy Cain's posts when he's been drinking.  :lol:



In new news, me and my folks are going to look at a triplex today.  They want to buy a property to rent it out, and I can live in one of the units, they say.

You live in the dump?

Also, agree with LMNO.  Drunken Cain is amazing.

Close enough.

From Wikipedia: "The etymology of 'Shoreditch' is debated. One legend holds that the place was originally named "Shore's Ditch", after Jane Shore, the mistress of Edward IV, who is supposed to have died or been buried in a ditch in the area. This legend is commemorated today by a large painting, at Haggerston Branch Library, of Jane Shore being retrieved from the ditch, and by a design on glazed tiles in a shop in Shoreditch High Street showing her meeting Edward IV.

However, the area was known as "Soersditch" long before Jane Shore's life. A more plausible origin for the name is "Sewer Ditch", in reference to a drain or watercourse in what was once a boggy area. It may have referred to the headwaters of the river Walbrook, which rose in the Curtain Road area."

So it's like Tucson, only soggy.

Well I suppose there must be some advantage to live over an ancient sewer.

Also hipsters and start-up silicon companies.  It's very "trendy", considering it's tacked on the arse-end of Hackney like a tick on a cow.  Places like Dalston, which has living standards on a par with Kabul, are side-by-side with trendy gated communities inhabited entirely by rich art students and wannabe internet entrepreneurs.

I frankly hope one day all the chavs from Dalston come and burn the place down.

I apparently can't chug through a school day quite like I used to. I used to be able to go all day, from eight to five pm easy. And now eight to five, even with a decent break, makes me really fucking tired.

At night, the Prague tram lines change routes. My group ended up in some suburb not on my tourist map.
While we're waiting for the tram back, a quite big, really drunk local man appears.

It's very interesting how my group reacts: Three people freak out. Three people (including me) observe cautiously, thinking "he can't possibly do us any harm, he's one, we're seven, and he's so wasted he can barely stand upright". And one girl starts talking to him. He turns out to be harmless and friendly but confused, and communicates only in grunts, Czech and the occasional English word. Except for the people who freaked out, we become great friends with Viktor in the few minutes our paths cross.

Prague isn't the Greyhound Express. Czech Belgians are rarely murderhobos.

Western Norwegian Belgians on the other hand..... scary fuckers, the lot of them.
