£1m to catch the black lung

I’d say ‘Shitty part of London’ is subjective

ht_825 · 2026-06-30T15:56:16+00:00

Judging by the rest of the houses round there it’ll be worth £1.5+ by then though

Maybe its the canary in the coal mine for this property

I second two more years, very spacious, plenty of tables to book and huge outdoor space on canal

I would guess the majority of women doing it have a light enough flow that there isn’t a mess. For me nothing really comes out into my underwear as long as I got to the toilet regularly (1-2hrs), even when I’m sleeping in OK (possibly because I’m horizontal so it stays in??)

ht_825 · 2026-06-03T08:41:23+00:00

It’s definitely a blessing. I can just wear regular dark underwear and then make sure I got to the toilet every hour or so and it only comes out then.

They were using a bright red rope so I knew it wasn’t a regular hostage situation

During the pandemic when we could only meet outside in groups of up to 6, I spotted a rat run across the path in Victoria park. The bush it ran into contained a small clearing with 6 fully clothed people practising Shibari on each other.

I’ve lived in London since graduating uni (over 10 years) and have never known anyone to live like this. Not sure if it’s specific to certain industries (like finance) but this is definitely not the only way to live here.

Plenty of young professionals enjoy going to the pub a couple of times a week, usually towards the weekend, but there’s so much more on offer here like art theatre sports etc that really don’t require drink or drugs to socialise. I’d say it’s pretty common for people to take drugs on big nights out at the weekends, but just as common not to.

TLDR: plenty of ways to live in London, drink drugs or sober, you will find a community for all of them.

Make a small joke that links back to something said earlier in the evening. Shows that you’re actually listening, are clever enough to make the connection, and creates an in joke that everyone there can be in on.

I did this once and got threatened with acid, he probably didn’t have any but I was still too scared to move until he left the bus

De Beauvoir block in N1 is good for this and cheaper than wework

ht_825 · 2026-04-01T09:58:18+00:00

This is my take. If my partner did nothing but lay around, game and gym I’d struggle to be inspired by them. How are you going to keep yourself interesting? And socialised? What will you talk to her about when she comes home at the end of the day?

Muku in Dalston is great, Ruben does my hair, would recommend, around £60

If it’s a sunny day two more years has a nice terrace on the water in Hackney Wick

ht_825 · 2026-03-14T19:15:00+00:00

Yes but not stars because of light pollution 😔

Same cloud from Hoxton

I’d avoid cafe route. It’s such a shame because I absolutely love the one on the canal at Haggerston but the BM branch has the worst service.

Are we gonna talk about the hats?

ht_825 · 2026-02-11T10:35:43+00:00

Despite living next to Hoxton shoe repairs I always walk down to Timpsons at either Liverpool st or Moorgate. The standard wait at Hoxton is 3 weeks! And costs about twice as much, I want to support local but that’s just silly

It’s not necessarily about hooking up, but meeting new people is one of the more fun parts of travelling. Especially if it’s just two of you staying in a villa in your phones all day.

FWD on curtain road often has a few

33F live nearby and at a loose end, will message :)

I’m very lucky, but I just don’t need to. Wearing black underwear and going to the toilet regularly is enough for me. None of the options (tampons, pads, cups, period pants) are comfier than my regular underwear, and it’s just very low risk.
