    Good luck with the commute; by Kentsh Town, the Northern Line can very fatten be very full for the whole morning rush period. Used to work at London Bridge (where the Shard is now) from 96-01 and have lived in The Borough and Bermondsey since then. Great place for work, less hectic on the streets and in cafes/restaurants than in the city. Shopping not necessarily as good. Whereabouts are you working?

    I'm confused. She says she's 24 in the article, but she's 32!? Is this the same comedienne from Naked Camera?

    I thought the same. There's no way she's only 24! The whole piece was a bit too erratic for me.

    I can give her one tip for a Cork girl living in London - slow down when you speak or nobody will understand you!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,095 ✭✭✭LadyMayBelle


    No way is she 24! I can handle her in small doses but have to say her character on Naked Camera was my least favourite. Will still read the column though! Thanks for the link Silvervixen

    I'm just about to move to Beckenham actually after a few years out in Surrey. Whereabouts are you living?


  • Registered Users Posts: 539 ✭✭✭83ste


    Another Beckenhamite here!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 367 ✭✭splanagan22

    Live just up the road from beckenham junction on the Avenue. It's a nice place but just a little far out sometimes. Where you moving too?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,166 ✭✭✭enda1


    I posted this over on the travel forum but thought ye all may know better:

    I'm flying Stansted to Kerry this week and am wondering if anyone knows which gate range ryanair use for this flight or in general for flights to Ireland?

    I see that their "international" flights fly from a different area to "domestic". Is Ireland under their designation of domestic or international?

    The reason I ask is that the No. 1 lounge at gate 49 is only available if flying Ryanair to international destinations or so they say.

    I don't know, but in Stansted they charge for the plastic bags used for liquids so if you have one bring it with you

    The other side of the tracks, just off Hayne Road, close enough to the Odeon and Beckenham Spa.

    The fiancee's sister lives in Bromley so will be good to be closer to family.

    Seems there's a few of us from Beckenham so, we'll have to do a mini Boards Beers meetup! :D

    Is it time for a back to school beers yet?? We can complain about the extra traffic on the roads, and how obnoxious school kids are?

    Hi there,

    My name is Tara and I used to post on this forum ages ago (I just realised that it was nearly two years since my last post!!!). I moved away from London, went travelling, got married etc etc so am only coming back to boards.ie now.

    I'm living in East London for the last few months and am currently trying my hand at writing. I love reading, exploring the East End especially the pubs and going to the cinema.

    I'd definitely be on for meeting up for a drink at some point :)

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,095 ✭✭✭LadyMayBelle


    Mise freisin!


  • Registered Users Posts: 9 LovelyLDN


    And me!


  • Registered Users Posts: 102 ✭✭Cheetara


    Does next Wednesday evening suit any of you Eastenders (or anyone who wants a pint)? Somewhere around Liverpool street as it's central???
    All alternative suggestions welcome :)

    I'm sorry but you need to get with the programme, Rotherhithe is south (sarf) London not east London. Not a lot of people know that as Rotherhithe-born Maurice Micklewhite would let you know. If you don't know who Maurice Micklewhite is, you need to move out of the area!

    Can't make next Wednesday Im afraid, but Thurs or Fri would work.. can always get the next one if ye still want to go ahead.
    Gorgeous little places in and around Redchurch Street in Shoreditch OR if it's sunny there's always Boxpark near Shoreditch/Liverpool St.
    Waterpoet is nice in Liverpool Street although often very busy, Breakfast Club too.


  • Registered Users Posts: 102 ✭✭Cheetara


    Can't do Thursday but Friday could work .


  • Registered Users Posts: 9 LovelyLDN


    South East. Check the post code. My rent is awesome so I'm not moving out of the area but thanks for the advice.

    Friday drinks could work for me too!
