Start spreading the news I'm leaving today

Well tomorrow actually. And its a strange feeling.

I've lived in Sarf Lundin (that's south London to you) for years and most of the time right bang in the centre of the universe - Kennington Cross. Tomorrow I move to the sarf coast to a house with 4 bedrooms, a big garden and trees. We bought it a few weeks ago. Its been a while since I saw a living tree.

Things I am going to miss:

1. Samsun kebab shop Kennington - the greatest kebab shop in the world. I've been going there for 6 years. Five years ago they told me I was there second best customer. Bastards. The so called best customer strolled in whilst I was waiting. It was my brother.
2. The Famous Three Kings pub in West Kensington - best pub in London for watching footy.
3. The Thames - specifically walking along side it, specifically not drinking from it.
4. Kennington Cross - everything you need there - 3 curry houses, Pizza Express, Pizza Hut, Samsun, the Chinese, Oddbins, Newsagent, greasy spoon x 2, fish and chip shop, Thai Silk (Thai), 2 pubs, dry cleaners and about 24 MPs (and probably therefore 24 prostitutes/rent boys). And all within 50 yards of my house.
5. Not having to drive anywhere - having the tube on your door step is the best.
6. My mates.
7. Poker clubs (not that I use them).
8. Walking home.
9. The fitties.
10. Getting hammered after work

Things I won't miss

1. Cyclists. You know those road hogging wankers that consistently run red lights, knock kids over (I've seen em try) and whose parents get shirty when they get run down by cement lorries whilst undertaking. I have dreams about sticking my umbrella between the spokes of a passing bike and watching the fucker.....anyway I've limited myself to shouting oy cunt that's a red light every time I see one doing it.
2. The tube - specifically the northern line.
3. Commuters on the tube - why when the tube is almost empty and they have the whole carriage to chose from do people walk up to you and then turn around so that there poxy ruck sack pins you in the corner? Why, in the peak of rush hour, do people lean against the holding poles so that no one else can get there hands on it?
4. Tourists.
5. Having to pay £160 per year to park outside my house.
6. Traffic wardens giving my removal van a ticket.
7. My landlord - arse/ass/donkey/fucker/donkey fucking arse
8. Stockwell - aka Beirut. Elephant & Castle - up your arsehole.
9. Oxford street.
10. Taxi drivers saying - sarf of the river you must be jokin. Mini cab drivers who take you to Kensington

But its ok. I will still be working up here. Oh joy I am now a commuter - 2 hours each way - that's going to cut into the poker time. But I have a plan. Truly wireless broadband from Three mobile. It costs £15 per month and means you get broadband anywhere there is a mobile phone signal - like on the train for example. Hoorah! More poker (possibly). And I can get Sky at the house (which I can't at the house - see number 7 (above) for explanation.

Not sure when I will get to post again or play again. Don't think I will have any form of broadband until the end of next week.
