I'd like to think that they're literally going to bump into each other while browsing in the health and relationship section, and have a brief but polite chat.

Lol, my mates and I were drinking in The 10 Bells on New Year's Day and Neil and I kept dragging people outside and insisting they worship at the EVILHAWKSMOORGODOFDOOM!

Benway, really? The pub looks like it could do with a touch of paint. I had a pint in there when I went on a Jack The Ripper walk, but can assure you that I was as quiet as a mouse.

I wonder what the worst ever place to live for fans doing re-enactments must be. I mean, there's that Star Wars place in the desert, but I'm guessing that the kind of people that make the effort to travel there are probably quite sensible and pleasant. I'm thinking, like, the zebra crossing at Abbey Road (which I've never been to now I think on). Imagine living right next to that.
I did go to Jim Morrison's grave in Paris many years ago, and there's always a few people there, but they're not pissing about usually and it's not overlooked by any houses, so that doesn't count.
What's the worst place of pop-icon re-enactment pilgrimage in the world do you reckon?

I bet the residents of Abbey Road get asked to take a lot of photos of groups of four international tourists... Please to hold on, madame, while I remove my shoeses

No, sorry. I was subverting our notions of objective truth (thereby challenging the foundations of our moral ontolgy) by breaking down the false boundaries that have been constructed to seperate the physical world and the one in my head.

Apparently platform staff at Kings Cross have been briefed to help visitors who want their photo taken next to the "Platform 9 and 3/4" sign they now have there.
Also, local residents got fucked off with folks having their picture taken outside that door from the stupid Notting Hill film. As we know from Sabian, those types don't like the proles venturing into W11.

It is - I'm not much of a fan of the genre to be honest beyond Shaun of the Dead, but reading this was entertaing, informative and of a standard I would expect from any off the shelf mag you would find in WH Smiths.

I used to work on Leman Street which apprently was one of his stamping grounds - but you probably already knew that - can't remember the exact alley but it was alledged he did one in there, just below our tape library.

I thought it was Paddington.
Why on earth would it be Paddington?
I have seen the sign myself but am usually in too much of a hurry to ask someone to take my pic under it.

I saw the sign last time I was in London but I thought taking a picture of it would make me look like a twat. Anyway, I was too weighted down with wine to be arsed to find my camera.

Yeah, it would be absolute chaos, what with all the other people already there dressed in duffle coats and floppy hats eating marmalade sandwiches.

Mm. Did you see the documentary thing where she bought and cut up a Sickert painting to reveal... nothing? She continued to maintain Sickert was TEH RIPPAR!!1 on the basis of ancient photographic imagery of him as an old man in which his eyes looked, like, really really evil.
