Thanks for your self-diagnosis. I wouldn't describe you as a prig, though, more the following. The bits in bold will tell you why you haven't moved beyond TLG:

mo·ron (môrn)
n.

A person of mild mental retardation having a low mental age and generally having communication and social skills enabling some degree of academic or vocational education.

I refer the 'honourable' Gentleman to my previous answer and add the following FYI..


Definition of Prig:
1. A person who demonstrates an exaggerated conformity or propriety, especially in an irritatingly arrogant or smug manner.

Ah the other village idiot has made an appearance. Is it a day out for the whole asylum?

Side effects of Cocaine: You may well feel like a million dollars on coke, but to those around you, you may well appear as an arrogant, loud arsehole with your incessant gibbering and insincere waffling.

I live in Angel. not as close to the city as barbican or farringdon, however close enough.

the plus side is the nice bars/restaurants and also the markets andthe shops.

it takes me 25 mins to walk to city or i can hope on the tube for 2 stops or hop on one of 5 buses

As I said, you lose the grip on reality in London.

But enough about Switzerland. And skint as well, eh Francko.
Worry not, though, at least Switzerland has legalised euthanasia.

I can tell you that close to the center for me means being able to leave your home and walk there in 5-10 minutes. Luckily I can do that.

Are you able to walk to Shoreditch? Maybe in half an hour if you don't get stabbed on the way by a gang.

Once you are out of London (don't need to go abroad, there are also many beautiful towns in UK) you start realising what you have been missing all these years, trust me. The Center of London is not Barbican or Shoreditch. A couple of trendy bars among dumpsters and gangs doesn't make an area the "center". It's amazing how London can modify your perspective and let you lose touch with the reality.

Now, when you will be able to afford a house in the West end I might consider you a "center" boy then... so far you are just an eastender.

Sounds good, do you know which agents are handling them?

Carringtons, usually. That's where I had my BTLs.

Or comt to think of it: Ludlow Thompson and Felicity J. Lord

There's loads of flats being built just east of the City, especially east of Leman street. (say 25 minutes walk from Barbican, probably less to wherever you work.) Some old office buildings are also being converted. (Look not just at the east side of Leman street but the backstreets to the east of it as well.)

I lived 50 yards from Barbican Tube - loved it. Walk home from work then over to Holmes place gym for a swim.

Not quite so good for kids.
