In which bit of London would you choose to live?

[spacemonkey]

I moved to Islington in the summer. As I expected, it's a very mixed area - some posh bits, some rough bits. I know the whole of London is like this, pretty much, but this area seems particularly polarised. Anyway, to get to the point, I am thinking about moving again in the new year, in fact I'm going to look at a flat in Bayswater this weekend, and from the minimal investigations I've done it seems to me that Bayswater will suit me much better.

I'm loving living in London, and ideally I want to be somewhere central, buzzing (i.e. not quiet residential but lots of shops/restaurants etc), not too posh, not too rough and preferably further west.

Any recommendations for me? Where would you choose and why?

Yes, that's the problem. I have said I'll think about it, but if I do go back it'll only be for them - I really don't want to go back there at all from a selfish point of view.

wish I knew what to say, trying to think how things were for me and how I would've felt. There's no point going back if you're going to be unhappy and imho, you can't let them make that decision for you. I reckon they may know this anyway and although you'll miss each other, you'll all be doing what you need/want so surely it'll be better all round although not perfect. At least you're not forcing hateful situations on them SM. Please tell me to butt out if you think i'm talking utter sh&te.

jmg only wants to go out with you for your alleged bondage chair

thank you for your thoughts DG, you're not talking shite at all!

and as for you lou, yes i think you are right

i know tooo much

bondage chair? Can I ask from where it was pur-chased SM? Not that I have anyone in particular to share it with, just interested

I don't have one. Jmg just seems to have got it into his head that I have for some reason!

but you can get inflatable ones from ann summer

I wonder why Must be all the leather gear you wear around town with your chihuahua, tartan trolley and coral lipstick that appeals

i tried one out on lou in ann summers and jmg got inordinately excited at the thought

jmg wasn't actually there i have to add

but he wishes he was

i did handcuff sm's swain though

that was before he was my swain though

can you Lou, i'll have to take a look. Am after some replacements . Maybe i'll ask santa for one for christmas, do you think it'll double as a nursing chair.....keep the baby secure at any rate . Must go and feed my face now.

sm had me in the bondage chair brandishing a whip at me with glee in her eyes.

sorry it was a cane

i'm sure it was actually a cane i was brandishing

ciao ciao sexi, i'm orf to see my swain now

you are correct. i apologise mistress

inflatable could be a bit dodgy though, specially if you get to close with your studded stilletto thigh highs and ball and chain

baci

ciao ricardo

ciao ernesto
