Yeah, you said I could stay at yours
is that still okay? I can find somewhere else to crash if you don't have room.
Do they actually taste of cherries? And surely you'd be more likely to find a special tobacconist in London than in Manchester?

I did? I have no doubt of that, it had slipped my mind!
But that is perfectly fine - will you be driving, or training? If the former, I'll have a scout around to see if there's anywhere you can park (I live in quite a suburban area, though I do live in a close we don't have a designated parking spot) If train, there are buses from St Pancras, Euston, Paddington, Liverpool Street and Victoria, so that's pretty much all your bases there (no tube, sadly) But no, no, there's a bus from mine pretty much to Tayyab's that goes over Tower Bridge, which is pretty.

They taste of cherries in the same way that menthol fags taste of mint. So, not an awful lot, but if you were looking for a word to describe them, that would be it. Kreteks are clove cigarettes anyway, so that's the dominant (and nommy) taste.

My new shoes are a bit gothic lolita
I feel this is going to be my new look.

It's a good look!

I do enjoy it.
Not going to go the whole hog, though some of my dresses have in-built petticoats and I have a hankering after a proper one.

No, I'll be on the train
it really is ok if you don't have room! I would be grateful if you do though, and can give you cake in exchange for crash space...
And I'll be coming down in the morning and generally having a wander until the afternoon, so I'll probably meet you at Tayyab's or just before or something for a drink.
Kreteks sound quite nice actually.

No no no, I have plenty of room.
The sofa is surprisingly comfortable, though I have no spare blankets, which might be an issue. I might invest in one, for when I get too hot in the summer.
Ok- I recommend Brick Lane (well, one shop on Brick Lane to be honest... and it's not even on Brick Lane, but that's beside the point) as that's very near to Whitechapel.

I'll give you one. And a cigarette, as well.

I can bring a sleeping bag if it's easier
but if you've got something else I can use I'd prefer that to humping a sleeping bag round London. But it's no bother.
I was planning to have a wander down Oxford street maybe, and the science museum or natural history museum. And then maybe Spitalfields on Sunday? I've never been down Brick Lane, is it good?
And cheers, hehe.

Brick Lane is great.
If you like Indian food.

I do like indian food
I think I went to a tattoo convention which was down that way somewhere. It's meant to be all boutiquey and stuff. I really don't know most of London very well, it's my intention to have a good explore next weekend.

I wanna go to the London tattoo convention this year

Pencil INK it in your diary so you don't forget.

It was awesome
I felt so bloody vanilla though.
(berk, Sat 15 Jan 2011, 23:19, Reply)

I am vanilla compared to some at tattoo conventions
I want to go to the Cov one too.

Coventry has a tattoo convention?!
I don't know, you're fairly tattooed and pierced and whatnot. There were a lot of people wandering round with their tatts out though, and a lot of amazing art.
Sigh. I wanna tattoo.
(berk, Sat 15 Jan 2011, 23:32, Reply)

Yeah!
You should totally get tattoos :D
I'll find out the dates of the Cov covention
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Sat 15 Jan 2011, 23:49, Reply)

I would
but 1) they're expensive and 2) once they're there, they're there forever. The idea of having something permanently inked in to my skin scares me a bit. At least with my piercings, if I take them out they'll heal up more or less like they'd never been there.

But tattoos are awesome!
We'll go to Cov or London convention and find you the style and/or artists you like.
