Hey don’t say anything bad about Mary Harney. Mary Harney is the greatest person on the planet. I looooooove Mary Harney. [sub](refer to some of my most recent LJ entries if you think I’ve lost my mind.)[/sub] ---

Whereabouts? Since FA Cup final day 1999 I’ve seen Rhys Ifans, singer from Super Furry Animals, Gail Porter, Keith Flint, Helena Bonham-Carter, Chris Evans, Billie Piper, Chris Moyles, Hugo Speer, sat next to Sporty Spice in a pub, sat next to Mike Leigh in a restaurant, watched Frank Skinner pull (he and David Baddiel live in adjoining houses - you can watch DB’s enormous TV through a large window from a nearby bus stop), and had a drunken conversation with Rhona Cameron (she lived in the flat above some friends). Sorry. Namedropping impresses nobody, but I had to clear it out of my system. The kids with the fireworks will soon disabuse me of notions of stardom. ---

Actually I think it’s officially Kentish Town, but it’s just round the corner from the Chalk Farm tube: Prince of Wales Road. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by jjimm \* > \*\*Actually I think it’s officially Kentish Town, but it’s just round the corner from the Chalk Farm tube: Prince of Wales Road. \*\* Lots of people claim to live in Chalk Farm, since it’s theoretically a lot nicer than where they really live (arse end of Camden, Kentish Town, Gospel Oak). Er, like me. I also live just off Prince of Wales Road. ---

National Day firework display just ended in Hong Kong a few hours ago (as mentioned by Green Bladder). Bloody magnificent. Leave the kids and their fireworks alone, you miserable sods.😃 ---
