Honorary Londoner

[tarannau]

but feel that my natural cockney twang and swarthy, Mitchell-esque east end hardman demeanour more than qualify me as a Londoner.

I never knew that Billy Mitchell had a slightly geekier non-identical twin.

Eastender - wannabe g.

Oh EE, you still have a long way to go before your Honarary Londoner badge.

 

[Rollem]

I have eaten pie and mash.

you didnt have liquor though, still some way to go my boy....

 

[EastEnder]

Would veggie pie & mash count? Or are all true Londoners vicious carcass munchers?

Of course it wouldn't count. You're ok though cos you're not a vegetarian, remember.

 

[EastEnder]

So I'm good to go with fish pie then?

Cool.

Cool.

you'll have to eat eels first to qualify.

It's tricky to support the greatest team in the World from these Southern parts for sure. £100 for a "home" game, including train fares and ticket is a right royal pain - other London clubs stink imho of course. There is always Fisher Athletic (I'm going to watch them in a few weeks).

I too get fucked off with out of towners, stealing our public transport seats...

as for stealing the London women.....it's not my fault you born and bred Londoners are soft?

I do now have a soft spot for London town. I live in Zone 1 - that has to be worth a few extra honorary Londoner points?

zone 1 is for poshies

zone 2 is where it's at

 

[Onket]

Exactly.

 

[EastEnder]

I had a bit of Pret sushi once, does that count?

 

[Rollem]

depends if it was jellied

 

[Onket]

Have you had rollmop herring? Don't think they are 'London' as such, but they are fucking rank- have one of them!

are you turning him into a dutchman instead?

 

[Onket]

I just want someone to share the horror of eating rollmop herring.

Is it Dutch then?

 

[guinnessdrinker]

Is it Dutch then?

I vaguely remember going to Amsterdam years ago and being told it was a local speciality.

 

[Onket]

And your opinion?

 

[guinnessdrinker]

And your opinion?

I can't remember. I was so young and I am so ancient

 

[Tank Girl]

rollmops are scandinavian aren't they?

 

[ska invita]

Am I an honorary Londoner?

as far as im concerned anyone who wants to be in is in - the test is simple - do you want to be a Londoner?
Most people fail at this point... if you say yes you get full London priviliges (allowed to snear at tourists in the summer, hate pigeons, forget how good the quality of life is everywhere else in the world, etc.,)

Are you sure you want to be one?
