yen_powell Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Took a very rainy short cut through an east London cemetery. "I know", thought I. "I'll take some pictures!" A Cockney Boot Hill. I reckon they filmed Amy Winehouse in there. Council lets it grow wild now, I keep meaning to get in and take pictures at Bluebell or Snowdrop time. I didn't have the heart to take a picture of the large group of very small headstones where all the children are buried. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had a colleague, circa 2002, who we nicknamed the Ninja because he looked like a baddy from a Karate Kid film. He actually was a highly rated martial arts fan as well. The cemetery is right next to our then offices. He took a shortcut through there at lunchtime whilst carrying a very obvious metal lap top case. Three of the local upstanding youth asked him to hand it over and then laid hands upon him. He returned with a torn shirt, still holding the lap top case, but it now had head shaped dents in it. I have actually found a picture of him that I'd added a speech bubble to from back then. He's talking to the world's most most boring Australian who was with us for about a year. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Wouldn’t go walking in there for fun, but given enough wine in a freeky evening it sounds like a…. No, it’s still a no. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
