    I am a watcher, watching time move both forwards and backwards. I see the birth of some and the death of others, I see the happiness and the sorrow and the pain, to put it simply, I watch eternity.

    I come from Eterna and am the last of my kind.

    Or to put it another way I'm from the United Kingdom - but the above sounds a lot cooler :oops::bigtongue:

    If you rent it, just be sure to check which version of it you get. Neither is SFW, but the unrated one is a full X.

    My boss in his makeshift office at The British Science Museum, this was my canteen, pitch black tranquility in a nice part of town, it was amazing.

    I took a picture of that heart thing that 'the one in Soho' somebody hit and made it slant at an angle which I thought looked way cool and reminded me personally of Cupid's arrrow; I took the shot and was like

    I remember when I went to university in Bournemouth, people would always associate where I'm from with this..



    I'm envious. Krept & Konan are royalty in the UK scene.

    I like that music video Krept & Konan did for Don't Waste My Time as it was filmed on my doorstep... Also, I prefer Krept & Konan to Stormzy because I'm a Tory right and you get Stormzy chatting b/s and all.
    Plus I do prefer their music to his.

    Whenever I see that group of quad bikes rolling around Thornton Heath I see parked up on neighbouring roads or that white Hummer I see driving around also parked on roads close by - I do wonder if that's them.

    spiritually I'm from





    and if there's any sense of the word home for me

    in this life in which I live and the countries/places I've seen but still love being a musician from Thornton Heath and Soho (when I want to be) with an LTD and roots on Greek Street, I like life.

    It'd probably amuse you to know Stormzy didn't have a response for this. I'm not too fond of how he disregards the origins of grime. Then again I don't really listen to much old rock. My music taste is becoming like an old person these days, I barely find anything new that I like...

    Drum & Bass and Dubstep comes from this old speaker shop on London Road, Croydon, in the 1990's.
    The shop's name was 'Drum & Bass' and... They had the coolest signage ever I thought, was a mural of like ancient Egyptian designs.

    To this day, I want to hook up an electric guitar to a sub woofer and see what I get.

    I’m from England but I’m not sure where that is any more, unless ‘Up Shit Creek without a paddle’ counts.
