lol poax i was waiting for someone to list all the dubstep peeps from croydun.

luke - they're making a this life one hour comeback special to be shown i think maybe this xmas. gonna be a 'where are the gang now' type programme. no say they'll all look a bit old and withered now. who was the blonde girl milly hated? rachel or something? she was FIT.

i'm pretty sure will self lives in vauxhall, not sure if that's sw9?

when i used to work on south london press (with 8, of course) we used to spend our whole time chasing every *vaguely* famous person who ever had anything to do with south london, it was kinda pathetic.

You should feel priviledged Ali!! And didnt Lennon, get the better of those two guys, only to think better of finishing them off?

Any way, famous and from coatbridge, just round the corner from me old mans house, are Gerry Rafferty(writer of baker street, and stuck in the middle with you by stealers wheel) and Ian 'Lovejoy' McShane....Dad says he hung around with both as a nipper, but thats debateable.

Yeah, think so. I think thats why they got of relatively lightly.

C'mon though, even Celtic fans don't like Neil Lennon!

Also, Lennon has become a bit of a Jambos favourite after he gifted us a cheeky wee goal in the last clash...

(Although I always thought Ricksen was a much bigger fanny.)

Cringing Cult of Celebrity (Famous residents and ex-residents.)

Barbara Windsor Kray Twins Charlie Magri - He has a few shops as well, one being a pet shop. Jack The Ripper (short residential periods only... Probably) Daniel Mendoza (English heavyweight boxing champ 1792-1795) Marcus Garvey (I only have a mates word for that though)
Pete Doherty and Carl Barat of the Libertines used to live here, as did Razorlight and Dominic Masters of the Others namechecks his flat "just off Cambridge Heath Road" on their debut album
I believe Harry Enfield and Paul Whitehouse once shared a squat on the Kingsmead Estate.
Les Mckeown of Bay City Rollers, see, told you its full of people no other council wants!!!!!
Then: Harrowgate rd E9; The Communards group Then & Now: Christopher Biggins E9 area Then: Les McKweon (Then Lead singer of Bay City Rollers)E5 area Then: Robbie Coltraine actor E9 area Now: Joanne Guest model Corrrr!!! E9 area Now: Lee Hurst comedian E2 area
Christopher Thingy. The scouse geezer from Aufweidershoen(?) Pet. Lived in the block of flats next door
Hackney has lots of ex-Big Brother people and soem porn stars (I think). Plenty of B-List Japanese too because of the Burberry factory off Morning Lane.
Loads of boxers lived in and around the area, The famous jewish boxer Mendoza who lived in Paradise Row.
ANGIE FROM EASTENDERS IS FROM OUT OF BANCROFT
Newest resident is Mel from the original Big Brother. London Fields area. Saw her in a Ikubo talking about sanding her floor in newly bought house.
Tommy from Groundforce
Harry Enfield lived above a Kebab shop in Mare Street Hackney, Carol (Tiffs Mum in E/Enders) lives near Viccy Park.Vidal Sassoon and Peter Sellers are also good old Cockneys
Pat Brookman - world social traveller of snow slopes and Western Australian heat waves (not the surfing varieyt) and local nursing identity (prizes to identify which medical establishment....)
Big Breakfast - walk down the canal east along Victoria park. At the first T-junction go right, up over the bridge and back the way you came along the opposite side of the river. Walk for about 1 mile and suddenly you'll hit Old Ford Lock in all it's glory - giant gnome and all. Never been in the morning but it's sweird any time.
Bianca from EastEnders lives (lived?) in Bethnal Green. So does Jah Wobble, once of PiL. Fat Bloke Christopher Biggins (remember?)and the bloke from TV's "Ground Force" who is it not Dimmock or Tichmarsh in Viccy Park area. Comedienne Donna McPhail of short-lived "Sunday Show". Helen Baxendale in Stokey, apparently. Buster Bloodvessel in Clapton.
Mr J. Rotten probably went to Brooke House Scool not Broke House.
Harold Pinter, Thistlewaite Road, E5 Marcus Garvey, Stamford Hill
The Kray Twins, of course. Born on Vallance Road.
Ray Ilott. played at the Orient and later went onto greater things in Australia, playing for Australia in 1975/6
Nigel from EastEnders.
Johny Rotten also attended Broke House School in Hackney.
Barbara Windsor went to Our Lady at Stamford Hill and got thrown out.
Colin Firth (Mr D'Arcy/Fever Pitch )lives here.
Phil Collen, guitarist for Def Leppard, was born and grew up in Hackney.
Just a tidbit, I'd probably get killed for telling people on the net, but I'll tell you, in the Famous residents/ex-residents for Hackney, Julia Ormond is a resident/ex-resident (I don't know which).
Buskers, Street Entertainers

The bloke who rides in his wheelchair down the middle of Cambridge Heath Road, last heard he had been run over!!!!
Then: Local characters: Terry Turner Brunswick Arms E9 area
38 Bus harmonica player.
Being the 50's i think the only place to go was Petticoat Lane of course.I was only about 3-4 but remember it vividly.There was a big African guy that use to be flame eater that use to perform regulary down there.Remember this was the 50's so there were very few people of african origan so even that was strange.He could of probally made a living by just sitting on the pavement as very few people would of seen his race.(I live in New zealand and hear its different now?)The other thing to stick in the brain was one part of the Lane was taken up by blind people sitting along the pavement basket weaving. Also a guy in chains.What a strange place for a 3 year old!!It must of been as I can still see them as if it was yesterday.
plenty of street entertainers, dont think that the know though...
If you find beggars, smack-heads, drunks and east european gypsy squeegee merchants entertaining - then Hackney's your place.

Yes they were. I reckon he should have a crack at dubstep. The mix cd that came with the first album had some disgusting beats.
