Hmm. I see where that must be. But this googled:

More than anybody else in his career, Tony Visconti understands what makes David Bowie tick. They first met in 1967, when 20-year-old Visconti, an in-house songwriter at New York's Richmond Organisation, moved to London specifically to work with the largely unknown singer. They lived together at Bowie's notoriously swinging hippie commune at Haddon Hall. Visconti (who also did eight albums with Marc Bolan) earned Bowie's trust and respect by getting the singer to stand up to industry figures.

You're sure the pix were taken at Haddon Street? Because Haddon Hall would appear to be an altogether different deal...

Just make sure you leave the guns , and the mindset that goes with it , in the photograph of your sitting-room , Maggie L .

Yeah, Maggie...try to be at least as civilized as the football hooligans, okay?

Sorry. I'm exhausted...and didn't have time to get there anyway. Rides on the river, Royal Observatory and National Maritime Museum, stooging around in town (walked most of it) and just now got back from Blue Man group.

Fuck your ignorant presumptions about my "mindset".

I carry exactly the same mindset, only with a hightened sense of awareness because my personal defensive weapons options in the UK are *extremely* limited...about the same as they are on an airliner.

I was willing to tolerate it only to attend my daughter's wedding. The groom, of course, was heavily armed: broadsword as long as your arm.

Ibby · 07-10-2006, 05:32 PM

Nah, I was kiddin, it's coo', I wouldnt seriously ask you to traipse around london for me.

Ibby · 07-10-2006, 05:36 PM

OK, we'll list you under ignorant presumptions too.

But more polite about it. :-)

It's not "Maggie needs a gun to feel secure". It's "Maggie has a right to own and carry weapons, and resents it when drooling collectivists interfere with that right so they can have a warm fuzzy or satisfy some darker purpose".

Hey, if it had been convenient I certainly would have...I was traipsing anyway and not particularly discriminant about where in some cases. :-)

It's such a gun-grabber canard, though. In fact it seems to me that the folks in such a big hurry to disarm their law-abiding neighbors to "prevent gun crime" are the ones with some issues.

Ibby · 07-10-2006, 06:00 PM

I know, thats why I said it. Its like going "not ALL towelheads are terrorists!" or "not ALL fags like rainbows!" I had to say it for the irony.

JayMcGee · 07-10-2006, 08:21 PM

Why would you want to carry a gun in London? There is no right to bear arms here, and most olf us Brits would feel might insulted at the mere suggestion that you felt you had to be armed, like you were comparing us with Bagdhad or NewYork or LA or somewhere else equally violent.

OTOH, if you were going to Liverpool or Salford.....

Maybe because of all the knifings going on over there.
