DJ Towers R.I.P – A Former Glory!

By fletch Thursday, October 16th, 2008

Readers! I know that fletch.cx has been pretty quiet recently, in fact it has been surviving on former glories. Most of August and the whole of September were manic, socially brilliant but financially crippling and as I’ve mentioned before, it’s hard to find time to write about things when you’re so busy doing them.

Despite considerable effort to do fuck-all in October, so far I have been a bit more active than I would have liked, I’ve also become loathe to put too much in the diary for next month since I’m now focusing on recouping physically (this week getting to the gym and going running for the first time in about 6 months) as well as saving a bit of cash – the credit crunch is upon us of course!

It’s been two years since I moved down to London which is interesting because 24 months has historically been the length of time that passes before I start getting bored. Recently I’ve been feeling the urge for a bit of a change, nothing drastic like moving countries or even just towns (although they’ve both briefly crossed my mind) but I kind of feel like I’m ready for something.

My girlfriend Jen is moving to London from glorious Manchester and the idea of moving out of DJ Towers to get a flat together had more than crossed my mind, it would have leant itself very well to the recouping mentioned above as well as generally fitting in more with what I’m after thesedays. I wondered if this was the change I’d been looking for. who knows!

I’m a big fan of never trying to repeat endeavours past. I had a wicked time at uni but once it was over that was it – time to move on. I had a job for a while after that which was good too but then I packed it in and took a year out to travel. After that I wanted a base so I chose London, got another job and that has been awesome. Now I’m kind of ready for whatever comes next. Which leads me onto BIG LONDON NEWS! bong! bong!

Cook and Myself are saying goodbye to the famous DJ Towers! The landlord recently requested the unreasonable rent increase of £90 *per week* and he doesn’t seem to have done the research we’ve done because for that proposed new total you can really upgrade… so fuck it, we did ;)

The new DJ pied-a-terre is above , in all it’s roof-gardened glory but I’ve quite purposely left the spiciest bit till last, there will now be a third flatmate in the DJ household… Jen is joining the clan too – a fresh injection into the ‘towers!

So the perfect solution surely, a house upgrade in every sense of the word. There’s a garage, a roof garden, three floors in between and the sort of kitchen and bathroom Kevin McCloud would come in his pants for.

We move in December the first. Watch this space! (and if anyone can come up with a new name for the abode… suggestions in the comments please!)
