in response to good runner, needs a little work

Peter: Amy, thanks for giving me your IP address... now i know who you are! re: "speaking as if they never have been in school"... well, you might want to brush up on the grammatical uses of "their/they're" before you go criticizing the way other people talk... i mean, think about it....

in response to Crip/Blood Graffiti: Washington Heights

American Wanker: its closeminded intolerant talk like where "Amy from KY" says "And you mother fuckers need to speak English. because this is America. Not Africa, not London, not any other country" that makes the rest of the world hate americans and get alienated by our backwards opinions and unfair feelings of...

in response to sometimes they won\'t hold still

Peter: amy: what are you referring to when you say "this is america"...? this site? because how do you know where this site is, or where anyone here is from? check the list of localities on this site: www.citynoise.org/hoods.php america is hardly a majority. so take your redneck anti-diversity elsewhere.

in response to Crip/Blood Graffiti: Washington Heights

liz: yo amy i feel ya dogg... all these bitches aint shit, let em come to the project's and really see wut's up holla!

in response to Crip/Blood Graffiti: Washington Heights

prisma: so much packaging on those meats and cheeses. a definite far cry from the day that such victuals were packed in waxy papers and sheets of butcher's oilcloth. my how the world changes. everything just gets tossed into the rubbish bins and forgotten now.

in response to Meat & Graf

prisma: woah i see the robot in it. thats pretty kewl to visualise it like so.

Peter: check this one out... puttin the "city" in citynoise :)

in response to good runner, needs a little work

elaine: fab.

in response to My Old Office

elaine: yeah, put work up. i felt constrained by the 'city' tag at first, but posted the dungeness thing anyway and brighton beach, you have to stretch things if you can, parameters, whatever. it's part of the rules

in response to good runner, needs a little work

Peter: www.citynoise.org/article/231 is that it?

in response to Bow E2

elaine: hasslehoff, you have a slightly revolting imagination. i have noticed this about you before.

in response to Bow E2

never ask a woman: her age??

in response to good runner, needs a little work

Peter: Jamie- I'll make some of the most decay-filled urban shots for you this week if you'll make some of the most rural ones of lincolnshire! id love to see that shit. i mean, you see it every day, so its no big deal, but me... i have no clue what...

in response to good runner, needs a little work

elaine: i am fond of it all. that is part of why i live here. some part of me thinks i should be a grown up and try to be more middle class, but most of me can't even finish that sentence. i have always been attracted to the postapocalyptic vision...

in response to good runner, needs a little work

hasslehoff: dig it out of te site that is. not my head.

in response to Bow E2

hasslehoff: i am also interested. i am stuck in rural lincolnshire for the forseeable future and dearly miss urban decay and random violence and vandalism.

in response to good runner, needs a little work

Peter: eh, i find urban decay fascinating... especially stuff from europe.

in response to good runner, needs a little work

hasslehoff: also: this is an eerie dopelganger of a photo of toronto from hool posted somehwhere on this iste. i can see it in my head but i cant find it. 10 bonus points for the first person to dig it out.

in response to Bow E2

elaine: nice! i've photographed canary wharf loads of times, but never got anything like that kind of look going, it's kind of retrofuturist

in response to Bow E2

hasslehoff: wow, this has a certain ethereal quality to it. And liking seeing more photos from east london to complement elaine's ones.

in response to Bow E2

elaine: it might only be you who is interested in this, though peter. it's not exactly creative in itself, although it makes qute a good subject for a photo shoot. what i wish i had done was made the 2 contextualising photos, the top and bottom ones smaller, and separated them...

in response to good runner, needs a little work

Peter: www.s-h-systems.co.uk/tourism/london/map.html is a good site for those of us unfamilar with the postcode-sorted districts of london. i think burnt cars are the enw graf trux, heh... we certainly have enough psoted here. im going to try to ferret some out in brooklyn this weekend. wil lreturn with photos!

in response to good runner, needs a little work

in response to good runner, needs a little work

elaine: i have become more futurama identified lately due to the insistant dvd playing of my brother at xmas, and because of a terrible thing they did to the simpsons.yes, i have stopped watching it becase they moved it from bbc to channel 4 which means there is not only adverts...

in response to robot building

elaine: jamie, at least your story is probably not poisining you! being selfish as i am, there is a huge part of me that could not give a toss about any of this, but you would not believe the stink that comes in, and it's buggered up my culinary herbs in...

in response to good runner, needs a little work

Peter: ahh yes, the grabber claw:

in response to good runner, needs a little work

Jamie: heh, weird i'm in the middle of writing a story about the very subject of dealing with scrap cars. it's more interesting than i make it sound.

in response to good runner, needs a little work

elaine: yes, so my council tax that i pay, personally and so on, this pays for the fire engine and all the handsome men, so that is not so bad i suppose, some payoff, and then the next day a truck with a grabber comes to get. no police, by the...

in response to good runner, needs a little work

elaine: well done, that researcher! well our little visitor seems to have fitted fairly nicely into the MO - late at night your time, lateish here, and certainly not a hot time on citynoise, i happened to look because i had the site up having posted the lovely car for you,...

in response to A Found Note

Peter: totally!

in response to Brooklyn: Labor Day 2004

Peter: oh, i get it... heh. so do they just leave the burned out shells for the city to remove?

in response to good runner, needs a little work

elaine: no! no, say you want to get rid of your old heap, you would now have to pay to have it scrapped, i think it cost me a couple of hundred quid last time. if you are 'well connected' you pay your local dodgey villain something, he torches it, and...

in response to good runner, needs a little work

Peter: woah. i mean, why does he do it, if he doesnt benefit? just so he can burn cars for vandalism and know that the person will still have their car paid for by insurance? weeeeeird. though similar things happen here, heh. for example, here and here (which are of the...

in response to good runner, needs a little work

she-snailie_@_v: _@_v - son of a bitch! i knew i shoulda went with the factory replacement but noooo i had to go and get a cheap modified ford crown victoria gas tank from offa ebay...

in response to good runner, needs a little work

elaine: as if by magic

in response to Back of a Building

elaine: well, this just came out of our hijacking of hool's lovely posting of back of a building which we started off playing nice, then degenerated into me showing and telling about the local torch artist. you have to go back to the inception of a form of gambling called 'car...

in response to good runner, needs a little work

Peter: the express here in nyc looks very similar. post-postmodern glassy curtain walls. consumerist architecture at its blandest.

in response to art deco echo

Mahir: I like the colors in the fishy picture. They are so vibrant, you must be have a very good camera equipment to take such vivid photographs. I like the feel of your photography very much here.

hasslehoff: Hey, if the sun is out then its summer as far as i'm concerened. Its interesting to note how the national mood shifts so radically with the seasons.

in response to Springfields: Mayday

elaine: i know. i've become a bit of a connoisseur, lately, and while i am enjoying the depth of the burn i am all of a tut tut at the MO

in response to good runner, needs a little work

elaine: damn right BST is the full six months as far as i am concerned

Peter: paul g, there are no aliases here, save for the "editors" name that jamie and i both use for editorial/tutorial comments, just for the purpose of simplicity and implied (but still anonymous) authority on this login-less site where we try to keep hierarchy and competition to a minimum (thus the...
