Part 34 : Work Week 1

2 months and a bit of living in London and partying up with Iax, Phil and Rohan and now I'm starting to run low on cash. I've also run out of free liberty time of staying at Iax's. I managed to crash at my cousin Loraines place for a week or 2 but then she and her house mates were also moving out so I desperately need to get a place of my own. With work starting on Driving Wars in the next few week or 2 and time at my cousins running out I managed to sneak in a few viewings here and there and found a fairly cheap place in Islington where I could stay.

The guy who ran the place was Emmanuel from Kenya. I don't have any kinds of problems against African people at all since my two nephews and my niece, my brother in law and a few friends of mine are all from Africa, I however should have known better to get involved in business with this Kenyan guy, and by business I really meant he being my landlord and there being some sort of money involved.

I had moved all my stuff in via two trips across the city from Acton to islington and also through the tube which wasn't too nice but it got the job done in the end. The room was literally a room and the place had 8 or so rooms with a large share kitchen but no living space. This just meant that everyone kept in their rooms resulting in a very unsocial experience. When I checked the place the only thing that I really asked for was a internet connection which several times he stated that "yes of course there is the internet, they are all professional people how can you be professional and not have the internet"…there was not internet. :( massively disappointed.

Once I had gotten back from the first block of shooting he called to tell me that he was in breach of his mortgage agreement with the local council and that he couldn't have multiple leases for the one property and had to lease to 1 lease holder. In the end I was simply quite happy to leave and be rid of him and his constant everyday calling and shitty rental property.

On the other hand I had started work and was doing data on a cool TV series called Driving Wars and finally earning some pounds.
