So I'm homeless. By this weekend, I will have nowhere to stay, because my lovely landlady has decided that having a TS person around is too much of a bother after all, so she's gone ahead and kicked me out. Illegally, but since she knows I've only got three months left on my visa, the dear can do so with impunity.

So my avatar pic is dedicated to her. It's a Banksy graffiti'd on a wall near where I work. If you can name the major tube station near which it resides, you get ... well nothing, except the knowledge of how unfathomably cool you are for knowing who Banksy is ...

~Simone

Banksy is a Graffiti artist here in London who has achieved huge notoriety for his extremely cool artwork.

Here are some of my favourites...

Thanks Ell honey,

I really don't know. She waited till just after rent day to chuck me, and I'm having to find her a new tenant or she has threatened to keep my deposit as well. So until I get that back or payday ... end of the month, I'm kinda stuck. I have a friend here in London I can stay with for a few days, but he's answerable to a landlord himself, so I can't stay there indefinitely.

But I should be okay. If worst comes to worst, I should be able to go stay in a dorm-style student lodge or something for a week or two ... sharing with guys ... *shudder*

Aw, honey. Thank you. Hopefully I won't need to be a bother, but you have no idea how much that means to me.

Very warm. There may be more than one of these scattered about. Mine is in central, if that helps.

nah, no pebbledashing there

In the names of the gods, that's just plain awful, Simone. 

I hope things work out and you get your deposit back, too.

Meet me on YIM. My god, honey.

Hehe. One more clue before I put you out of your misery:

In best gameshow host voice:

This famous tubestation was also featured in a big-budget Hollywood feature film starring the world's most famous Scientologist!

Quotenah, no pebbledashing there

Forgive my utter density, but as a South African cast upon the lonely shores of foreign England... Wha?

where the pebbles are imbedded in the concrete, as they seem to be on your picture.


... Liverpool Street
Central, Circle, Bakerloo and Hammersmith and City lines and mainline rail...

Yay! By Jove, I think they've got it!

change of mind. and i hope there is something that the law can do to stop her from kicking you out like that

Hi Simone,

   You should rat out your landlady.  Just make a complaint to screw her over.

    Banksy is my hero.

I have been considering that Rebis ... After I have my deposit back.

On the other hand though, do I really want to sink to her level of pettiness?

... And Banksy is my hero too.

Yes.  You do.

   In your case, it would not be pettiness if you do it out of righteousness rather than vengeance.  If the woman feels she can just throw you out, then she will be telling her friends about it and other T people may get streeted.
   It is an educational move.  To educate that woman and others like her that we are people and we have rights too.

   If you don't do anything, that's okay too.  I'm certainly not going to try to guilt you into something you don't feel comfortable doing.  The odds of me doing it myself would be 50/50 depending upon my mood.

   If Bansky were here, he'd paint a rat on her face.

   My favorite Banksy is the one with the rats that says "Our time will come" or something similar.

Oh dear, that's terrible! No matter what you do, you should give her a good shouting-at, for good measure. I'm sure it can't be within the boundaries of the law either, what she did, but it's true that you might regret taking it to court after all.

In any case, I hope you'll let her know how pissed you are at her ^^'

And I hope you do find a place to sleep...gawd, but I hope you do.

Also, that art is awesome.


~Moi

Banksy rocks!

What the hell!?!? Simone honey I'm sorry to hear this, I'm in Arizona USA, but if I can do anything, please e-mail me

(i wasn't very cool, but now i am cus' you've all educated me on Banksy, thank you, awesome!!!)

She's already proved that she can't be trusted.  What makes you think that once you find her a new tenant, you actually will get your deposit back?
