Sounds like a great flat, with a serious flaw.

That's exactly what it is. I don't stand to gain financially from getting anyone to take my place so I can be up front and stuff. Everything's great about the flat except the landlord, though I think if I had been warned to watch him it might've been OK. So it's a judgment call for you basically. If you have absolutely nothing else in your life that is stressful, you'll be able to cope with this landlord, but otherwise I'd be careful. The big draw is the relatively low rent and the VIP koko access.
Few pictures lying around my computer regrettably none of them give a sort of general idea:

Do you sign a lease? Just wave it in his face when he hassles. Then kill him.

bet you had a great view of the fire.
yeh there's a lease. unfortunately once you tell the landlord he's in breach, and he continues breaching, waddyagunnado except move out huh :( Ugly business. Ugh. But yeh if you can handle being this guy's bitch I don't think you'll find a better place (and he's a big rugby type too. I often think rugby is like the antithesis of the fixed gear scene)...anyway anyone live in Dalston? I think that's where we're going.

That comprehensively rules me out, then.

That is not true, at all. I fscking love rugby. Play it, watch it, etc. So much fscking better than shitty football. (even though I quite like playing that and watching the Irons).
(actually I just kinda like sport).But I disagree with your point of view.

yeh whatever floats your boat. if I had to pick a ball game it would def. be rugby actually. i just prefer more outdoorsy/non-team stuff myself. though if you could race like, giant bikes with 8 seats, I would be into that.

I may imminently be departing my flat in Camden. Is anyone interested in moving in to take my place?
FLAT: very small, but totally pimped out flat 100 yards from Mornington Crescent tube. A few feet from the backstage entrance at Koko so that when there is a gig on you can literally mosey over backstage and watch for half an hour or so and then go back to the kitchen and have a beer. So you get lots of ruckus outside the flat, roadies unloading etc., but it makes it more interesting, I mean it's why I'm here, plus informally the people at Koko usually let you in free to keep you quiet about it. Flat has top-notch security and is totally kitted out with everything you'll need. So it's a pretty cool flat. Oh yeah there is also a gigantic fish tank like 8 feet by 4 feet that acts as a wall between the kitchen and the living room, which we don't have to look after at all.
BIKE FRIENDLY: well yeah I keep two bikes in my room and it's not a problem...
FLATMATES: 2 others plus two well-trained kittens: one flatmate is the live-in landlord. He's 23 and is son of the owner. He's a dick and a fraudster, but if you go into the flatshare knowing this it might help. Anyway that's why I'm leaving. There will also be another tenant. We don't know who, because the other tenant at the moment is leaving with me.
RENT: sure, the landlord's a dick, but this is like the good thing about the flat, it's completely pimped and in an awesome location and the rent is only £650 pcm including all bills.
OTHER ISSUES: there are two vacancies in the flat and we might move out in a week, or we might move out in like a month, depending on when you're able to move in and when we can find somewhere else.
OH YEAH: if anyone knows of a good flat in North London with two vacancies going for about £650pcm for each person, can you let me know...
