someone found the bank on google maps like three years ago. it's around the corner from some metal and glass memorial to tesla, elephant and castle. he moved out of that bank ages ago, i'm sure, so probably no harm in digging up the address...

genuinely appreciate the nfoz. however, i'm afraid you binned a topic containing this information as little as three years ago for being "creepy" or something, so this is "Welcome to 2009" at least

...and, that's not even the bank anyways:
"I'm a Londoner, and I think you're mixing the two different places he lived in London.
Hackney/Stoke Newington is in north London (north of the river) and he lived in a normal house there (I remember him talking in an interview about the other people in the street complaining about all the noise from his house) Presumably the '98 Stoke Newington' you mention was the address of that place. I think he lived there around the Hangable Auto Bulb - RDJ Album kind of era. I think this was also the place where he was flatmates with Global Goon.
Then he got fed up with the neighbours and bought a bank in the Elephant and Castle area in south London (south of the river). The bank had a soundproof vault that he wanted to use as a studio. Though apparently there were rats in the vault, which caused a problem, so I don't know if he ever got it sorted out in there. This was in the time between RDJ and Druqks. I think he lived there until quite recently, maybe a year or two ago?
I remember in an interview he said that it was near the Ministry of Sound club, because he said the queue for the club sometimes went past his building and he would drop stuff on them.
Ministry of Sound: 103 Gaunt Street Lambeth SE1 6DP
Elephant and Castle is quite a run-down area, there are lots of empty/little used office buildings there, and a really horrible shopping centre. But probably a good place to live if you're a reclusive musician."

I never said the address was the bank's address, did I?
Considering the man himself gave me the address to send parcels to, I'd consider it a legitimate address of his (at one time).

SECRET 1: All posts in this thread are being made on Macintosh Performas using the bank's LAN, during breaks of playing Bolo and Marathon 2.
SECRET 2: RDJ smokes up with Whoopi Goldberg, which was a huge influence in the vibes of SAW Vol II.
SECRET 3: XLT is the result of a joint project between the Hungarian and South Korean government.

So you're implying you still live in 2001 by posting his older pre-bank address, while you appear to respond to someone discussing his newer bank address?
Welcome to 2001, I guess. Wasn't that the year you had your last contact with mr. " quite good" James?
