The first street to reside in the series of Bizarrestreets is Langley Lane, in Ifield, Crawley, which is at present home to Mr Charles Ball myself.

Name: Langley Lane

Location: Ifield, Crawley, Sussex, England, UK, Europe, Planet Earth

Langley Lane is located in the very villagey part of Ifield (though Ifield also has a shitty part), in Crawley it is a very different world to the rest of the bland, soulless, dodgy, London like town that is Crawley. For starters it has a unique Quaker room meeting house, that is almost like a court house a much better place to decide the action on Crawleys ASBOs. It is a long but dead end street, so you don't get much traffic going through unless some clowns have taken a wrong turning thinking its a through road. But it still somehow along with a few other streets nearby manages to retain the Sussex character though it is slowly getting Londonized, and found most of the locals are foreign. As you come in you will notice a fine surgery called Langley Corner surgery, where all kinds of people with in 10-15 miles of the surgery seem to go for treatment (including even Wayne Henderson). Anyway the biggest claim to fame the street has is that it is the place where the book for the Alfred Hitchcock movie Dial M for Murder was written in a house called Belgair house now demolished. Other residents of the street include

 Peter Crouch, Charles Ball, Kevin Holman, Eamonn Rea, John Trice, David Niblett, and Wallace and Gromit.

I have lived in the street for about 7-8 months, and is not a bad place but hope to get out of here and escape soon. LOL

Well a mixed last week, was worryed towards the end of last week, the fact I was struggling to get early day meals sorted out. Luckily all has sorted and hopefully will ease the slight financial mess I have been in. I am looking forward to the Open Day at the University of Sussex on Saturday. Plus I am settling down to my new role as the moderator of the Brighton section of Rivals.net fairly well. As for Albion games, I am hoping to attend the Forest game next week, was thinking of Brentford but sadly the Open Day means I can't two do two things at once. Plus am attending to attend the fine hard dance awards at Brixton towards the end of the month, which should be quite cool. Plus for this website I plan to start a spoof Streets section similar to the Argus, where my friends can mention a bit about their street whether its in Sussex or Outside Sussex. I will start off with my wacky street (seeing as a nearby street was mentioned in the Argus today). Oh and by the way check out my latest entrys on rivals.net to see what the website should be called. Anyway I will leave you with this joke.

A drunk is driving through the city and his car is weaving violently all over the road. A cop pulls him over and asks, “Where have you been?”

“I've been to the pub,” slurs the drunk.

“Well,” says the cop, “it looks like you've had quite a few.”

“I did alright,” the drunk says with a smile.

“Did you know,” says the cop, standing straight and folding his arms, “that a few intersections back, your wife fell out of your car?”

“Oh, thank heavens,” sighs the drunk. “For a minute there, I thought I'd gone deaf.”

I have been appointed as the main reporter and moderator of the Brighton and Hove Albion section of Rivals.net, it will involve me writing up reports on BHA matchs and bringing the latest news on the Seagulls. I am taking over from Owen Wilkinson aka Wilka, who has been running the section for the last few years, and is leaving to reestablish his independant BHAFC website. However this will mean I will have to step down as the main moderator of the BHA Myspace Brighton and Hove Albion group, having founded the group in late 2005. Hopefully someone will fancy taking the reins from me for that site. Anyway I look forward to providing news and reports on the club I love.
