#AND THE STORIES I HAVE HEARD JESUS CHRIST 😭😭😭 SQUALOR I TELL YOU

[hella1975]

i used to have such a romanticised idea of nottingham like my dad used to go there to work back when he was in his 'not see my family for six days of the week' grind and id be DEAD CERTAIN in my child's mind that he was like. hanging out with robin hood and shit like i genuinely just assumed nottingham was still all fields and castles. and now im like oh. yeah no that's notts. yeah someone tested the floor of one of the clubs there and it came back positive for chlamydia. yeah

#like robin hood is one of my mum's fave folktales for some reason like she's watched every single movie adaptation #particularly that one with alan rickman #so growing up i think i assumed nottingham like. wasn't real? like it was part of the myth? #and when my dad very casually was like 'yeah im going to nottingham' i was like YOU FUCKING WHAT?!?!?! #the fact i still remember that single conversation rn so viscerally is a testament to how baffled i was bc i was like. six #AND NOW MY UNI CITY IS NEXT DOOR AND NOTTS IS THE BEST NIGHT OUT IN THE UK #SO A LOT OF MY MATES GO QUITE REGULARLY (IVE ACTUALLY STILL NEVER BEEN BUT WEVE BEEN MEANING TO) #AND THE STORIES I HAVE HEARD JESUS CHRIST 😭😭😭 SQUALOR I TELL YOU #sorry to anyone from notts reading this my flatmate from last year was from notts and he's actually a decent guy even if he's ginger #im sure you're lovely people #hella goes to uni
