Think one of these vids of London was posted on here before, dunno if it's the same one. Good nostalgia value.

I dont think there is anything wrong at all. Its natural to be attracted to developed girls whatever age they are.

The majority of people are strong enough to ignore the thoughts, however most people will still think them. Clearly this guy couldnt, call it desperation if you will but you cannot stop natural chemical reactions going off in your brain.

Theres a moral question regards his position, but its not sick, its only sick because the media tell you it is. 100 years ago this would have been acceptable.

Absolutely beautiful.

Also if you think London wasn't full of all ethinicitys back then, then you are severely mistaken. It's just the amount of people now it appears so much more.

I love the Dunlop Ads and how big the Tower looks. It's so dwarfed now, but it looks so amazing and spacious. I would give anything to spend a day there in that time

What does your mate with the knowledge about the world ending last year think about this?

I love seeing stuff like this in colour because it's obviously normally black and white until much more recently.

There was a black MP a few years before or after that IIRC. Hardly rare. Then there is Chinatown,
Jewish quarter etc... That's where Jack the Ripper ran away through after one of the murders. Hugely diverse unsurprisingly as its a shipping/port town on the sea. You will find globally that there is a common trend for most ports etc being ethinically diverse.
