Other times Clapham came up

  1. He was a badden. he was a bad fucking legend free thinker outside the box kind of guy but still this didn't hold him back that much because he moved to one of the nicest houses in Clapham it was this really beautiful mansion he moved to that's not the point of the fact it's been replaced by flats now so you can't go and visit it but if you would that's weird and you should be on a terror.

  4. Do you know something else that has a Venn diagram on it in tribute is if you live in Clapham in London, or you've ever been to Clapham, there's Venn Street, which you might know, it's got Venn Street records on it, which are you like, and that's named after not John Venn after his grandfather, who happened to be the reverend.
