Seabag

I only wonder had Bowiee been born somewhat later he'd have discovered the EDF , signing on with the ZiggyStardust handle

JRK You're bin 'thing' is both worrying and fascinating me in equal measure

Yeah yeah, and the bun's in the oven

Closer to home, Hilly Fielders U12's beat Orpinton in yellow shirts (or whatever they are called) 3-1 Well done to the boys, it was a great come back from 1 nil down at half time, with Seabag JNR scoring the leveller (it was a corker) and helping the team win in good spirit I seem to get more joy at these games than anything I see on TV Well played the Arsenal tho

Maybe the few times I went blighted my view

I googled #BinPorn and thought better of it Oh the filth you find online *washes tongue, says Hail Mary's*

Sadly this place had all the nuts and bolts to pull off some high-camp tea, coffee and cake drama. The interior was good and slightly OTT, if only the service offer matched, it would have worked wonders I work close to the industry and this is my own view, from observation. Owners from the top down inspire or sour a business. The best restaurants and cafe's etc are like mini theatres, knowing when to be 'on show & ready to perform' it's a twice daily service driven industry mostly. A great many places I see behind the scenes are sometimes boiling up in the wings, but they know how to perform with a 'face' and in fact, it's an amazing art form when done well If you want to see a fully immersed team on 'show' then The Colbert in Sloane Square does it very well. You can have Tea and Coffe and little else if you like. For highly orchestrated 'attention' then the Chilternfire house was an eye opener. The Merchants tavern in Shoreditch is good and very cosy for a sizeable place. And Cafe Murano in Covent Garden is a getaway place for lunch with gentle and warm service But even the most simple and basic cafe can show how it should be done. The Oak at Honour oak serves all the classic stuff and does it really well, they want to be nice to you, they smile and you get what you want. Pretty basic and simple. I often wonder if new owners take a tour to see what's on offer and how it's done. I'm not sure they do always Oh and, one of the most ghastly personal experiences was at that Market Place 'place' in Crystal Palace. I had to check if they had cameras and Ricky Gervais wasn't filming there, it was so bad on so many levels Good luck if anyone takes it on, it's got lots of potential

She had the same M.O with her neighbours and traders in the locality No one will miss her "off the record" tho they'll smile at her face and say "Oh such a shame" whilst thinking 'thank fekk for that'

Like, what else you doing Assassins Creed?

The whole vibe was awkward and prickly, much like the Fiat 500 driving woman who ran 'the place that can't be mentioned' I often wonder why people who don't like people set up cafes and the like Good riddance Next?

Trading standards here Lou Organic or free range or anything like that can't be mis-sold The law's there for such things And come on, what's that 'proper' cafe I love in Bellenden called, is it Crossways? The place where the sausages are the exploding micro minced slightly dextrose sweet porky rusk type. Utter crap but so cheap it's hilarious Now we can't compare that kind of 'like with like' can we, I'm all for kidding myself to some degree, but let's have it right, hang over or no hangover , that stuff scores high on the crap-o-meter

You can argue until the cows come home As long as a sausage or a pie is sausage or pie shaped, then it's a sausage or a pie. End of, no good trying to beat around the bush If a breakfast from a cafe is breakfast from a cafe shaped, then it's a breakfast from a cafe Wine comes in bottles, with a cap or cork. If it's got a cap or cork in and it's full up , it's wine Don't let your silly numbfuck ideas about where the pie/sausage/wine was made get you distracted from the facts Your a bunch of micro mugs thinking otherwise. I am not

I've grown > the blackcurrants!! But it's such a gripping read, much like the Archers of late I'd be only wondering 'what would happen' if I wasn't reading it. Can you include a land grab or some cattle breaking out in Lower Bellenden, to jushhhhh the story up a bit. Maybe a (contained) fire at the distillery where Ol' Fox Grundy puts the fire out by talking about his shop so much he starves the fire of oxygen
