has it been fed to civets first?

[El Pibe]

great x post ;)

[numbers]

oh god where has Woody disappeared to? This thread was made for him. I'd love to see his take on it.

Also, that of Ted Max and Hooch. Sob.

[uncleglen]

I would be totally embarassed if my kids did something like this.....(I would consider myself a total failure in the parent department)

[Jeremy]

Yeah. Much better they take a job with PWC or JP Morgan. That's the key to a joyful life!

[MrBen]

PWC....

*shudders*

[Jocky]

I was in the Gowlett last night and there were a few Peckham Hipsters around. Some of them look like they've gone through their Grandparent's Wardrobe with a blindfold on.

[RosieH]

That's Jonny Gowlett.

And his art student chums.

Really, I don't know where they get the audacity.

[uncleglen]

Who is PWC?..

[Jah Lush]

Price Waterhouse Coopers.

Sorry I guess you're an expert on London? You must have been here since the dawn of time and know everything about the place. Or maybe you're a Home Counties blow in who's lived here for 5 seconds who thinks that qualifies you to put everyone else down who disagrees with you. The jury is out.

"Where's your Haggis?" I asked my butcher.

"Sold out already" he said "...it's because of these hipsters".

[Earl Aelfheah]

I didn't know there was a haggis / hipster link, but guess it explains the name 'Hops, Burns and Black'.

[MrBen]

Burns Night ticks all the boxes for hipster appropriation. Heritage, quirky and always slightly off the mainstream....unless you're Scottish of course. If you're a hipster such traditions are so important but need to be celebrated with suitable irony. Until it goes back our fashion again.

There is a man with a huge beard somewhere in Hackney Wick no doubt plotting a Haggis Cafe.

[StraferJack]

Haggerston/Haggiston Road would be perfect location.. for a new cafe called "Haggis A Bite"

[MrBen]

StraferJack. You'll wind up Rosie if you're not careful.

[david_carnell]

Al the waiters have to have one leg shorter than the other - perfect for getting people on ESA back into work! ;-)

[red devil]

Don't fret MrB, Ocado are selling 'Burns Night Bundles', you'll have to supply your own beard and plaid shirt though...

Nah, I just find it kind of sad that people of a similar age have turned into my dad back when I was a teenager.

"Call that bloody music? what do you think you look like? Look at his hair! garlic? on bread?"

I'm hoping that I manage not to turn into MrBen for just a little while longer.

[MrBen]

Arf!

Back to cereal cafe in my onesie it is....

[RosieH]

Heh, MrB, one of these days I'm taking you out round Hackney Wick, we're going to do some vaginal knitting and drink mead and dance to the Frog Chorus, and my how we'll laugh about what a spiffing time we had on the two-hour three-bus journey home.

[Jah Lush]

You'd better start growing that beard now Mr Ben or they won't let you in.

[Otta]

I would absolutely love to be in a state of mind to dance to the frog chorus. That sounds like a happy place to be.
