The only thing allowed to pass your lips with a pint is a cigarette (preferably unfiltered).

A lot of what people may assume to be contrived, self conscious behaviour is often the opposite - a naive playfulness, a lack of concern about what others think. Conversely, being unreasonably concerned with (and overtly critical of) what others are doing, belies a real sense of self consciousness. It hints at repression of the true self, a pretentiousness, in the literal sense. In other words, I think keekybreeks is secretly a hipster. He certainly seems to be in the mindset of a hipster. That rusk cafe for example... it could be a goer you know KB.

Have a tipple on any nearby roof terrace or in any hostelry garden near GBK when they start cooking - there is a foul smell pumped out from the age-old and rancid oil they keep using. Perhaps there is a chemical in the nuts that prevents one vomming the mouldy fries?


I know these places are really just for kids but change the oil now and again eh?

This link refers to an inspection in 2010.


Not saying the place has gone downhill in the 5 years since, or that it wouldn't pass today - just that when they fire-up of an evening there is a nasty stink coming from their chimney. Maybe it's not the oil, perhaps they burn off yesterday's meat products from their griddle and send the burnt-beefy pollution heavenwards. I just nose it smells bad.


Re-shit sparkling, I remember the first time I used a loo in a flat in Cologne to find they have that 'shelf' arrangement where things 'sit' before being flushed away and was told by mein host (titter) that it was to inspect the-... no I can't go on.

So you would sooner be


a) a hipster mate of yours


b) an internet based construct of artifice that probabaly lives in Whistable, avoids washing and shares a bedsit with 32 cats

Arf!


I suspect KB has had a career punting whatever the latest fad is to the consuming public masses and having seen it from the other side he's suitably sceptical if not a tad jaded.


On the subject of burgers, it's not news but I tried Burger Bear at Old Nunhead last night but home delivered via Deliveroo and it was top notch. Deliveroo is proving life changing.

Kitchen 54 is fab. They do a good veggie breakfast hash and an amazing mushroom & avocado sub. I've not tried their waffles because the subs are quite filling, but they look delicious.

I'm pleased that more people are getting to know about them because the few times I've been in there at lunch time, they've been empty. The location isn't that good but it's well worth a visit.

Just wanted to put a recommendation in for Byron Burger. I went to visit friends in Exeter at the weekend and they decided we should eat here. I was pretty apprehensive considering my view on GBK and the like, but I was surprisingly impressed. Thankfully I wasn't paying, and yes you get what you pay for and the food was delicious, but the best part of 14 quid for burger and chips? Anyway, I won't rant. It was lovely and if anyone wants to take me again I'm up for it (but I won't be paying for it myself).

Louisa is an Exeter Blow-in LOL..


Byron Burger has always a good reputation. They have one at Bluewater but I have not tried it.

But then I'm not a big Burger person.


Could make an exception for you though Lou. ;-)


That would give the 'Burgers' something to talk about. :)

Byron is far better than GBK. The cheapest burger and fries comes to ?10, so similar price to GBK or any of the local pubs. Shame we don't have anywhere nearby to get a decent burger (other than Burger Bear at the Nun's Head a couple of times a week, as MrBen mentioned).

There's one in Clapham rah, and ditto what Jeremy said above. If you're a fan of medium- rare burgers you'll be highly impressed. The meat was melt in the mouth. Various options around chip sizes and whether or not they've got jackets on etc and probably the nicest onion rings ive ever tasted.


Foxy when you taking me? Lol

      Be careful on the pavements...

      By Dave 3 · Posted

      It’s a 4 year old on a bike do you really think he is going 15mph. Grown adults complaining about a child who probably isn’t able to string a few sentences together says a lot about the people in this forum. If this member was hit from behind the father was probably walking behind the bike so I don’t get the point of stretching out an overreaction from a child in Nursery bumping into you. Grow up Obviously a four year old should be cycling on the pavement.

      Malumbu,  if none of us were there, does that mean that nobody should post anything on here unless they have witnesses from the EDF? Why would someone post something like this if it  wasn't true? This is not about whether children should or should not be cycling on the pavement. There are specific issues. a) the child was out of sight of the person supposed to be caring for him b) he appears to have been  either not looking where he was going or was out of control of the bike c) if he did see that he was about to hit someone  he apparently did not give them any kind of warning  d)  a person was unexpectedly hit from behind whilst just walking along, which in my view makes him a victim e) does the title of the thread really matter as the issue was described in the first post?  f) nobody is blaming the child, they are blaming the person who should have been watching him g) do you really think it was acceptable for that person to find the situation funny? The OP was not complaining about the 4 year old. They were complaining about an adult's lack of supervision of a 4 year old who was not capable of riding a bike and who hit someone from behind with no warning. Also, apart from reading the OP more carefully, perhaps also choose your words more carefully. Jobless? Lunatic? Charming.

      I have to say, I too am upset about the passing of DulwichFox. He was a real local character, who unlike me, managed to stick with ED despite all of the nauseous yuppification of the last three decades. R.I.P to foxy    Louisa.
