THIS.


The only thing I'd add to it is PROTIP: Get fresh fish. And I'm not talking 3 day old fish that's been sat on a fishmarket, I'm talking so fresh that you can still taste the saltwater. Zushi isn't as complicated as you'd think, the SUPER SECRET METHOD is to ensure that you don't overcook the rice, that can be the dealbreaker between a dish that is OM NOM NOM to a dish that is MEH. Get some nice rice wine vinegar and you're pretty much set to go.

Zushi is better than Sashimi IMO, because you can cook whatever fish you're using without offending the Japanese Gods. If you're dead set on eating raw and you're all about Sashimi, I'd say go Hotate-gai, it's like eating fishy steak.

I thought Boho bar was crap when I went for a couple of drinks recently. No door policy, random punters, pointless screen, not good. Shame because if it was more discerning as to who it let in, and a few details were adjusted I'm sure it could be a fine little place.

Popped in for 20 minutes or so early last Friday evening and had what was supposed to be a Mai Tai. Dreadful. Absolutely nothing like one and it came in the smallest glass imaginable. It's supposed to have three different rums in for feck's sake. Half empty and a dull ambience. Must try much much harder.

So who had it let in (apart from you of course) and why do you think they didn't deserve to be there?


Who do you think should be let in, and why?

This is exactly what I was wondering. I have absolutely zero interest in drinking in a bar with a "discerning door policy". In fact if you're so picky about who you drink with, why bother leaving the house at all?

They let me in with my depressed divoercee friend (bad choice), they let in a group of 6 pissed up large argumentative geezers (bad choice), they let in some very bored looking old men (bad choice) and the 12 or so trendy good looking young girls and boys that wandered in wandered straight out again because of the low quality punters that were in there.

So basically they let everybody in.

So you think they should only let in "high quality punters", which by your definition appear to be:


Trendy

Good looking

Young


??????


Have I understood you correctly?


Do you think they should have some kind of "good looks detector" on the door, and maybe ask everybody for proof of age in case they're over - what? 25???


Oh, and vet their clothes in case they've strayed off trend?

      Fireworks

      By Sue · Posted

      I'd have thought they could use some of  their income from hiring out a large part of Brockwell Park in the summer (therefore, as I understand it, preventing local residents from using much of it) to put on a firework display there  in the autumn which might somewhat make up to those residents for the previous loss of use of the park. And also generate goodwill.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By Sue · Posted

      Clicking on your name, I see you've made seven posts on here since you joined  around four years ago, and they've all been about local libraries. And none of the posts are  very pleasant. Care to share with the rest of us where  your particular interest in libraries comes from? Do you work in one of them?

      Recommendation for a decorator in Dulwich/Peckham/Nunhead - Kam 07949 507412

      By Charlie15 · Posted

      Kam was with us last week to wallpaper a bedroom. He was a pleasure to deal with and did a fantastic job - very neat and matched the tricky pattern very well. Would certainly use again.

      Dulwich library closing for refurbishment

      By TittyMaster · Posted

      What a bunch of pieholes. 2025 and you peasants have nothing to be grateful for. I have been inside the library recently and honestly the old girl is crying for a facelift, the goddamn carpet looks like it survived the world war and some. The Library is one of the oldest in Southwark and you are crying about a study place? What a bunch of bullshit. You have libraries all around you for your kids to go their studying you rotten sausage. How about be happy that the library is going to look absolutely stunning rather than be a whining bitch about it   Also, I have been told that the staffs have to work in the smaller libraries together. How do you think they feel?
