Giving up the fags

Inappropriate insertion of Emily Big Brother-esque joke about leaving job in Soho here I’ve been commissioned to write a blog about giving up smoking. This is obviously brilliant, as I am going to be paid to rant about the pointless minutiae of my life, but terrible in that I really like smoking and donR...
How do you deal with the winter blues?

As the nights draw in, and the clocks go back, I always find myself feeling like staying in bed, hiding under my duvet, eating lasagne and chips three times a day and feeling sorry for myself. I am most a summer person, and winter leaves me with a bout of SAD, every time, without fail. Symptoms include being mar...

So there you are, or at least I am, slumped at your (my ? – lost now, let’s talk about you) desk wishing that whatever you did yesterday hadn’t led to mild amnesia and apparently painting the inside of your mouth with yak hair. Various euthanasia tinted requests float past as you contemplate your f...

Recently I went to the National Portrait Gallery restaurant with a couple on their first visit to London, and as well as the excellent food, enjoyed being able to point out things on the skyline and help them get their bearings of the city. Where else in the capital can you go safe in the knowledge that the food mig...

Today Archetype made a treacle tart and bought in to work for us. It is subliminal. I had to be asked to be peeled off the ceiling afterwards. It tastes of lemon too. Fooking gastronominous. What and where is the best purveyor of pie in London? As ever, no filth from you Mockernee. Can you get jellied eel pie...

Hello all Wondering if anyone knew of any decent Lebanese restaurants in London. My dad wants to be taken to one and I am not sure which to go for. Your recommendations normally seem sound so I am going to put myself in your hands.

Everyone knows that chilli is the best thing in the world ever. Quite frankly, those individuals who don’t like chilli should be shot at dawn with rusty fence posts. Now that the fresh pineapple and fresh chilli and fresh salt cult is well established I would like to discover the following: what other crazy th...
Have you been to Green & Blue in Clapham North?

I’ve been a couple of times since it opened and I’m absolutely loving it. It’s just round the corner from Clapham North tube and, if you know the one in Dulwich, it’s like that but a bit smaller. Basically it sells loads of really interesting wines from small producers, but it’s also...

Hi y’all! Now correct me if I’m wrong but the EAT shops are there (mainly) to serve soup to keep starving Londoners (and tourists!) alive and working hard to make this city great. Now I was walking back to my office after a long workout at the gym and fancied the Goulash they were serving at 12.30R...

I’ve lived in London for several years so have a few of these I’d recommend. But I’d like to hear what others consider what Time Out’s wunnerful Resturant Guide would consider a ‘red star, green star’ resturant. IE it would get a ‘red star’, meaning the food is crit...

So apparently the art of pancake making is dying out. Who is planning to have pancakes tonight and what will you have with them? We had doughnuts at work last week because we have several Polish staff and this is how they start Lent, with doughnuts. Should we adopt their custom or make an effort to keep Pancake D...

I can’t find the thread but a while back I enquired about local London honey to combat hayfever (based on the theory that eating locally made honey will innoculate you against the effects of local pollen), and I was directed to the Hive Honey shop in Clapham (sorry, can’t remember who gave me the info &#...

I haven’t added a proper date/time/venue because it’s not important yet. We can decide that stuff together. But we should go. A big fat girly cinema trip to see the SATC movie when it comes out. We can dress up. Or not. But we absolutely must drink cosmos both before and after. Who’s with me?

So I have less than a week till I leave the fine wine, cheese, and still-mooing steak of the South of France. Though my tastebuds have been thrilled to be here they are starting to pine for home (there is only so much au poivre sauce they can take, good as it is). In my humble by hungry opinion, it seems the Fren...

Hi, Me and Mr ribbit will be in Edinburgh for the Fringe (sorry, we’ll try not to clutter up the Royal Mile), and as we’ll have to eat out for at least 2 meals a day, would like to receive any recommendations. I’ve done a few Fringes, so know the usual places in the Royal Mile/Cowgate area, but ...

Please save me from a) Pizza Express and b) the Stockpot, both of which suggested by my cousin as suitable dining venues for tonight. My response was ‘why don’t we just go to fucking Macdonalds?’ but I don’t really want to do that either. Now, I know people have raved about Busaba elsewhe...

Here’s a thread that anyone can post on when they just feel the need to post and can’t think of anything relevant or useful or amusing or helpful but still have that need to post something. That’s how I feel right now and that’s why I started it. I feel slightly better now.
