Anyone have an explanation for why KaoSarn on the coldharbour lane side of Brixton Village is always so packed? I went once and it was ok, nothing special, but everytime i pass by it is bursting at the seams with a huge queue out into the courtyard. Even at Sunday lunch yesterday it was swarming....most odd

Had a good chat with the old guy who does the cooking there when he first opened. He's an award winning chef who was forced to come out of retirement by his very demanding wife to open that place. He didnt seem very happy about it, but his food was the best Thai I've tasted outside Thailand. It was also BYO, no idea if it still is, but that might explain its popularity.
 
Random question: Anyone know what the Effra Tavern is like with bikes? Supposed to be watching the footie there tonight, but not too comfortable about leaving it outside (not insured)... I usually take my bike through into a pub's back yard or beer garden, but I know landlords can be a bit funny about it (Pat at the Albert used to make me carry it - which I've done as a matter of course ever since... Being told off by Pat had a lasting effect ;)).

This is not a random question.
 
Shame... This is what I feared. I had mine nicked in Clerkenwell before Christmas - absolutely cannot afford to have it's replacement pinched.
 
You'd probably be better off chaining it outside the Ritzy. Just ensure you get both the from wheel and the frame- or take the front wheel with you to the pub.
 
Never understood these newspaper supplements. Only the 1 per cent can afford the products touted in them. So they are useless for almost all their readers.

I suppose it's simply the disconnect between real people - and those who run newspapers

Well you read the FT, as I do. I use "How to Spend It" to psych me up for Max Keiser and George Galloway of a Saturday afternoon. The only thing I ever liked in it was the £7,500 Japanese turnable for vinyl records:

I bet the advertising in those things costs quite a bit more.
 
The Guardian and all their reviews of expensive smartphones and suchlike lifestyle gadgetry.

Tsk.

At least there's none of that around here.
 
Back on topic, work on the new apartments above Brady's is moving along. I'll add more to the Brady's thread later.
