So Chopstix Noodle Bar chain is coming to the cursed space formerly taken up by Starbucks by the tube.

Here's some info on them:

I was going to ask if this is the return of Speedy Noodle

Worried about what, exactly?

Worried about what, exactly?

Whether or not inverted commas are required around "swimming".

They’re hooking up with other early morning swimmers who might contribute to Buzz

I doubt this does happen btw seems to be one of these puritanical people that thinks Brockwell is just there for their own quiet enjoyment.

The park was fantastic yesterday evening - filled with tons of people making the most of it.

 

[story]

Maybe a sex worker and their client?

I’ll sometime walk past people doing sex on Rush Common, Raleigh Gardens etc. I’m pretty sure it’s not punters from The White Horse who couldn’t wait to get home

The night shift often doesn’t end til gone 6 AM.

Yes I get that but everyone I know has read it the way I've described!
And fuck adverts on pavements anyway.

Quite apart from its other annoying qualities it seems to be implying that this is a desirable state - to never grow up - but really it’s important to grow up, otherwise you remain childish and immature and quite frankly a pain in the arse.

What I suspect it “means” is that we won’t get boring - because it’s (childishly and immaturely) equating “growing up” with “being boring”.

So stinky poo-bums to it.

Such a profound message- congrats to Example's PR and Marketing crew.

 

[pbsmooth]

imagine coming up with that slogan and thinking, yep, this is the one. it was a tired old cliche about 50 years ago.

Interesting column about the Brixton McDonalds and the human stories behind it, since it opened in 92. It's from Vittles which is a paid-for Substack newsletter (recommend you subscribe if you're interested in food and associated social/cultural history, they commission a lot of interesting writers from diverse backgrounds, kind of an antidote to typically more elitist writing about food you usually see) but I've screenshotted it and saved it here on Imgur in case anyone is interested in reading.

 

[pbsmooth]

nice piece even if I always struggle when people get misty-eyed about fast food corporations.
