Mild has always been shit

Not all mild is bad. There's some damned good mild out there.

Here's one of my faves

 

[Frances Lengel]

Mild's fuckin great. And you can drink about twenty pints of it.

 

[fredfelt]

The phrase 'wild about mild' always makes me smile.

Mild drinkers never looked like that from what I remember

Firebox London ‏@FireboxLdn
Our first preview day went very well-do pop in & try our chunky chickpea fritters & grab some 20 Oct demo leaflets etc. Ideas welcome...

Sarah posted to us on Facebook:

'Listen, I don't have anytning to add to political debate right now, but I am craving a Bengali chai right now. I almost wish I'd never tried it.'​

And we had a visit from Lipstick Socialist from Manchester who nodded to us in her blog after having had a Greek Frappe and returned the next morning for a breakfast cuppa.

The perfect place for young journalists, artists, would be fashion designers to drop in a relax in after a breakneck tour of the dispossssed in Europe

Bengali Chai and chickpea fritters. The cunts.

I can see an opportunity book launch for the Lindsay German Culinary Diaries just before winterfestival

Our coach stops at Farringdon where after a light brunch I am introduced to a group of Somali seaman whose Khatt Cafe is being threatened with closure. Despite the kippers repeating the meeting is very productive with Respect stickers given out and many of the men say they will send their wives out to vote for me.

My food intake consists of half a smoked salmon sandwich made by Ghada, a bag of crisps, a lovely bowl of dessert made with rice flour and spices. All the food is bought or provided by someone else. The other day I had rabbit stew (cold) which Sinead brought in and a lentil and feta cheese salad made by Andy. It's rather an odd feeling to be fed like this. I keep promising myself that will buy some food and organise my sandwiches but I don't suppose anyone is relying on that.

i was just thinking of her after your last post

So what's the difference between Counterfire and the SWP? Not much that I can see. What a bunch of poseur twats.

 

[barney_pig]

Just had a look on Solomon's mindfield (her blog) I think she has accidently posted some spam on it but has she also posted her home phone number? Useful if one is enquiring about yak milk lattes.

I've been in the same room as someone who has asked me if I want some chai, but it was in a Moscow flat and she was using Lipton teabags.

The NUS have no platformed Tony Benn so Firebox should be a student free zone for a while :

That NEC councillors and NUS officers shall not share a platform with George Galloway, Tony Benn, Roger Helmer, Andrew Brons or other speakers who are rape deniers, and who blame and undermine rape victims.

Correction: Benns now off the list as apparently he said sorry. But we won't be seeing Gorgeous George puffing his cigar swathed by Venezualan beauties outside for a while.

I bought a load of Chai in Twinings teas of the World from Poundstretcher a couple of years ago which whilst being near the sell by date were quite good.

Gorgeous George the man so beautiful his Labour bosses hated, fired and now conspire against him, told me my son has beautiful blue eyes. Concerns. Mrs Cornetto fell under his spell and just smiled at him.

Do your dates on this, because you are wrong.

Explain? Fenner Brockway was a friend of Rosa's.

As far as I can tell, the original difference was that John Rees wasn't in charge any more. Counterfeit have drifted further away now.

31 October - Lindsey German: Hallowe'en Special: Which witch is which?, 7-9pm

A look at how the persecution of witches and the treatment of women intersected. Halloween, All Hallows Eve, Hallowmas, Walpurgis Night, Mischief Night... Call it what you will but it will be a night to remember at Firebox with a special menu including Devils on Horseback, Angels of Horseback and a supernaturally good conversation.

Confirm your attendance on the Facebook event: http://www.facebook.com/events/444804355570392/

Bacon back on the menu then. How times change.

[DrRingDing]

. you are such an unreliable witness !

You walked past my old mucker. There was studenty types outside smoking but you missed the horror of Chris Nineham in a tweed style suit indoors. I witnessed the champagne swigging (yes there was beer and wine too) and the empty bottles downstairs.

There were canapés served and subtle boasts of being mates with Wedgie Benn.

 

[barney_pig]

the vibrancy must stand.

It's the small details - the red stars on the belt, the Palestinian scarf - essential leftie accessories. Still have a soft spot for Benn though.
