Nowt wrong with anchovies.

To be fair...you are completely right...I go to Biddle Bros and I am a anchovy and celery eating wanker...my friends are a bunch of tosspots....your intuition is scarily spot on... Careful now, you are displaying superior powers..

i'm going to drink there again, and i feel strangely attracted to anchovy and celery

there really is no hope for me

Yeah especially with oodles of capers sprinkled over them..

Perhaps we can share a celery stick and a jar of anchovies one day Marty?

 

[boohoo]

I wanna go to Biddle Bros... I just like the signage because it dates back to the mi-60s and having watch lots of things in the area disappear ( original 50s signage, Don's cafe, Victorian Church Hall with bashed up stain glass) I'm always glad when something is preserved.

I can't imagine it being that posh in BB, cos it ain't that kinda area.

the signage for don's cafe is still there, can't imagine it staying for much longer

It isn't posh Boohoo. It gets a fairly mixed crowd and has a nice atmosphere. The guys who own/manage it are very nice too.

No they're not, they're wankers and tosspots innit

Nice pictures of Don's cafe. I spoke to the old bloke who ran it and he'd worked there since he was 9.

i have noticed a few places opening up there which are usually signs of gentrification - there's a few organic shops now, the havana cafe is alright too, but clapton will resist gentrification for a few centuries i reckon

Not if I can buy something there. Are there any organic betting shops yet?

If you don't want to argue with me then stop & try to accept that different people can have different opinions sometimes!

You say that everyone is different and likes different things and I'm saying to have an open mind. Practically the same thing innit.

 

[Onket]

No.

 

[dwenfish]

I went past Biddle Bros the other week & it looked like it was full of tosspots. Everything I've heard about it makes it sound like a venue for wankers, so I wasn't surprised.

it is, it's a little bit of stokie in clapton, always looks full of cunts.

the eclipse is fucking poncy too. bring back the cecil i say..

 

[5t3IIa]

No.

Right, that's it. Next u75 gathering I'm wearing neon leggings, white-framed shades and telling everyone you are my best friend

Careful there mate, you're not allowed to have an opinion different from anyone else's.

if the Lord Cecil was so good, how come for the last 6 months of its existence the only people i saw in there were me (in the mirror), 4 dealers who sniffed coke in the toilet, and a sociopathic drunk with a bulldog (who was actually alright)

i thought that. there was some shit techno coming from an upper window and a fluorescent drape. i'm a bit surprised it hasn't been developed straight away, i think the building's been sold.

It was a sorry state of affairs and no mistake.
