A 1990s-themed bar in Covent Garden. Which is a bit like in 1995 going to a 1950s-themed bar.
Now if only they served Hooch or snakebites... (and I'm reasonably sure karaoke wasn't a thing in 1995)

Somehow still standing in the heart of Fitzrovia near the British Museum. Why has this not been replaced yet with some hideously expensive gleaming glass structure for rich shoppers?

My memory vs the Internet. A horrifying tale.
So I really have distinct memories of playing #sleepingdogs - a superlative open-world gangster/police game set in Hong Kong - in January 2011.
I remember the sofa I was sat on, where I was playing it... (1/2)

Probably not the day to suggest a change on the venerated London Transport / Underground map but ...

It is my considered opinion that the yuzu lemon Jaffa cakes, while an improvement on the traditional orange Jaffa cake, is no substitute for the S-tier that was the lemon/lime Jaffa cake. *Pours one out

Is he trying to get people who look like 'foreigners' and deliver food attacked, assaulted, & racially abused? Because that's what that tweet does. I cannot believe it. Completely tone deaf. And entirely irresponsible.

Except, of course, it won’t.
The government asked the country’s best legal experts, medical professionals, internet analysts & childcare specialists for advice about their proposed new Daily Mail-pleasing law & were told it would achieve nothing but data harvesting. They went ahead anyway. *sigh*

It's so warm/hot in London today that the birds are taking a bath.
It's so cold in my air-conditioned office that I'm drinking a hot cup of coffee to try and stay warm.
