The Boat That Rocked

[Orang Utan]

was the last time I was there - I'm going to this place this evening: http://www.thefatbadger.com/ and I'm sure I'll have my prejudices confirmed

 

[electrogirl]

Wow, looks wanky.

Depends on where you go. There are still some bits that are a bit tatty. My point was that in Curtis's Notting Hill, there were no black people.

Mind you, Brixton has become rather gentrified in parts. The meeja darlings who can't buy in NH will flock to places like Brixton because it's 'edgier'.

Or cheaper.

Leffe on tap is a pretty good indicator

I'm going to imagine you eating those in your Henry VIII garb. It pleases me.

Ah, but for how much longer?

 

[Orang Utan]

sorry to disappoint but I'm going to be eating them in a plaid shirt

Irrelevant. You can't stop what goes on in my head.


Anyway I bet you tuck the napkin in your shirt collar. I bet.

I like their wallpaper.

 

[Orang Utan]

I am a loser.

No I went back to it to close it and I saw the wallpaper.

 

[Orang Utan]

I refuse to watch this

you twat orang utan

I get the feeling it's shit and typically twee as Richard Curtis productions tend to be?

 

[Orang Utan]

yes, but it's also pretty unreconstructed sexist nonsense, which surprised me, as i'd forgotten about this thread. the hooters thread then reminded me that maybe things haven't changed that much.
richard herring's blog linked to above pretty much says it all.

 

[T & P]

I refuse to watch this

Whatever happened to "can't criticise something if you don't watch it" mantra you used in the Sherlock thread?

 

[Orang Utan]

i watched it though! hence the bump and the insult to myself
