Tea for two
Welcome to 1940s Blitz-torn London…
Well maybe London isn’t suffering any Blitz of any kind, but at least here you can pretend it is and enjoy some of the most beautifully crafted cocktails whist doing so.
Here at Lounge Bohemia, a wonderful WWII bunker themed underground haven, is a hidden gem, (and “hidden” being the operative word) where you are welcomed and seated by cocktail waitresses who are dressed as ladies should be: along with pencil skirts, bright red lippy and rollered hair.
Paul, the proprieter, makes the meanest (but kindest) bohemian iced tea for two (pictured) in the universe, and you know it’s always good to break bread and tea with friends before a cocktail….
The menus are presented as history novels and the whole atmosphere is so relaxing, you can drink until your heart’s content.
Like I say though, Lounge Bohemia is a hidden gem, and here, my friends lies the charm….

Yes Penfold!
Taking a wander down Leak Street the other day…
I took my wonderful friends down the infamous visual wonder, Leak Street in Waterloo, London the other day, and came across an image of one of my favourite childhood characters, Penfold…and his sidekick, Dangermouse. Heh Heh!
Australian People don’t understand our beloved Dangermouse, so please help me educate them.
One thing Australians do appreciate, is a drink. So I took them to the “British Film Institute” bar for a drink…enroute!
But my bar with this post, is that Dangermouse isn’t known throughout the world, so I think that we should call an International Dangermouse week… “What say you?”

Fifteen, behind bars...
It seems that Cactus might be on the menu at Jamie Oliver’s restaurant.. It would be a crime for him not to be, wunnit?!
Part food, part art!
Sorry, HAPPY NEW YEAR! ..is what I meant to say, first of all. And let me just tell you that ’nuff said about NY, the better. Lot’s of sore heads indeed…
But back to the God of “Celebrity Chef stardom”. Can I just say, he provides one of the best celebrity chef stardom breakfasts in London…No, dammit! His restaurant ‘Fifteen’, in London’s East never fails to provide one of the most magnificent brekkies in the whole of London (and “the grocery” on Kingsland Road, Shoreditch holds a close second…and can we find these wankers who wrote these comments and shoot them? Is the rest of Shoreditch with me? Yes? No?).
Back to Fifteen and my favourite buddy, ‘Cac-Ti’….Sob, sob! He may be still hanging on the outside menu of ‘Fifteen’, cold and alone…Sob,sob!

Feels like Christmas
It’s been a lot of years since I really felt the “spirit of Christmas”, but on the weekend at Borough Markets, that spirit was running riot..
With Christmas Carol-ers singing something that I couldn’t quite make out, and dead ducks and pheasants hanging by their little broken necks (of which I was going to submit a photo)…Yes, you can sure tell it’s “Crimbo” in London.
There sure isn’t a shortage of food either, from beefburgers through to venison and ostrich burgers. The best cakes I’ve ever eaten (or one of them), and the most expensive Christmas Puddings under the sun…Sorry Dan & Roberta, It’s Chocolate cake for you!
I have to say that it’s wonderful to be back in ‘Old Blighty’ at such a festive time, so I have a message to you all, “Shuddup! Get f*%k£d! Im grumpy!”
…with all love, of course!
