Smallman1 nothing on the Thames or SW of Brentford? Doesn’t seem right.

Smallman1 The French House is an awful, awful boozer. The Harp at number 7 is practically a tap room - terrific boozer. Bit busy for an old cunt like me mind.

If you created a bot which posted a random combination of the phrases: “scones” “bantz” “tops off” and “or ‘winning’ as I like to call it”, and combined them with links to london.eater articles and Dixon’s gig list, you could replace it will Smalls and no one would be any wiser.

I’m with you on that Hugo.

Smallman1 supposedly Southwark was the most northerly point to be a Cockney, which means that you aren’t.

I think Si means London chief.

Smallman1 I think Si means London chief.

Maybe that’s what he meant, but he specifically said “the land of the cockneys” - which wasn’t the entirety of London.

In BizTrAnz speak, Hugo loves to deep dive while the rest of us use a more agile methodology.

Smallman1

Not sure how much I’d want to stir fry some blue sky ideas in a big picture mind wok with Hugo I must say.

Smallman1 going down the break out room lists for the Myers Briggs session to see Hugo is in the same room as you. Immediately bursting into tears and saying you’ve got Covid.

Picture hugo in the middle of a 6 hour digweed lesson, uncle john absolutely blowing everyone’s heads off with those power prog barnstormers that only he seems to find and hugo is going absolutely radio rental on the dancefloor because the half his best mate conrad has just bitten off for him is more like 4/10ths.

“You said you were giving me half, conrad, you rotter!”

I think everyone’s going to have to dig pretty deep in to their memory banks to picture John doing such a thing.

Do people really do halfs, or is it a London ‘ting?

Seems like being granted a ‘backstage pass’ that only permits entry up to the first knuckle.

Smallman1

Lol.

Did Myers Briggs a while back, can’t remember my exact profile but it was basically akin to a high achieving Alpha.
