Dan that’s a great place, been going there for years.

    RichM Jamaica Blue has been giving it a run for its money

    Dan Jimpster and his other half run this little joint https://www.acanteen.co.uk/

    He’s a top bloke.

    Bizarre, an agency I was at pitched in for the identity work years ago but we didn’t win it.

    I did meet his wife though and she was really sound.

      Smallman1 Really? as they’ve kept the same name which they’ve had about 12 years or so. Or is that branding jargon 🤔

      From what I remember she wanted to expand the business and was in the process of finding bigger premises that would have needed designing and branding, not sure if it any of that materialised or what happened.

        Smallman1 She’s certainly expanded it from the 35 seater Deli into a full blown restaurant. It’s actually really nice. I take my daughter there as she likes it.

          Got to say it looks really good.

            That Cecil Hotel series is weird, including the part where the Brit couple are complaining about the water out of tap tasting disgusting. You mean the brown water coming out of the tap? Pair of oddballs.

              Thought it was absolute tripe. Felt sorry for that heavy metal guy. He got no apologies from anyone.

                Dubman Yeah I tried with this series, but I couldn’t even finish ep 1 without rolling my eyes so much.

                  Ceclil Hotel is Netflix at its absolute worst. Sensationalist nonsense that trivializes people’s actual lives. Close to cancelling my subscription, to be honest. They release 20 garbage shows for every okay 1. Once Fincher bails, which he will, their IP will be forgettable at best. They’re completely reliant upon habit. “Oh, Netfilx”. Once that dissipates they’re fucked.

                    Nasty, cheap exploitative TV. Seen one, seen them all. Just finished ZeroZeroZero. Raw, emotional and compelling.

                    Finnish Netflix has lately added a lot of good old movies. I’m all for that always.

                    Been watching re-runs of Only Fools and Horses on netflix with the youngest (14). He’s addicted. Just seen the one where they painted the Chinese restaurant British Rail yellow

                    Yeah, have been thinking of ditching it again, I struggle to find anything I can get excited about on there. They must be gagging for the next Stranger Things to get released.

                    Kells77 Web sleuths….. Infinitely weirder and more repulsive that any goings on at the Cecil.

                    Suburra: Blood on Rome - I’m almost through season one - it’s a bit of a Disney version of Gomorrah and think it’s alright, but I’m actually just not sure. Thought the film was great.
