Sort-of memes that are cracking you up at the moment

Mocking our speech is racist.

And flour is a thing you rarely hear pop stars discussing, unless she's been on that Bake Off or joined Fields of the Nephilim.

I hope you pronounce "flour" like Nadine from Girls Aloud.

Sunday Brunch, actually. You bakeist.

Sunday Brunch, actually.

Proper sellout - you'd never get Van Morrison doing that. Though I would actually pay the licence fee to see Van on whatever Sunday Brunch is.

I'm a "flaar" kinda guy. From too far East to have a Deery accent. Trying desperately to prevent mini_com from become a "flowa" person.

Racist.

Don't rise to it

His comment was leavened with humour

This has reminded me of the morning I was walking down Portobello Road and came upon Van the Man in a dirty, ill fitting, cheap suit, a vest and a pair of very old shoes... He looked like a brickie who'd just woken up in the pub and was on his way home...

That in turn reminded me of the Saturday morning I witnessed George Best, pissed as a fart, falling out of a cab and going straight into the Wellesley Arms at opening time... Bit depressing on both counts, alcohol makes you do strange things...

Had a mate who lived in Reading who would regularly go up to London on his day off because he knew George would be in the pub all day and would chat football to anyone who'd buy him drinks. Profoundly depressing.

Also worked for the insurance company who insured his health AFTER his liver transplant. Underwriters had paroxysms, but the Directors said it was worth it for the business he brought in.

We named our capital city's airport after that wifebeating drunk.

Where is the proof?

Florist.

Reminds me of having hangover brunch on All Saints Road with Paula Yates and Nick Cave + I think various kids at the next table. Good Times.

When I lived in Chelsea I'd watch the football in the Phene Arms, it was over the road from George's house so of course he was always in there... I used to love watching the game sitting opposite him, his punditry was great... Of course he was a complete drunk, his wife would come and drag him out at closing time on the regular... A sad, sick old man...

He always used to crack on to mates when we were out on the piss around there.

[Edit] He was at Pucci Pizza a lot too

I love that Nadine from girls aloud is a cultural point of reference

I loved W11, I lived there at the tail end of the good times when it was still a total dump, cheap rent and loads of fun people around... Then Jerry Hall started drinking in the Warwick and Wendy James and her puffa jacket mob took over my old local, Finch's, and it wasn't the same anymore... Old John the landlord abusing us for cleaning out the trivia machine again, endless Saturday Guinness sessions, getting home pissed and realising you'd left all your food shopping under the table in the pub... Sigh... A golden age...

Kind of, we tacked a few extra neon tubes on to the existing sign so it could be easily backed out of when the inevitable posthumous cancellation comes about.

drinking in the Warwick

I used to play pool in there occasionally mid/late 80s.
A friend’s dad made good and they moved from Se14 to Kensington Pk. Rd.
There used to be 2 pool tables - one for money games - I played on the other.
Old Jamaicans playing with short cues from the hip. Deadly.

First pub to have CCTV all the way back then because of all the dealing going on. (Citation needed)
