The beer is weak as fcuk which I prefer and just compliments every street food dish..
yeah walking in the street.. the pavements are swamped with shop wares, random street food table and chairs or parked scooters.. drivers and riders are careful though, nothing reckless or aggressive. This is a massive distraction from the shit back in London.
alas I’m not going to make it south, decided to just stay around north with two day Halong Bay cruise, 3 nights Mia Chau Valley, Ninh Binh trekking, several Hanoi based day excursions in and around so that I at least have some contrast from the night markets and traffic.
Despite everything I love being in the thick of it. Also that no one really hassles me and great mix of locals and tourists it feels very safe

ffs if there were a category for the ugliest airport terminal buildings, shit infrastructure, possibly the worse shuttle bus service, and how to make you repeatedly chuck away bottles of mineral water at every security check point.. CdG Paris would win hands down, quelle surprise they mislaid my luggage too..
still Hà Nôi old town is as brash, bustling, noisy, frenetic as I could have ever hoped for.. absolutely fallen in love with their crazy driving antics.. not sure I’ll feel that way after a few days in the old town

History snip.. essentially in 1786 the Tignon law was passed following complaints that black women had too much luxury in their being.. notably their hair.. from one of the poorest state in America ffs..
Fast forward to dress / appearance code in the UK secondary schools a few years back, limiting hair styles and length for girls in secondary school.. this should be covered in their education about discriminatory laws based on race, culture and heritage..

Blimey @Velocio this must be a kick in the feels.. I am like many eternally grateful for everything you have given to our forum..
I vote for a massive bike pile and perhaps an old school message board somewhere like LMNH in the future.. oh wait, ffs..
I do hope there is an archive to tap into, so many memories, memes, quotes, pics

One thing you are guaranteed with Fred Wesley, is that he covers the full spectrum of jazz in his performances, traditional, blues, JBs, P-funk beautiful tributes too, you drink it all in with his commentary.
I said to Fred two years ago that we will continue to see him when he is in London, at 81 years young he still has funk in his trunk, his band equally top draw
I personally think that live gigs keep him going, a true performer a lot of love and respect in the room. In conversation at the bar with Dwayne, he talked about a strong unbreakable connection for over thirty years.
Mrs M always seeks out Fred’s daughter for a chat, who is a constant at gigs, it’s all very special and highlight of my year

You joke Corny, one person..
Ebony’s mum and brothers are absolutely solid.. bad playlist.. the poignant moment is her reaction and pain shared with Michael Holding in the wake of BLM, which could have ended her broadcasting career.. and heartbreak of losing one of her brothers to knife crime. Just to have understanding around living in the UK surrounded by prejudice, backing oneself, having a voice for change and better lives for all..

Would it not by great if we could somehow create a ‘protected characteristics of LFGSS as an on-line community’ under this law
We fcuking cover most of the above.. might need a charter around social responsibility and what we represent…
I’m no expert just asking…
