Once went into this bar in Glasgow for food and had to run away again before I sought out the person who wrote the menu and gave them an ickle punch in their oochy-coochy wee face:

I certainly do NOT want to eat "billy goat's cheese", thanks. That would be disgusting, and is possibly illegal.

on the way home tonight i got accosted by a chugger as i came out of my local Tesco Express. i do not live in a swanky area, feel like this was a major escalation of hostilities

I am dying with laughter at "billy goat's cheese"

Fish & chips

Tittys traditional fish and chips, battered to death haddock wi’ mushy peas (all veggies beware they have nasty ham through the peees) and a slice of lemon. (Please be careful there may be one or two bones in the fish they had to move about you know)

I am going to assume "Tittys" means something different in Glasgow; besides there's more than enough in the rest of the entry for me to roll my eyes at

its subtle brume (DJP), Tuesday, 2 February 2016 20:41 (eight years ago) link

pretty sure that menu is some teaser marketing for the next Belle and Sebastian album

Chikan wa akan de. Zettai akan de. (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 2 February 2016 21:02 (eight years ago) link

Titty's means the same in Glasgow and I have never heard this name or nickname before.

been seeing these ads around for a while and i think the winking acknowledgment of dead-eyed grasping corporate greed is somehow even worse than the innocent smoothies aesthetic

You know that nice story about the woman who tweeted she was in love with the man who ran the Oxford St Waterstones Twitter account and ended up marrying him?

Jonathan has stopped being a bookseller and become a social media writer for Innocent drinks.

just googled 'postmodern jukebox' on acct of never having heard of it and it came up second in autocomplete, after postmodernism itself. is this reflective of its popularity or did it twig that I was just looking at a page on which it was mentioned
