please empty your brain below

is the broken link to http://www.geppettobistro.com deliberate ?
oh... I see what you're doing...
Chorizo pesto - I laughed out loud. I bet Alexandrina and Teddy at the PR firms are composing their next invitations to you already...
I think the marketing drones lack the necessary glands/organs to see the humour in that. Expect your inbox to explode with "offers".
hmmm... I found yesterday's River Lea ever so more interesting and useful... have had a good laugh today though...
Let's see how long it takes until some of those domains are taken and filled with only the finest content advertisers have to offer...
I'd give you a job over whoever wrote the blurb here:

http://regentscanalfestival.org.uk/about.html

"Festival interventions spread over 8 miles..." indeed.

Or is there a new meaning of 'intervention' that I (and the OED: http://oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/intervention) aren't cool enough to know?

And I hope someone's told Environmental Health about the flies on the grill griddle every lunchtime at the top of King's Boulevard.
"Bugger all happens in Mile End"

I'm sure it does, just as it does at Hamstead, Wimbledon Common ......etc.
Hah! It took me until the fourth paragraph to twig what was going on. I was half thinking: "Did the marketers finally get to DG?"
Had me fooled/horrified for a bit there!

Thank heavens for the Budgens where you can get some real, non-PC, tucker.
Transposing the photo captions was an authentic touch :)
I have plans to walk the entire length of the Grand Union Canal from London up to the western end, so I thought it would make sense to start with the Regents Canal first, starting at the Thames and working my way west. However, I've found a few pages where people have done the Regents Canal walk, and they all seem to start at Warwick Avenue and head east. Is there any particular reason why it's better to do it that way round, or is it just a coincidence?
And there was I thinking you can walk the towpaths for free, and just for the joy of walking! Gosh, is this shopping compulsory?
Either way is good Karen. The view will steadily improve if you start at Limehouse though. The Grand Union is mostly a miserable walk though, mostly. Ugly and at times scary.
argh... very effective - and painful to read!
The New York Pork and Strawberry Moon links are broken.

Actually, come to think of it, so is every other one.
On the other hand you've really got me wanting pineapple muffins now - damn.
Dear DG, I can't believe you haven't mentioned the pop-up cinema/bar place next to Hitchcock's Gainsborough studios, it's serves great banh-mi baguettes with a mexican twist and only shows French movies (without subtitles)

LOL. Hoxton was equally "legendary" when my east end ancestors took up residence in the brand new houses built along the bank, where the Branch Estate now stands, but for completely different reasons I fear! Charles Booth coloured their little neighbourhood in dark blue and black!
You should have slipped in a converted petrol station with a pineapple for a logo serving expensive "Calexican" (I kid you not) food that's become such massive hipster-magnet you can't get a table unless you're a somebody. Everyone would have thought it was part of the joke.
I hate swans.
And there's the place where the fictional Scaramanga sisters (see Michael Moorcock's 'Mother London') used to live.
I'm glad you stuck in at least one 'vibrant'... it might have seemed flat and a bit ordinary without it.

:0)
You left out the cafe and bar at Kings Place, by Maiden Lane Bridge - aka York Way, Kings Cross N1C - a new postcode. The cafe has good coffee, the bar expensive - better go down York Way towards KX Station to the 'Lincoln Lounge' bar - good beer & wine at reasonable [for London] prices and great sofas.

Then there is the recently converted BP 'Filling Station' Bar on Goods Way - haven't been in there but the silver slabs of colour are visually striking - almost opposite the new University of Arts campus [old KX Goods Depot]
Brilliant, brilliant. Just brilliant! Cxx
