Fat Hippo – Birmingham

Is there such a thing as a Skinny hippopotamus? Is there such a thing as a Fat hippopotamus? I’d imagine most hippopotamuses fall within a very similar weight range. A bit of research indicates the average male hippopotamus weighs between 236 – 283 stone. Their large bloated bellies allow them to float. Don’t be fooledContinue reading “Fat Hippo – Birmingham”

The Wilderness – Birmingham

Review of The Wilderness restaurant in Birmingham.

Albert Schloss / Purecraft

Schloss – sounds like what I’d expect the mop bucket at a German brothel to be called. “Friedrich, fetch the Schloss, the bukkake party has ended,” that sort of thing.

Eat Vietnam – Birmingham

Have I ever mentioned that I lived in Vietnam? Yeah, six months spent at the Viet Duc Industrial College in Sông Công, Thai Nguyen province back in 2004. My time was spent teaching at the college and a bank up the road. I also spent a lot of time listening to my Irish flat mateContinue reading “Eat Vietnam – Birmingham”
