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 fooled […]

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. It’s not though, it’s German for castle. Castles are big buildings designed to protect the people inside from attack. Which is interesting as Albert Schloss […]

Well, see below, I’ve composed a new version. I’m headin’ down the Smallbrook Queensway Lookin’ for the meat getaway Headed for the meat getaway I got […]

FoodieBoys food tour of Kent #LongRead

After all, Kent is much like London. They have similar accents, for example.” “I was thinking the exact same thing.” And so […]

Review: Niche – Toby

Picture this: you’re standing in Leicester Square. Throngs of people-crowds push past you. Probably going to see a film I expect. And quickly, unbeknownst to the hundreds, even thousands of people around you, you start to shit yourself. What a terrible dream. But this was no dream for Tobes, it was a very real reality […]

Review: Lucky Chip @ Birthdays, Dalston

On hearing that Lucky Chip were transporting their patty offerings from Hackney to trendy Dalston, our Foodie Senses went into overdrive. After a few well-placed calls, we hadn’t really got anywhere, so it was fortunate that a work colleague mentioned he could get us on the guest list for their opening night. When we rocked […]

GBK

“Hey, fancy heading out for lunch today?” said my colleague. “Yes, why not. Where shall we go?” I replied. “GBK?” my colleague offered confidently. “Well, I do like burgers especially gourmet ones prepared in a kitchen.” I quipped. After grabbing some monkey nuts, (I don’t like them but they’re free) we sat down and discussed […]
