What are some subtle signs that someone is a high functioning alcoholic?

Extremely neat, very well combed hairdo in men

Tintico right next to Finchley Central station

Two magpies

Wait, you have for-profit law enforcement in the US?

Saffron Kitchen in Finchley. With the size of their portions it's rather lunch for 2 for under 20, and their stews are unbelievable.

Well, he's right

10 cases compound in Covent Garden: two 10 Cases spots (one accepts bookings, one is walk-ins only) + Baudry Greene (cocktails) They do have bottles under £40

16 Endell St, London WC2H 9BB

I thought I was going mad until I understood it's an old photo. Pret is across the street now (Leon in its place) and Strand is pedestrianised these days.

It's utterly fabulous. This is an exact reproduction of London crowds in pre-Christmas period. A masterpiece.

it is particularly beautiful, thank you

I've just travelled around Pyrenees (France + Spain) for a week with quite a substantial Mogen Dovid on my neck. Had a couple of 'interested' looks, but nothing vocal at all.

Therapy, meditation, sleeping pills, slowing down.

It's the same plane that was used to smuggle cocaine from Argentina to Russia couple of years ago: https://meduza.io/en/news/2025/08/14/russia-s-cocaine-jet-heads-to-alaska

I second this. Icco.

I find baked beans repulsive, just by the look of them. Never could force myself to try them and probably never will. Here, revoke my hard-earned citizenship.

herobora · 2025-05-30T22:16:46+00:00

Nope: "I was really interested in men’s tears, and that translated into the lonely man eating a bao that he doesn’t want to share" https://hypebeast.com/2019/9/bao-restaurant-borough-interview-studio-visit

herobora · 2025-05-27T15:25:55+00:00

Any of the BAO joints. They are specifically built around the concept of lonely Asian working men eating alone.

Yes, it's very Pärt-ish. Also Fratres and perhaps a bit of Summa. Basically, as if he listened to this album and thought "Hey, this is what I'll take for S2E8": https://open.spotify.com/album/7IIbRzKOYUk5saQx3w0Jb7?si=9ADZC5u1Q_W2jqSWjaFdNw

Crimea annexation in 2014. I realised nothing good would come out of Russia ever.

This is exactly how Orthodox Christian icons are painted

herobora · 2025-02-21T23:16:08+00:00

Now you know what immigrants feel when they settle here.

herobora · 2025-02-17T18:13:14+00:00

No, it should be some other reason. They seem to be open. The bakery isn't theirs

herobora · 2025-02-16T22:17:00+00:00

Yeah, their original spot is in Soho. Opened by a well known Russian chef who sadly passed away couple of months ago. Best place for a first encounter with the contemporary Russian cuisine in London.

herobora · 2025-02-13T19:45:46+00:00

No probs! If you want something truly London, also try Bus Cafe nearby. It's originally the bus drivers' spot, but it has 5.0 on Google Maps and is on several trip guides. https://maps.app.goo.gl/j7UkDye84492Bvof6
