To think we should have finished off the Queen of Huns?

[Hullygully]

(Excuse cluelessness as to London boroughs, is Hackney anywhere near Richmond or....bum...somewhere else beginning with H. Not Haringey. Highbury??? These are the places I am most likely to visit)

Is it called 'Mimi's'?

Lester! Hail to thee, pray, why is Umami's bodice thus stuffed..?

(Also love the idea of Umami having sex in costume with herself. Thought Sheik was Mimi, tho.)

(So who is Darcy? Could he be Ms Mary?)

(Stretched upon rack entirely re work..must try harder)

Lester, daaahling, you have your own flying horse, how convenient! Is that a cutlass in your scabbard or are you just pleased to see us?

Cavorting amongst the gods sounds fun to me...a keen to meet those naughty peeps!

Just to say we passed through Faversham last week enroute to Canterbury (checking out university possibility for daughter later this year) - small world!

Hackney is East London, and uber cool (read full of poor art students up their own arses) and edgy (read lots of social deprivation with pockets of gentility on the rise). Sadly not called Mimi's.

(Hackney v cool. Wasser name then?)

I know someone who lives in Mare street...it's huge isn;t it?

(Hmmm. East London, I'm afraid, leaves me none the wiser! Lester, Canterbury is lovely, good shopping, good restaurants and even some culcha, if you like that sort of thing. University also has a good rep I think, though I went to the frozen North for that, so don't really know)

Chatsworth Kitchen. Being a kitchen on, er, the Chatsworth Road.

It actually took a pretty long thread to decide on that!

by the way Hully, I do hope you meant to say "nee" instead of "nu". The picture of you scampering round Hackney in your birthday suit is an intriguing one!

(Non. Nee et toute nue.)

"Tis the magic of flight, that brings forth these anachronisms...

Mimi! I used to live in Hackney - many a long year ago, sold up long before it became fashionable (my unerring ability to Get It All Wrong). Lived in Victoria Park Road. Knew Broadway Market when it was just a few pubs and an eel-and-pie shop (now I keep reading in Sunday supps what a trendy place it is). Where is your cafe? Still know people in the area, could point them in your direction and get them to take photos.

Is this the arrow of cupid, or some foul deed?

(Is Cupid Roman? Do I perhaps mean Eros?)

Away you pesky brat! You shall not treat our guests so unkindly!

Hast thou come to reclaim yonder infant, seed of my loins?

See how advanced he is already! He speaks both Mandarin and Swahili!

Sorry, X-post (DP will insist on trying to talk to me; does he think I am a normal person ffs?). Also lived in Rowhill Road and Thistlewaite Road, v. near to Mimi Cafe. Best of luck with it.

Cousin Zeus! These women (and Lester) are my sworn enemies! Unleash your thunderbolts!

Why, CousinFlorimonde, I thought I had got rid of you by taking away your goddess status so you could marry that fool of a mortal, PrinceFlorimonde!

I am in no mood to pander to your petty whims, as these ladies are so fetching in their muslin garments...and their escorts might prove useful for target practice....

(cafe sounds wonderful! It will be fabulous I'm sure I may have to swing by when down in London visiting the folks)

Zeus you bastard you never called!

I think you have your sons mixed up, Dastardly Darcy is the father of Nigel, are you sure you're not thinking of Bastard Barry? I know you and the scullery maid named Beryl had a tryst

Now hand Nigel over!

Ah yes, you thought it was Captain Darcy, but I took over his body for the critical moment!

Its the only way I can get my jollies, otherwise my dear wife gets very cross.

You mean....you...inside....
