Espresso
I'm on a self-imposed drinking ban at the moment (nine days and counting), so when I needed to unwind this afternoon, a trip to a pub wasn't an option. Instead I visited my favourite coffee shop. The Espresso Room opened for business in a tiny shop space on Great Ormond Street a few months ago. It measures about twelve feet by eight - and that's your lot. Previously, it was Griffin & Partners, which was without doubt London's smallest bookshop. A more knowingly bourgeois venture one could scarcely conceive of - their choice of tea is divided into "builder's" and "posh". The chap that runs it is a real star. He deserves to do well, and by the looks of it he is. If you're in Bloomsbury, it's a perfect (non-alcoholic) pitstop.

He have those over here, they're called Starbucks. Bell, I thought you were a little more mach than this. Just so you know, there is no perfect non-alcoholic pitstop. Well, there is, they're called 7-11's. A cherry slurpee after a night on the ale is divine. See, I can hang with you on the metro sexual front.
Me too bro.
10 days on the wagon in preparation for two days on the piss in the Dam this weekend.
Mrs Pie-Tin had a look of horror on her face when I presented her with a list of 15 bars I intended us to visit.
That's the brilliant thing about giving up drink for a while - the first day back on it is like injecting Duvel into your penis.
Have you been to Dose Espresso in Smithfield yet? Very good stuff.
Also, coffee@ on Goswell Road has just reopened as Goswell Coffee. (Rumors of course swirling.)
Ive just had nine days of alcohol,waste of time really means im just a binge drinker which is worse than being a steady drinker.You should go tee total and just gob the beer out on tastings ala wine tasting.
Off for an Expresso now , Dark Star ofcourse.
