Fucking hell Gord, that took a while, didn’t it?

Well guys and gals, after much anticipation, The Warrington has finally opened its doors to the hungry public, and we’re really excited about checking it out as soon as we get a chance to trek that far into West London (c’mon Ramsay, when can we expect to see a Central location?).

Yup, lucky Maida Vale is the place for the next building block in Gordon’s ever-increasing empire. And it’s great news for those of us who don’t have a bulging expense account to load up the hefty prices of his restaurants at Claridges, …

So, Gordon Ramsay is starting up a cookery school now, is he? What the fuck is he doing? Only kidding Gord, we love you really!

Actually, we at ViewLondon think this is an excellent idea. At the moment, our joint culinary expertise extends to putting together a sandwich in the office when we’re skint and can’t afford Pret! Oh, and don’t forget beans on toast – yum!

So this got the cogs in our heads turning (Ok, grinding), Mr Ramsay surely isn’t the only bright spark to come up with such an idea. Maybe we could learn to be good cooks – using a sharpened knife and everything (note to self: using a butter knife to cut raw meat = a lost finger!).

Well, it turns out that we were right (naturally!) and cookery schools are springing …

It’s Valentine’s Day and we’re all very excited about our evenings. We’re a mixture of singletons, smug marrieds and loved up couples at the ViewLondon office so are doing a whole bunch of stuff on this, the evening of luuuurve.

Whether hitting the town with mates to paint it red (or should that be pink?), snuggling up at home (have you seen how much babysitters are tonight?), or going all out and forking out for a pricey fine dining experience, it’s going to be a busy old evening.

So imagine our sniggers when we discovered that someone’s bright spark of a partner had suggested they “go down the pub” on the most romantic day of the year – the cheek of it! Despite our assurances that it’ll all be ok, we secretly felt sympathy for how …

Man (and woman’s) best friend. Our four-legged, furry pals have long  been in the hearts of Londoners - the UK is famed for being a nation of animal lovers, after all. Whether you have a ‘look at me, I’m well ‘ard’ Rottweiler, a ‘I’m a caring, sharing type’ Golden Retriever or a ‘when will I be famous’ Chihuahua, chances are you can’t see a pooch without wanting to grab its chops and koochy koochy koo. Don’t do that, by the way, the pup will only be embarrassed in front of its dog mates!

However, it can be tough being a loving dog owner, as well we know. After all, there’s no swanning off down the pub with your mates on a whim - you’ve got to go home, feed the pooch before he rips up your favourite leather couch. So what’s a dog lover …

A McShit: going into Mcdonalds for the sole purpose of using their questionable toilet facilities. A McShit with Lies – when you’re then caught by a member of staff and have to come up with a drunken set of excuses as to why you’re blatantly breaking their rules, usually along the lines of, “but I am going to buy chips when I come out – honest!”

Come on guys – we’ve all been there, right? We know it’s naughty and in NO circumstances are we to sneak into a pub, bar or chain eatery just to go for a much needed piss, but hey, when nature calls… And let’s face it, there’s nothing worse than seeing people weeing in public, even the laydees are getting in on public urination - nice!

We’re all sick to death of never having decent public toilets …
