from a fellow snobby snob snob…

Yes Pete I wholeheartedly agree. I would have to say that the Cafe de Vie, on Saville Row is the best by a long dark shot, and if you go there once in a blue moon, you will be remembered and your friendly Frenchman will be half way through making your double expresso before you have even ordered it.

There is also Intermezzo, surely a glaring omission? I suspect that there may be more behind this conspiracy, but it must definitely satisfy all your above requirements? It is where I re-discovered DEVO and the free wifi is good too. It is also impossible to sit outside and not see someone that you know within about five minutes.

I’m intrigued by the new back of Grainger Market set up, it sounds great.

You forgot the cafe on the top floor of Wilkinsons too. And has anyone ever been to the new American style place on Gallowgate?

PS and being such a coffee snob, from New Zealand, I am sure that Alex will get a bit of an education in Wellington. I just can’t even let myself take one of those flyers for Kaffecinos that the guy tries to give out on the street.

Pete!
I tried to leave this message after the ‘i left the house’ entry but the submit button wasn’t working. Where were you? It looks so pretty, I need to walk there.

Hi Pete,

Kaffeccinos is definitely not the place for a snobby snob snob ;) It plays music of the Century FM variety (bit of Beatles, Paulo Nutini, that sort of easy listening stuff). I love the fact it has a few books to read so I don’t have to feel conspicuous if I just fancy going for a drink by myself. The coffee tastes good (to me) - it’s not rocket fuel, but I need my coffee smooooth and I find rocket fuel a bit strong! Best of all though, I have a whole collection of ‘FREE COFFEE WHEN YOU SPEND £1+’ vouchers, so I buy a muffin for less than the coffee costs and get a coffee free!

I’ll check out the places you recommend for sure, and some that others have told me about, and see if one of my choices gets your seal of approval :)

Oh, it works fine with Apple, that’s all I’ve ever had. The only thing it doesn’t do is work with the little box that runs my hifi on the network.

That’s very kind of you, but both the girlfriend and myself have Apple laptops… I just want to beat the people who make these devices with the international ISO file for wireless communications. “Standards!” whump! “Are!” whump! “Good!” WHUMP!

D’you want an XBridge wireless router? No idea how to configure it mind. Boxed. Won’t work with my Apple Extreme.

I’m the same. Sometimes wish the internet had never been invented. This is not life. I should be out there doing something.

Maybe in another 15 minutes.

Hello mr. Pete. Hows tricks? I should have done this on Facebook really, but I already have this window open so…

If you wanted to do a podcast about my disappearance to London then I would be happy to record my side of the conversation on my microphone, via skype, and then send over the file.
I have become insanely productive recently, I’m not sure if it’s the fact that London smells like poppers, or just that I am unencumbered by work at the moment. Though that may change if my bank account doesn’t stop whining.
hope you are well, I like the new layout of the site (though I’m sure it’s pretty old now…)
