Soho is rubbish.

Just saw the bent-faced one from the Mighty Boosh walking down Wardour Street

The Pet Shop Boys can fairly often be seen walking down Dean Street.

I can unfairly often be seen walking up Dean Street.

You can't move for comics round here (and the PSBs and Dingo). I've seen H Dennis, R Hall, C Morris, R Mayall, P Whitehouse, N Fielding and B Cryer in the last few months. Oh, and T Baker.

didn't know the PSBs even hung out together.

Perhaps only on occasions when they're required to appear as the PSBs?

Oh, I forgot S Philips and D Moran from my list of recent Britcom-but-not-Domcom-amirite Soho sightings. And Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen talking on his mobile in a doorway near Leic Sq. Fascinatin'.

Walking down Oxford Street towards Clerkenwell to work every morning I used to see Den15 N0rden walking in the opposite direction. Dude is much taller than he seems on TV.

I saw Jerry Sadowitz in Sister Ray two days ago looking through the 50% off sale section.

I was walking down Berwick street and saw Zig and Zag once.

I've seen Jerry Sadowitz in MVE before. Most recently I saw Mark Lamarr in the bargain basement.

I've seen Ian Hislop, Simon Pegg, Steve Marchant, various people from Dr Who, Marc Almond, Tory Suggs etc etc etc walking around here.

peter stringfellow.

I saw Emsk walking around Fitzrovia!

No wait, I didn't, I just walked past her office.

just now? did you see me? i was out getting lunch from the king salad man

Just saw the bent-faced one from the Mighty Boosh walking down Wardour Street

I walk past that bloke in Soho about once a fortnight. He must live there or something. He's always wearing a cape, and looking like he is withdrawing from drugs.

Maybe he's going to Crusssh.

Awww I think this is one of the first threads I ever locked...

Seems oddly quaint now.

Soho is rubbish, though.

i'm still toying with trying to spend 24 consecutive hours in soho before i turn 30

Probably about time I posted this:

That was about a year ago on Poland Street, where CM has his office.

you could have punched him from there.

Someone shove a caption on it and turn it into an image macro, cheers.

Ah, now I remember why I hadn't posted it before.

Think CM ever goes down Lucky Voice?

Knock back a few of those shots with the popping candy in, then hit the mic for a bit of "Hey Ya"

i'm still toying with trying to spend 24 consecutive hours in soho before i turn 30

It's not worth it. Much in the same way as the standard "24 hours in Amsterdam" student trip isn't worth it really. Unless you like overpriced pr0n and overpriced pubs. Everything else you can get just about anywhere.

walked past bloke who presents never mind the buzzcocks earlier

just off wardour street

Soho can be pleasant to wander through on a spring/summer afternoon when you haven't got much to do except look at girls and famous people. Utter rubbish for going out in the evening though.

Chris Morris looks FURIOUS in that photo.

i think he always looks like that

reminds me of teh clarkson for some reason

never having been to soho before last summer - i had a hell of a time finding a decent place to get loaded at.

is there a good place to have a quick lunch in soho?

Misread this as "Soto is rubbish"

come on, people

La Esquina maybe?

soho LONDON sheesh

Ah!

Your brief is too wide dude, there's literally dozens of places.

Bit late for lunch in London imo

now you're all just being difficult

quick, cheap, comfy. sandwiches fine.

no personal favourites that fit that description? crumbs

i'm thinking something along the lines of the scandi cafe on great portland st

Along those lines there's the Nordic café on Golden Square. I used to like Bar Bruno on Wardour Street but haven't been in for years. Here are some happy customers:

Anyway, you want to try the London Restaurants thread, Tracer. Totally different audience, totally different vibe.

i'm just not sure i want to sit down in a "restaurant" for lunch. i'm after a canteen or sandwich shop. like the indian ymca off fitzroy square. but maybe you're right.

bar bruno looks like just the place!

You must be starving by now
