I’ve been called a lot of things, but never a driving force.

Brilliant from She Drew The Gun last night.

“There's a glitch in the system of conventional wisdom

Walls for the wind
Shelter from the rain
Something for the hunger
And something for the pain”

Articles like this are typical of why readers should support Pellicle. Brilliantly written and researched. I've been going to the D&G for 20 years and didn't know half of this. It's a miracle of a pub and one of the best in London.

There were no Lords there either. Have Lords been banned from Handsworth? It’s a disgrace etc.

Londoners: It’s the weekend!
London Transport: Fuck you!

I wish they’d mess with the trains and tubes on Monday morning when no one wants to go anywhere.
