We’ve been handing out bibles for almost 40 years. For the first time in my life I’m asking myself this question - I wonder how long it will be before this book is cancelled? I know it may seem like a silly thought but it’s really not. It’s just a matter of time. Frightening! pic.twitter.com/ikiDaHfDq5— MichaelSweet Stryper (@michaelhsweet) March 2, 2021

I've got a guidebook to Soho from the 50s which describes pizza as a round welsh rarebit.

Not only that but it was the world's first Indian restaurant

(i might be wrong about that, but I'm sure I read it somewhere that for whatever reason it was counted as the first actual Indian restuarant, but that's hard to believe)

Youd have thought idk some lad in delhi mightve considered the concept but it seems not

you would, but maybe indoor dining in the restaurant style as opposed to home cooking / street food just wasnt a thing? I dunno, I'm going off hearsay

So the guy who opened the first Indian restaurant (in the UK, definitely; in the West, probably; in the world, possibly) also introduced shampoo and shampooing to Europe... probably.

Shampoo does come from Hindi iirc

Death cult this, death cult that, everything is a death cult these days. Where oh where are the sex cults of our youth? You point me out an honest sex cult today and I’ll eat my hat. Except the “P. C. Brigade" won’t allow us our hats any longer, oh no. The last time I dared wear a hat a pack of feral Youths broke into my foyer, stole the hat right off my head, and stabbed it with knife crime. I could hear them sneering as they ran off down the road, tossing the tattered shreds of my hat into the gutter, onto the rotted-out urine-soaked husk of Society.

Used to be you could kick a child in the street. Where are all the children now? Indoors, staring slack jawed at their “Nintendos” and impregnating one another out of wedlock.

30 years ago a child would breakdance on the street.
She broke breakdancing, they/them clapped and squealed. I was more a metal kid in the 80s and 90s, alternative rock and a bit of funk, but growing up in Western Sydney – everyone, and I mean everyone could breakdance a bit. Some were so good crowds would form.Like almost… pic.twitter.com/pEiGTlRvHw— Matthew Camenzuli (@Matt_Camenzuli) August 10, 2024
