This began with what looked like simply a case of the United Arab Emirates getting a little asine over our ‘ass’.
One of our users recently attempted to read the review on TrustedPlaces of a Korean restaurant called Assa, but found the page blocked by his ISP, Etisalat. Figuring this was simply the word ‘ass’ being […]
Sometimes it’s the most ordinary of places that seem the most inviting…The girl in the foreground has a backpack that in silhouette look like folded angel wings, but I think the girl reaching up to the counter is the actual hamburger kid.

TrustedPlaces went along to the London Transport Museum when it reopened, but after a little conversation with Annie Mole we decided to go back and take some of our favourite Flickr photographers.
With some help from the museum we organised a two hour ramble around the exhibits.
We shot a little video to give you a taste […]
Joe Delucci’s Italian restaurant in Bird Street, Lichfield, Staffordshire apparently:
“I couldn’t believe it. The bill read ‘fish cakes’, which one of us had for a starter, and it was written right above it - absolutely disgusting language. We actually booked the table for 8 o’clock in the evening, by the time they had taken our […]

Well here’s as clueless a piece of commentary as I’ve ever seen:
Give me a Tesco over my local fleapits any old day
I can only guess that the author, Sathnam Sanghera, was hoping to inflame the Times readership with ridiculously short-sighted comments like:
“One independent Indian convenience store/Portuguese café/fried chicken outlet seems much like any other to […]
With all the Chinese New Year stuff going on I completely forgot that the nice folk over at Forbidden Planet asked me along to hang out at one of their events recently. Although my comic buying habits have changed over the years I still use Forbidden Planet for the occasional T shirt purchase and geek […]
If you already received our newsletter you’ll know we’re looking forward to a fantastic year of the rat. London is celebrating over the next two months, but the biggest celebrations are this Sunday as China in London invites us all to Chinatown:
This year looks set to top that, with around 300,000 people expected to come […]
Blogging is great because anyone can do it (look at me), but it takes a little extra something to become renowned for it and to keep at it for a number of years. One of our very favourite bloggers is Annie Mole, whose Going Underground blog is a daily must-read and the very last […]
