Burglary With Style
"Robin Hood had it. The Great Train Robbers had it. Bonnie and Clyde had it in spades. Prometheus. The Artful Dodger… the list could go on. Great thieves, ladies and gentlemen. Robbers with style. Bandits with a bit of class. You can’t help admiring them. The guts. The arrogance. The sheer chutzpah of their endeavours..."
Pocketropolis celebrates the great thieves of our time right here.

Embarrassing Bodies
"Do we really need to see a prolapsed cervix up close and personal in grindingly red HD ready Technicolor? And the poor man having a catheter inserted down his jap-eye... was the macro lens really essential? We just didn’t need to see it. It added nothing to the show. It enhanced my viewing pleasure not a jot except to provoke in me the same feeling of revulsion I sometimes get when I pass a butcher’s shop window early in the morning..."
Bloggertropolis opens the speculum as wide as it will go right here.
Spokesperson For A Generation
"Up until now I’ve steered clear of commenting on Jade Goody’s death because I figured my opinions wouldn’t be particularly helpful or palatable for all they’ve been passionately held. I bit my lip when the news channels gave up the whole of Mothering Sunday to eulogize Jade’s passing. I bit my lip at the comparisons with Princess Diana (WTF?)! And I ripped my tongue out by its root when live footage of Jade’s funeral cortege actually made it live onto CNN..."
Bloggertropolis stands firm with Parky right here.
Jules Theft
"Anybody who champions Wainwright has got to be a decent honest person in my opinion. Us hillwalkers have got to stick together (unless we’re actually hillwalking in which case a bit of solitude is the unstated prerequisite). She’s also a brunette. A fact sure to win my unswerving loyalty. And she has a great voice. Sort of smoky and chocolaty at the same time. That proves her innocence. No further evidence is needed..."
Bloggertropolis wants to take Julia Bradbury in the hills and the valleys right here.

New Leamington Today Reviews...
The Jug & Jester
"The Jug is that weird animal - the "crossover pub". It seems to attract people from all walks of life: office workers, students, barge living crusties, knickerless Top Shop girls and sweaty bummed footie fans..."
The Jug & Jester has had a facelift. Pocketropolis inspects the scar tissue and checks that the jugs are still nice and firm. Read the review here.
Paprika Club
"The Paprika Club is an excellent venue at which to entertain family, friends or that hot date into whose quivering knickers you so fervently wish to leap, tongue akimbo. My only problem with the place is the décor. Last time I was there the walls were as crisp and white as hospital bedsheets and the furniture - a collage of purples and blues - looked liked it had been stolen from the Business Class lounge of an international airport..."
