Burning Down.
Obviously a little late but. When watching the footage on the news it was quite shocking. I thought it was the Stables that were on fire and my first thought was that the council were behind it cause they want to put in high street stores, the place already has character flying out the window with the Wetherspoons, Starbucks and Nandos all over the show. It turns out the fire was on the other side of the road in the market by the canal and the Hawley Arms.
Now it's upseting to see any boozer go up in flames but The Hawley Arms is a vacuous shithole full of poseurs hoping for the off chance to be scene with one Miss Winehouse though I suppose you get those sorts of people everywhere, it's just not a comfortable place to drink in. The best place to drink in camden was Proud Galleries but that's gone now, I miss that place, in the summer you could go out on the terrace and drink on these beds or deck chairs with punks and rockers printed on them, before it closed they had it done up like Alice in Wonderland now it'll probably be a Boots. The Enterprise is far enough away from the centre to be safe from the BS yet close enough to be part of the crowd is such a nice pub with dark corners and bright windows depending on your preference and the atmosphere is friendly and there's a Gelateria called Marine Ices right next door for when it's hot in the summer. At the other end of Camden Town There is a nice pub called The Hope and Anchor just behind Koko which is good for a pre gig drink, never normally busy which is the way I like it.
Speaking of pubs, I've still not been to any of my locals this year. After six weeks, I think it's impressive, however, this means i have also not seen any of my "friends" from where I live. I 've been out with other people just four times this yeaar and once on my own. Books are definitley going to feature a lot this year as company, I think. Although I am thirty this year and should probably do something to celebrate if that's the right word. That's not till August abyway so there's plenty of time to um and ah over it

Ah, I remember Proud... shut down now? Massive shame, it was a lovely indoors bar, and the view from the terrace was interesting, to say the least. Great summer pub.
I'm proud of your drinking record, go Mike's liver! Books are the way forward, fo sho. If you want some recommendations, drop me a line. I can always pick the brains of many a literature student :P
