R.I.P.

Filed under: Anglophilia

A fire in London's Camden area devastated the legendary Hawley Arms pub, a favorite of Amy Winehouse and Kate Moss, this past weekend.

"In a word, I'm devastated," Ruth Charles-Ridler, the pub's landlady, said as she arrived at the scene to assess the damage Sunday morning. "Everyone I've spoken to is in complete shock. This was a good community pub where everybody knew everybody else. It is a great loss to Camden Town."

We'll have to have a drink for the Hawley tonight!

Skip the drink Perez and go straight to the CVS and buy a new razor to put an end to that thing you are wearing on your balloon sized head.
Amy is gonna rebuild the Hawley Arms so dont worrry about that. Worry about how your "career" is taking a nosedive since you melted that plastic toy from China on your head.
