Christ no. I'd rather swim the turd-filled Channel. Think high-brow. And then think higher. This man is on TV! Sometimes...

No, can't be, he said it was west of Holborn. It must be Croydon then.

Diego Rivera, Ealing. Oh I can't go on.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 22:49 Tue 03 Jun 2014

You'll go on
This man is a critic. But of things, specifically. He was once a restaurant critic actually. Maybe he still is. AA Gill liked his book.

Brent

This is a hilarious thread. Definitely a good side-tracking from my boring studying (yes husband, I am studying and not lurking on this forum).

SCP-DFF · Post by **SCP-DFF** » 11:28 Wed 04 Jun 2014

Giles Coren.

Are you sure that Giles Coren is west of Holborn?
Not Giles Coren. But you are the closest yet.
He is an Englishman but he lives in Marseille. There is a very particular reason why he lives in Marseille, and it is centrally connected with what he usually writes about.

LGTrotter · Post by **LGTrotter** » 11:58 Wed 04 Jun 2014

Giles Richmond?

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 12:02 Wed 04 Jun 2014

Not Giles Richmond, but I see what you did there. Very good.

SCP-DFF · Post by **SCP-DFF** » 12:03 Wed 04 Jun 2014

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.

Camden

Not that nice Michael Winner.

SCP-DFF wrote:Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.

No.

Another clue. He writes about a very specific and significant branch of design. This is connected with his living in Marseille.

Jonathon meades

Good shout, here's hoping you have managed to 'unite the belts'.

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 14:55 Wed 04 Jun 2014

Jonathan Meades! Indeed. He lives in Le Corbusier's Unité d'Habitation in Marseille and his new book is called An Encyclopaedia of Myself. I am looking forward to it.

Hammersmith & Fulham?

Post by **flash_uk** » 15:52 Wed 04 Jun 2014

OK I have a new question but will wait until the borough is nailed...

Being as Mr Meades once frequented Taunton, and was ruthless about it, much to the outrage of the good burghers, I feel I should have got this. I may invest in one myself.

Now surely we must have covered all those west London boroughs.

Kingston upon Thames?

djewesbury · Post by **djewesbury** » 01:04 Thu 05 Jun 2014

Where's the question master? AWOL. Gorging himself on little gem.

Post by **DRT** » 15:19 Thu 05 Jun 2014

Borough still not guessed.

Post by **DRT** » 15:23 Thu 05 Jun 2014

Clue: apparently it is a nice place for a walk.

And so the thread quietly self-destructs in a logical paradox. If Derek is correct, then he isn’t correct. And if he isn’t, then he is.

It was too difficult to resist.

Much nearer Gödel, or Church.

I will invoke an ancient right and assume control.

I recently visited New York. At which hotel did I stay?

Post by **jdaw1** » 23:14 Thu 05 Jun 2014

The W.

The traditional phrase is to “seize ancient powers”, but I understood your variation.

The Plaza?

Ceased to be a hotel about 10 years ago.

The Waldorf Astoria?

Hopefully not the dump I will stay in next week.......

Perhaps, The Andaz at 5th and 41st.

Le Parker Meridien?

Not the Waldorf, nor the Andaz.

No.

Some clues may be required I suspect.

Post by **flash_uk** » 09:30 Fri 06 Jun 2014

This hotel has less than 100 rooms, so is not a 40 floor massive chain hotel.
