The Londonist flag is flying at a respectful half mast today: London’s oldest columnist has gone to the great printing press in the sky at the age of 101.

Laid-back London listens to a listless 90 bpm*: it’s northerners who top the toe-tapping leagues of Britain with the Scots on 160bpm. It’s probably just to keep warm.

Howzabout getting off your face and doubling your chest size simultaneously? A London company is marketing an astonishing new device. Londonist won’t be getting one as we’ve never tried to conceal our love of the liquor.

Shame on us: Londoners are apparently apathetic when it comes to Shrove Tuesday. Londonist is just off to prove ‘em wrong.
