Saturday 11th<\/sup> December 2010<\/p>\n

Poor Little Rich Gays are absolutely at full gallop. Even Lord Arrowby is out every night, to be sure, that superb governmental thoroughbred. We\u2019re running up to Christmas. The final jump, 15 feet of brushwood with a water feature on the other side, actual Christmas Day itself, we will take with excellent grace, surely.<\/p>\n

This morning I eschewed Lord Arrowby, my part-time love interest, who would have been at old <\/em>Borough Market in his Saturday slap \u2013 special Designer specs, tons of Boots bronzer and a raunchy plastic puffer jacket by Dolce e Gabbana.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t know, Borough Market, in London\u2019s central, was<\/em> the place for high, high produce.<\/p>\n

But now, New Borough Market has swept in. The Multis have been heralding it for some time. Maltby Street, Druid Street, more in the Bermondsey direction, not known to the general. Rare and specialised.<\/p>\n

You must have it.<\/p>\n

The Multis were there this morning, the Blond in a glamorous wide-brimmed hat. \u00a0He bought me a coffee in the Monmouth Coffee House (the Photo Multi said: \u2018This is the absolute headquarters, only open on Saturdays\u2019). At the counter I said, \u2018I\u2019ll have the same kind of coffee as the Photo Multi\u2019s got.\u2019 Multi means multi-millionaire, by the way. \u00a0The Blond Multi said to the server: \u2018What did the Photo Multi have?\u2019 \u2018An expresso,\u2019 the man said firmly. \u2018I don\u2019t think so,\u2019 said the Blond. It turned out the Photo Multi was being confused with Nigel Slater.<\/p>\n

Nigel Slater had been sitting right next to the Multis but they hadn\u2019t even noticed.<\/p>\n

In St John Bread\u00a0 (yes, all part of St John Squirrel and Eel Restaurant) the Blond Multi said, \u2018What\u2019s your best price on the Christmas puddings?\u2019 They reeled. \u2018\u00a330. It\u2019s a lot! What makes them worth \u00a330?\u2019 he continued. Back in Monmouth I had failed to spend \u00a319 on a selection of specialised choc from different countries for the Gay Mother.<\/p>\n

Last night, at Peter Acharya and Ned Czernowski\u2019s Christmas party, Bruce MacBain, my architect, said, \u2018Some decorators don\u2019t paint round light switches so well,\u2019 then cast a dark look in my direction.<\/p>\n

We also met some gays from Norwich whom Peter and Ned had encountered on an Atlantis Gay Cruise \u2013 Venice to Mykonos and back (I think). They said Norwich was a long way from London.<\/p>\n
