Saturday 26th<\/sup> March 2011<\/p>\n

Scotts \u2013 it\u2019s a restaurant in Mayfair. You may have heard of it.<\/p>\n

I was there last night with the Australian branch of the Poor Little Rich Gays. Sonny Hammond, over from Rome (whence I hope to board shortly), Connor Cadoux, now restored to London from Brussels and re-deployed in one of the best banks, and Storm Benson, who is actually Canadian.<\/p>\n

Storm thought it was J. Sheekey\u2019s so was late. It could only have been J. Sheekey\u2019s, the Ivy or Scott\u2019s.<\/p>\n

The Australian Poor Little Rich Gays are high, high, but also low, low, as we shall see. Whatever field they\u2019re in, they lead it. Connor is unsurpassed in financial regulation. He is planning a \u00a370,000 refurb of his apartment but filthy Lambeth Council (Joanna Lumley is a neighbour) have turned it down. This is how we started. Connor had a Martini, of course. Nothing will stop this refurb, also of course. Then we plunged. Storm is just returned from Sydney. There was a vast terrain to cover. Now be warned, the Australian Poor Little Rich Gays are filthy. At a gathering, an appalling, peeling, blistered old queen in tiny shorts had shown his parts, merely by way of illustration, not with any evil design. \u2018I don\u2019t even know you,\u2019 Storm had protested. The waiter couldn’t help smiling, I noticed, as he poured. Elsewhere in Sydney, a Poor Little Rich Gay had bitten off the ear of a sauna bouncer. So it went on. Rent boys, kept boys, cocks, bums,\u00a0 pyscotic, knife-wielding trade, rape charges. \u2018Don\u2019t worry, I\u2019m not listening,\u2019 the waiter said. Nearby diners were soon small heaps of ash, swept up with waiterly grace by the waiters – an unusual duty for them, you’d have thought.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re still shocked, you know, after all these years.<\/p>\n

Over \u00a0pudding, we were all quite agreed about agapanthus. Such a good plant for a pot, although it might break it. Flowers long-lasting. And architectural.<\/p>\n

Connor complained about his steak (\u00a330). \u2018Tough,\u2019 he said. An official appeared. Connor bantered, smiled and waved him and his offer (whatever it was) away. At\u00a0 least the twin aims of Poor Little Rich Gays re: staff were achieved: to terrorise and to entertain as never before.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t think we\u2019ll take Scott\u2019s again. Dubious unknown international clientele. Brown interior. Horrid common fake flames outside, just pieces of cloth being blown. \u00a3113.90 each.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
