Edward Sullivan

[nickerlesslondon]

Does anyone read that lucky b@@@ard Edward Sullivan in the London Evening Standard? How much do I have to pay to do his job? Offers are invited at my email address.

yes, i do read him and i think that he comes across as deeply sleazy.  he used to spend far too much of his review space talking about dates called things like slack alice.  i think, from his recent work, his editor has thankfully had a small word.  he appears to be quite knowledgeable about beers, but little else.

What day does he appear? I get the Standard on a Wednesday for Fay Maschlers reviews and sometimes on a Friday for the food and drink in the magazine, but this chap has completely escaped my notice.

He's in the pubs & bars bit on the website, looks like he writes for the Monday edition

I think he writes in the Hot Tickets supplement on Thursdays. I don't know about him being a lucky bastard. Would you feel lucky if you were once America's most successful talk show host reduced to writing about pubs for a living?

had a friend of a friend who was contributing to the timeout bars and pubs guide a couple of years ago. their brief was basically to visit as many pubs as they could in the Islington area expenses paid...

... does work get any better?
