A 'greenwich' of brohos, that's genius. What about a 'soho' of brohos, even? And forget 'bevvy of beauties' what about a 'bevan of brogans'? Love it.

The palazzo is attracting outsiders. They are not of OUR KIND send them back to Fitzroy.

The Palazzo IS attracting a spillover of Black Cat patrons, it's true. Northcote Plaza has never seen so many stovepipes, black waistcoats and white tshirts, worn back with bleached white sand shoes. You-ni-form.
