...Scottish pub recently turned away a respectable patron for sporting Burberry accessories. (The situation recalls other brand hijackings, such as Mitsubishi-tagged ecstasy tablets and gangster-rappers praising Lexus.) A Burberry spokeswoman pointed out that it does not need the attention - half-year profits rose 21% this year. Dubbed "Suburberry" for spreading beyond its niche, the brand may be getting too familiar. Burberry - majority-owned by retailer GUS - needs to broaden its look "and reinforce its price and distribution," says Andy Palmer, account director at London-based ad agency St. Luke's. The company is trying to wean itself...
...audience tonight at Graham Norton doesn't look all that gay - although some folks sure do seem happy, having apparently popped into a pub for a pint or two before attending.

The crowd is a bit older and I am pretty sure I saw my former Government TF flirting up a storm at the bar. Cambridge Common is most fun if you come accompanied by a group of rowdy friends—it’s perfect for a big, informal get-together. Otherwise, you might get a bit lonely and the crowd isn?...
...jaunt into Porter need not be a planned event, though it may be best enjoyed if a group of people knows what they want. The venues listed above offer different tastes of nightlife—from a friendly pub, to a music hub, to the bar with a signature drink, to a date destination—and there is something for everyone. The best part about Porter is that on the sure-to-be-wobbly walk home, you are only likely to encounter Harvard Law students—a change from the same undergraduate sketchiness that would occur...
