Goths in Camden- Is This It?
Jamie’s Live Internet cook along was… I’m speechless.
He hung out in a North London pad and taught 2 ultra skinny, ultra posh goth kids two recipes. Tom was a fashion student and Ross worked in the Cyberdog store in Camden.
A live message board allowed people to ask questions. The people were mainly mates of the goths and a smattering of Jamie fans from- Oz, NY, China, Israel, Brazil and Texas.
A couple of people from Rotherham were about- and, apparently, they were the only two even pretending to cook along.
Jamie showed his full range- getting ratty with those who were having difficulty keeping up, saying “Big love to the Rotherham posse” to his international audience and saying “fuck” before telling the live texters to keep it clean for the kids watching.
He gave us a classic Jamie fact:
“England is the 3rd most unhealthy country in the world”.
The nations of Africa and Asia must be ecstatic. Their levels of infant mortality and death through malnutrition must have improved massively to outstrip a G8 nation. Nice one Third World.
The whole thing was beyond description. I doubt if it will even make it to the show because obviously nobody was cooking at home (except the two Rotherham groups). Jamie said he thought that the Internet may be the key to getting people cooking. What about books and TV shows as well? Or basically all the other things that already existed before Jamie’s patronisathon.
I was mildly amused by the constant discomfort of Jamie- and his repeated questions:
“Any abuse?”
“Are they giving me abuse?”
He said was particularly worried that someone who had been giving him abuse ever since he’d been in Rotherham may be on the live text chat.
I suspect they just sat and smugly and watched as you dug that hole further.
It’s over pal. And it’s going to piss it down for the street party at the weekend.
Best move them goalposts again.

Like the man said- it’s all about community.
