Musician Carl Barât dines at Browns, buys antiques in Cecil Court and fancies himself as a mudlarker
Yeah, I've had numerous occasions from back in the day down at the old riots. I think we got a bit clobbered, but it felt like a bit of a game, a cat and mouse thing at the time. I once got arrested and put in a cell at Kentish Town and spent the night there. On paper, it was for theft of a moped. But me and Pete [Doherty], we were eyeing up this moped that had been neglected. Nothing particularly glamorous. It looked so neglected and sad, we thought we'd liberate it one rainy evening. It was a bit Miami Vice: an unmarked car pulled out in the middle of the road. We tried to explain we were out of work poets and it didn't really sway it. It turned out it belonged to a one Mr Hesmetzky who subsequently dropped charges. So thank you, Mr Hesmetzky.

Pit Babe (Thai BL) – Season 2 Episode 5 Recap & Review
Broken Trust Episode 5 of Pit Babe Season 2 begins with the X-Hunter team meeting at Pete's place to discuss Tony. Everyone is wary about what Toni could be up to. Babe suggests they try to track him down using his lab orders. Pete agrees it is a good idea and promises to look into it. Later at practice, Dean notes how well North has been doing. Soon, Babe, Charlie, and Sonic join them. Sonic announces he is leaving in a few days, and North is displeased. He immediately starts acting cold towards Sonic. Alan pulls Sonic aside and tries to persuade him to stay back for North. Unfortunately, Sonic says he is done waiting for North and is ready to move on. However, he promises to stay for a while, and North overhears the conversation. Meanwhile, Pete drops by the lab to talk to Chris. Chris insists they treat their one-night stand as just a bit of fun. Pete asks Chris to help him track down Toni through his lab order. Of course, Chris agrees to work with Pete after hours. At the garage, Alan pulls a muscle and decides to start an active workout routine. He is afraid he won't be able to keep up with his young boyfriend, Jeff. The next day, Babe takes him to the gym and teases him endlessly. Later, they drive to Alan's house to enjoy a barbecue with their respective boyfriends. Once again, Babe and Charlie tease Jeff and Alan with no mercy. Later that night, the racing teams meet for a night race. Willy starts flirting with Babe. Babe pushes him away, and he suggests that he can let Babe win if he becomes his. During the race, Willy manages to come head-to-head with Babe. However, he gives up at the last minute and lets Babe win. This pisses Babe off, and he confronts Willy. Charlie grows anxious seeing Willy and Babe talk so closely together. It doesn't help that Willy keeps trying his patience. Thankfully, Babe holds him back, and they leave. Simultaneously, North continues to ignore Sonic. At Pete's house, Chris assures him that he won't betray him. Chris allows Pete to use his powers to sense if he is lying. Once Pete is satisfied, they get down to a heavy make-out session in the pool. Things escalate to a full, steamy love-making session. After the intense sex, Pete passes out, and Chris sneaks into his office. He realises that Pete's password is Way's birthday and looks at pictures of Toni's victims. The following morning, things are still icy between Babe and Charlie. Babe assures Charlie there is nothing to worry about. However, Babe suspects Willy is an Alpha with special abilities and wants to get some proof. He ropes in Dean to help him know more about Willy. Elsewhere, our big boy, Kenta, decides to risk his life and infiltrates one of Toni's secure buildings. He is about to be caught, but Kim pulls up and saves him. Okay, can we admit Kim looked so sexy spinning that car like that? The man that he is! On the other side of town, Toni and Winner continue to work together. Toni is looking to make Babe suffer and is biding his time. Even though he knows that Kenta sneaked into one of his buildings, he is not worried. Speaking of Kenta, he and Kim pay Pete an impromptu visit. They find Pete getting busy with Chris. Pete asks Kenta to talk with Chris there, as he is no longer a stranger. Kenta tells him about his little dangerous escapade and gives him the hard drive he stole from the building. Pete asks Kenta not to risk his life again. After they leave, Kim asks Kenta if he still has feelings for Pete. Kenta doesn't deny the truth, but admits that he knows Pete doesn't feel the same way. Kenta feels unworthy of love, but Kim comforts him. He promises Kenta that he will find his person someday. A few days later, Babe gets more information about Willy. During their practice session, Charlie senses that Babe is up to something. He follows Babe to a spa that Willy visits. Babe starts flirting with Willy, but tenses up when Willy overpowers him. Willy doesn't fall for Babe's seduction scheme and demands to know why he is acting strangely. Babe finally comes clean and says that he wants to know if Willy has special abilities. Willy starts teasing him and suddenly pins him against the wall. Babe's towel drops, leaving him bare ass-naked. Unfortunately, Charlie walks in on them in this precarious position. The Episode Review I am too stunned to process that last scene fully. Where do we even start? Technically, Willy was sexually harassing Babe. Babe was adamant that he wanted to stop and come clean about his reasons for being there. Also, Babe didn't cheat, but Charlie has every reason to be angry. Anyone would be flustered if they caught their boyfriend in that situation. The thing is, Babe had promised he was not up to something, but he was actively seeking Willy out. Will Charlie and Babe make it through this latest blow to their trust in each other? We also have North, who is playing hard to get. Seriously, how hard is it for him to talk to Sonic and make his move? At this point, they just might not happen. Of course, we have Pete and Chris, who can't get enough of each other, but what is Chris up to? Why did he go through Pete's laptop? How does he know Way's birthday? Something feels fishy, but it is possible that Chris is neither a foe nor an enemy. It is too early to tell where his loyalty lies. Let's hope it lies with Pete! Previous Episode Next Episode
