You ought. Another one of mine, when I'm in a reception area, waiting for someone, and haven't been offered a brew, is to enquire of the receptionist - "Excuse me, do you have a coffee machine on this floor?" Cue embarrassed receptionist attending to your brew and biscuit-u-lar needsthebish wrote:Bruce Rioja wrote:^^^ At yonder restaurant the other night one of the cheeses was the most magnificent Danablu that I've ever eaten.

You MUST have used the old dog collar to similar effect on at least one occasion, Bish. Come on, let's have one.

Been to the Shoulder for lunch. One day I really should try something other than their cheese pie - but I just can't. Best on earth.

Cept they're not actually crisps.
You can judge the whole world on the sparkle that you think it lacks.
Yes, you can stare into the abyss, but it's staring right back.

Dear me. Gregg Wallace's restaurant takes a panning, the likes of which I don't think I've ever seen before (And bear in mind I've read Winner's Dinners)

Not tonight, right about now. I've invented a new sarnie and it's ver ver very tasty: beef, potato salad, cucumber, a bit of horseradish sauce in a brown bap - slightly chunky but worth it.
That's not a leopard!

It sounds hideous. Though you wonder how much Gregg Wallace has to do with it given he's not a chef and I'm assuming someone just asked him to put his name to it...thebish wrote:Bruce Rioja wrote:Dear me.

However, given the literally hundreds of amazing places to eat in London, can't see that one lasting for long.

Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?
I went to one of those Toby carvery places last night at the Watergate for somebody's birthday. Not normally into these carvery efforts as they're usually shite and filled with some utter cretins and dregs of society, but I must say....... £5 all you can eat and was very nice! Apparently they're shit on Sundays as everything's a bit rushed. But the beef was nice and tender (served slightly pink too, which isn't really common for that kind of place) and the Pork and Crackling was surprisingly decent.
Couple of pints for me, vodka soda water for the Missus and 2 meals set us back £17.
