Did you watch that [censored] poor performance Red?

Unfortunately I watched some of it.

We put in a shocker.

I actually hope NZ smash them.

Agreed! It's possible but the Kiwis lack depth. If their big guns fire they are a chance.

Went out for dinner with the wife and another couple last night and joined by WJ who was solo with his wife away.

I actually thought it was basil Fawlty's restaurant.

The service didn't exist.

No fish or veal as they ran out at 7.00pm.

My wife's meal came 1 hour after the rest of us got ours and was inedible.

WJ and mine came about 20 minutes after the other couple got theirs'.

I actually started to look around for a camera.

As we walked out another table had half the people eating and the other half waiting for their meal.

Lastly we spoke to another table who had been waiting over an hour for something to eat.

I should have gone into the kitchen to say hello to Basil and Manuel.

 

 

This sort of stuff amazes me. The food industry is highly competitive and notoriously fickle. Places than don't bring their A game consistently don't last.

 

Although if it's frequented by lawyers it must be a seedy establishment anyway.

and the name of this fine establishment Red....so we can avoid !! lol

I've heard that they knew in advance a couple of lawyers were to be there.

Other nights its a hatted restaurant.

No wonder the service was bad! Bet the non lawyer made the booking & arrived first.

Taking a big risk on a major law suit.

Not really, my guess is that responding to me has cost two clients 22 minutes and 47 minutes respectively, (based loosely on ability to pay). Getting them to fund a suit against me may be beyond even your remarkable skills, heaven forbid funding it yourself!

NB: Due to diminished capacity, not worth the effort.

Not suing you, suing the Restaurant. Why would we sue you?

Jointly and severally? No, good point why sue me? Mind you we did place a huge takeaway order just as you arrived.

At least be thankful you didn’t have any Germans dining with you at the time!

Typical lawyer...cant answer  the simple direct  question. ... lol

Can't  believe the number of Banana references in commentary of Tour de France.

bananarama not mentioned as a sponsor.Perhaps its a product placement move by the French grocery firm who are a major sponsor.

And bananas! 

I see that british mountains are being covered with banana skins, to the end that hikers are being told not to leave the skins on mountain tops. 8 kilos of skins on Ben Nevis alone. Who is responsible?

[censored] the bananas!!!
