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.

 

 

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

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?

Of course this raises all sorts of phone protocol issues

Suppose I .......err ... accidentally drop my phone into the lap of the young lady fortunate enough to be seated next to me?

How does one proceed in this situation?

[beelzebub 23,383]

[Moonshadow 17,677]

Well, she'll be reaching for the sick bag!

Don't worry about it.

Straight for the money.

[Bitter but optimistic 22,249]

Well so much for “ friends in need”!!

[Moonshadow 17,677]

Try not to drink too much on the flight, Uncle. We don't want to read about your unsavoury antics and arrest upon arrival. 

Well...er.... actually, we do!
