lethargy

I was completely in awe of Carlo. Spaghetti Junction, downstairs in the Sea Terminal, was my introduction to 'proper' dining out as a little fella. Fancy chequered tablecloths, those absurdly-massive pepper grinders, proper grated parmesan, and a beautifully unhinged chef/proprietor who made us feel so very welcome, as he sang and yelled his way through cooking our tea.

That's really not how it works.

How do you expect it to be open when it is a) without a tenant to run it and b) currently being refurbished?

I think he's let everyone know where he lives by now.

Not on your life, my Hindu friend!

I think they prefer 'Living Hope'.

Got the Chaise Wrongue.

Aye that seems about right!

Going by the logo and web/FB presence (and bizarre choice of header image), this doesn't seem to be affiliated with the larger chain that John's linked to.

All those whinging about being on the receiving end of a ban/time out give me a strong 'kicking off at bouncers after they've chucked you out' vibe.

Tbf I don't exactly think that's unique to the island.

Oh dear.

Keep digging. It'll be deep enough soon.

He was taking the piss. The whole idea that you must not mention that anything bad has happened/potentially happened until an official statement has been released is utterly bizarre. I can understand not discussing identities etc in a public forum but otherwise why would you not talk about it? It's part of the racing, after all.

@Gladys - Definitely.

How much do you think a professional secretary should earn? It's banded, so there's a minimum of 30k for the role too, not that 36k is a high salary. Do you think they shouldn't be entitled to a pension?

You do comprehend the notion that people can both want to heat their homes and not live in abject misery with fuck all social life because the gas bill has left them utterly broke? You're one step away from wanking on about people not being poor because they have FLAT SCREEN TELEVISIONS and SMARTPHONES. Give over.

edit - incorrect quote

The obsession on all sides, love or hate, with the funfair is and has always been absolutely bizarre, and now we have yet another bellend wading in and bringing it into the national parliament? I'm sure you would appreciate my support Jason but there's as much chance of that as winning a fifty quid note on the hoopla. No wonder they're a fucking laughing stock.

I don't know how long it's been since you've been drinking in local pubs across the UK, but I can confirm (and I am very scrupulous about conducting my own research… hic…) that those prices are miles higher than general pub prices. The poster above me is absolutely correct - festivals and events always charge fortunes for shite booze in paper cups because they're a captive market. There's a reason why fake handbags/bumbags etc that have refillable booze bladders in them are so popular come festival season…

This is a long-held fallacy. Think about it logistically for a second - that approach simply would not work at anywhere near the scales JDW operate. They sell cheap beer because they buy it by lakeful.

The Peter Principle definitely applies in lots of those cases.

What can I say? The public love me!

The rate given by Public Health England is 21.3 cases per 100,000, as of May 6.
