What's that noise?
I went back to work on Monday fearing that I would hear the dreaded crunching of egg shells as my chums tippy toed round me. I'm prone to emotional outbursts at the best of times but given the current situation I would have understood if they were a touch wary of me. I didn't need to worry. I wasn't back five minutes but I was being regaled with the usual fantastic tales of woe and magnificent accounts of customer uncouthness and hideousness. Oh how I missed the humdrum yet reliable hideousness and uncouthness of customers. Bless their little open mouths.
The best of these stories was the lovely woman who ordered lovely tuna and then poured lovely creamy pepper sauce all over it. This was washed down with expensive Chablis. Waiters peered from behind plant pots and and through the cracks in the velvet curtains as she gulped it down, one fishy peppery forkful after the other. Pepper sauce? With tuna? It's just so wrong. I mean who does that?
Cheers for all the well wishes and what have you. Normalish order will return with a proper post on Wednesday.

Bad manners are a great distraction, for sure.
I didn't know they still even made chablis! I thought that died with the 80s.
Stay strong, Manuel
Much love, Manuel.
Sorry, not cool? Fucken lame-ass fools then! They will keep a special place in hell for their gastronomically ignorant ways!
Chablis, pepper sauce and tuna.
That's a #2 special, isn't it?
a reminder that life - and bad table manners - endure. did the chef see this? might have been even more entertaining...
how is it that three lovely things can become such a mess together, sugar? ;) xoxox
LMBO here because wv is: folly
Normalish is good when things are topsy turvy.
Normalish?

Anyone who uses pepper sauce like that only deserves to get tuna from a tin. I hope it repeated on her like buggery.
Thinkin of you, man.
Datsuncog: repeats at both ends I hope......cheers dude
Sounds like my mother being adventurous in the kitchen....2 words, garlic turnip...NIIICE!
Thinking of you
Hmm maybe she fancies herself the as the Belfast Blumenthal? :)
That's nearly as bad as eating a sausage roll with red sauce!
When I was in catering, I watched a woman butter a whole piece of pie. She then proceeded to steal the whip off the other pieces of pie preset at the other places at her table and pile it all on her buttered pie. Watching her eat it was almost an invitation to an eating disorder.
