Work Parties, Chicken and Car Crashes!

New Years Resolution

1) Loose weight
2) Gain Confidence
3) Find Love

These were my resolutions put in place a few days ago, Through trial and error it has emerged that it isn't possible to drink past stage one straight onto stage 2! As a long term plan it just isn't a good idea!

Secondly with new found confidence after copious amounts of beer and a free shot of sambuca and tequila, its not a good idea to play the lead role in a RTA outside your house!. As far as my qualifications take me I'm neither a police officer nor a mechanic or a community support officer. On reflection maybe some of my advice given to the devastated neighbour explaining the damage to his now written off car could be just be polished out wasn't the best advice I could give. Maybe he would of preferred a nice cup of tea.

After a rather strong coffee this morning and some much needed detail from the house mates, the troubles all started the moment walked into Nandos. The over crowded chicken selling hell! I accept that its a very popular place to eat, but just how hard do you have to make eating chicken!

Standard practice in restaurants has been working well for 1000s of years, you come in, sit down, order, have food placed in front of you, pay and leave . . .. this is it! how simple!
So why does Nandos feel the need to challenge you to the assault course of stray children, chairs and buggies to get to the till, create some sort of fantasy meal from microwaved side dishes, sauces and breads! Then just as you think you can sit down for a chat you have to take the empty glasses back through the assault couse to the table to distribute glasses so you can all re do the assault course to pick up cutlery, drinks, sauces etc etc then some how get back with out spilling anything! Then just as you think the hellish ordeal is over they bugger up your meal no end, and trying to get to the end of what sauce, went where with what dish and what chips is degree level hell!
I believe this lead us to peruse slightly better bars and so it begun!

Still thank you very much to Orange for the lovely meal out.
