Dinner

Don't get me wrong - it's great that you've moved on from Budweiser and, what was that other one?

Schitzz?

Now if you can just master paying for a beer and that being the end of it, instead of all this "Hey! service was awesome - here's the 20% extra you'll shoot me for if I don't pay it" bullshit.

**didn’t realise there was a whole extra page**

**bsnub** · 05-11-2021, 07:49 PM

Oh, god. Cheap charlies.

**cyrille** · 05-11-2021, 08:37 PM

The rest of the world orders a beer, drinks the beer and pays for the beer + tax + service charge.

You fuckwits think you've got a better way.

I'm no great fan of IPAs, but I can always find something I like from the selection available in bars/restaurants in the US and the beer is definitely a big draw when I'm heading that way.

As Cy says though, the tips they lump on, added to the already hefty prices, make it a dear do getting pished up in the States. Eating and drinking in the US just isn't value for money as a tourist these days when you compare it to prices elsewhere.

I love it when I'm there though.

Edit: case in point, this is a beer I had in Greenwich Village in the summer after my half-hearted search to find the ghost of Bleecker Bob's:

$6 for just over half a British pint plus tips. What's happy about that?

Were you rude to him? Cos he looks like he hate made that burger

I'd definitely be checking any mayonnaise.

It's a mcdonalds that's been on the back of a bike, wtf you expect it to look like? I could have tidied it up for you but I really don't care.

I'm glad you finally managed to fix the quote. You struggled there a bit didn't you.

Secret sauce is a secret for a reason.

I think I understand what you're trying to convey.

It was delicious.

**hallelujah** · 05-11-2021, 09:29 PM

Ate out and had Turkish last night; I can probably count on the fingers of one hand the times I have been in a restaurant and not ordered hummus. I absolutely adore the stuff.

Cooking Korean (jeyuk bokkeum, stir-fried spicy pork) with a classic British twist

at home tonight. Marinated overnight.

Just looking at recent threads and Willy has been doing quite well recently with his English. I reckon he'd be at least a 7 if he took the IELTS on current form, but I still think his reading needs improvement.

How long has he been studying English?

**malmomike77** · 05-11-2021, 11:01 PM

^ he got himself in a tangle last night, i think he was typing with his nose. It all wiped by his mates

Hoisted by your own petard there mate!

Btw, did you notice the pork in my post above? When I posted that I thought you would have been onto it in a flash (knowing, as you do, the different parts of the world and their predilections)!

One has found himself a (British) pork dealer though: sausages, bacon, honey-roasted ham and pork belly currently reside in my fridge.

Nope too well disguised, you need to be more overt, a whole piggy head perhaps.

We can probably put that in a pie oop norf.

Dil's probably tried to slip his nob in there too. Any hole's a goal!

**malmomike77** · 06-11-2021, 01:02 AM

Braun, saw it in Morrisons the other day, only ooop norf. I love it but didn't buy some - i want to remember me mums homemade which was equally both stunning and worrying. Brain and all.

**Joe 90** · 06-11-2021, 01:12 AM

Pork chop, homemade chips and beautiful baked beans.....

Hmmm beans , is there nothing they can't do?

**malmomike77** · 06-11-2021, 01:26 AM

I see the furniture is still a work in progress Chit, i thought you were going to paint it all or was the me imagining it. is it Ercol?

**Joe 90** · 06-11-2021, 01:34 AM

Can't bring myself to paint that g-plan nest of tables, it's the kids inheritance

**Joe 90** · 06-11-2021, 01:36 AM

Rather you than me, that looks fucking horrific!

I hope you've put the toilet roll in the fridge for the morning!

The Turkish meal looked very nice though
