Great places for people you DON'T want to be seen near

 

 
What would we do without very expensive restaurants such as the Michelin-starred, where people pretend to know what they have ordered and then have no idea what they actually end up eating?

Or the hip, with-it establishments such as the Ivy, where people with ridiculous haircuts, riveted heads and silly tattoos are served by people with equally ridiculous haircuts, riveted heads and silly tattoos. Here, guests (not "customers", because "customers" are always right!) eat mussels in such a monstrous way that it makes you want to take them to the restroom and shove their heads down the nearest toilet. With weights across the back of their necks.
 
The answer is really very simple.
 
People you don't want to see strutting their teeth, "kinda-liking", "literallying", "obviouslying" or "super-ing" everything, and those you certainly don't need or want to eat your own meal in proximity to, need somewhere to go! 
 
Let them eat cake . . . . . . as far away from me and you as possible.
 
Although I like goading the often overweight, bearded former Stasi yet otherwise very important employees standing outside with twirled wires coming out of their ears. I shout questions at them and when they ask me to calm down, I reply, pointing at the twirled wire thing, "Oh sorry, I thought it was a deaf aid from the awful shouty Lewis Capaldi muzak bound to be playing at incredible volume inside - mylovemylovemylovemylove"

Airport amusement

There is no doubt that airports can be quite amusing places. That is apart from being told by a burly security supervisor at the x-ray gate that thanks to the only contribution Yasser Arafat ever made to society, I had to remove my belt, shoes, watch and place my AK-47 in the tray provided. Watching people going around their travel ‘business’ in airports and on board the aircraft is hilarious. There are those who are plainly not very good at it, continually checking all manner of minutiae with the other members of the party. “Do we go to the gate?”, “Have we time for a beer?”, “I MUST get a pizza”. There are those who have plainly not done it much before and like their fellow travellers to be made fully aware of the exact opposite, as they point and gesture to the monitor shouting out their destination and boarding gate at every passing opportunity to one and all around them. There are those who think they are something special – despite the fact they are travelling via bu...

Are Camelot dim, dysfunctional, liars or just plain greedy?

There can be no denying that UK lottery operators Camelot are on to a good thing. Especially the overpaid management. They have been reaping the benefits of the franchise for years now - a franchise that in essence, has been licenced by the government to print money. However, I can't quite make up my mind whether the management of the Lotto are dim, dysfunctional, liars or just plain greedy, although the cynic in me answers the question when I consider the chief Executive of Camelot was complaining last year that the annual bonus on her not inconsiderable 7-figure salary had been reduced (conveniently forgetting her 18 year sojourn to date at Camelot has produced a pension we mere mortals can only dream about. How about the poor soldiers, CEO Dianne Thompson, who come back from the far-east minus a leg and have to legally fight for compensation that doesn't even touch what you earn less than a month? And they don't receive CBE's for their troubles either !). Irres...

Why your kids never reply to your mobile communications

A frequent topic of conversation among my own peer group of retired and semi-retired wrinklies is regarding Millennials (born 1981 to 2000) and early Generation Z (2001 to 2020) and their ability to be glued to their mobiles 24/7, yet never replying in a timely manner to a communication from their older kith and kin. They don't reply, yet will gladly get it touch immediately with their own peers to ask, "Do you follow Chardonnay Moron on 'Insta' - she's soooo cool". Yes, cool, but otherwise clueless, and usually an inept, Beluga-lipped, tattooed moron who prefers to spout total crap on 'soshul meeja' on topics they in reality know absolutely nothing, using this as a job, instead of actually working gainfully for a living. " Like, follow and share " are the only three words these wastes of space know. Yet they are the new Messiahs of the Millennials and Gen Z, and woe betide any Millennials or Gen Z who might miss one single word - spelt wron...
