thursdays lunch
todays lunch was lasagne1
basicaly yesterday paul was going on about this place on poland st, that does the best lasagne in the world...ever........ (or more acurrately in soho)
so we went ot his place otday, although i didnt cat the name of it
what: lasagne
cost: 5.90
quality: really good, very tasty , although i think my appetite has shrunk because im so full now... all this healthy living has made it harder to eat heartier meals. anyway it would have been great had the waitress not been so bloody surly!
wel i only tipped her 60p! so neeeeeeeeer!
who surly now ? eh? (yeah probably still her)

yo, street lingo, yo
so this lunchtime i thought i woudl buy myself some pants........yes pants, at some point we all need to buy some. anyway i went to uniglo (who make very good pants by the way), picked up my underwear, and took it to the till, which i might point out was unmanned.
anyway, after several minutes of looking slightly irritated in a british kind of way, some kid came over. now, i dont think i know anywhere that used credit cards by swiping them any more, pretty much everywhere is chip and pin. so when i come to pay and slot my card into the reader...he goes
'180 dat card'
....i said "sorry?"
'180 dat card'
...um....... theres me thinking, i beg your pardon young sir, what do you mean
'flip the card'
oh right, flip it over you mean, and re-insert the card the correct way up (although this would in face be the first chip and pin machine ive used to read the card upside down...but never mind that, thats not the point).
i mean how was i expect to know '180 dat card' ment turn it over....clearly uniglo clerks are a little too street for me, i should just stick to marks and spencers!
WORD!

like minded fellow
morning
so i picked up a copy of 'shortlist' today, its a free mens mag in the same vein as nuts and zoo, but with much less boobs, given out on a thursday in london. (and other places im sure, but theres where i get mine)
i tend to keep my eye out for these every thursday as they are generally quite a good read, the column im particularly fond of though is by a writer/producer called 'danny wallace' who wrote the book 'yes man'. i read this book last year, and really enjoyed it, more than anythiung though this guy seems to be of a like mind as myself on a variety of topics and in face in the way he writes, so its always an entertaining read for me!
anyway, you can find more about shortlist here
oh also of note is that todays article is about sandwiches, something which i am yet to rant about on here, but which i feel very strongly about!

wednesday lunch with the big man!
so todays lunch was with mr paul! we went to vital ingredients and then back to the work cafe, which is based in another building, which is much nicer than our own and has better seating for lunch!
anyway vital ingredients is a salad place, its basically the argos of the salad world, although with much better quality!
i had a cobb salad
cost: 5.25
quality: very good, although i think i had way too much blue cheese dressing, must remember to cut back on that.

thin or thick pancakes
so yesterday was shrove tuesday, and as is tradition, we used up all our leftover items from the cupboard before fasting for lent.............
....ok so thats not entirely true, we went out out and bought extra maple syrup, blueberries, bananas, toffee sauce, nuts, cream, milk, toffee sauce, creme freshe and nutella............
....but the essence of shrove tuesday was there
anyway this is besides the point, what i actually wanted to talk about was the choice of think or thick pancakes, like very briton, i was brought up on think, flappy lemon and sugar pancakes, and theres nothing wrong with this....until you vist america and realise that you can make pancakes a whole lot thicker....smaller too.............but much thicker and therefore more robust... they seem more filling and are easier to flip, but are they tastier???
well i dunno, my girlfriend claims she prefers the thin ones, i mean to me a pancake is a pancake, i think the thicker ones certainly take longer to eat, and when stacked they are a hearty meal for any man, so for me the main difference is how well they flip....and its more fun to flip the thick small pancakes than big floppy ones.....
so there you have it.

whispers on the tube
ive noticed today how everyone talks very quietly to each other on the tube, i dont mean to your mate, who you'll probably talk quite loudly to in fact, i mean when you bump into somene and go...
"sorry"
but in the quietest raspiest voice you ca manage....
also
"excuse me"
no idea why, i think people strain to be curtious, or dont want to get noticed....either way, just something i noticed today.

actors are using their fame to further their own careers!.....SHOCK !
ok so yesterday i saw one of those evening standard ads outside the newsagents that read:
actors fight demolition of local theatres
or something to that accord..........and it bugged me....i mean ive got nothing against the maintainance or theatre, or keeping old landmarks, in fact im quite in favour of it, but it bugs me actors stand up for this, but bugger all else...i mean its not like you get headlines that say
best plumbers fight to save local swimming baths
no it has to be a bloody celebrity! but what gets me is that this particular thing, 'celebs fight ban of local theatre' is so clealry routed in their own buisness...its where they work, so clealry they are going to fight to keep it open, its good buisness! i mean if you were a baker and they were going to close your backery to put in a a bypass, you would fight it, but it wouldn't be newsworthy....no because your not a celebrity baker....
look at kevin spacey and his sucess in keeping the old vic open.......because hes kevin fucking spacey...and now he virtually runs the place. you know if you go to their cafe in the basement of the old vic, its filled with black and white photos of kevin spacey, its like a shrine!
anyway, the point to this rant, is that celebritys dont deserve to be newsworthy simply because they are doing something to furhter their own careers, woohoo keep a theatre open, well done, get a fucking medal and shut up, or go and do something useful!
thats what i think anyway.
