Well it's a Friday and the weekend is almost here. What are fellow UK gaffers going to do tonight?

You know when you're supposed to go out drinking with work colleagues, but you really just can't be arsed - yet you're gonna go anyway because you don't want to be the one that never socialises with work? Yeah, that's me tonight. Can't wait to get to the pub and talk about fucking work all night.

Plus I'm skint and it's my birthday all dayer sesh tomorrow.

Urrgghh.

Oh man that sucks. Have a good birthday tomorow anyway and remember you can always play the excuse card after you've been there for an hour or something so you was there and they can't complain about anything.

I am just going to do gym today and tidy the house and put some washing on (not much to do really) before watching a good film, then roll on Saturday so I can have some good action with a date I've got.

It is Friday indeed, for me this week has gone incredibly quickly. Tonight I will be mostly tiding and cleaning, as my Mum is coming up to stay tomorrow. Have mince in the fridge so no doubt will be making something delicious with that. Apart from chilli, spag bol and shepherd's (or cottage) pie, any other suggestions for mince?

Tomorrow me and the bloke are going to do an afternoon of falconry and clay pigeon shooting, really looking forward to getting my hands on a real gun! Then going out for dinner to a shmancy italian when my Mum and her other half arrive.

Sunday she's going to look at a Rolls Royce she might be buying (she runs a wedding car business) so she'll probably drag me with her then insist on doing something nice together like perousing antiques shops in Greenwich or something (boooooooriiiiing). Still, I don't see my Mum much so I guess it'll be nice.

Meat loaf!

Meatballs with a Macarpone and tomato sauce. Put some cheese in the meatballs too, yum.

Greenwich has the best cinema in the world with the Picturehouse, and the Greenwich Union is an awesome pub. The observatory's got a nice view, there's a big park (being desecrated by the Olympics) and there's a Nando's next to the Cutty Sark right by the river. If you're antique shopping, you're doing it wrong.

Massively defeatist attitude you have there! Make them talk about stuff other than work, find common interests, etc. (This sounds patronising, it's not meant to, I just hate to see people in such a situation)

EDIT: Also, CHEEZMO likes Germany Germany, he's once again redeemed.

Thanks for the info but I'm well aware of all that Greenwich has to offer, I only live up the road, kinda. My Mum, or rarther her other half and therefore her too, just really loves antiques. But not the awesome cool interesting kind, the shitty little shops full of crap and junk kind. And we have to do what she wants to do, 'cause she's Mum.

 

[Mr. Sam]

How can anyone resist the call of Nando's? It boggles the mind.

 

[Suairyu]

How can anyone resist the call of Nando's? It boggles the mind.

Because it's ridiculously over-priced.

It is considered cheap, fast-food in Australia. They decided to market it as fancy when they brought it here. I'm actually amazed they pulled it off.

 

[daviyoung]

Have you been to a Nando's before?

When you order your food at the tills (lol, DIY restaurant), don't ever EVER look at the 'ovens' behind the cashier. It'll scar you for life.

I have a hard time working out what you're paying for in Nando's since you have to get pretty much everything yourself. Knock off a couple of quid if I dunk that 1/4 chicken in that huge vat of fat and grill it for 30 seconds myself?

 

[ZombieFred]

Nando's expensive as fuck. The only saving grace out of it is when I ask for a glass of water so I can avoid paying for a fill up drink and then putting soda or whatever in there for a pal back in the day. I do love a good sly plan when I can get away with it <3

Yeah I've sent out a message to my 'real' friends asking if any of them are out in Cardiff too, so I can sneak off! Good luck with your date!

Massively defeatist attitude you have there! Make them talk about stuff other than work, find common interests, etc. (This sounds patronising, it's not meant to, I just hate to see people in such a situation)

Oh trust me, the people I work with would rather talk about (or rather slag off) the usual shit that goes down here. We never have team meetings, so it's like it HAS to come out in the rare meet ups we have like this. Plus the people I work with haven't got interesting lives anyway. Or rather they don't talk about their lives outside of work.

It's nuts because I'm a completely different person outside of work and having mates that are also completely different means I get up to shit which I can't really talk about to them. When they've seen photos of me on facebook dressed as a woman, or popping my balls out doing 'the brain' or even kissing another guy (it was a bet, I think), it's like 'whoa this guy is CRAZY!'.

Do i look like a hipster ?

 

[industrian]

I'd be too lazy to work out how to tax dodge.

Most of the top 1% earners in the UK must be too. Because they still pay 25% of the nation's income tax.

Fuck this:

I love "food challenges" like this.

There's a steakhouse where I live in Taipei that promotes a 48oz steak challenge. I would take part in it if it didn't cost more than £20. I can buy a week's worth of food for that price.

There's nothing hip about Nando's.

Looks like a place teenage girls go to discuss school. I won't be putting my hard earned cash into nando's for sure.

Theory test booked folks, I am now moving a piece across the chessboard of my life. The piece is being moved into place so i will be ready to take my Road test very soon.

I only move the chess pieces of my life when i really need to.

Yup, there's nothing wrong wearing work clothes when having a hair cut. I do it all the time when I need a trim.

 

[Mr. Sam]

Because it's ridiculously over-priced.

I pay about £10 per meal. I can live with it.

Great, i was a little worried about that. Home at 2pm, haircut, home washed, then il do something looking as fly as a dutch man.

£10 per crappy meal? yikes! I'd rather spend that much in a decent Italian restaurant.

There's a new place just opened in the O2, it's a chain and there's a few of them about so I wondered if anyone here has heard of/been to one and can tell me if it's any good?

http://www.jimmysworldgrill.co.uk/

It sounds too good to be true, all my favourite foods in one place! Plus it will solve arguments about where to eat....

 

[Mr. Sam]

I was supposed to go to the O2 today, then someone vomited and-- it's a long story. I'm intrigued though, sounds tasty. The grill, not the vomit.

I've never even set foot inside a Nandos.

And I have nothing planned, as usual. Home all alone for a week and I can't even get people to come over and hang out with me. fml

Nandos pisses me off.

Tasty chicken (I have to get a two/three person platter for myself though) but I hate that you have to go up and order your food at a till. Place would be much better with waitresses/waiters.

It's poultry-focused McDonalds with a lick of paint, dude. You order at the till like every other fast food joint.

I'd prefer it if it was like the Harvester.

Every Nando's I have been in has someone dedicated to greeting you, seating you, bringing you your food etc. Just go the whole hog and get someone to take our orders.

One time in Newcastle on of the staff came and served us and did everything at the table because I was feeding him the Newcastle score from my phone (The day they came back from 4-0 down to draw 4-4 against Arsenal).
