Booking system, turkish style

Booked a table for four tonight at


Hello there. I am a tremendously popular though unpronounceable local Turkish restaurant

Conversation went like this

"Hello yes?"
"Yes can I book a table for four at eight this evening please?"
"What time?"
"Eight this evening"
"Eight people"
"No for four at eight"
"Okay okay you tell me. What name please?"
"Peter"
"How do is it spell?"
"P-e-t-e-.. are you still there?"
"Yes you tell me please"
"P - e - t - e - r"
"Peter?"
"Yes!"
"Okay good. See you tonight"
"Okay thank you, yes we'll be there at eight. Name of Peter"
"Yes okay Thomas. See you tonight"

Actually, it didn't matter. When we got there they didn't have any reservation under any name.

Great meal though. Highly recommended. Booking essential

Rising Damp and The Master Builder

Went to see Ibsen's The Master Builder starring Ralph Feinnes.



Hello. I'm Ralph Feinnes. I'm terribly handsome.


It was very very good, especially Mr Feinnes.


Except he looked and sounded exactly like Rigsby

 I must tell you Hilda, what this sort of luck feels like! It feels like a great raw place here on my breast!!!
