*waits for Portuguese specialists to come along and tell me I'm wrong*

My surname's Portuguese

Might have known you'd stick your nose in

That's not nice

Not my fault my surname's Portuguese

 

[quimcunx]

I would have guessed that if it was grilled it would be fresh. Anything in a sauce I would assume was salt-cod.

*waits for Portuguese specialists to come along and tell me I'm wrong*

I particularly asked him about the dish. Salt cod is very different from fresh. He can't assume that everyone is an expert and wasn't talking like he thought I was. I am in the right and he is in the wrong.

And by association you are in the wrong.

If you're bloomin' Portuguese then prove it... get baking

I didn't say I was Portuguese

You are right (god it hurts to type that), he shouldn't assume. But then there are lots of basic things they need to start doing in there. Like working out a system for taking orders for instance. And making sure the custard tarts are crispy. And clearing out that loo

I didn't say I was Portuguese

Oh, so now you take it back!

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Oh, so now you take it back!

I don't take anything back. I have a Portuguese surname.

 

[brix]

I don't take anything back. I have a Portuguese surname.

And what's that got to do with the price of (salt) fish anyway? Hmmm?

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Absolutely fuck all

especially as I'm not Portuguese

 

[quimcunx]

Minnie, you shouldn't have teased brix with your portuguese surname, knowing you had nothing to offer beyond that.

Brix, don't think I've forgotten about the loo incident.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Minnie, you shouldn't have teased brix with your portuguese surname, knowing you had nothing to offer beyond that.

But isn't that what Minxes are meant to do?

Brix, don't think I've forgotten about the loo incident.

She owes me a custard tart or two for dangling that red herring (salted or otherwise).

The 'loo incident' was very funny. I am cheered now just thinking of it.

Onkey's not going to be happy with you calling them custard tarts

I have a Portuguese surname and I spent three days in Lisbon once

See, now you and Quimmy are talking about loo incidents and teasing everyone else who doesn't know about this incident

a) I don't bloody care what Onkey thinks. What does he know anyway - he only eats one custard tart at a time
b) But surely that makes you at least half Portuguese?
c) Ah, my plan to make my day out with quimmie sound more interesting than it really was (bless her, but she's a bit dull, eh?) is working.

 

[quimcunx]

Does our time in Whaddon mean nothing to you, Brix?

 

[brix]

Does our time in Whaddon mean nothing to you, Brix?

Well it clearly meant nothing to you - you can't even spell Waddon properly.

 

[quimcunx]

I was too busy gazing at you, accusingly to notice such a triviality.

 

[brix]

The whole "Waddon incident" was clearly your fault and had nothing WHATSOEVER to do with my not being clear. OK?

 

[Onket]

a) I don't bloody care what Onkey thinks. What does he know anyway - he only eats one custard tart at a time

Incorrect. I eat one Pastel at a time.

The last time I had a Custard Tart they came in a box, two of them, and I ate them both.

So there.

That's outrageous and downright greedy

 

[Onket]

Agreed.

Have they fixed the seats at the windows yet?

Went Saturday, asked the staff how to work them so they didn't go all the way down and no one knew

Then asked if they were broken, and got told yes

Bit shambolic, but I will be back for non-fry-up brekkie as I like it there

Downstairs looks ace for hangover recovery/lurking about away from the light

Incredibly shambolic especially if you've got someone disabled trying to sit on them without offering any help. Lucky we're not like Americans. We'd be falling off and suing them

I didn't go downstairs as there was a private party going on.

I'm unemployed after this week though so I may make another visit

PS: I am however glad to hear that they are in fact broken and it wasn't my b/f just being too stupid to be able to use them

 

[Onket]

They made 'Portuguese Custard Tarts' on Masterchef the other night. This basically means I have been correct all along on this thread. Thanks.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Paulo'z Way is shut


















for two days whilst they carry out "improvement works".

Maybe their fixing the chairs?

 

[Onket]

Maybe their fixing the chairs?

they're

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

they're

I know

Obviously I meant to say they're having their chairs fixed

Did you mean to say it riddled with errors?
