It was some kind of cream and fruit creation that looked like a used sanitary towel but actually tasted alright. Mind you, by then my appetite was pretty buggered anyway.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014 -

Having had the misfortune to accidently watch this carcrash of a TV programme I will assume that nobody actually pays these pituary retards to take part?
How sad, low and lacking in esteem must your life be to apply for this programme.
That said however, I'd play the non-sporting card, try to end up going last and serve the pretentious muppets:
Starter - Toast en beurre.
Main - Pescados e fritos.
Desert - Butterscotch a la arsenic (my own modern classic).Sval-Baard Consulting Ltd - we're not satisfied until you're not satisfied.

Good tactic. Has one, fairly fundamental flaw from a "getting away with it" point of view though....Originally posted by Svalbaard View PostHaving had the misfortune to accidently watch this carcrash of a TV programme I will assume that nobody actually pays these pituary retards to take part?

You’ve started me on the Lindenhof in Giethoorn. Started well, with an excellent langoustine bisque; one of the best I’ve ever had. Unfortunately the Jasmine Sorbet, obviously intended to ‘cleanse the palate’, tasted like Toilet Duck, which thoroughly disinfected my palate and left my tastebuds comatose so I couldn’t taste the rest of the meal. The venison with truffle sauce and red cabbage looked nice, but in June?Originally posted by Ruprect View PostIf you can be arsed, it would be amusing seeing all of your comments in one cohesive restaurant review - on whatever the NL equiv of london-eating is...
Shame really, one of those restaurants where people obviously go to be seen instead of to eat good food. A bit too much Argos-bling for my taste.
A really good, top class restaurant is ‘De Librije’ in Zwolle; absolutely one of the best restaurants in Europe, but you have to book 18 months in advance. Still, there’ve been a lot of cancellations recently by sad little wbankers who can’t afford it anymore.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment

Granted the contestants skills aren't up to much but the running mockery by the narrator can be quite entertaining.Originally posted by Svalbaard View PostHaving had the misfortune to accidently watch this carcrash of a TV programme I will assume that nobody actually pays these pituary retards to take part?

Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Hmmm... how to get away with it?Originally posted by Ruprect View PostGood tactic. Has one, fairly fundamental flaw from a "getting away with it" point of view though....
I don't think I'd try to. I'd happily serve a stretch (that's "served" BTW with pan fried fish fingers and pot boiled mushrooms) in chokey to watch these idiots buy the farm.Sval-Baard Consulting Ltd - we're not satisfied until you're not satisfied.
