    I do that until they look bored or I run out of material, by which time it's time to order. Then I read a book.

      I think you need to find some new restaurants.
      And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

        they can keep it
        Ironically, I'm currently one of those permies - except minus the career path and pension. Which is why I'm posting here..

          Currently in Pizza Express, Holborn resisting the urge to order a bottle of wine!

          I raise a glass to my fellow contractors sitting on a table for one
          Try La Porchetta. I sued to live near their branch on Stroud Green Road (when it was the only one). IIRC they have a branch on Southampton Row.

          I like eating on my own, but haven;t done it for years. I like to take a book to a curry house.

                  Table for one in restaurants countless times over many gigs in the UK, Europe and the US.

                  Try to find a table for one in Dublin, Nice or Cannes. C***s.

                    How do you start a bottle of wine and not finish it? I don't understand.
                    Will work inside IR35. Or for food.
