Loads of teenagers don't drink or if they do have only one/two drinks. It's just etiquette of getting people to talk to you on the first few weeks. The spirits were used up by the end of the year.
Sorry watching the Paralympics. Puzzled how you can do high jump with one leg, a triathlon with a false leg, and jump up and down when you are top heavy with legs amputated below the knee."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

However, he wanted it vegetarian; and it wasn't for him, it was for somebody who was sending him text messages; and one of the delivery drivers was off sick, which meant the manager had to make deliveries, which meant the chef was having to deal with orders, and her English skills are not very good at all. And she was trying to take orders over the phone at the same time as dealing with this bloke.
Luckily the manager came back, by which point he had text messages - or, given the time it took for the Chinese people to parse them, Google translations - in Chinese which he showed to them. Once they'd deciphered them, the main thing seemed to be "no oyster sauce", and they told him they don't use oyster sauce in the Singaporean curry anyway. So hopefully his boyfriend (I'm making an assumption, but if you heard him speak, you'd assume the same thing) was happy with it.
But the drawn-out palaver meant I was in there for about ten minutes before I even got to place my order; and the chap they'd called in to help the chef so that she could also deal with taking orders doesn't cook as well as the chef doesComment
