We went to Chiquito this evening. I’ve been to this restaurant a number of times before and have always been impressed – not tonight!
It appeared there were only 3 people running the whole restaurant and 1 chef in the open plan kitchen. No surprises that we were made to wait almost an hour for a table and then another long spell for our food once we finally were seated.
While waiting for our food, we were entertained by a furious female customer. She was as wide as she was tall, and she was very, very tall. She was mad about the massive delay after booking a table for her son’s 18th birthday.“You only get one 18th birthday!” she correctly informed the waiter.
When my food finally arrived, I was not impressed at all. It was cooked, but tasted like it had been left out all afternoon – very cold and dry. I told the manager, who I think was Gus Poyet’s brother, who ran off to the kitchen to fetch a replacement.
The substitute was steaming hot – great for me. Pity for the poor sod it was about to be served to (who Gus informed me would “have to wait”). It was like an episode of Fawlty Towers – a total farce.

- A Great Advert For Piracy
So, as planned, Claire and I went to the cinema to watch The Lion King. The experience was a great advert for movie piracy. Not because the film was poor - far from it (more on that later). The problem was our fellow cinema-goers. The issue with the other Lion King fans, was that they had an...
- An Elderly Couple’s Shopping Trip
It was my wonderful wife's birthday last week. She was celebrating the big '30'. Claire was complaining of being old. Nothing has changed. It is hardly like she transformed from Miley Cyrus to Jackie Stallone, as the clock struck midnight, on the day of her birthday.
Anyway, given the fact I am 36, I hardly think... - Salad Dodger
There is a reason that I try to avoid self-service salad bars - hygiene. Some may call this paranoid. What I witnessed yesterday, gives weight to my reasons to steer clear of these bacteria traps... While visiting a local Harvester restaurant, I observed the comings and goings from the salad counter. It was naturally busy. A...
- My Bank Holiday Weekend
After a very busy week at work, I was hoping for a restful Bank Holiday weekend. What I got was far from relaxing. I was out of the house every one of the three days. I've returned to work for a break!
Saturday was the quietest day. I went to Twerton Park, home of Bath City,... - A Weekend In London
I travelled far, far away from Bath at the weekend. We went all the way to a little village called London - you may have heard of it. Sorry I haven't blogged about it until now, I ended up going to jail and I had to miss three turns, as I didn't have a Get...
About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
