My sorbet arrived and was melting long before my partner's profiteroles arrived. Even after he went and told them that we'd like to eat together PLEASE- it still took half a godamned century ! He got pretty mad and reckons that he doesn't believe that the 'locals' happily eat alone all because the waiting/kitchen staff could't organise a chook raffle. Need we mention that the waitress came for our initial food order when the drink order hadn't been taken...mm....it's really a bit much sometimes.
So anyway, we've decided to create and present a card to each restaurant we visit. This card would state our 'dining terms and conditions'.
E.g We expect a drink order to be taken before the food order. We expect that the drinks will arrive before the food. We expect that any courses ordered will be delivered together because we are DINING TOGETHER you morons ! Jeezaloo ! We expect you to check on our drinks but not steal them when we're still drinking. We expect that you TRY to think outside the box cos we're paying for this service ! AND IF YOU CAN'T DO ALL THIS PLEASE TELL US NOW SO THAT WE CAN FIND A PLACE THAT CAN LAH ! Aghhhhh 
, my memory is! 
My bad. I'm not even sure who the post belonged to. I meant to delete MY post but it looks like I blew it and deleted the wrong post. My apologies to whomever it was, as it was not done deliberately but at 1 am after a long Chinese Dinner I think I was nodding out and didn't pay attention.
As it looks now, you are replying to your own post What THE ?
on a bingo night, but i guess it serves its purpose. Until you meet the one that doesn't give a shit. Then what do you do?
