And then we went to a New York / Italian style restaurant for our evening meal. Coke and Cheeseburgers was what most of us chose for, apart from me; I had a nice Caesar salad. Coke + Cheeseburgers + Chips + Teenagers = ‘Will you please stop throwing food at me?’ ‘Hey, that’s my drink you’re putting the salt, pepper and tomato ketchup in’ ‘ Napkins are meant for the floor, table, or clothes, not for polluting my Coke and rendering it undrinkable’ ‘Will you please quieten down? Have you any empathy for the other people in this building?’ ‘Hey, that’s my lettuce and chicken you’re throwing at each other’ ‘That was my chair you’ve just sloshed my Coke over’ ‘Please stop blowing up the party balloons and letting them whizz off into other people’s coffee/tea’ ‘Look now, you’ve made people leave’ etc etc etc. Why were we not thrown out? It was just like the capital of Hell (Pandemonium), and in the midst of it all were waitresses peacefully handing out extra Cokes and desserts. My dessert was bananas and ice-cream... in custard. Ice-cream and custard’s quite nice together. Both are made from milk and egg. I think I’ve just written the longest paragraph in my blog, at two hundred and eighteen words. Go on, count them.
