Scientists are a bunch of fun sponges, basically. Probably socialists. They see something enjoyable - anything enjoyable - and label it cancerous.
Pokster-style chip-pissers to a man.

Yes, I saw that as well. Life seems to give us cancer, Charles, so let's make the most of our time here before it gets us.Originally Posted by Sir C
On that note, the sister and the wife have forced me to attend the theatre, some time in June. Play starts at 7:30pm and we're looking for a pre-theatre dinner location. A casual, trendy, foody place that we will be able to get a table at for around 5pm or so.
Got any recommendations? Chaws.
5 pm for a pre-theatre supper? Blimey.Yes, I saw that as well. Life seems to give us cancer, Charles, so let's make the most of our time here before it gets us.

If you're after trendy, everyone is all over Temper at the moment. Otherwise Kiln is quite on Trend.
My usual pre-theatre favourites are (the oyster bar at) J Sheekey, Randall & Aubin or Barrafina (Adelaide St is best).
Most of these are unbookable, of course, but you should be fine going so early.
Well 5:30pm - 6pm is more likely but I want to go early as my understanding is that most pre-theatre places are unbookable and waiting just isn't my thing. I'd rather eat early and have a few drinks to prepare myself for being stuck in a theatre for several hours.
Barrafina I believe I have heard of as being very good, possibly from you. Thanks.
At Barrafina you'll probably want to get there pretty close to 5 to get a seat. By 5:30 they'll be queueing.
What monstrosity are you being forced to endure? Is it something 'modern' (i.e. written after 1600)? If so, it will be shït.
Something involving someone from Homeland who the wife knows that is described as a 'dark comedy'.What monstrosity are you being forced to endure? Is it something 'modern' (i.e. written after 1600)? If so, it will be shït.
It will be **** and I'll spend two hours shifting around in my seat desperate for a drink.
Sheeky's would be my suggestion
The recent refurbishment was a triumph. They changed... nothing
What kind of a cünt would even consider eating a non-crispy roast potato? Literally what would be the point?
This will alter the way I roast potatoes or toast bread not one jot.
More by accident than design, I made an absolutely fantastic dinner last night. Rump of lamb pan fried and basted with butter, red wine and rosemary jus reduced to sticky, savoury unctuousness and a meltingly soft and garlicky dauphinoise with just enough Parmesan in it for umami. Nothing fancy - indeed pretty simple meat and potatoes, really - but everything in it was spot on.
