It's no fun taking the pïss out of Greeks or Greek food without Nic here to get irate about it.
Yes, I thought that as well as I posted it.
I hoped Luis might offer a token defence of them. There wouldn't be nearly the deranged passion but beggars can't be choosers etc
Besides I was going for deranged passion as requested
Oh, well, if that was a Nic substitute play then there is only one thing to say.Besides I was going for deranged passion as requested
Well played.
Thank you my friendOh, well, if that was a Nic substitute play then there is only one thing to say.
Well played.
There was a mandarin duck in a lake near where i live (it escaped from a wildlife park). I was going to post a picture of it but there just wasn't any point.
Ate rather wonderfully well, actually. Simple cuisine but very nice. The lamb shank I had in the town's best restaurant was quite superb. As for the people, they were very nice, couldn't do enough for you. I would much rather be surrounded by Greeks than, for example, Canadian, who tend to be boorish oafs, in my experience.
And finally -seriously, how someone who actually chooses to holiday in the cesspit that is Dubai can comment on any other destination is beyond me
Nah, Greece is a dump, the people are miserable and unhelpful and describing the food as basic is being kind. What it really is is boring at best and awful at worst.Ate rather wonderfully well, actually. Simple cuisine but very nice. The lamb shank I had in the town's best restaurant was quite superb.

And I have never taken a holiday in Dubai in my life. I fly into Dubai, and then transfer to a wonderful resort in Fujairah where the staff are fantastically helpful, the weather is hot and sunny and the food is magnificent. Now you could rightly point out that I haven't actually holidayed in Fujairah, I have just sat in a resort in Fujairah. Which is true, and that's the way I want it.
Put my resort in Greece and would I go to it? Certainly, provided it contained no miserable, unhelpful Greeks and they had nothing to do with my food. Hope that helps.

I'm glad you enjoy your holidays in the UAE - they sound incredibly tedious but that seems to suit you.
Thanks for letting me know that all the happy, helpful Greeks I encountered were in fact miserable and unhelpful. And as I said, the food was lovely. But you know best obviously. Stupid ****
