Bistro Angst
Pa pa pa da tralala Pa pa pa da tralala Vivaldi's Primavera often heard in bistros not relaxing for the guests But who's here to relax? It's a serious buisness! Is it a good enough restaurant? Worried tourists worry about not getting the 'optimal eating experience' for their Yens Do we really want a steak served on a wooden plank? Would we prefer a wooden stake through the heart? Such questions vex diners in Chianti mode (alcohol helps) Ah! L'estate ! (that thunderstorm bit; glorious) The waiter bounds his way his little pad is ready We are ready, but for one, When she is, the bounding waiter will be gone!
The Tequila Sunset
The Tequila Sunset is any drink. Any drink at all. It's the drink you can lean back, slowly sip and enjoy after you've slammed back a dozen or so shots of Tequila. The effects are approaching, and you will very shortly experience a real Tequila-induced lights out. In a matter of minutes, you will be eclipsed. But until then; savour the Tequila Sunset . Short of Draino, it doesn't really make any difference what's in the glass.
Oyster Card
The 'Oyster Card' promises more than it delivers. Shades of Lewis Carrol, or Wilton's Restaurant; "I say, could I get a squeeze of lemon and a sprinkling of black pepper on my Oyster Card?" Nope. None of that.
