Good job they do.

I ordered nachos from the pub earlier. They had run out of sour cream and decided to sub it with normal thickened/slightly whipped cream.

I took it back and they asked if I wanted nachos without any cream. Perhaps if they had been honest to start with I may have said yes, but I requested a refund instead.

A 1 or 2 * negative review on TripAdvisor is being considered.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

That's just wrong. As above, I'd rather they were honest and upfront than lie and substitute.

I have grown fond of paneer dishes eg sag paneer. Ordered it from a takeaway near campus and took it home. Imagine my surprise when I opened the tray to reveal spinach with cubes of cheddar cheese melting. :x

O2 are getting increasingly useless - after fcuking up my original DD, their phone payment system only registers payments on your second attempt. Then after them fcuking about with their infrastructure, I had to get a new router, at which point they offered me a lower rate with shaping only kicking in at midnight. Guess which rate I'm still on two months later :x

Is it an EU requirement for companies to be crap these days or something?

I did have a friend who ordered a paneer dish and it was served up with a slice of burger cheese on top.

But did they at least get proper paneer in the dish?

Nope, that was the 'paneer'.

Yikes! So what happened? I simply never returned to the takeaway but I advised mates to stay away. If they can't get paneer right, I doubt they got anything else right.

Yes, curvy girls ARE more attractive than skinny girls. Hips and curves all the way.

YOU however, are just fat. Nothing against you for that, but don't lie to yourself.

I am on the chubby side at the moment, but actually pretending to talk to my large cousin who is suggesting she looks better because of her layers.
