Greedy Jambo Posted March 26, 2022 Share Posted March 26, 2022 Don't get confused, i'm purely talking about hotdogs here. The jar read, ready to eat hot or cold, so i slipped a fat one straight down my neck, it was so tasty, and it got me thinking, surely gay men are missing out here.

It's most likely that management view taking out food, getting drinks and clearing tables as a priority. I also wouldn't take a bill to a table unless they asked for it.

Not such a big deal to tip (more a 'rounding up') there, so no big deal. Turks are particularly tardy about giving you the bill. And often when you ask they give you a free ouzo instead. Which certainly doesn't tempt me to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive had a few recently due to shoulder issue. Its a reputable place . however was pleasantly surprised when i got assigned my masseur...Holy moly. Anyway he def gave me a real rub down but felt no pain from it. The serious part here . I think your meant to feel some pain after it surely as it may evidence they are helping your muscles? Im not sure. I just enjoy the chilled time although the piped music is dreadful.

JudyJudyJudy Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 2 hours ago, jonesy said: Re massages. Used to go weekly for foot massage in China together with the wife. Loved it. Felt great afterwards. As well as that, used to go occasionally to the blind masseurs in Urumqi. Apparently they train them to a) give them work and b) they consider them to have better understanding of the body through touch. Not sure if that's just marketing bullshit, but the blind masseurs used to zero in on the knots in my back straight away rather than going through standard routine. One of them gave a mate such a hard massage he was physically sick afterwards. Favourite place of all time, however, was a place recommended to me by a Chinese/Uyghur doctor. You went in and they made you drink a glass of firewater from an old water dispenser that they'd filled with booze, herbs and, for reasons known only to barbaric ritual, a couple of deid terrapins. Anyway, a quick 干杯 later and you're popped down onto the massage bench and the masseuse starts jabbering away to you in a completely unfathomable Chinese dialect while working on your arms. Never lasted more than 10 mins before falling asleep, awakening an hour later to feeling as light as a feather. Would highly recommend to anyone, except perhaps vegetarians. Sounds a great experience. Ive had 3 massages from the guy. Ive not really noticed a massive improvement but I think it needs to be a combination of massage, exercise and pills.

Captain Slog Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 What is Poutine? I told a Canadian workmate I'd seen a Canadian restaurant at the top of Leith walk, she visited the same night, and insisted on the next mornings zoom everyone went to and tried it. I told my Kansian wife, and she demands we book a table and go. Is Down the hatch, name of the place. Both insist it has to be the right 'squeaky cheese'. But when i look it it up it just looks like chips and gravy, and i can get that from Javits or nine dragons. @Maple Leaf, OR @Sharpie, please educate me, and is this some Canadian national dish like the Aussies have meat floaters, which always sounded like a pie dumped in pe soup to me.

It's simple enough, consisting of french fries covered in gravy then covered in a cheese sauce. Some people love it, some people hate it, some people like me have never tried it. It's typically offered in fast food places like McDonald's. I prefer my fries with salt, malt vinegar, and brown sauce. In other words, I prefer my fries Scottish style, not Quebec style.

In America if you ask for the bill, they don't know what you mean - "We don't have anyone called Bill in here". You have to ask for the "check" - which is equally strange, since they call a bank account with a cheque book facility a "checking account". So, a document which implies that you owe money is called the same as a document which signifies that you own the money. English is a strange language sometimes. 🙄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
