Nice beer there though.

True. Good beer and food and weā€™re getting a night out tomorrow

Is that Flannerys down in the far corner?

Did you pop into Tan Heng Thaiā€™s for a fancy coffin?

Afternoon G&Tā€™s with full blown notions to tee things up and then the deal is closed in the TFK nominated best pub in the empire

The amount of Londoners who have no clue about this place never ceases to amaze me. No TVs for distraction. No food downstairs to delay things. Possibly the best negotiating place in London that isnā€™t a boardroom table.

Poxy flight home delayed by over the magic 2 hours. Anyone claim under the Regulation? Is it easy or a pain in the hole, with are lingus

No idea. I usually get one of my people to take care of stuff like that.

Drink a couple of Zipfers while youā€™re waiting.

all youā€™ll get for 2 hours is meal and refreshments, possibly cover for a hotel should you want it and transfers to the hotel.

Thereā€™s a lovely buffet in the lounge at KL, but youā€™d want a map and compass to find your way round the airport. Fucks sake like. Out terminal a, through emigration, downstairs, back upstairs, check in, security scan, re-immigration, sky train and then half an hour wandering round. ā€œitā€™s beside Starbucksā€ I was directed, which I realised is fuck all good if you canā€™t find that either.
Two hours here, itā€™s now 1130pm, seven and a half to dubai, three hour stop off then six and a half back to Manchester, which is a fucking dump anyway. FML. Iā€™ve started drinking.

Are you away? You should have mentioned it

A good while.15 mins at least on the wrong floor of some sort of tripod system. I nearly ended up in the ladies underwear section in pennyā€™s.

You should fuck off

It happens to the best of us, Iā€™m in NL on bidness and Iā€™ve just spent a good 20 mins wandering around Den Bosch looking for some noodley-chickeny goodness. Itā€™s a humid 26 degrees here and I had no desire for a Clubsandwich met friet or a Americankaasburger met friet which seems to be the pinnacle of Dutch cuisine. Never even occurred to me to just Google it. Anyways, the upshot is Iā€™ve gone for some sort of Latino establishment and am tucking into 3 (three) enchiladas picadillos (spicy). Everyone else is dressed like a Dutch person and I am dressed like an off-duty Jehovahā€™s Witness. I will be sweating and farting every step of the way home.

The Indonesian food is the best thing in the Netherlands

Belgian food and beer is the only good thing in NL. The land that culture forgot.
