Just had a text from my sister letting me know that her FIL has had a heart attack, I text the wife and she responds with "Omg bad?"

I wasn't aware that there was a good heart attack!!

Well, there is the heart attack where you spend a couple of days being checked out, and the one where you die before the ambulance gets to you, so fair question I'd say...

there can be ones were symptoms are relatively mild and the subsequent checks and investigations reveal for example congenital abnormalities which could equally have killed the victim, luck of the draw etc. So the good thing can be that this is then spotted and can be treated/fixed without significant bad effects... so I guess whilst these are not good heart attacks, they have some positive outcome.

I’ve made comment that i’d like to try it which is where she got the idea and again great gesture from here but only a comment in passing.

Indeed, each to their own.

What's the restaurant?

I think I would be quietly cancelling the football and becoming enthusiastic about a lovely birthday treat at Le Gavroche.

As with any football game ever there will be another one soon. Plus what if you go and it’s 0-0 ?

Thank you wife for booking a decent restaurant for my birthday treat. But nah I don't really fancy it, I'll be off to the footie instead. See yah.

Is probably the correct response. (not in person of obvs, probly a text)

22 millionaires kicking a pigs bladder about or a few plates of posh food in little portions that you could fit in your eye?
(I've never heard of that restaurant BTW)

The name rang a bell and a quick Google shows it is a Michel Roux Jr.'s restaurant.

Funny enough he visited a company I worked for. We had a canteen and he did some of his food for us. He was also signing copies of his book and taking pictures with people.

One from my wife this morning.

I love you.


I'm struggling with this. Is this a trap?

Absolutely. You need to do the 3 checks - is the car damaged? is the credit card maxed? do you have an unusual burning sensation when you pee?

No.
No.
And No.

Excellent place. Legendary for being the first UK restaurant for winning one, two then three stars. Went down to 2 stars in 1993.
Proper old school French cooking and service. Wonderful.

As it appears that you live in Scotland, I’m not surprised that you don’t know it.
If you head north up Park Lane, from Hyde Park Corner, turn right into Upper Brook St., and it’s on the right, just before Park St., maybe 90 metres before Grosvenor Square.

Took Becs there last year for a special occasion - possibly not the best food we've had (still very very good, but I'd put 3 or 4 1* and 2* Michelin-star restaurants we've visited ahead of it for taste and 'wow' - maybe that's partly because this is, as above, traditional French cuisine done perfectly, and I like some more inventive stuff), but certainly the best service and 'choreography' of the experience. Oh, and the cheese trolley was awesome...an entire table on wheels FULL of cheese!

I'd be going to Le Gavroche. You're mental to turn down a restaurant that has a year waiting list for a game of footie.

You have to wait a year to play football in a restaurant?

[Blown2CV]

Are the football tickets not able to be resold?

It's a niche interest.

I see M.Roux most mornings, can ask him to put the footy on for you?
