Some topics that really should have been covered last night but were left out to make room for the Terrorist Spider alert.

Last night I went out with family for my Dads birthday. We ended up going to a restaurant in town, The Walrus and Carpenter (or was it baker, butcher or candle stick maker?).

Anyway, this place came highly rated from my Dad. I was less than impressed. The place was certainly clean, no problems there, but it was small, tatty and the walls were covered in old posters. Now, this may be to some people’s tastes, but not mine.

The menu didn’t satisfy me either; there wasn’t a great deal of choice. I decided to go for an Organic Beef Burger with salad and chips. The salad and chips were lovely but I wasn’t pleased with the burger. Yet again it wasn’t at all bad quality and many people would have loved it. It wasn’t to my taste though. It seemed to be made of mince and was not fully cooked – kind of like a medium steak.

Although it wasn’t a bad quality restaurant, I will not be eating there again.

After the meal I went home to watch the Arsenal – Man United game. What a fantastic match, six goals, one red card, fights and a lot of passion from the players. The game finished 4-2, sadly to Man Utd although as a Leeds fan I still admit that the best team won – even though it hurts to say it!

I’m finally off to watch The Aviator tonight, wish me luck, sitting through a 3 hour Leonardo Di Caprio film, I’ll need it!
