Good afternoon to you, dear reader. This week, we (by we I mean me) review Chompsky @ Broadcast. You know this; you’ve just read the title. I didn’t mean to insult your intelligence. Sorry. However – I am going somewhere with this – it’s an @. An @? Yes. By this, I mean it’s a […]
Ahoy hoy. So, I decided to go back to ‘Babs. If you want to read what I wrote about it the last time, it’s over here! The tl;dr of my first visit can be summed up as follows: kebab – small, alright but not mind blowing cup of tea – mind blowingly small And […]
“You review kebabs??” “Yes.” “What, REALLY???” This was an actual conversation that I had at work the other day. We were discussing the merits of Shawarma King (very good, recommended was my view), only to be challenged on the legitimacy of this view, because “it sounds like they only sell Shawarma”. I pointed my colleague […]
In all honesty, this is going to be a swift review. They’re not very good. Which is a shame. They tick all the right boxes, they open late, they have a big glowing sign, they have decent seating, but then they also sell this: This, ladies and gentlemen, is a doner kebab. Let’s start with […]
I was in town the other day, when I saw this: SO MANY QUESTIONS. I mean, the obvious one is this one: WHY? But that in of itself is not a very helpful question to ask, because the only answer to WHY, the wise man said, is “WHY NOT”. So here are some others: What […]
Hello, “dudes”. Today we go back to where it all began. You see, I wasn’t always a “kebab muncher”. In fact, there was once a time when I didn’t even eat meat. *record scratch* Yeah, you read that right. From about 16-ish to when I was 19-and-a-bit, I eschewed meat. I can’t remember exactly what […]
Hello again! Today, I review the Byblos Cafe in Glasgow’s trendy West End, and I tell ya, they didn’t make it easy. That review of Morello’s I did? That was meant to be this, only they don’t open on Sunday. Other times I’d popped by late at night, only to find they shut relatively early […]
You know what they say about buses, right? You wait ages for one, and then three turn up at once? Well, I am a self declared transport expert, and the people who say this are not, so please, take this advice with a pinch of salt. However, it also serves as a handy metaphor for […]
(Photo nicked off of their facebook page – https://www.facebook.com/Shawarma-King-977365035616411/) Yesterday, I went to a music festival. I had never been to one before, and with the exception of a brief teenage desire to go to the Reading Festival in the late nineties, had never really any desire to go to one. My logic was always thus: […]
Hello again, dear reader. After a haitus of about five years or so, you’re getting two posts in the space of two days! Lucky you, I guess. Let’s set the scene, shall we? It’s Friday, it’s about 4pm, you’ve just had your hair cut and you’re at a loose end in the centre of town […]
