Hello! Let’s get down to business: I’ve not really got a lot to say in terms of the usual whimsical pre-amble, mainly cos there isn’t one. I did consider a musical intro by way changing the words of, say, The Real Me by The Who, or possibly The Real Thing by Tony Di Bart, to […]
Hello! I do wish this was some kind of delayed April Fools joke, or at the very least a fever dream of some sort, but it’s not. You can now get kebabs, of a sort, in Wetherspoons. They look like this: Now, full disclosure: if you’re reading this somewhere south of Preston, you’re in luck! […]
Hello there! Today’s journey takes us on a trip not just to a kebab shop in the suburbs, but also a metaphorical journey into how places enter my consciousness in the first instance! You see, there is only so much you can write on any given subject, and the longer this blog runs, the fewer […]
Hi all! This is a quick one – Der Berliner have opened up on Bell Street. Following Glasgow Live’s report that they were due to open towards the end of 2022 – well, that came and went, but having passed by recently it was clear that opening was imminent. As it happened, I checked their […]
Hello there! Long time no speak! Happy New… Year? It’s very nearly March. Now, normally I wouldn’t be seen dead doing one of those “Top 10” listicles that were very popular on the internet a few years ago, but circumstances change! In my case, I’ve more or less visited all the kebab shops I’ve ever […]
HIYA! What can I say? It’s a Pot Noodle. Don’t expect the usual high quality writering here – well, that’s a low bar if ever there was one, but manage your own expectations, I guess. Pot Noodles get a bad rep, which I think is slightly unfair – haute cuisine they are not, but what […]
Hello, chums. Well, here it is, it’s 12.45 on a Saturday afternoon, and I’m typing away in real time, awaiting a tray full of goodies! Well, a kebab and some chips. As such, this review will likely be a little different to the usual ones – which are stream-of-consciousness jobs at the best of times, […]
OK, so in my head, I thought 5 would be sufficient. However, with the recent heat we’ve been having, and considering that Thursday is Donerstag, I ended up finishing these lighter meals at Babs the other week, with the Hummus Chicken Shawarma. Now, for those following the general trend here (no bread, no chips = […]
IT’S PRACTICALLY HEALTH FOOD. Not my words, but rather the blurb on their menu which has remained more-or-less unchanged, I believe, since 2005. Naturally, this was next on my to do list. I made the mistake of a) going on a Sunday and b) not ringing ahead. This was a mistake because everybody in the […]
Hello! So far, I’ve looked at Ottoman Coffeehouse, Feta, and Doner Haus, and now I head round the corner to look at GDK’s salad and meat option – the Gym Doner Box. Now, this was a revelation when I discovered it – they’ve been doing this for ages and in many ways it is the […]
