Update Note:

There's now a full blog on this at Hells Kitchen: I hate trifle, I didn't hate this, that in itself is impressive.

How funny, lovin' this thread! Haven't watched hell's kitchen this yr, but may do tomoz to catch a glimpse of our fave money saver!


Are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

Oh I like seared tuna steak, Martin. I hope your tuna is great.


Yep I have a sad postcount. A user once got an AE to “discuss” it with those who care about such things. That's not sad . Also, it is said I can get a user banned "just by asking admin" and blah. Oh such power. You're next, mwahahaha...

Make sure he doesn't tell you off or chuck you out for using your phone (especially if you've been spotted!)
