    BB - I find the buffet places a bit too canteen like for a 'date'. All that upping and downing and trying to get your moneys worth.
    I agree, I'd not been there before.

    I'm not really into the buffet places, but as he'd originally brought the leaflet around it seemed a good way to get him out with me for just £5.50! He was miffed it came to £18.50 in total and was questioning it as we left. He thought it was going to be cheaper than £5.50 each - I think he'd read the lunch time prices - £3.95. Drinks were £2.50 each - I had a glass of wine and he had a pint of beer and he said 'you could have had a Magners' when I said I wanted a second glass of wine which translates to 'a Magners is twice the volume of wine and would have cost me the same as 1 glass of wine'. I asked for a pint of cider for my second drink - they didn't have any - so I had another glass of wine :rotfl:

    Why don't you suggest you go for a meal somewhere nicer during the week. Say that it was a bit carp wasn't it dear, shall we go a little bit more upmarket.
    it's taken me about a year (barring holidays) to get him to go out anywhere with me - he doesn't like eating in restaurants very much as it is - to quote him last night 'I don't like restaurants. You don't know what you're getting'. And 'upmarket' doesn't go with him I'm afraid. If I said what you suggest, i'd get 'so, I take you out and you still moan?'

    Fran has gone :( and :) he sort of has a visa, it's very complicated but he is going as management for this next week and then he will start mixing next week when his visa is here. Thank god these things are for 5 years is all I can say.

    at least you know you'll have the money Toto, although it is a bummer he has to be away so long.

    Maybe start counting the days until you meet us lot in Weybiza :D
