Janey McGurk

This weekend finds me a happier man now that my lady friend has decided that I need constant companionship and a few nice cushions and a throw on my sofa to make it less gloomy. It's funny how female company can make you change your mind about being a miserable bastard forever. Now I have to phone my sister and tell her that her spare room back in Glasgow will no longer be required.

Maybe next month?

Time

Where does it go? One minute I had my final college exams and I was all excited about becoming a catering God, the next I am standing in someone else's grotty little kitchen peeling spuds. Time is a curse, I spend my day looking at my watch willing the hands to turn faster so that I can hang up my whites, which are more of an abysmal grey, and head out alone to yet another over-priced back street London bar. There was a time when I used to swagger around my home town in Scotland and smile widely because I had an inkling that the grass was going to be greener as soon as I had my degree and would open up so many restaurants in the big city of London and become hugely rich and famous like so many others that have gone before me. Time seems to have fucked me and now I am left holding the hands of poverty and unhappiness.

Long Live The Chef

Another one bites the dust, and another one gone, another one gone, another one bites the dust. Is it temporary or is it really the end of the chef? I just got reacquainted with the big yin too. I suppose there is always bookface to fall back on I suppose.

Luxury Saturday

Luxury Saturday I am going to call it. Roast chicken sandwiches on soft fluffy bread, real ale in straight glasses and an evening ahead in the company of my sister and her single friend. I'm thinking blu ray, a good comedy, followed by lashings and lashings of good red wine.

Students

University towns, what a crock of poop. All day long students with little money keep me run off my feet with ridiculous requests for a bottle of coke and 2 straws. How long can you make a warm bottle of coke last before my patience wears thin? 4 hours it would seem. Not happy at all.

Reminder To Self

Important! When making macaroni with cheese, check to make sure the blue catering plaster is still securely attached to fingers prior to serving the customers. It's not been a good day.

Rude Shitheads

There is definitely something wrong with rude people who insist on pushing their luck with people who work retail. The guy who thought he could lean over the counter and call me an asshole because his eggs were not cooked how his wife makes them for instance! I dont need to take his shit. So I didnt. Enjoy the eggs and your busted lip for the rest of the week shithead.
