So, today was Adams birthday.
Bleh.
So anyone who follows me on twitter will know how I worked my ass off, making him a birthday cake, and I’ve done nothing short of try my best despite the fatigue, and pain, well now his birthday is over, tomorrow is Valentines, and then, I can finally give in to it and start resting up. Yay.
We went to my grandparents first. Weird, I know, but its what he wanted. I was half asleep in the car towards the end of the journey, then again in the house, I got up and ate an apple, praying for a little more energy. It worked for all of 5 mins, I used my remaining energy just eating the apple. I stayed for a little while, but ended up going to my room [I have a room at my nans, the smallest bedroom which is just the guest room now but I chose its deco and everything when I was little and to this day, it is still decorated as such, neat, tidy, and with the bed covered in teddies and plushies. :') ] and yeah, I decided to have a lie down and try catch a few zeds. I managed. Well half assed-zeds but it helped. I was panicking and iffy. Had a spell on the landing where I just went KAPUT! on the floor. I’ve never really had one like that at my grandparents before. I did have a couple of off balance moments in the kitchen with my grandad earlier though when I filled my tank up with grape juice. *pats belly* Yum. After a bit, we went home. My mum and nan were wiing together on the wii fit, my grandfather and Adam were having a natter. Good stuff. It was acceptable for me to rest. *nod* especially as we would be going out later.
Got home, after a bit, re-washed my hair [cus it went all icky from sleeping at nans] and re-did my make up. Just in time. I started panicking and saying I couldn’t do it, I couldn’t go. I figured I’d have a better chance and more leway if mum took us, so I asked her to, instead of us taking a taxi, after some convincing, she agreed.
There were road works up in Sutton which resulted in diversion. Which resulted in mum getting a tad bit lost as she wasn’t too sure where she was going in the first place. This induced a little more panic, but relaxed another part of me at the same time. “Theres no rush” I told myself. She dropped us off at a bus stop near by the resturaunt. As the resturaunt wasn’t actually somewhere where you could park outside of. This also calmed me down a bit. “You can do it!” I told myself. I said to myself, I had to bear through it and so if it were to happen again, it would be easier the next time. It’d be a positive experiance.
We went in to the resturaunt. Dead on 9pm when the table was booked for. Met up with Sarah who I hadn’t seen in ages, Ant, Mike and Dan [aka Nels]. Sausage fest. Faaaaaaaaab. *cough* It was at LEAST 9:20pm when we actually got our table. Thats the last time I actually bothered to look at my phone. So more than 20 mins to be seated. Our server didn’t bother offering us drinks, nobody explained how the place worked [so Adam and I, first timers, had to make presumptions] and there were some incredibly rude people standing right behind us, between our table and the empty one next to it, blocking the way. Sarah yelled at the waitress who was reluctant to give us drinks. We got them after like… 15 mins though. Crap service. Adam went and got food with the others, Sarah had hers and was back first. Adam went to sit back down but the rude guys had migrated and were blocking the way. He walked the entire way round our 10 seat table to sit down. I yelled at the guy, EXCUCSE ME! …I was ignored. I yelled again, “Excuse me, can you move please!” Gotta yell in that place, its noisier than a school cafeteria. Still ignored me. I really started to lose my patience. “EXCUSE ME PLEASE, CAN YOU MOVE, YOU’RE BLOCKING HIS SEAT!” He gave me a dirty look and did one of those “move shoulders but not actually moving out the way really” kind of things. *sigh* Adam got seated and just looked at me as if to say … confrontation, hmmm. Lol.
I then got up to use the bathroom. I came back to my seat, being who I am, I’d pushed my chair underneath the table. A woman had joined the group of rude people and was blocking the way now too, as well as the previous rude guy standing where my chair would have been. I had to stand there a sec, they sorta noticed, and I said, “can you move please mate, you’re blocking my chair!” and he just gave me evils and I threw my chair half way across the floor, moved in front of my place, and pulled it in and sat down. Lolpwnt. THEN the geezer tried to backchat me. And at this point, I found out from Sarah that he worked there so I may make a formal complaint. He said “its all yours!” with a snidy, dirty look, so with the new info, I said, “damn right it is, I’m paying £16.99 for this bloody meal, I’m damn well gonna sit in my fucking seat for it.” He just glared at me. I should have knocked his fucking turban off. Stupid prick. Adam just looked at me like… woah. XD Hes not seen me be that confident and confrontational before. Lulz. Prolly the only time I ever am, when I’m pissed off. I was furious as it was Adam’s birthday and I didn’t want pricks getting in the way ruining it when Adam isn’t the type to speak up, so he would have stood there for ages, had I said nout. Though if I hadn’t, Sarah probably would.
Oh yes, and then the food! I paid £17 for a small piece of pizza. Which was crap. A small handful of chips, which were crap. 6 roast potatoes. [Technically 3 if you count how they're halves] And a small piece of grilled chicken. Okay, to be fair, I could have gotten bigger pieces, more potatoes, or other food, but there was nothing else there that particularly took my fancy. Most of the potatoes were ok-ish and the chicken was alright eaten with the potatoes but still. I paid £17 and that is all I ate. Then it cost me £3.19 for a fucking glass of coke. Oh, for any americans. Thats about $32 USD for the meal. And $7 for the drink. Joy. The selection of food was also crap. There most certainly was NOT something for everyone.
So yeah, bad food, bad service, bad environment. Nobody asked us if we needed anything, if we wanted more drinks. We wern’t thanked for our custom. Worst meal out I have EVER had. And I’ve had some bad meals out!
I think from now on, I’ll be sticking to Buffet Island, where they don’t race ahead while supposedly showing you to your table, no matter how busy they are. They make sure you’re aware of any steps there may be so you do not trip. They ask you immediatley if you would like a beverage, and if they could get you anything, and just to ask if we required anything else. They do not crowd you while you eat. They have nicer food. They [usually] bow, and always say thank you! when you leave. Whether you tipped them or not. [Now we've been going more regularly, we tip, but they always said thanks before we tipped them, too. It HAS to be good service for me to leave a tip!] The staff are way more sociable and “hope you enjoy your meal” and “hope the food was to your liking!” So yes. I think from now on, will definatley be keeping to Buffet Island. I don’t care whos birthday it is or what, I will never be returning to Jimmy Spices. Appauling services. Would I reccomend to a friend? Maybe if they had pissed me off enough and I wanted revenge. Maybe thats why people cancelled when they found out we’d be going to Jimmy Spices instead of TGI’s.
Hes covered in a delightful rash. It was amusing at first. I said he had fleas. Lol. But its not funny now. He has a nasty angry red rash that looks like he’s had an allergic reaction.
