The chip on my shoulder is sour cream flavored
What a weekend,
Friday night i went drinking with friends. Saturday morning (afternoon actually) we awoke to our stomachs growling. Danny boy suggested some fish and chips so we hopped in the car and took off for that "London Fish and Chips" place in Cary. That was a bad idea.

We walked into the place, it smelled pretty ripe but that didnt stop us. We strolled past a few tables to the counter, i couldnt help but notice the parallel cuts on the counter girls arm. She seemded familiar to me as well so i know that couldnt be good. Took her forever to take our very simple order (we just wanted 3 orders of fish and chips and 3 drinks, not rocket science) and she seemed completely out of it. Well after we paid it took her a few more minutes to notice we were still standing there waiting for our cups. After she finally forked over our cups we walked to the soda machine, damn near everything on it was labeled "out of order". Next to it were two jugs, one said sweet tea, the other unsweet tea. Of course we went for the sweet tea and of course they werent labeled correctly and it wasnt until we sat down that i took my first gulp of bitter day old tea. Those fuckers. We poured our cups down the trash and tried the other jug. it was sweetened tea but really not that good. I thought about informing the cracked out countergirl of her error but chose not too, after all we suffered, why shouldnt the rest of those people. We returned to our seats and waited for about 20 minutes before our food was brought to us. Half of the "chips" were way over cooked, the other half werent bad though. The fish was pretty good so at least i didnt go postal. Another thing i noticed, we were in a place that tried to be themed towards the brits, pictures of famous brits lined the walls (mainly beatles members) and those british flags were everywhere but the music they were playing was from 96.1, i expected to hear the beatles/sex pistols/insert other brit band here but instead we got 20 year old hillbilly rock.

It sucks that this place is garbage, it had so much potential. Oh and the prices were wayyyy too steep.

Anyways after breakfast/lunch/garbage i went home and picked the place up a bit. Got a call from my ex so i went to pick her up. Its weird hanging out with your now ex girlfriend, we didnt do anything different from when we were going out, still making out and having that amazing passionate stuff that you people dont need to hear about. Still madly in love with one another, im starting to not understand why we broke up. She stayed the night, i made food, there was lots of love. Took her home this morning, that felt awkward. I just want to see her again, and again, and maybe even more again. Nobody fits into my pink fuzzy slippers like she does.


I think im having dinner with my headphone mike today, i got a lot to talk to the man about. Sometime tonight i have to pickup some friends who are getting back into town. Dont really have anything else planned for this sunday.

I do have a plan for the near future though, since the drought finally broke and i have access to a decent chunk of land once again im gonna be planting some food. I gotta refresh myself on all the details but im pretty sure i can save a nice pile of money by growing a chunk of my food supply myself and trading the excess for other little products.

This time though, i am gonna try to learn the art of having a micro vineyard. Always wanted to make my own wine and it cant be that hard to learn. I could bottle my own brand "Bones's backyard wine, i grew this shit and now you gotta drink it fucker". Might be fun, too bad i couldnt sell it... high school kids would love it. I have been needing to learn a new skill.

Anyone wanna go fly a kite with me this week?

wow... have you ever been in a real chippy? i doubt it- The food isn't supposed to be amazing. It's cheap, simple food that's often times overcooked. Russ has tried his damnedest to get the place as authentic as he can, while still being appealing to the americans. Mostly however, it's aimed at the large British community in Cary. Yes, they've had teething troubles- he's gone through 3 entirely different staffs in the time he's been open and he's looking to have another major overhaul soon, and over xmas they had to close for a couple of weeks due to family issues but he's working his ass off to try and get things running smoothly again. The place got rave reviews in the newspaper and on every site it's been mentioned on and I can't say that I've ever had a bad meal there- Russ even comp'd our meal last time we went because of an issue with my bank. Over critical much? I'd suggest next time you'd be happier with McDonalds.

I wasnt really bitching about the food, the chips were mostly over cooked but all in all the food wasnt bad, i was more bitching about the service. I wouldnt call what i said as being over critical, just called it as i saw it. Your opinion may differ from mine, you seem to have some kind of friendship with the guy in charge but i cant say i have any bias.

I like eating out and i seldom have anything bad to say about the places i go but this place just didnt get my stamp of approval. Maybe i went on a bad day. Maybe not.

If its supposed to be cheap and simple food then why were we paying almost ten dollars a head for half an order of fish and chips with a drink?

Dont get so touchy about it though, if you really want to promote the place then going off on someone who had a bad time there wont really help your cause.

Oh, and yes, i have been to a real chippie. Last was i went to was in new york. May not have been in London but they made the same authentic boast and i didnt have any grief with the place.
