Do you want to Toss the Barman? Dice game.


The Well is what i would call a Gastro Pub Restaurant in London. Excellent food and drinks. The only disadvantage is that there is no underground or train station nearby. They have started an interesting experiment. In fact they often have interesting experiments there and my visit was in fact using Tastecard which gave me 50% the food bill.

Every tuesday you can gamble the price of your drinks by rolling a pair of dice.

double 6 = free
Odd number = pay half
Evens = Pay up
Excellent idea. Love it.

Films and things


Went to see Harry Potter tonight and have to say a seriously average film. Bit of a mystery film really with the mystery being where is the acting? The main characters remind me of table football when you spin the men in a line, they walked around in a line all the time with expressions not far off gormless. Bit of fighting and thats it. Did I understand the ending, well not really. Was Snape Harry’s father? Who knows. And as for the scene 19 years on, they looked like 19 minutes older……….
The high point of the evning though was dinner at Red Peppers in Esher. Using my magical tastecard ( the 50% discount card etc….), whole meal for 3 came to £30 ( of which 15£ was alcohol). Food was great, chicken burrito, yum.
