  1. Brazilian on golden square

    So what's the deal with this place, is it a Tapas type affair where you order a little dish of loads of different things? A set menu...?

    Preety much as Lucky as pointed out. Go in, sit down. Salad bar in the middle of the restaurant which you just take your plate up to and help yourself (as tempting as it is, don't go nuts here people - you'll want to leave plenty of room for meat!). Sit back down and dudes in baggy trousers with huge slabs of meat go round the tables with their meat swords (haha), cutting slices off for all who want to partake. Each placing has a card next to it with one red side and one green side (flip it to the side you want depending on your carnivourous desire). Note that in my experiance the 'cheaper' (but still damn tasty) cuts of meat are normally offered to you first (chicken, sausage etc) in a clever ploy to fill you up before the sirloins and such like start doing the rounds (especially if you're in a large group) - you have been warned!

    Never had a bad experiance there - highly recommend.

    People who INSIST on reclining their seat for the entire duration of a long haul flight. Now this may be mainly due to my stature (I'm 6' 5" without heels), but when someone whos feet barely touch the floor decides to slam their seat back the moment they sit down in their emergency exit seat, it bothers me. When I say it bothers me I mean I'm quickly asking my angels that this inconsiderate being breaks both their knees falling down the jetway upon disembarking (only then will they know my pain), loses all of their baggage and is then subjected to a good rubber gloving without a lubricant in sight. For hours. And hours. And HOURS...

    Now I'm aware that everyone on the flight has paid for their ticket and as such have the same 33" I have. I'm also aware that it has been through my own free will (but mainly bank balance) that I have chosen to sit in cattle class, and as such I should have to deal with the consequences of this decision. But do they really need to be fully reclined while they eat? Surely that's bad for their digestion? My tray is now at a 45 degree angle, the VDU in the back of their headrest is 2 inches from my sternum and my legs are doing some sort of lower limb origami which is causing a great deal of cramp - in my ass!

    So the next time you travel economy spare a thought for the lanky twat that might be squeezed in behind you. He'd travel business class if he could afford it (or perhaps wasn't so thrifty!). Chances are he's not trying to be a dickhead when he asks you to move your seat forward if you're not trying to sleep, are less than 5' 5" tall or eating. Personally I never recline my seat because I know what it's like to be seat raped for 18 hours at 33,000feet. Karma will catch up with you inconsiderates. Hopefuly for hours. And hours. And HOURS...
