Is that it? All you can eat? Are you 6 years old and 3ft 4in? I'd grab me:

4 sausages
8 bacon
8 hash browns
3 fried eggs
scrambled eggs
2 fried bread
toast
marmite
tea

Then go back for some more

And Afro and I are called the Jacamos?

My breakfast: A grapefruit with a glass of Orange & Lime Tropicana.

My first ever visit to Za Za Bazaar. Full of hen parties, but what a cheap, tacky, fantastic concept for a restaurant. Euro Division Homepage LIII - Page 20 3559488474

See I don't agree with that. While I'm obviously biased towards my old team, I think Bull just automatically gets votes against him for being, well, Bull. The team he put out was imo slightly better than Nando's, and while his tactics look dreary on screen, actually reading them shows that he's set them up well both defensively and offensively. Nando on t'other hand seemed to think that Defoe is the second coming of Messi, with 6 of his players given explicit instructions about dealing with him. I can't see how Bull loses that game at all, never mind 3-1. I just think people haven't read the tactics and given consideration to what's been put.

I'm fully prepared for a backlash btw, feel free, but if Bull was managing a different team I'd be saying the same thing. And it's not taking away from Nando's win, well done mate, but I don't see Bull ever getting a result - ever - with his good tactics being largely ignored.

Bull's actually quite good at tactics, so to an extent I agree with this. He has some clever ideas and deserves a bit more kudos.
I think this week they weren't quite right from my perspective and need a bit of fine tuning, but they are a good example that you can do good tactics without needing to waffle. Think I might copy him a bit and trim my down a bit

mmm seems like Bony needs to score at least 45,985 goals in the next few weks then if i have any chance of progressing, seeing as thatll be what it takes for people to take him seriously ....

btw im better today, think i over did it last night

we lost 4-3

were 3-0 at HT (20mine ach way)
pulled it back to 3-3 in the seond half
then conceded with 3 seconds to go to lose 4-3
it was literaly sickening

I don't eat breakfast, which is why when I do, I go full throttle. Last time I had breakfast was Saturday 9 March, all you can eat breakfast but with my Mum in attendance so couldn't go crazy (only went back for seconds, rather than thirds/fourths). Last time I had breakfast before that was Tuesday 25 December 2012, medium fry up cooked by the mother in law. And the time before that was Friday 6 July 2012, last day of our summer holiday so we went to a local cafe and had a medium fry up for £4.

I hate all cereals, don't like toast without accompanying fry up, and fruit is boring. I have a glass of water and get cracking with my day.

by **Hero** Tue 26 Mar 2013, 10:10 am

That sounds horrendous as a concept!!!
The just sheer amount of different food options must mean a huge amount of waste and produce that has preservatives galore in to store it. Also due to the huge range then I can't see how the chefs (for chefs I presume its spotty kids out of college) can master the dishes. I imagine there's a lot of microwaves back in the kitchen.

It's all cooked in front of you. There is a different station for each type of food, and there are specialist chefs in each station (so ones specifically for doing the chinese food, ones for indian food etc and without wanting to sound racist, they look like they are cooking the food of their own culture if you catch my drift.)

I had reservations about the food being sat around, but you'd be amazed how quickly it turns over, due to the sheer number of customers. The food isn't top quality, but I love the variety.

Will lawyers be out before 12pm?

by GSC Tue 26 Mar 2013, 10:18 am

Probably not. I'm still in bed

by Guest Tue 26 Mar 2013, 10:19 am

Best place I've ever eaten was Rodizio Ricos. All you can eat meat for £22-ish, cooked in full view of everyone, and the waiters bring it to your table and carve it straight onto your plate. Salad bar, chips, everything all there for helping yourself, and they give you a paddle with red on one side, green on the other - if you turn it to read they leave you alone, but keep it green, and they slice the meat right off. I must have eaten half a cow, 2/3 of a horse, and an entire pig that night.

by **Hero** Tue 26 Mar 2013, 10:20 am

The amount of food they must have to store then must be huge for such a wide variety of cultures and flavours. I suppose its handy when you go out as a group and no one can decide where to go! I'm the one that wants to always try something new whilst there's always one or two that want the plainest thing on the planet and everyone ends up then having a standard Chinese or Indian which bores the pants off me.

You'd probably like this Indian/Pakistani place I went to the other day. It was in the deep dark depths of East London and it served "authentic cuisine". I.e. not a vindaloo in sight.

It was really quite nice actually, but not as hot as I would have liked. Damn expensive too.

by **Hero** Tue 26 Mar 2013, 10:29 am

Yes probably would, if I go for an Indian I want it to be an Indian, not the English perception of an Indian restaurant with sauces galore smothering the food.

It's like Curry mile in Manchester, what a load of rubbish that is. The vast majority of the restaurants there are horrendous.

This was a pretty up market joint, and I could tell that purely by the amount of white folks with big black rimmed glasses eating there. As it was authentic you couldn't buy booze from them, but they allowed you to bring your own in Laugh

I had this spinach and beef thing and it was great. The best thing by far were their lamb chops though. They were incredible.

by GSC Tue 26 Mar 2013, 10:33 am

Come to Leicester for a curry

That is the aim. Sod will need to do them if GSC is still being lazy.

I want them up to create a bit of competition when the limit goes up

by **Hero** Tue 26 Mar 2013, 10:34 am

Preferred eating experiences for me would be...

Sapporo Teppanyaki: Japanese in Castlefield, offers sushi and range of Japanese dishes that are prepared at the table.

Loch Fyne: Love seafood and there's a couple of these in Knutsford and Alderly Edge, last anniversary we had lobster and oysters, that was my months wage blown!

The Mongolian Barbeque: Just off Canal St in Manchester, pick your meat, pick your spices, watch it be cooked. Great fun place to go.

You should probably be pleased more than worried Laugh

We went to Hooters in Vegas and got beaten by their 50 wing platter. We're going back for round two, and so help me I will ingest that chicken if it kills me. Which it may.

Where is good to go out in Nottingham, by the way?

by Guest Tue 26 Mar 2013, 10:40 am

50 wing platter, easy. 150 might be a challenge. It's like steak - I was physically restrained by my uncle from continuing eating steak, I was about to order my 7th 14oz steak when he said I could die if I eat too much Shocked

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Tue 26 Mar 2013, 10:42 am

The Mongolian Barbeque

Yes!!! Being Indian, Indian restaurants aren't that amazing to me, cant beat my moms cooking & when I bring stuff into work people love it! I swear it like there starved for days how qucik they will flock to get some food off me.
Anyway, Mongolian Barbeque!!! Awesome!. Pick your meats & that, spices & watch them cook it up, I really like the one I went to.

As long as they're up by 11:45, otherwise it's too much of a smash and grab.

by GSC Tue 26 Mar 2013, 10:51 am

Fiver on Adkins to Reading at 7/2

by Guest Tue 26 Mar 2013, 10:53 am

Are you telling me to put money on it GSC, or that you did and can afford a McFlurry to go with your large Big Mac Meal?

by GSC Tue 26 Mar 2013, 10:54 am

2 mcflurrys

by sodhat Tue 26 Mar 2013, 10:54 am

Reckon you're able to handle lawyers this morning GSC?

As soon as they are done we can post them up.

by Marky Tue 26 Mar 2013, 10:56 am

Sodhat, need an answer on the offer on your page before lawyers please.

by sodhat Tue 26 Mar 2013, 10:56 am

Yes, I will get there very shortly my friend.

by GSC Tue 26 Mar 2013, 10:56 am

I'm in bed

by sodhat Tue 26 Mar 2013, 10:58 am

Ok

I will get a coffee and start on the PL lawyers now. Be up in half an hour I should hope. Barring a mass collapse of a contract that would require my attention.

by Marky Tue 26 Mar 2013, 10:58 am

sodhat wrote:Yes, I will get there very shortly my friend.

It's ok, but it hinges on me accepting my current lawyers offer and if GSC was doing them now, i'd have to get a move on. Luckily he's a lazy schlaig.

by GSC Tue 26 Mar 2013, 10:59 am

I'm going in the shower in a min so if you can wait 20 mins ill do them then

by sodhat Tue 26 Mar 2013, 11:01 am

No it's ok, we're skirting close to the 12pm deadline and we want to get them done beforehand

I will do them now

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Tue 26 Mar 2013, 11:11 am

Last time I went think I was in some place called Pandoras box I think, was ok tbf.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Tue 26 Mar 2013, 11:17 am

last call on Lampard anyone!

by sodhat Tue 26 Mar 2013, 11:18 am

All lawyers are now up for the week in both leagues.

May the madness commence.

by GSC Tue 26 Mar 2013, 11:19 am

Why is 12pm a deadline now. Usually mid afternoon or so they go up?

by sodhat Tue 26 Mar 2013, 11:20 am

Because of the TP rise today, and people needing cash

It's only this week that there was a rush on

by **Afro** Tue 26 Mar 2013, 11:25 am

Yeah. I wanted to pump a bit of cash into the league for the TP increase, grab the Euro Division Homepage LIII - Page 20 1347041234

and sit back and enjoy.

It's sport really

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Tue 26 Mar 2013, 11:26 am

I cant have Lamps again in Lawyers, I sold him just before new ones were posted.
Edit, Poop no I didnt. Didnt look properly & see the Pedro one.
Thats rubbish, ive just been screwed out out a potential deal =, full knew I was selling Lamps. Oh well thats the way this place works.

by Marky Tue 26 Mar 2013, 11:27 am

In hindsight, i've taken a massive gamble Laugh

by GSC Tue 26 Mar 2013, 11:30 am

Alright then

by sodhat Tue 26 Mar 2013, 11:30 am

I am selling Hernanes to lawyers shortly. If anyone wants to keep him in league they can beat his lawyers fee, otherwise he is offskis until season 3.

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Tue 26 Mar 2013, 11:32 am

At least you got 2 lawyers offes this week

by **Afro** Tue 26 Mar 2013, 11:36 am

I don't really understand the grumble Zidane?

by Marky Tue 26 Mar 2013, 11:36 am

Yeah ZZZ, everyone had a whole week to accept their offers...

by Zinedine_Ze_Zebra Tue 26 Mar 2013, 11:38 am

I don't really understand the grumble Zidane?

There isnt. Im on track for what I want.
Just having a moan because that what people expect of me #Supply&Demand
