We went to Five Flies ( www.fiveflies.co.za ) last night, to celebrate Vanessa's birthday, venue is quite imposing but cool, we got a private room which was a good thing, becoz Marcia and I were on form. I blame the insuing madness on redwine, our waitron deserves a medal for putting up with our shit. Food was okay but not awe inspiring, as it was winter they had a 3 course special which only the vegetarians didn't opt for. You could choose any 3 courses from a variety of starters; soups; fish; maincourses and desserts. I chose Oysters in the shell (coz I love em) for starters, T-bone with buttered courgettes, chips and a cognac, green peppercorn jus and Rich chocolate fondant with vanilla pod ice cream for dessert. The oysters were heavenly, and as noone else at the table wanted, which was unusual, I got to hog em all. The steak was okay but not exceptional, I've had better at Cattle Barons, but the dessert rocked.it was a little tureen of warm chocolate heaven. The guys started a cellphone movie battle as to who had the grossest and stupidest videos, my episode with the condom last Saturday won, bastard Adam, I didn't know he was recording, but I was soo drunk at the time I doubt it would have mattered.

We did coffee in the cigar bar afterwards which was okay. although we had to wait 20 minutes for it and it was lukewarm when it arrived, yech.

The bill arrived and went around the table, everyone chipped in a few hundred per couple, until the bill arrived at the fucking vegetarians who proceeded to quibble every item on the bill with the waitron, it was so petty and stupid, their meal was cheaper than everyone elses anyway. It soured what was, up until that time, a great night out, fuck if you can afford to eat out, then make your excuses and don't come, but to go to a fancy restuarant and examine the bill like a forensic auditor is just so cheap and quite frankly, tacky. Pissed me off muchly...

I then drove Pavani's car all the way back to our place before remembering that we'd actually left our car at Vanessa's, oops had to turn round and go back, teehee silly me...hic.
