It was to be a special meal, greek night at the Oasis.Pepe had pre ordered loukamades from the mad dancing greek who had assured him that they would be there, ready for him. Andreas and the Patsy were joining us and all would be great fun.
Not.
It was mind numbingly hot , even at 9pm and things did not get off to a good start when Patsy was forced to wait, very reluctantly, for Neo coolboy who is always last to get ready.
Then , when the restaurant was invaded, the mad greek had a look of horror on his face because he clearly had completely forgotten the aforementioned louks in his excitement at leaping over flaming grappa probably.
Bad to worse.
Patsy finished her meal in a microsecond, I did not receive half of mine and still the carnivores of our party were awaiting half a lamb each closely followed by a whole emu.
Too much for the Patsy, she left.
I tried to leave but Pepe got very shirty about it and so I stayed to keep the peace.
Mistake.
Sat there for an hour, in the heat, no drink, whilst Pepe , not so patiently, waited for the missing loukamades.
Excuses ranged from, "Ive sent the wife out to get them" to the final "you know what, they BURNED the loukamades" To which I mouthed the reply "b******s"
All tempers were frayed and to cap it all, the bill then took another hour to arrive whilst the mad greek roasted his nether regions by leaping over flaming circles of grappa on the floor of the restaurant whilst balancing glasses on his head.
Altogether, a crap night.
More pleasant tales to follow.
