Funny you should ask. Is it because you don't think it's funny or you think it's not funny?

Why is it I see it when I post it? There's no clue whatsoever that there's anything wrong!

There is to us.
It's not there.

a note under the door promising me a surprise that will be waiting for me in the restaurant tonight.

All the friends and family you went there to avoid will appear.......

So what was the surprise?

They were all naked!   

[The Gonz]

They'd never heard Alan's jokes before!

[AlanHo]

Let me clear up the confusion - I confirm that I too thought it was funny - by it - I meant Dave's comment.  I also thought it funny that gonz should think it funny.

Perhaps you lot will now stop bickering.

My surprise at dinner was twofold –



First to choose as a gift any wine from their wine list – I chose a full bodied 2008 Spanish Rioja Tempranillo which was 55 Euros a bottle. It was far from being the most expensive on their list but was guided by their wine waiter.  It was absolutely luscious.

Second a birthday cake which we consumed about a quarter of in lieu of a dessert. Fortunately Libby had warned the staff not to do the “Happy Birthday” sing-song – I hate it.

We had a splendid evening and will be going there again tonight.

Wow, that's brilliant. .. I would be too tight to stay anywhere that flash, so that will never happen to me. :disappoint:

It was handy that Dave was there to take a photo...

Happy birthday to you....

High praise indeed!

Back in 2010 we spent time in Canada with our son and his family, timing the visit with his birthday.
We took them out to dinner and David, like Alan, hates the "Happy Birthday song thing and made us all promise not to mention it was his birthday. We didn't but at one point, he did, not noticing the waiter standing directly behind him.
Within 5 minutes a group of 5 waiters arrived at the table with a cake, candles and sang Happy Birthday, in which most of the other diners joined.
Absolutely loved it.

I must say Alan and in  ( Australian terms ) you look as fit as a Malley bull and proper posh in your suit.  I must admit since making Australia my home for the last 48 years  I no longer have a suit, my wardrobe consist of  pairs of shorts and short sleeved shirts, very casual.

One of my kids is getting married in May and she asked me if I'd give her away.
I replied that I don't know about that, but I'd sell her.
Her partner, Les, said, "I guess I have to pay for her then?"
I said, "No, when I said sell her, I meant to the highest bidder, so not necessarily to you." 
Anyway, I guess I'll have to hire a suit because I don't own one either.
Haven't done for years (at least not one that will fit me).

[John B]

Perhaps we should go half,s on the cost of buying a suit and share it in case I have to go to any funerals, oh hang on what if I have to wear it to mine, nahhh forget it , not having you rip it off me on the day.
